Only in NYC can this happen. I’m on the plane heading to NYC and strike up a chat with Nathan and Brian the guys sitting next to me. Their from Galveston,TX and we’re having a great old time when I ask “why are you going to NYC”? “ To see a friend of ours who’s a jazz singer at the Metropolitan Room you should come as our guest.” What a coincidence , I’m a jazz singer whats her name?” When theY told me I thought I would faint,.. MARILYN MAYE?!!! You have got to be kidding me!!! Well an amazing time was had by all. Ms. Maye was superb, it was like a master class in how to keep an audience in the palm of your hand for 2hrs. At 84 her voice was strong and lush, what a special night.
