I'm giving you a few days notice on this.  John Fogerty, who usually
plays arenas for big bucks will be playing Pier 17 at The South Street
Seaport for free this coming Wednesday, September 2, at 7pm.

As you probably know, John was the leader of Creedence Clearwater
Revival back then, and has also written one of the best ever songs
about baseball, Centerfield.  He has a new country tinged album due out
tomorrow, with the grammatically incorrect title of The Blue Ridge
Rangers Rides Again.  I've had a chance to listen to that album and
it's flat out a lot of fun.

That album consists mostly of covers, with only one Forgerty song. 
Among the songs are Rick Nelson's Garden Party (with Don Hendley and
Timothy B. Schmidt of the Eagles) and When Will I Be Loved with Bruce
Springsteen singing backup.

While I doubt Bruce will show (although you never know with him),
plenty of other of your fellow New Yorkers will probably crowd onto
Pier 17, so if you are planning to go see John, get there early.

John Fogerty, Pier 17 at The South Street Seaport, A or C Trains to
Broadway-Nassau or 2 or 3 Trains to Fulton Street (exit at Fulton
Street and walk east to Pier 17), 7pm, free.
