OUR MISTAKE
In the April WholeNote we listed a Concentus Arts
recital by Lucy Carrick-Wedel, soprano, to be held at
St. Lukes United, 7:30pm, April 8. So far so good, but,
er ... well ... that was April 8 1995, actually---six months
before Pulse/WholeNote went into publication. For
those who showed up a little late, we apologize!
