Where Have I Been?

Hey everyone -- sorry I've been out of touch recently. We've been pretty busy at work and for the last week I've been on the go with a couple of events. One was a fancy schmancy to-do in Newport, RI. The other was a low-brow shindig in Baltimore. The best of both worlds.

In Newport my clients stayed at a Relais & Chateaux property and enjoyed brunch at the New York Yacht Club followed by a day of sailing on actual America's Cup boats.
In Baltimore, my clients were entertained by Sha Na Na in a ballroom at the Marriott.Yes. That Sha Na Na. These days there are only three original members left, none of whom remembers their infamous performance at Woodstock.Actually, I don't know whether they remember or not. I didn't ask. However, I did talk to their road manager and he had the entire story. Seems that Jimi Hendrix was a little nervous about following The Who and decided he needed an opening act. He saw this band at a bar and asked them if they'd do the gig. That band was Sha Na Na. Jimi paid them with a bad check and somehow Sha Na Na ended up with a TV show and a pretty sweet job in a little film called Grease.

Anyway. I'm back and will be writing again, with fervor, ASAP.
