Oh, yeah, Frank, I forgot to say, the drinks are on me.

Dear Frank,
Listening to Soundcheck, I recognized your voice then your name...And I have fond memories of that Bloom's Day On Broadway Marathon back in 1987 ~ when I rushed home to my apartment to record that evening's performance.
Switching on the radio, setting up the cassettes, I settled down with ULYSSES and just happened to open the book to the exact page where you performers were waiting to begin the Cyclops episode. What a wonderful reading it was, and such luck to have it.
Sincerely,
Vic Offray
P.S.
Meet me round the corner at Barney Kearnan's ~
We'll lift a few pints, and pay our respects to the Citizen.
Please tell Frank I know a simple thing he can do - developed by an engineer at Stanford - it's a form of acupuncture - the website is called emofree.com - people are getting amazing results to boost healing and there are no side effects. You just tap on certain meridians. Thanks
