Bobby Baxter Memorial/Celebration

[Meir Yedid]

Michael Chaut asked me to post the following info about the Bobby Baxter memorial celebration:

Hi All,

Come out to celebrate and remember the magical life of "Professor" Bobby Baxter at Seppi's Restaurant, 119 West 56th Street (at the Parker Meridien Hotel - between 6th & 7th Avenue) on Wednesday, September 16th at 7PM.

Bobby was a legend in the New York magic scene and all over the world. He was a great close-up technician and stage performer. He played all of the great supper clubs, the London Palladium, the Ed Sullivan Show, with the Great Ricciardi many times, and in NY, he worked at the Magic Towne House, Mostly Magic and in his later years, Monday Night Magic. He was 89 years old. His real name was Edwin Ziegler. Let's not forget him.

Please help us spread the word so that everyone who knew and loved Bobby can come out and join us.

This evening has been planned and organized by Bobby's longtime friend and confidante (in his later years), Ingrid Spangler and will be hosted by Seppi's Restaurant http://www.parkermeridien.com/eat2.php

Beer, wine and some food and will be supplied (complimentary) by Seppi's Restaurant. As we will need to alert Seppi's as to the amount of people to expect, please RSVP to info@magicalnights.com or call 718-575-1349.

On behalf of Ingrid Spangler (and the "Professor") ... I look forward to seeing you all there!
