Me, Dad, Amy and Gary rehearsing for the show. My dad and I will both be appearing tomorrow night in a Cabaret Variety Show. He will be playing the saxophone for three numbers, and I will join him in singing one of them: his favorite song, "Stardust". He's also planning to play "All of Me", and "On the Sunny Side of the Street".
Have I mentioned that my dad is 95? This is so cool. Dad used to play most every weekend in small combos when I was growing up. (And way before that too!) He hasn't played in clubs for years, but still plays for his own enjoyment (and mine) at home, playing along with CD's and videos of music specials. (He loves to say, "I'm used to playing with Benny Goodman, ya know.") So when my friend Amy, owner of the Cabaret at Studio B, asked him to perform in her next variety show, I was surprised when he agreed. But delighted!
The photo above appeared in the newspaper today, along with a really nice article. You can click this link to read it. (It may ask you to answer a couple of survey questions to read the whole article. No biggie.)
