Having sprained both ankles, a feat that even my doctors were surprised by, it wasn’t enough to deter me from delivering a performance when duty calls. I was determined to crawl to the show, but arrived in a rental wheel chair. I managed with some help to hobble on stage and used my cane as a prop.
I sang “Sign Post,” which is the title track from my next CD. Here are some photos:
The Fresh Fruit Festival was a lot of fun. It was my first time at the Nuyorican Cafe and I’ll be back for sure.
Please come out and support me at the Fresh Fruit Festival on December 19th. I will be accompanied by Steven Sullivan and Robert Urban and there will be a host of other artists. It should be a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to it:
Sunday Dec 19th’s show is a winter/holiday-themed blockbuster, featuring a star-studded, eclectic cast of singers, musicians, poets, comedians & more.
The evening will also include an auction of strange & fabulous items to benefit the Fresh Fruit Festival.
(the perfect opportunity to snag bargain bizarre holiday gifts!)
