Concert in D

I've played with lots of people over the years, especially with the maxi-talented David Buskin, but once in a blue moon got a hankering to do something solo, like this, when Tom Wolke called me out of the blue to do a Tarrytown show with Tom Rush and Cheryl Wheeler. Too chicken to do it totally alone, I rounded up a ridiculously talented backup trio of peerless jazzbo Mark Egan on fretless electric bass, exquisite cellist Dawn Buchholz, and heavenly singer-songwriter Dee Carstensen on harp, the big harp, the one angels play. We rehearsed a little, not enough to spoil the surprise, and gathered, one at a time, on the Tarrytown stage to debut our work. Washington Irving's Sleepy Hollow, just down the road from Tarrytown, must have sent a ghost or two, because it felt spooky good. Got two standing O's. Never played again. But maybe, when the moon turns blue once more...
