A rain soaked train ride to the winery.
An absolutely lovely place.
The gig went off like a charm.
It was a pleasure to work with Mike Price and the quintet.
Tom Pierson was phenomenal.
Andy Wuulf on tenor was a nice surpise.
The last time I saw him play, he was happenin' -
but this time, he was blowin' smoke!
The audience was very receptive,
and I met some nice people.
Thanks for your help, Ayako...
The rain fell all through the night,
but today
it looks like a break.
A change in scenery always perks me up,
and I'm feeling renewed, somehow...
To all my family and friends in NY,
welcome back online.
Does anyone remember the song:
"Where were you when the lights went out, New York City?"
That was for the 1977 black out.
I guess it's just a matter of time before the 2003 version will be written.
They had a news story here about it-
A Japanese lady visiting NYC, was locked out of her hotel room, and alone.
She couldn't speak much English, and the Japanese Embassy was offline.
I imagine it was scary for her-
But those kind of times are what makes New York-
New York.
The people you meet who help.
I hope this lady got a break.
"They say the neon lights are bright ON BROADWAY
They say there's always magic in the air
but when you're walkin' down the street
and you ain't had enough to eat
the image of it all somehow seems no-where..."
Find a friend and hold on tight.
till next time 'Mela
