I had a great time at the Brooklyn Museum for Target First Saturdays in March.

Grupo Saveiro was excellent and the crowd was festive!

Guess what? Yours truly will be spinning the Best Disco/Funk/Soul from the 1970's on April 1, 2006 for Target First Saturdays Dance Party from 9pm-11pm.

I hope to see you there!
