Thanks to all of you wonderful folks who came out last Saturday Night at the Green Dolphin Street! It was like old times. There was dancing, drinking, and great merry making all over the place...I was in heaven!! I think maybe the Dolphin will think about having live music again from time to time because you guys came out and showed them that it is worth it!! It looks like we will be back before Christmas (December 20th) and Valentine's Day. Stay tuned!! Photos from 10/25/08 are posted on …

And so I decided to post my recap of one of the most wonderful documentary films I have ever seen. It was the most …

Just having those horn parts charted out and ready to go, then hearing them played was so satisfying. Kenny Anderson (trumpet player) rocked those charts to create a huge sound with lots of show biz. We are all very happy. I lost seventeen pounds. …
A Dream (man) Deferred
Unbeknownst to most of you - my cyber family, I have been involved in a rather serious infatuation with an absolute dream of a man. He is gorgeous and sexy and sensitive and spiritual and gorgeous and sexy and smart and gorgeous and sexy. And I have been obsessed with him for weeks now. We have been doing this kind of dance around the hot chemistry thing for weeks now and it had been building to porn movie proportions: walking by each other, grasping a finger and holding on, running my nails …
