This Sunday, June 24, 2007, in celebration of Gay Pride Sunday in New York, Mark de Solla Price will be speaking on "Pride, Diversity and Assimilation" looking at the importance of celebrating our differences and embracing our similarity as one community.


As those of you who have been following along Mark's medical treatments will understand, this is his one and only live personal speaking appearance in 2007 (my year on Pegasys/Ribavirin) but Mark's speech will be simultaneously published on Mark's HIV Blog Blog at blogs.poz.com/mark


But if you're not there live, you miss all the fun and terrific performances (by Jonathan Long with Gerald Brown, musical director)


“I Am What I Am” from “La Cage aux Folles” Music & Lyrics: Jerry Herman (1933-)
“Before The Parade Passes By" from “Hello, Dolly!” Music & Lyrics: Jerry Herman (1933 -)
"Don't Fence Me In" from “Hollywood Canteen 1943” Music & Lyrics by Cole Porter (1891 –1964)


Hope to see you there!

( Thank You, Singers and Saints Blog ) Personnel: Abbey Lincoln (vocals); Jackie McLean (alto saxophone); Clark Terry (trumpet); Alain Jean-Marie (piano); Charlie Haden (bass); Billy Higgins (drums).
