April Showers Bring May Showers




Greetings from Cold, Windy and Rainy New York. Above is a picture of a concert on May 9th in Brentwood, LI featuring Tony Babino with my Big Band. Tony sang Sinatra's hits and the Sold Out Audience was on their feet all night. Tony will be appearing with me and the full band at Iridium in NYC on June 9th. Basie and Sinatra at the Sands is the music we're performing.

This picture is from a Gala with the New York Philharmonic April 20th.

Marvin Hamlisch conducting. Liza, Jennifer Holliday, Joel Grey and other Broadway singers performed "New York Moments". I'm looking into space as usual.


Other events of late. Liza at the Virginia Arts Festival in Norfolk, Billy Stritch at the 3rd Anniversary of the Metropolitan Room in NYC, Liza at the Easter Bonnet Competition and also at the Waldorf for a Private Event, hosted by Elizabeth Hurley and Sir Elton John.



A couple of weeks off before a European jaunt with Liza and the Minnoolians. Germany is the first stop. More on that after we get back. The dates are on the http://www.officiallizaminnelli.com/
website.


I'm cleaning drums and refiling music. Also, there are still drums for sale. The 1938 Radio Kings in the Black and White picture above and the 1997 Ludwigs in WMP. Make me an offer. I need the room since I got the new DW's!
Stick with the Classics!
Best to all.
