ED PALERMO'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

a message from Ed Palermo, who celebrated his birthday with a concert at The Falcon:

SOMEONE LEFT MY CAKE OUT IN THE RAIN! You would cry, too, if it happened to you. On my birthday, no less! Thank you, Nina Hennessey for consoling me in front of two sold out shows at the Falcon or as I now call it, "The Church of Tony Falco".
