Letter from Neil to Agnieszka about The Debutante Hour

Dear Agnieszka,
Hope this note finds you and your son in good health and happy. And especially that you are happy because your art work is selling well enough to earn a living at it.
Another artist I am friendly with who hopes to earn a living at her art is the Korean-American singer-songwriter Susan Hwang, who lives near me in Brooklyn. Susan has a day job that pays the bills while she performs at night --very well--whenever she can. Anyway, I just now got an email from Susan that she will be performing with her wonderful band The Debutante Hour TONIGHT, Wednesday, in Krakow. I know that this is last minute, and that Krakow is not Warsaw, that they are some 250 kilometers apart. But maybe by some miracle you just happen to be in Krakow or decide you want to go there. The Debutante Hour is a wonderful cabaret band led by Susan and her good friend Maria Sonevytsky. Maria is a Ukrainian-American who is spending a year in her ancestral homeland doing the research for her Ph.D in ethnomusicology. Their songs are very clever and very funny. It is well worth paying attention to hear their words. I am copying below a description of a performance I recommended in January, before Maria left NYC for her music research in Ukraine. I can assure you that if you go to hear them you will smile a lot and have fun, so bring friends and let them enjoy them also! And if you do go hear them, by all means, introduce yourself to Susan, who is a friendly person and would be ecstatic to meet someone I sent to see her at a performance in Europe.
I see that they are also performing June 13 in Lviv, which used to be in Poland but now is in Ukraine.
With every good wish. And hoping there will be other opportunities to see each other face to face.
