I do hope that all who read this attend my birthday show, January 3, 9 pm, at the Jalopy Theater.  To mark the occasion, I will present a program of my songs and instrumental music; joining me will be David Gold on viola, Ralph Hamperian on Tuba, and Doug Roesch on guitar.

There is a review of my translation of How I Became an Idiot, by “Francisque Sarcey” (that is, Alphonse Allais, writing under the name of a notoriously reactionary theater critic), over here.

For those of you who missed my reading from my translation of Allais’s Captain Cap, videos have been posted here and here.

And if you didn’t get a copy of Cap in your stocking, you can order one from Amazon, or pick up a copy at Spoonbill and Sugartown, in Williamsburg.
