Hi Ho,
If you read this page, I'm sure you know Liza at the Palace has opened to rave reviews and she is the Toast of Broadway.
Here's Billy Stritch, LM and myself at the Curtain Call Opening Night.
The show is amazing and the highlight for me is hearing Liza sing the new verse into the "Judy At The Palace Medley". When the audience understands she's singing about her Mother and then we do the number itself, I'm usually teary eyed. Pretty emotional stuff.
Anyway, NYC is bursting at the seams with people walking around...More than I think I've ever seen before. Judging from the bleak economic news, I wonder what they're doing? Buying? Going to the Movies? Shows? Whatever, it's an unbelievable number of walkers, talkers and gawkers.
Getting some new DW drums. Jazz Series, (like the old Gretsch 3 ply maple/gum/maple shells). Black Ice is the color. Loving the DW's I'm using on the show.
If anyone wants or needs a drum set for Xmas, I've got 2 or 3 to sell...All in perfect, brand new, right off the showroom floor condition. Email me at berkowitz66@msn.com A good deal for you, guaranteed.
We're putting up the Tree tonight. Our tradition is Deirdre does all the work and I smoke a cigar and drink Cognac. That's why we're still together all these years.
Have a Happy Everything, (in the words of Kay Thompson)...
Til the next time,
Mike B.
