The Manhattan 7 15 11
Posted on July 18, 2011 with 0 comments
I got to the Manhattan early enough to deliver my fresh bag of figs and a dozen eggs to Destin, my boss. It started off slow but picked up quickly. Instead of the usual two tables for the regular crowd, it ended up with 4 tables and I spent the first part of the evening drinking wine during the breaks at the bar. The conversations were very diverse and interesting.
I covered most of the James Taylor and Joni Mitchel and Paul Simon songs I knew and then switched to Peter Paul and Mary, Dylon and squeezed in various originals as I could. They really want to hear the song they recognize. Leonard Cohen's " Hallelujah" and the old traditional" There's Whiskey In The Jar" from the traditional Irish is always a great one as long as I put John Denver's " Country Roads" before it and after a couple of bottles of wine. It was a great evening!
