It was an awesome event. Well attended, and there were some wonderful performances: poetry (including Gary's reading of a ghazal written by a poet in Pakistan on September 11), music (I went out and bought Madeline Peyroux's album "Dreamland" afterwards), dance. Gary had most of us in tears with his rendition of "Sidewalks of New York" at the end.

Well Tony, sorry I don't know who you were because I was there too and it would have been nice to meet you. By the way, I was your doorman. LOL. I can second Tony that it was quite a successful event. Let me know how the Madelyn album is. I loved her voice AND she covered Billie Holiday, so she is OK in my book. Gary also sang one of my favorite songs, Stephen Foster's "Hard Times." Yes, it was nice to put a face to you Gary. Please post the "August" poem when you can. I would love to be able to read it at my leisure.

Congrats on a successful event!
