Hey Reg!

That bit about you saying you wouldn't pay $3,000 to see a MADONNA concert, even if it included a backstage pass and SEX with the fading legend --- that was simply hilarious!

Thank you for making me laugh first thing this morning . . . :)

Also --- I agree 1,000% with your comments that the best place to see anyone right now is in a SMALL CLUB.

We in Buffalo, New York have a wonderful club that seats about 500 or so people --- it is called THE TRALF --- named after a site from a KURT VONNEGUT novel.

I have been to this place many times over the years --- such as to see people like PIERRE BENSUSAN --- who is one of the most amazing guitar players I have ever seen in my entire life!

Here is the website for this local treasure:

Here is the TRALF events calendar --- here you can see that some pretty amazing artists and bands play at this venue:

Here you can see a photo of the inside of this amazing club --- and there is also a listing of their in-house tech --- which is a top shelf sound and lighting system:

Here is PIERRE BENSUSAN's website:

Incidentally --- my best friend (the father of BUFFALO IDOL Marc Scibilia) is really close friends with Pierre --- so whenever he is in town --- we get to hang out. Pierre is a remarkable man --- in every sense of the word!

If anyone is interested --- you can hear Pierre's music on iTunes.

P.S. - Here is the website for Marc Scibilia --- if you click on Marc's Music --- you can hear a clip of his radio single YOUR LOVE. This song is currently being played on local radio station WKSE KISS 98.5 FM:
