Dear Friends,

For all you Asturian Bagpipe Lovers out there... Good News!
Bagpipe Master and Artisan Vicente Prado Suárez, "El Pravianu"
will be performing for the first time in New York this month of May
2004.

It is a rare opportunity for all in the area to enjoy the talent of
this outstanding bagpipe musician. "El Pravianu" is also a well
known artisan who has been making Asturian Bagpipes of excellent
quality for many years, and this might be the long waited chance to
purchase one. Arrangements must be made in advance if you want him
to bring the instrument with him to this New York visit. He will
also be available after the concert to answer questions and chat with
those who attend, and will bring with him copies of his CDs for sale.

"El Pravianu" has also been an Asturian Stand-Up Comedy artist for
many years, and those who attend will enjoy his jokes as part of his
presentation.

The organizers tell me that there will be tickets at the door, and that parking should be easy to find on the street.

I'm thinking of going. Anyone else going?

Los organizadores me dice que se puede comprar las entradas en la puerta, y que se puede aparcar en la calle gratis sin problema.

Pienso de asistir. ¿Va también alguien más?
