Writer Peter S. Beagle Does Song

I got this is email. I'll leave off the blockquote for clarity.

SPECIAL LIVE MUSIC SHOW FOR TWO NIGHTS ONLY!

On July 18th & 19th, Peter S. Beagle and Phil Sigunick will be performing together in public for the first time in 44 years.

(That's right — more than four decades. Their last gig as a duo was all the way back in 1964, when they opened for Tom Paxton at a club in Berkeley, California.)

These two special shows will take place at the Red Eft Gallery in Wurtsboro, New York, just 75 miles northwest of New York City...

...and there are only 83 seats available for each night.

Tickets are $20, and with so few seats they should go fast. If you want to be there for this rare musical treat, make sure you get your reservation in ASAP by either (1) emailing contact@conlanpress.com or (2) calling us at 415-731-2267. And please make sure you tell us which night you prefer!

There will be wine and cheese and what-nots before each show, and a chance to get books signed and hang around with Peter and Phil for a good while afterward.

Fans of Peter's classic travel memoir, I See By My Outfit, will absolutely not want to miss this chance to be there when Phil and Peter pick up their guitars and recapture the magic that helped make their long-ago cross-country journey so extraordinary.

-- end of quoting

There's a Compact Disc of a lost tape of the two from way back in 1962.


Recorded by Bob Jacobs in a bedroom in the Bronx on June 14th, 1962. Digital transfer & processing in 2007 by GT Recording and Jim Lively. Cover painting of Phil and Peter, age 23, by Peter's famous artist uncle, Moses Soyer.
