Peter Yarrow as a solo didn't go over well, this show had been originally skedded for Saturday, April 15 at the John Carroll University gymnasium, but was moved to Friday the 14th at the Allen. There couldn't have been more than a couple hundred at this, the last day or so saw tix reduced to $3, that didn't seem to help. Afterwards Peter entertained a dozen or so people in the Allen's rotunda for a half hour or so. This was supposed to be a big weekend for us, but it didn't work out that way, a Joe Tex show skedded for the following day was cancelled on short notice. However, the big Save the Allen benefit was the weekend's saving grace that Sunday the 16th.
The ranks also started to thin around this time, Cinnamon, who hadn't been around much since I started was no longer there. And Bugs, Soloman Alexander, also left around then, Bugs would resurface later after we opened Porter in the Palace, in late 1973 for a month or so.
