I assure you, Pat, that that is the ONLY thing that would keep me from joining you and the Writing Group for brunch on Sunday. <br />I take some solace in knowing that I will see you next month in San Francisco when I am there performing my critically-acclaimed cabaret show, "Mama's Boy," at Feinstein's at The Nikko on Monday, October 24, at 8:00 PM. Tickets on sale now at mamasboy.brownpapertickets.com <br />See what I did there? This is what artists have to do. If we don't promote ourselves, who will? Still, Pat, you are one of the people who helped me see myself as an artist. Much of the reason I have become a successful cabaret singer is because I grew into someone who could tell my story in our Writing Group. Cabaret is telling stories through song which has led me to do these shows and led me to go to Mykonos and miss brunch with you. Funny thing, that. <br />I'm so glad this was such a wonderful week for both of us!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17592139591824352977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27117414415297190.post-70159018717172260442016-09-10T11:43:16.116-07:002016-09-10T11:43:16.116-07:00It was so lovely to see you, dear friend.

It was great. The best thing was we got the Bob Kuban Band to play. They played our Senior Prom and now our 50 year reunion. And Bob Kuban sat next to me at dinner. When he was a kid he was interested in drums but he didn't have a kit. Then Chick Berry played at his school. Chuck Berry didn't have a drummer, so he said does anybody here play the drums? All the kids pointed at Bob. So literally the first time he ever played the drums he was playing with Chick Berry. I had great experience at Parkway. At Parkway it was cool to be smart and it was cool to want to fix the world. Terry R. signed up for our web site but was too busy at work to attend the reunion. We weren't able to find Randy W., do you have any info on him? RIP Don.
