A TRUE MUSICAL EXTRAVAGANZA (Oct 25) is one of TWO BENEFIT CONCERTS for Larry Wines (editor of the Guide, music journalist and radio host) who is recovering from eye surgery (without medical insurance). They are Friday night, Oct 23rd at 8 pm, and Sunday, Oct 25th from 1 to 8 pm. These include many of L.A.’s top award-winning artists and best acoustic bands.

In other news, The KNITTING FACTORY in Hollywood calls it quits after their multi-stage show Sunday night, Oct 25. Though they’ve brought us some fine acoustic acts, like the AVETT BROTHERS, they’re going out with a big lineup of loud rock and ska. Maybe they shoulda brought in more Americana music…

Last edition, we said, “DON YOUR SAFARI SHIRT (the one with all those pockets) and put the leather helmet and goggles on, so you can brave the freeways in that open-top tin Lizzy. There is sooooo much REAL music waiting for you, right here in the Guide!” ~ well, guess what? At BOULDER ACOUSTIC SOCIETY’s fine show on Oct 20, they showed the audience their new CD ~ and how the package transforms into a stereopticon viewer, which is a little leather helmet, and goggles you look through to view each of the four stereo pictures they include. Is that serendipitously congruous, or what?

The editor still can’t use the computer as his recovery continues to progress from eye surgery – but he does contribute some colorful phrases and somehow coax a coalition of the willing to keep it all going.

The editor thanks everyone for the cards and letters and tasty edibles and homemade treats, and for whatever well-wishes await in the mountain of emails that he can’t yet read. A few at a time, we are starting to read them to him (there are over 3,900 there, waiting!)
