Hi all,

I'll be up in New York next week (Monday through Thurs), wondering if anyone had any leads on anyone interesting playing around town?

It's been a few years, I'm planning on hitting up the usual spots, (a couple of the bartenders at Smalls probably still recognize me),any and all suggestions are appreciated!

Also, any interesting instrument shops in town these days? The odds are next to (but never quite) zero that I'd buy anything, but it's always fun to window shop.

thanks!

Jim
