A few days ago I contacted Steve Hunter to ask him about the Berlin
Project:

Hi Steve!
First I want to thank you for your great website!
I have a question:
on Thursday, December 14,
Lou Reed will perform his entire 'Berlin' album at St. Ann's
Warehouse, New
York City
Is it true that you and The original Producer Bob Ezrin are involved
in this
project?
That would be Great!!!

Thanks for the reply!

Thomas

Answer from Steve:

Hi Thomas

I'm glad you like the site.

Yes...it is true. I will be there and am very excited about
performing with
Lou again after all these years. And Berlin was one of my facorite
albums.
to be a part of.

Thank you for the email.

Cheers
Steve
