Hello to the Paper Bag audience, a very large group of loons who gather once a year at Mulcahy's for our annual ritual and tribal dance. The advertising budget for the Paper Bag is $0. We don't advertise. Everybody who shows up for the show already knows about it. That would be you people. Besides, if we did advertise and draw more people, where would we put them?

Paper Bag #42 the 1969 Edition is coming.

Yes we are having Mr. Peabody and Sherman set the Way-Back Machine to 50 years in the past. For your perusal

1969 -Woodstock, the Man on the Moon, the Mets and a boatload of really great albums. Makes for a great song list. Then of course we have the Body Bag. This year we are honoring:

• Aretha Franklin
• Dr John - the Night Tripper
• Matt Guitar Murphy
• Captain Daryl Dragon
• Dick Dale (King of the Surf Guitars)
• Hugh Masekela
• Marty Balin
• Peter Tork
• Ray Sawyer (Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show / Lynyrd Skynyrd)
• Geoff Emrick (Beatles sound engineer)
• Joe Osborne and Hal Blaine from the Wrecking Crew

Dave the Rave Franklin, Section Leader for the Vocal Section, and I had a very productive meeting the other night over a plate of Mrs. Guidos spaghetti, sausages and salad. We have gone over the song list in its present state. Preparations are ramping up.
