     Hey its Okay to "Have Fun" again: I've been watching the ebb n flow of folks around clubland, and I'm sitting here at quarter to 3 in the morning on Halloween, listening to the dying wind howling across the lake, and I know that you might think its easy for me to sit here and run off at the mouth, egging you on and patting myself on the back for being such a hip know-it-all and gleefully ghoulish gadabout.

     Songwriter and musician Glenn Tilbrook will help the library system do so in a special concert 2 p.m. Nov. 10 at the branch, Washington St. Tickets are $10, and there is limited seating available.

     Tilbrook is most well known for his work in Squeeze, with whom he has been singing, playing and writing songs for many years.

     Squeeze has recorded 13 albums to date, and many, many singles - the several successful ones still grace popular radio more than 20 years later.

     Remember "Cool for Cat" and "Tempted?" Tilbrook and Squeeze are synonymous with a particularly London-oriented style of high-quality, pop
