Posted by Tom Earlier that evening we visited the Christo & Jeanne-Claude's Gates in Central Park 1979-2005. We drove down to Times Square and saw the guy in the window of the Good Morning America studio building the New York Skyline out of playing cards. Yankee Stadium, the Flat Iron Building, the Chrysler Building, and of course the Empire State Building. Across the street was a guy taking photos and he was freezing. I took a photo with my wife and while we were waiting for the picture to come out, up the sidewalk come Billy Connelly and Eric Idle of Monty Python. I shook Eric Idle's hand and told him that I saw him play the City Center with Monty Python. New York City is the greatest. Link: Christo & Jeanne-Claude...

I was driving home from New York City, with my wife. It was closing in on 1 AM and we were close to the Meadowbrook Parkway exit on the Long Island Expressway listening to Jonesey playing the Beatles singing "The Word," Muddy Waters, Witchcraft, creating quite a feeling of euphoria in yours truly that such a radio station exists that can appeal to my taste for the eclectic. Then DJ Jonesy signed off his show with "a band from Long Island called the Bossa Nova Beatniks." As American Dream was playing I couldn't help noticing how fun that was. I have heard our music on the radio many times, but rare are the times when I will be driving my car and have one of our songs come on the radio. Yes, fun is exactly what it was.
The street through Central Park was closed to traffic. We could stand in the middle of the street in amongst the gates, all alone in the 22 degree cold of a February night. We walked through the last gate out of the park at 11:11 PM.
