My Dearest David,
As you know, we spoke in the late afternoon when you confirmed that you'd be in attendance. As the evening wore on, we were all truly concerned that something untoward had happened to you on the way to your 'opening.' As Mynoon reminded us, that after having read the 'review' of your rehearsals, and your family, employees and dog deserting you, that 'all's well that ends well,' and fortune might have smiled in sparing us your debut. [Nonetheless, I still do love you!] So, you see, we did enjoy your presence, if only in the metaphysical sense.
Underlying the humor, banter, and fun times, you are known to me to be the proverbial gentleman and scholar, in addition to a sincere and steadfast friend, which accounts for this, your most gracious (and public) apology.
Your presence is always a grace at my table, and I look forward with great anticipation to the next time we share company.
Keep well . . .
Warmest Regards,
Lorraine

My sincere apologies to Lorraine Walla the GC of GANG and Gothamites everywhere for not making the March GANG meeting. It was my intention to be there I even cancelled some things but time ran out.
I want to make it clear that it was not cold feet or stage freight. If anything it should have been the audience that was scared. You see my singing sounds exactly like a cat being strangled. It was also my intention to sign the song, not only to direct attention away from my singing but more importantly offend the deaf also. Why not? II's all in the name of a good time.
If none of you has made it to a GANG meeting, make it a point. Always good food and friends.
All the Best,
David Stein
Queens Group Chair
