Hi Steve,

Hennig is doing well in the Baltimore - DC area. He gigs a lot there.  
He is now divorced and that threw him for a while but he still plays  
like a dream.

I too paid some dues at Phillips with Jay Wachter et al. It is exactly  
58 miles from my farm. I remember the bar pianists, but not their  
names, with whom we would jam after completing our table rounds. Very  
possibly I jammed with you on occasion. I played there off and on from  
1994 till about 4 of years ago, subbing for Hennig when he couldn't  
make it. A favor to Jay because he was giving me a lot of party work  
in Maryland.

I last spoke with Hennig a year or so ago and am on his "joke" list  
which he sends out to friends. I don't have his e- mail address in my  
book, but know his is on my "non-spam" list because I receive mail  
from him. Next one I get, I will forward his address to you.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
