Topaz
If I had to pick one thing about my life for Wikipedia, it would be those crazy, wonderful 90s when I was running around NYC playing piano for chanteuse extraordinaire TOPAZ, reveling in a repertoire of brilliant songs that ranged from George Gershwin to Francesca Blumenthal.
Our partnership began at a New Year's Eve party in 1991, when I sat down at a piano and started playing LA VIE EN ROSE. Across the room, Topaz just started singing and walking towards the piano and, just like in a 1930s screwball comedy, by the time she reached the piano we had a Valentine's Day gig in a Lesbian bar. Only in New York, folks.
Now, thanks to the fabulous Roxie Rogers, Topaz & I will return to the scene of the crime as her special guest artists in THE ROXIE ROGERS SHOW at NYC's famed Metropolitan Room on Tuesday, September 18th.
Roxie was just recognized by The Piano Society of Nashville as Nashville's Cabaret Artist of the Year 2012.
Needless to say, we have to sell those tickets, so if you can join us, please go to the Metropolitan Room link above and make your reservation now and we'll see you at the theatre! (If you won't be in NYC but you have friends who are, send them our way!)
