HERE & THERE
I can't believe it is November already! It seems like life is rushing
as fast as it can towards 2008. It will hit a small speed bump early
Sunday morning when we turn out clocks back one hour to Standard Time.
It means an extra hour sleep - which about this time I could really
use! Tow says in a row I was up at 6:00 am - yesterday to work on
a special project and still have time to do my laundry and grocery
shopping, and today to work on the newsletter.
I tried to get to bed early last night (read "before
midnight") and just made one short foray into midtown and pick up
my mail, and then a quick trip (or so I planned) to celebrate Halloween
with Daniel out in Queens. I started my return to Manhattan around
10:00 pm and neglected to figure in the fact that the annual Halloween
Parade in Manhattan was marching UPTOWN on Sixth Avenue - to about
21st Street (no wonder THE METROPOLITAN ROOM was dark last night
- they are on 22nd Street just off Sixth). My normal route back
is the "F" train which leaves me at Sixth Avenue and 14th Street,
where I catch a #14 bus that drops me off nearly in front of my
apartment house on 10th Street & Avenue "C." I was forced to leave
the subway station west of Sixth Avenue and walk west to 7th Avenue
to catch the eastbound bus. I was chaos everywhere. I had to squeeze
behind the crowd along the buildings to get to Seventh, where about
50 people were already waiting for the #14 bus! I got home in a
frazzle, at nearly 11:30 pm (normally a 41 minute trip from Jackson
Heights to my front door) and had to watch a few episodes of Law
& Order to calm me down.
New York City is an exciting place to live if you
plan ahead. I could have taken the "L" subway that runs under 14th
Street from Sixth Avenue to First Avenue and walked the 3 or 4 blocks
to home (or catch the same #14 bus for the last segment of the journey)
but I assumed the parade went DOWNTOWN and it would be long gone
from the 14th Street area by 10:30 pm.
Observations from the bus ride: In 500 years or so (if we don't cook
ourselves to death before then) humans will have very small thumbs
- but very flexible and quick ones. There were 7 or 8 people on the
long bus ride last night typing furiously with just their thumbs on
teeny tiny little keyboards on their cell phones. Oh, and by then
we will all need hearing aids - there were another 3 or 4 wearing
earphones connected to MP3 players, and I could hear the music from
all of them! How loud must it have been for them?
Congratulations to Kate Lotte, who after a 30 year hiatus from the
stage was just cast in "A Wonderful Life," the Harnick/Raposo musical
based on the Jimmy Stewart movie, at the JOHN ENGEMAN THEATER in Northport,
LI. She'll be playing George Bailey's mother-in-law and the show runs
from November 29th through December 30th. Kate's new cabaret show,
"Vagabond," will debut in January at THE DUPLEX.
I hardly remember Gregory Dawson - it has been many years since I
met him. He passed away Sunday, October 21st, of liver failure at
New York Hospital. Mr. Dawson was 73. He was a co-founder of MAC (Manhattan
Association of Clubs & Cabarets) and longtime impresario at the legendary
New York cabaret, THE BALLROOM. Greg Dawson hailed from Winnetka,
IL and came to NYC immediately following his graduation from Yale
University in 1955. His first job was as a talent coordinator for
the "Tex and Jinx" radio show on WOR. His next job was as Special
Events Director at the 1964 World's Fair, under Robert Moses. In the
early 1970's, Dawson co-managed The Ballroom in Soho before moving
it to Chelsea, where it became a leading nightclub, headlining some
of the biggest stars in the popular music field, including Peggy Lee,
Patti Page, Rosemary Clooney, Margaret Whiting, Eartha Kitt, Martha
Ray, Larry Adler, Jack Jones, Estelle Parsons, Charles Pierce, Helen
Schneider, Jo Sullivan Loesser, Blossom Dearie, and Johnnie Ray. The
Ballroom also ushered in new careers, including those of Jane Olivor,
Mary Cleere Haran and Baby Jane Dexter. His uncle was the American
abstract pioneer, Manierre Dawson.
Greg had been painting and sculpting his entire adult
life and for the past dozen years since he left the cabaret scene,
he has devoted himself full time to creating a large body of work,
well over a thousand paintings and some 250 sculptures and wall
pieces. His paintings were primarily done in watercolor and acrylic,
and the sculptures are constructions in wood and a variety of other
materials. Some of the sculptures have been cast in bronze, utracal
and epoxy. Recently he had explored areas of architectural design
elements, producing several friezes and a series of 24 knobs that
can be produced in any number of materials, including the whole
array of casting metals. He has also received several commissions
for some monumental outdoor sculptures and large murals. Greg Dawson
is survived by his sister Hillary Schlesinger.
