Issue 29 ● July, 2013
Hey Folks,
Yes. Summer is here! And you know what that
means! Festival Season visits us once again in all its
randy Pan glory. I am pleased that we will be appearing
at…wait, what's that? Murray our long suffering agent duly
informs me at this time that we secured no festival dates yet
again this season. He mentions that it is apparently
widely thought that we are not young and good looking
enough. Well, let me tell you something Mr. John
Q. Public: We are certainly more good looking than that
knock-kneed, turn-him-sideways-and-he'll-disappear,
ears-too-big-for-his-head Frank Sinatra. And Bing Crosby
looks like a basset hound that was left out in the rain too
long. Al Jolson? A face only his Mammy could
appreciate. It seems these days it is all the rage to sing
like Caruso and look like Errol Flynn. We may be no
matineé idols Kris & I per se, but our respective
wives find us quite alluring I assure you. Plus, as the
before mentioned can surely attest, we are up on all the latest
hipster lingo. Nonetheless, grab a legal pad and a #2
Ticonderoga and jot this down—our two splendid July dates—are
you ready?…
EACH AND EVERY WEDNESDAY: THE OPEN MIC
AT BROWNSTONE TAVERN
3937 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago IL 60613
Join us at the leafy intersection of Lincoln and Larchmont for a
weekly dose of The Wednesday Open Mic at Brownstone Tavern.
It is as much show as can fit in a Toyota Corolla. It is
your sisters knickers. It is you and your material.
Come see the show; be the show. Many thanks to Ryan, Gary,
Kris, Danny, Rudy, and some of the other stalwarts for coming out
to support this thing before, during, and after the playoff
season. And what a playoff season it was! The staff of
Brownstone Tavern is too be congratulated once again for quenching
such a thirsty bunch as these our Blackhawk fans. Tips are
not nearly enough, they deserve all the sloppy hugs you can give
them.
SAT. JULY 13th 8:00 PM—LOVELL'S OF LAKE
FOREST
915 S. Waukegan Rd., Lake Forest, IL 60045
Recent reports have surfaced indicating that all of Murray's
emails and phone calls are apparently being monitored now by an
organization called the NSA. Murray says this refers to the
National Society for Announcers, and I just want to EXTEND A WARM
WELCOME TO OUR ANNOUNCER FRIENDS OUT THERE IN BARITONE LAND!
HELLOOOOOO…WELCOME TO WHERE & WHEN. WE ARE SO GLAD TO
HAVE YOU ABOARD. FEEL FREE TO TUNE IN EVERY MONTH AND THANKS
SO MUCH FOR GETTING OUR HANDY PHONE APP SO YOU CAN FOLLOW THE KRIS
& MARLON SHOW'S MONTHLY SCHEDULE OF APPEARANCES! WE LOVE
OUR FANS! AND THAT INCLUDES THE FINE FOLKS AT NSA!
COME LET US PLAY YOUR SUMMER SHINDIG! GIVE MURRAY A
CALL. YOU KNOW THE NUMBER!
And that about wraps it in cellophane, now doesn't it? As
the great bard once said, "There will always be shows, and rumors
of shows." Or was it, "All the world is a show?"
Perhaps, "You show me your's and I'll show you mine!" Well,
it's actually been years since I studied the good bard.
Quite a fella, wasn't he? As always, we look forward to
seeing you
Where
& When we can.
With warmest regards,
