THE BLACK SWAN SOCIE

June 19, 2009
This site was down for a week or two. I was unaware of this as for the past month my attentions were focused on some issues resulting from the high speed broadsiding my car and I took on May 18th. The site came up for renewal two weeks ago and I was not paying attention. It's back up and the hosting fee has been paid for the next two years. This site, Black Swan and I aren't going anywhere.
The only thing left to do for the first three DVDs of the 2008 show is the graphics for the case and label. The first DVD goes to the manufacturer on June 22nd.
Thanks for your great patience. Rest assured I haven't "left the country".

The 2008 BURLINGTON Concert
was an unqualified success
I really don' t know how to describe it! The most accurate statement that has been made is that "you had to be there!". In 40 years of producing concerts the only concert that I've produced that had similar elements of the unexpected and unknown resulting in excellent and sometimes extraordinary performances was that concert I produced in 1983 -
the 1983 BURLINGTON CONCERT.
Thanks to so many folks who made it happen - especially Bobby Diskin, Charlie and Pam Horner, Frank Chille, Val Shively, Todd Baptista, Terry Stewart, Joe Loud and also the deejays and folks in the business who worked hard to promote it - Lou Rallo, Christine Vitale, Gordon Skadberg, Frank Gengaro, Dennis Burgey, George Frunzi, Jim Santa Barbara, Rockin' Richard, Carl Tancredi, Lee Jolles, Jim Bakay, Fred Bohn, Steve Applebaum, Bruce Woolf, Ken Fuchs, Sal Ardigliano, Marvin Kaminsky, Andrea Seigel, Barry Rosen, Eddie Natale ... I've missed some folks but I'll rectify it soon.
Thanks so much to all the folks who helped to make this work and to those trusting folks who paid a lot of money for the tickets.
As one guy said during intermission of the show, "I just got my $200 worth". And after the show he said, "That show was worth $500."
Thanks
