Hey everyone involved with the Michael Shenker memorial installation of the
"Fresh Greens" street band,

Thanks so so much! Yow, it turned out great - a perfect example of music serving
a community that was very appreciated. Environmental Encroachment, Hungry March,
Veveritse, RMO and Minor Mishap was represented. JR's arrangement of Michael's
song was extremely poignant and perfectly timed. A fitting send off to a well
loved member of NYC Lower East Side revolutionary community.
