“Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming.” – David Bowie
Wow! October has much good news to report for Pear Tree Enterprises!
First, our Learn & Listen Series, “The Life and Music of David Bowie featuring Keith Beck” had a very special surprise guest when we presented at The Kinnelon Library a few weeks ago. Three-time Grammy Award-Winning Producer, Rob Fusari treated us to his edgy version of “Young Americans.” The audience was filled with over 50 people!
Stay tuned for many more surprises for The Learn & Listen series!
Other great news is that on September 15, my third book “The Gypsy Smiled” was published by GenZ. It’s now available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Gypsy-Smiled-Maryanne-Christiano-Mistretta/dp/1545447470
