July 1st
Dear Friends,
I am sending this off to my web master a few days early, as
I will be in the Big Apple when June melts into July. I will
be working with a director in NYC on my "Gems of the
Great Songwriters" show, which I plan to bring back to
LA and to New
York in October. AND (here's something exciting) I
will also be performing my Kurt Weill show at the gorgeous
142 Throckmorton Theatre in
Mill Valley in late October. I am incredibly delighted
to play that lovely venue again, as I had the time of my life
when I did a short set opening for Robben's acoustic show
there a few weeks ago. Throckmorton's is a truly artistic
place run by truly artistic people!
By the way, thank you to all of the wonderful audience members
who came out to see us and support us on our tour! A great
time was had by all.
"I always like to know everything about my new friends,
and nothing
about my old ones."- Oscar Wilde
A little piece of news: Robben co-wrote a song on Brad Paisley's
new CD "American
Saturday Night" which is absolutely wonderful!
Another NY Times installment from the oh-so-brilliant
Maira Kalman titled "Time
Wastes Too Fast" about the brilliance and
curiosity of Thomas Jefferson.
Here is an excerpt:
"The life of the arts, far from being an interruption,
a distraction in the life of the nation, is very close to
the center of a nation's purpose-and is the test of the quality
of a nation's civilization."
- John F. Kennedy
Here are some amazing
photos from space for you to relish.
"Committee--a group of men who individually can do nothing
but as a group decide that nothing can be done."
Fred Allen (1894 - 1956)

"When you live your life in accordance with basic
goodness, then you develop natural elegance. Your life
can be spacious and relaxed, without having to be sloppy.
You can actually let go of your depression and embarrassment
about being a human being, and you can cheer up."
- Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche
