In popular folklore, the name "Big Apple' is usually traced to early jazz musicians . Often, the explanation of the so-called "origin" of this phrase is accompanied with plausible-sounding historical details, giving it an unmistakable (but alas, totally spurious) "ring of truth." This question continues to excite curiosity....

Come out and Rock the Big Apple on Friday April 18th, with Nancy Danino (www.myspace.com/nancydanino1) and her band who entertain with Jazz and R&B influenced originals and covers. Having already made a name for herself in Europe, be one of the first in the U.S. to discover her incredible stylings.

Venue: Silver Swan, 41 East 20th Street, btw Broadway and Park.
Time: 9pm
 

Saturday April 19th

We have the VIP Lounge reserved at Obivia (201 Lafayette Street near Broome Street) which has a great DJ on Sat nights so come out for a great night with fellow alumni and feel free to bring friends.

Special for us VIPs: 1/2 off drinks 9pm-10pm so get there early!

Please rsvp so that we can get an accurate count and indicate if you are in for Friday and/or Saturday by answering the poll questions in your response.

Looking forward to seeing you there,
The Organizing Committee (Rickesh, Ripun, and Rima)
