About to start NY NY...
The 22o Euro Pencil Sharpener.
And we're back! December 1, 2008.
About to go into NY for the first day of rehearsals for LIZA'S AT THE PALACE, which opens on Dec. 3.
Since my last post, I've been to Santa Rosa to conduct the Orchestra, then a 26 hour day of travel to Rome for a series of Concerts in Italy with Liza Minnelli.We did 7 concerts in 20 days so there was plenty of time to sight see in Rome, Florence, Bari (not so much actually), Bologna, Milan, Torino, (looked very interesting but we just came in. played and then left) and Campignon.
Great concerts and the lovely Deirdre was with me for Santa Rosa, Rome and Florence.Did a bit of shopping and purchased a 220 Euro Pencil Sharpener in Milan that is amazing.
Back on Saturday the 15th...In the studio with Liza and the band on the 16th all day to finish the new CD.
Off the 17th and then on to Woonsocket, RI for 4 warmup dates for the Palace. We played at the Stadium Theatre in Woonsocket, very nice place. The Patriot Diner was our hangout during the week with the best Chicken Rice soup anywhere.
Back on Sunday night, a day off and then Tuesday rehearsal for Wednesday Rosie Live Show with Liza doing a version of City Lights with Rosie. I was in my car at 8:34 pm and home in Newburgh at 9:36 pm...
Lovely Thanksgiving at home...a few days of rest and on to the Palace.
Hope to see you there!
