Dear -

OK, so it's been a while. Issues like the MartiniVision meltdown, the crash of our website, Mother Miriam's broken ankle, some changes in staff, resources and workload, and a pretty lousy job of stress management led to our notes being a little less regular than we'd like. But here's to a fresh start and our being in better contact.

There's a lot going on at Martini in the Morning, and as much as we want to share with you, this is an opportunity for you to "Share with the Class ..." Over the upcoming holidays, we'd love to share your Martini in the Morning stories - how you use Martini in the Morning, how you listen, where you listen, how you've "Shared the Martini," how Martini in the Morning has made a difference in your life or in the life of someone you know. Email Newsletter@MartiniInTheMorning.com your stories. We'll choose some of the stories we receive for use on the air, some for use in Notes from a Cocktail Napkin, others for use on our website as we get close to getting it back to normal (whatever that is).

And as always, if you have any suggestions for future editions of the newsletter, please email us at Newsletter@MartiniInTheMorning.com.

Sincerely,
Your Newsletter Team

Lounging Around
French Happy Hour at 
Rive Gauche Cafe
Rive Gauche Cafe in Sherman Oaks, CA

For years, Martini in the Morning has invited you to participate and win CDs as we do "That Thursday Thing." Now there are Thursday "THINGS" to do, and you're invited to our French Happy Hour at Rive Gauche French Cafe and Lounge, 14106 Ventura Boulevard (at Hazeltine) in Sherman Oaks, CA. We get things started with special cocktails and appetizers, but wind up staying for dinner after our 4:00-7:00 pm broadcast. 

This Thursday, we're back with special night before Halloween treats, including a chance to win brunch for two at Rive Gauche or a Frank Sinatra In Hollywood CD Box Set ... And we're conjuring up special brews featuring Dan Aykroyd's Crystal Head Vodka. 

Dan Aykroyd - Crystal Head Vodka

THE FINEST VODKA IS UNTOUCHED. NATURALLY SMOOTH.

Highest quality peaches and cream corn is distilled four times into a neutral grain gluten-free spirit and blended with pristine water from Newfoundland,  Canada. The liquid is then filtered seven times, of which three are through layers of semi precious crystals known as Herkimer diamonds.

 

THE CRYSTAL HEAD BOTTLE WAS DESIGNED WITH A PURE SPIRIT IN MIND.

Dan Aykroyd and John Alexander wanted to craft a vessel worthy of one of the world's purest vodkas. A symbol of life, reflecting power and enlightenment, to hold their award-winning white spirit of super natural purity.

 

Crystal Head contains no additives. No glycerol, citrus oils or sugars. Nothing is added to enhance or mask the taste.

 

Pre-Halloween cocktails inspired by the pure spirit of Crystal Head Vodka. Join us, 4:00 pm-7:00 pm Thursdays at Rive Gauche Cafe!
last  MITM Martini Glass  call
 
While back in Boise, Idaho for my periodic (all too infrequent) visit to my wife, kids, Grandkids, in laws, etc, I posted video shot from our new apartment there. MITM artist, actress, model and renaissance woman Tamela D'Amico said "Why would you ever come back to la for the radio show? Do it there. Are you nuts!" And as beautiful as it is, and as much as I consider Boise my adopted hometown, Tamela knows the answer as well as anyone else. 

This music we love and play for you was born on Broadway and in Hollywood. So many of these great songs were first introduced to us on Broadway and on the big screen. So it's New York or Hollywood. 

So much of what we do that sets Martini in the Morning apart from all the boring Internet and satellite music services is Tamela D'Amico and Billy Vera coming in to talk about an upcoming show or new album, or Steve Tyrell coming by our Rive Gauche French Cafe event because it's in his neighborhood. Judy and Jim McHugh, Lee Newman, Grandchildren and Great Grandson respectively, of legendary songwriter Jimmy McHugh aren't likely to stop by and hang out at the studio in Boise, Idaho, no matter how beautiful it is. So we're here; where the music was born and lives on today, as contemporary as it was when it was first introduced.

Now, if we weren't struggling quite so much, I could hang out with my Grandkids a little more often. You know the rest. 
   
Cheers!
