RIP Danny...


(Springsteen, Federeci, Bittan in Danny's last performance)

DANNY FEDERICI, 1950 - 2008
Danny Federici, the E Street Band's organist and keyboard player since its inception, died this afternoon, April 17, 2008 at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City after a three-year battle with melanoma.
The Federici family and the E Street family request that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Danny Federici Melanoma Fund; more details on the Fund will be forthcoming.
The Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concerts scheduled for Friday in Ft. Lauderdale and Saturday in Orlando are being postponed. Replacement dates will be announced shortly.
We extend our deepest sympathies to Danny's family, friends, bandmates, and blood brothers; we here at Backstreets, and surely all those fans touched by his spirit, mourn with you.
God Speed, Danny. We'll miss you...

"If you see a painted sign..."


TONIGHT through 4/12! BCTC's Theatre program presents THE BOYS NEXT DOOR @ 8pm at the DAC. Tickets are $7 for students and $12 for General Admission.
A little about the play:
About The Boys Next Door:
The scenes takes place in a communal residence where four mentally handicapped men live under the supervision of a young “burned out” social worker. The play is mingled with scenes from the daily lives of these four, where “little things” sometimes become momentous, and often very funny moments of great poignancy. This touching show moves the audience to an awareness of how many things in everyday life we take for granted.
The cast includes Jeremy Gillett ( AGL's MA RAINEY and BCTC's Blessed Assurance) Leif Rigney and Zach Moseley (BCTC's THOREAU), Erica House (BCTC's WORKING) and newcomer Kevin Greer. We are very excited about this production. I know there's a lot going on, but if you can make time to come check us out, we'd appreciate it!
Feel free to take up valuable bandwidth with various leg-breaking sentiments.
