Except for the weather, it's been a very fine spring for the Dog. Ice in Syracuse, serious cold in other places - hey, we're Californians - but that hasn't seemed to affect the playing, to put it mildly. The Beacon has been rockin'.

We had a special visit (see the photos at ____) Friday night in New York City, when an old friend, Andre Schiff, popped up at the backstage door. Andre was a stagehand working with Candace Brightman

on many G.D. shows, and now teaches at Simon's Rock College in the Berkshires. He had in tow nine students of lighting design with tickets for the show, and wondered if our esteemed lighting designer, Patrick "Groove" Pirrone, might have a word for them. No problem! Groove taught class before the show started and had students in pairs coming down during the show to look over his shoulder. Big fun for him and lots of information and inspiration for all concerned.

Saturday night brought us our dear friend Donna Jean Godchaux Mackay and a very special visit from Jerry Jemmott, former bass player for Aretha Franklin. If you thought Robin's cool English demeanor looked a little - excited - you were right...

Off to New England!
