Dear Friends/Poets,

Daniel Thompson, Cuyahoga County Poet Laureate, would have turned 71 years on 
April 21.  Join us for a night of celebration in a free concert performance 
by Drumplay with his comrades of Cleveland + Kent - wordsmiths/friends who knew 
and loved our poet-warrior.  Daniel succumbed to leukemia on May 6, 2004.

This will be a benefit concert for The Homeless Grapevine, a monthly 
newspaper (to which Daniel contributed), produced and distributed by the homeless 
through an empowerment project of the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless.  

We will be joined by Rick Kodramaz, bass player for Lingua/KMOB, and Al 
Moses, guitarist in  KMOB.  Also, Dan Bode, harmonica/vocals, the other half of 
Lingua, will be contributing his talents as well, and reading from Daniel 
Thompson's works.  

We will begin with a social hour (coffee and pastries by Ayman of Algebra Tea 
House); and poets can start around 8:00 p.m.  Drumplay will perform around 
8:30 or 9:00 p.m.  More poetry can follow at 10:00 p.m., if anyone wishes.

All proceeds will benefit this N.E.O.C.H. newspaper, and its continued 
operations.  Limited edition CDs/cassettes and books/posters of Daniel Thompson and 
Drumplay (and other artists) will be available for purchase to help this 
worthy cause.  

Freewill donations will be accepted; and a representative from N.E.O.C.H. is 
attending to talk about issues facing the homeless in 2006.

WHEN:      April 21, 2006 from 7-11 p.m.
WHERE:    Algebra Tea House (Little Italy) Cleveland, Ohio
                 2136 Murray Hill Road
                 (216) 421-9007 

WHY:        You know why!
