Booth Night

An extremely cool evening. The Players celebrates "Booth Night" every year, on the birthday of its founder Edwin Booth. A series of readings & performances including the story of when Edwin Booth saved Robert Lincoln, the President's son from dying. Then a candlelight procession leaves the Club and enters Gramercy Park to place a laurel wreath at Edwin's statue. I was extremely honored to be one of the lantern-bearers.

Routine Blood Work

But being done on the "Louis Armstrong Floor" of Beth Israel! Nice one...

Apparently the New Orleans legend was a former patient here. And the next floor up? The Victor Borge floor. (I kid you not.) Delightful. Well, as delightful as a little boy's blood work can be...

A Mentor, In a Manner of Speaking

It is so rare to find, and therefore so hard to lose, someone who sees - and believes in - The Real You.

(And just as I was typing this post... what song comes on? "Standing With Angels" by Anders Osborne. Tremendous... I like that you're still DJ-ing for me, my friend...)

"Standing with angels now

you didn't go gently in to the night

but you're standing with the Maker now

you're gonna rage against the light
standing with angels now

things 'round here don't change

still trying to do too much

without you it ain't the same

but it helps to know that you're watching us

yeah, you're watching us"

The Power Of All Powers

Paul, the bartender at Shades of Green, just handed me the remote to skip to my songs...

I am drunk with power.