There will be a memorial for Gregory Dawson on Greg
on Sunday November 18th 3:00 pm at THE YALE CLUB (50 Vanderbilt
Avenue, NYC - alongside Grand Central Station). Open to the public.
By the way, the last interview that Mr. Dawson gave before his death
was for John Hoglund for John's AFTER DARK column on the CABARET HOTLINE
ONLINE website regarding the death of another cabaret pioneer, John
Wallowitch. There should be a new AFTER DARK column coming this weekend
for the website.
We're still looking for sponsors for both John's AFTER DARK section
and Carla Gordon's HEARTLAND CABARET section on the website. Sponsorship
is via special exclusive SUPER SIDE-BAR ads on these pages. Click
on the button marked BANNER INFO at the top of every page on the website
for details. Proceeds from the ads go to support these sections.
Have a Christmas Holiday CD for sale? Every year we post a page showing
the CD covers of holiday CDs with a link to where they can be purchased.
I put up last year's HOLIDAY CD page as a start - please check it
out. If your HOLIDAY-THEMED CD isn't shown, send me an e-mail and
we will add it. And if your CD is shown but is no longer available
or has been reissued with a different cover (these things happen)
let me know as well. The link to the page is on the front or home
page on the website. This is a free listing - you don't need to be
a member of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE to be included (but that sure would
be nice).
Speaking of memberships, we didn't make it to 400 members by the official
deadline of October 31st - we are 12 members shy (including 4 memberships
that I know are in the mail) of 400. I announced this on the message
board last night and got a pledge from a current member for a donation
of $200 to purchase 10 memberships if we reach 190 members - and we
could assign those memberships to anyone we wished. There may be a
few more in the mail not received yet and I won't get to the mailbox
until 5:00 pm, but if there are 2 more memberships there than expected
(or if two come in via PayPal today), the offer is good. If you can't
afford a membership this year - or at least at this time - let me
know. It may not happen, but get your name in anyway. Else I will
award the memberships to charter members who have not rejoined yet
this year.
For those coming to NYC for the CABARET CONVENTION which starts on
Monday night at FREDERICK P. ROSE HALL (Columbus Circle, Broadway
at 60th Street, NYC - CenterCharge: 212-721-6500 - http://www.jazzatlincolncenter.org/
), check out the club schedules (and the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE Diary)
for shows to catch after the convention shows or on those nights where
you don't have tickets to the MABEL MERCER events. Many rooms have
delayed their second shows to start at 10:00 or 10:30 pm to accommodate
convention attendees. Just keep in mind that cab fares have risen
considerably since last year's convention - and while it is possible
and advisable to use mass transportation, for some parts of town you
may need to transfer once or twice along the way. While the subways
these days are safe (less crime actually than above ground) and clean,
they are also confusing. Plan ahead.
I am jumping ahead of the official press release, due on Monday I
am told, but plans are nearly complete and the opening is coming soon
for the cabaret triplex, THE BROADWAY BABY BISTRO & PIANO LOUNGE at
THE BROADWAY COMEDY CLUB (318 West 53rd Street, NYC - 212-757-5808
- http://www.broadwaybabybistro.com/ ) - this is between Eighth
& Ninth Avenues. I have a meeting/interview scheduled there tonight
(no SETH RUDETSKY CHATTERBOX tonight) at 6:00 pm to get a tour of
the club(s) and meet Al Martin, the owner, as well as booking manager
Donald Schaffer and consultant John Hoglund (I know those two anyway).
I am also going to try to sell them some ads as well. I'll give you
a full report in the Monday issue. The club will open with the return
of OUR SINATRA with previews starting on Friday November 16th and
official opening on Thanksgiving weekend, Friday the 23rd of November.
More details on this on Monday as well. Check out the website (http://www.broadwaybabybistro.com/
) for a partial schedule already in place.
Here's an interesting "sidebar" on the above. Several weeks ago I
got an e-mail from Al Martin asking if he could take out a "classified
ad" to find someone to manage a cabaret space he was developing. I
explained that we don't have "classified ads" per se (we actually
tried this once in the print editions many years ago), but that he
was free to post something on the CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE message board.
He listed his phone number, and that's how Al met John met Donald.
If fact in less than a week Al begged me to remove the item from the
message board - his phone never stopped ringing. So I am preparing
a new ad campaign - featuring Donald and John, that will read "I Found
My Job On CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE."
