I recently was asked to play beautiful piano Music for a naming ceremony which honestly turned out to be really beautiful. What a nice touch and, I got to play the Steinway and Sons pictured above. I thought it was a great idea. I loved the opportunity and the experience. I hope it catches on! )

I had the great honor of meeting Jimmy Roberts in The Varnish a few weeks ago. I was just jamming

out playing some a wild rendition of George Gershwin’s “I Got Rhythm”-and a very upbeat group of people came in. One of them kept asking for George Gershwin and he knew all the words. Not only the usual Verse /Chorus but also the cool intros.
Turns out it was “Jimmy Roberts”.
And this guy kept telling me how much he liked my George Gershwin renditions.
And Jimmy Roberts, when I checked him out on Google when I got home…is none other than the Composer for “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change”- This musical is the longest running off Broadway musical in history,yo! : )
Anyway, good people, Jimmy Roberts. He also is quite an entertainer noted for putting together shows using Gershwin tunes. Cool!
This was quite a treat.
I play at the Varnish on Tues nights from 830 to 12:30 and you never know who might drop in. : )

When my mother-in-law Anne went into the Jasmine Terrace to live my wife inquired, naturally,in the music program there.
I love to play for these ladies because they are wonderful and they know all the words and it is one hour of the week where I’m definitely the show, the Entertainer if you will.
So,every Friday before my other gig I go hang out with these wonderful ladies from 6 to 7 and dazzle them with the Standards, 20s,30s, 40s etc…And we sing and they are a hoot and always very appreciative.
That’s Anne in the middle with the hat! : )
And, thanks you ladies!! : )

Image via Wikipedia Monday Parkway!
I’m starting on Monday…mostly because it’s where my week started! First off two of the regulars at Parkway came in with a bunch of family and friends and brought me – yes me, a CD of ….ta da! Real Portuguese music!! Beautiful.
These wonderful people have been coming in for months and it’s always a great exchange talking to them about music and songs etc…
The husband is from Portugual and he has often asked me to play any “Portuguese” music. I have been at a loss…What is it? It’s not Brazilian even though Brazil speaks Portuguese..Okay, Now that I have had a chance to listen a bit, I know! And it’s of course unique and beautiful and the best thing is that now I can learn some real Portuguese music!! Cool!
And then- who else comes in? This awesome party of very bright people who want to hear- amongst others-”It’s a Wonderful Life!” ( “What a Wonderful World”)
The exchange with these people is just fun and the lady even asks me to come out to the table and see what else they would like to hear.
One of the party it turns out is a writer who writes for magazines in England and almost played golf recently with…… Rick Wakeman!! What? Wild! I shook his hand because he promises me he is going to play golf with Rick Wakeman in the near future and, he will shake his hand for me!!!! So now, I shook hands “once removed” with Rick Wakeman! Now that’s awesome!
Plus they did love my rather over the top version of Piano Man!! Let’s just say it brought the whole table into the piano area from the Dining room for the big finale!! : ) Amazing night!
