"Please

The Valley" at 7:30 p.m. on Comcast Channel 10 as both Valley Arts Council
President Rich DiCarlo, and "Gallerie Chartier" Proprietor Russell
Chartier, discuss how and why arts, music and culture are alive and
vibrant in the Valley. Thank you for watching, and enjoy the show."

by the Beatnik generation with producer and guitarist Benoir of Long
Beach, N.Y. at 9 p.m. today.