Whew - I just realized it is 1:30 pm - an hour later than usual for
sending out the newsletter. Craig Coursey, who always reads the newsletter
while at lunch to see if I have included his name, must be starving.
So off it goes.
More news on Monday.
NOW FOR SOME NEWS ABOUT CABARET SHOWS AND STUFF
In an effort to cut down on "repeated" events, except for announcements
of programs offered by cabaret membership organizations, and shows
where guests change regularly, cabaret news items will usually appear
just once in the newsletter in abbreviated form, in chronological
order where possible, and linked to a full article on the CABARET
NEWS page of the appropriate location on the website.

A HOLIDAY CABARET IN CHICAGO DECEMBER 3rd
Save the date - if you are in the Chicago area - Monday, December
3rd. Thanks when CCP (Chicago Cabaret Professionals - http://www.chicagocabaret.org/
) will hold their 9th annual "A Holiday Cabaret" at 7:30 pm at DAVENPORT'S
(1383 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, IL - 773-278-1830 - http://www.davenportspianobar.com/
). The show will benefit Teen Living Programs and Save The Children.
There was a time when cabaret organizations all over - including Australia
- held this annual event on behalf of children's' support programs,
but little by little interest waned (especially here in NYC after
9-11). I believe that CABARET WEST (http://www.cabaretwest.org/
) also continues this annual tradition. More details are coming.
REMINDER REGARDING CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE DISCOUNTS
To be eligible for a listing on the MEMBER DEALS page you must send
in your flier, press release and/or other promotional materials clearly
showing the discount offer. That information will be used as the basis
for the MEMBER DEALS page notice, as well as for the newsletter listing.
Please be sure to check with the venue where you are performing to
be sure that these discounts will be honored. Any member who is denied
a properly listed CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE discount should notify me
at once. I cannot guarantee that the discount will be honored, but
I can take steps to contact the parties involved and publish the facts
in the newsletter and remove the listing from the MEMBER DEALS page.
ABOUT CABARET NEWS IN THE NEWSLETTER AND ON THE WEBSITE
How do you get an item posted in the CABARET NEWS section of the CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE website and in the newsletter? It is really quite simple.
Just e-mail me a press release of at least four or
five paragraphs, giving the complete information on your show, CD
release or other cabaret related event. Include photos in jpg or
gif format if available. Please send me complete information - and
do not merely e-mail me a copy of your flier or a reference to a
website. By the way, I usually trim quotes from reviews from the
press releases I receive before using the item on my website or
in the newsletter, so don't count them when putting together the
four or more paragraphs. If you don't have a press release, just
click here: http://www.svhamstra.com/PressRelease1.shtml
and fill out the information as completely as possible - or use
the items asked for as a guide to the information I need.
Just send in your press release or listings request
in simple txt format if possible (the format I write these issues
in and use for the website), and send any photos as attachments,
not imbedded within the e-mail. And, please, please don't send,
instead of a press release, one of those e-mails with all those
annoying html links (with multi-columns, embedded photos, distracting
backgrounds, etc.) Do not send simply a .jpg of your post card.
Do not send us one of those "e-vite" things that require us to "click
to open" and lead to a web page somewhere. I never open them! The
more information the better - it is easier for me to trim the release
than to hunt and google websites for more information.
We usually run articles about 3 weeks before event
date if possible so it is wisest to send your release about 4 weeks
in advance. Because of the large number of items received, we can
only use news of event just once, so we try not to get too far ahead
in the news. There are a few exceptions to the "just once" rule:
++ If the event is advertised on the website it will
be repeated in each MONDAY issue of the newsletter
++ If the event offers a discount to members of CABARET
HOTLINE ONLINE it will be included in the DISCOUNTS section of each
MID-WEEK issue of the newsletter.
++ Major benefits where ALL proceeds are given to
the charity named will be mentioned in every issue as well as major
cabaret events like cabaret festivals and galas.
++ We also include at least once each week those regular
(monthly, weekly, etc.) events with guests who change each performance,
like SETH'S BROADWAY CHATTERBOX, BOB EGAN'S MONDAY SHOWCASE and
the like.
IT'S TIME TO GO
Near the top of this newsletter I promised that you would read things
in this issue you will not find published anywhere else. Did I keep
my promise?
I realize that there is probably far more information here than you
might be able to digest in one reading, but please keep in mind that
for the performers mentioned, CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE is one of the
few publications that spread the word about their shows and performances.
To them, that item about their show is most important, and the fact
that every issue published is also posted on my website means another
place where they can be found by fans and search engines (Google,
etc.) alike.
