It’s Our Party…
If you look earlier in my blog, you will see an entry about being booked as an opening act for Lesley Gore on October 19. Well, that concert happened! AND it was really a great time! It was at The Outpost in the Burbs which is a beautiful performance venue (Universlist Church) in Montclair, New Jersey. It is without a doubt one of the finest places I have ever performed. I was treated like royalty there with my own green room, and a small spread of fruit and stuff. Richard Katz and the staff and volunteers were absolutely incredible (Thank You!) . They love bringing music to people - and it shows in every smile. They were equally kind to my bud Pete, who came out from Long Island just to see the show (Yea, he’s a big Lesley Gore fan…). He got to be a roadie again! Thanks again to everyone AND to Barbara Roehrer from the Acoustic Music Agency who booked me there. I did about a 25 minute set to a pleasant crowd. I stayed around for Lesley, and must say was stunned by her show. She did not just do her “classic oldies”, but an array of songs, many of which she wrote. One of them was a grammy nominated song used in the movie ‘Fame’. She is a real talent, and her hits are no accident. See her if you get a chance! Maybe I’ll be there too…
