Still working on Speargrove Presents with NYTB

Spent a few nights on Fir

e Island, at Mostly Sondheim, and Our Hit Parade playing piano and singing with the lovely and incomparable Molly Pope

and now I am the newest piano-man (or person...let's keep it PC) at the legendary West Village piano bar: Marie's Crisis
