'THE DAYS OF THE PAST ARE LEFT BEHIND,
A MOURNFUL ROW OF CANDLES THAT ARE OUT"
Constantine Cavafy - "Candles"
I had met MARVIN HAMLISH at the Westhampton Performing
Arts Center.  So sorry for his loss.

SOUL DOCTOR is a new universal musical - at 79 East 4th Street Theater, presented and conceived by Jeremy Chess..
It is an uplifting, beautifully written story about dreams, love success,
music and singing. I cried, I laughed, and danced in my seat to
the joyous songs and music of Shlomo Carlebach. Called "the
singing rabbi", Carlebach opened for BOB DYLAN, JOHN DENVER and deeply touched the life of the legendary NINA
SIMONE, whose dream was to play in Carnegie Hall.
During his life, he wrote over 2,000 songs and recorded 25
albums.  Nina Simone helped him change the course of his
life, and he helped her change the course of her life.
This is a "feel good" play, about love, relationships , and pursuing
your dreams, taking us from Vienna,  Greenwich Village, San
Francisco to Jerusalem. It is a wonderful voyage to be on, book
your ticket now while still in previews.

DEMETRIA DANIELS, SOPHIE MATISSE, KATIE COURIC @Francis M. Naumann Gallery
KATIE COURIC, television star newscaster attended  the opening of the grandaughter of Henri Matisse, the French painter .  Katie is renowned for her many year in NY television as a host and anchorwoman.  Many years ago, she courageously taped  a  medical procedure (colonoscopy)  for  all to watch , in hopes of saving lives and urging
her audience to get a checkup.  How brave, how extraordinary .  She remains an effervescent, jolly, personality.
The bold colors of Sophie, reminds one of  Henri Matisse, who also designed the Matisse chapel in the South of France, and is part of an amazing exhibit at the Met. Museum of Art, called "The Steins".  - a must see show about the art
of Gertrude Stein and her family in Paris.
