Just a reminder that I will be moving to Florida on July 5th. Come see me play while I am still here. I do hope to return once in awhile to my former home, but who knows when that'll happen. I'm gonna miss New York as much as I am going to like south east Florida.

Where: www.villageconnectionradio.com
For two hours you can hear and see Evan Ginzburg interview, interrogate, grill, and possibly waterboard Robert Ross from 11am to 1pm EST on internet radio. One of the things we may discuss is why it’s called “radio” if the show can actually be SEEN. Anyway, it’s LIVE and anything can happen, and probably will. Robert Ross is a two time NY Music Award winner & NY Blues Hall of Fame inductee, and a vocalist, guitarist, slide guitarist, & harmonica player. Evan Ginzburg is a radio & tv host, film producer, writer, actor, wrestling aficionado, teacher, and all around GREAT guy. Just navigate to: VillageConnectionRadio.com to view the show.
