ON THE ROAD/SHANNON HICKS

The next WPKN-sponsored concert coming to Newtown will be by the always

wonderful story-telling singer GREG BROWN. (Can you tell I'm a fan?) Brown,

with his stories and guitar in tow, will be at the Edmond Town Hall

auditorium, 45 Main Street in Newtown, on Thursday, November 12. The concert

will begin at 8 pm.

If you want to take your chance, tickets will be available at the door.

However, considering the popularity of this performer, it might not be a bad

idea to head to Grand Union's Customer Service desk -- the store is on Queen

Street and Church Hill Road in Newtown -- and buy your $15 tickets in advance.

Tickets are on sale, finally, this Saturday (Oct 10) for PHISH at the New

Haven Coliseum. The show marks a move by the band from its traditional

November show at the Hartford Civic Center to a smaller venue that's been very

quiet this year.

On the same night, across town, the band's lyricist, DUDE OF LIFE, will be

performing at Toad's Place. Either for those who want to continue the sounds

of the Phish show that will be concluded earlier at the coliseum than the club

show will end, or for those who were unable to get tickets for the Phish show

but want a taste of some similar sounds.

AIDS Project Greater Danbury is sponsoring its 9th annual Walk For Life next

Sunday at the CityCenter Green in Danbury next Sunday (Oct 18). The

10-kilometer walk (or its shorter, 1.5-mile version for weaklings like me...)

is a fundraiser for the support organization for people living with AIDS/HIV

and their families in the greater Danbury region. The reason for the mention

of the event here is that in addition to the walk itself, organizers are

planning events on the green that will include a broadcast by radio station

98Q as well as live performances by the Danbury band FUTURE TENSE.

Registration begins at 8:30 am, and the walk will start at 9:30. For

additional information, contact APGD at 778-2437.

Until next week, I'll be seeing you... on the road.
