Now some Big APPLE news!!! what a town!
Me last night an impromptu "Body and Soul" at Birdland's : Jim Caruso's
Monday Nite cast Party
If you are in NYC on a Monday! THIS is an open Mic and The Back up Combo is
STELLAR and 1st Class NY Players
Sign your name on the list and do whatever you'd like!
I usually skeptical about open mics, but my friend Neal Shulman from 'Aztec
Two Step', kept nudging me to meet him at Birdland and asked if I could do
this song if I went up.....so here tis...I had a fun night....Christine
Lavin got up and sang and also Ervin Drake 92 a MY songwriter who penned
songs like "Good Morning Heartache" and "It was a Very Good Year" was there
and got up to sing a medley of these classics he is in great shape at 92!!!
