There will never be another you, Joyce!"    Born of a French mother and Russian father, Joyce has a gypsy in her soul, as her wanderlust attests. Joyce managed and produced the American Folk Ballet for 25 years and also managed Agnes DeMille. She served 15 years as Commissioner of the Arts in LA County. Don't miss a wonderful evening of songs and stories -- a very special evening with an outstanding entertainer. More about Joyce: www.aimeeentertainment.com/aimee.htm        An Evening of Music and Comedy with Ronnie Jayne & Friends    Wednesday, December 3rd at 8pm * $25   Ronnie Jayne began her professional career performing at the popular Catskill Mountain Resorts and throughout the East Coast. Her versatile talents as a singer/pianist/comic and songwriter soon took her to Las Vegas for a seven year run. She has been on several international tours and was a featured performer with Bob Hope. Ronnie creates special material for conventions and organizations, including Star-Kist Tuna, Metropolitan Transit Authority, the American Heart Association, Goodwill Industries, Xerox and more! If you had to describe her in one word, that word would be "FUN". Her performances are energetic, and she always comes in with a positive attitude.      Singing Political Satirist Roy Zimmerman's PEACENIK! "a latter-day Tom Lehrer." Los Angeles Times     Saturday, December 13 at 8:30pm * $25   Roy Zimmerman writes fiecely funny songs.  Now he takes satirical aim at the absurdities of the Holidays.  PeaceNick is 90 minutes of Lefty-Pacifist-Humanist Seasonal satire - music to listen to while the presents get unwrapped and the Bush administration comes unglued.  Happy "Christma-Hanu-Rama-Ka-Dona-Kwaanza"! Zimmerman was the creator of the hilarious political satirical quartet The Foremen (Warner/ Reprise recording artists) and has been compared to Tom Lehrer in the LA Times and elsewhere. Roy (on his own or with The Foremen) has opened for Bill Maher, Dennis Miller, George Carlin and Paula Poundstone. His private arsenal of edgy musical delights includes hilarious send-ups of mega-mergers (Multi-National Anthem), the 60s (Psychedlic Relic), healthcare and politics. Roy's Creation Science 101 was YouTube's #1 pick last year and has garnered nearly a million hits!     Steinway Hall @ Fields Pianos * 12121 W. Pico Bl.
