From their APPLE WALLET member card, an app where you can schedule sessions and consistent email reminders of discounts, offers and confirmations. They do a more than admirable job... Continuing a bad year for our musical legends. GEORGE MARTIN, producer of THE BEATLES has died. R.I.P... Happy Birthday to ROMAN TSUN, LUCY FISHER, SALIL MEHTA, BLAKE INDURSKY, ALICE PETERSON and DANNY MORROW. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
