The boys and I were lucky enough to get to see some plays, (West Side Story and Wicked) and some music, (Jon Anderson and also The Bad Plus) at some great places. John and I went out to play at the Blue Note in the Village and saw the Bad Plus. Through great seating, we were right up against front and center stage. A dream come true for me... If I had the time and money, I would have gone from the Blue Note, over to the Village Vanguard, then to Birdland, then to Dizzy's Club and then to Iridium. A lot of history there. But we also really got into Jon Anderson who is the lead singer for Yes. Paul was able to get some video of Anderson during the evening, and what a smoothie and what a great concert!!!!!!!!!
We were in the Big Apple because Paul had an appointment with the Perkins School for the Blind -- a weekend program to help prepare for life after High School. Yes, there is life after high school! We had a great time. If anyone would like to go to NYC just get in touch with me and with Paul and John and we will take you down. Time Square, Radio City Music Hall, the Apple Store, Central Park, the Met, the MOMA, the U.N., the Village, Battery Park, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, ESPN Zone, etc.
More Later...
