My first concert? Tony Orlando & Dawn (ok! I was 9, and it was the 70’s and I’m still pissed that we had sh#tty seats). First concert sans parental supervision, Cheap Trick with the Pat Travers Band as the opening act (I remember this, and what I wore, which was so nerdy, as I dressed for an 8th grade teeny-bop in the school gym not a concert at the local hockey arena). First album purchased, Chic (yes, Nile Rodgers is on my celebrity sighting list, and having been a resident of NYC since 1998, I duly reined in my inner 14 year-old self from screaming ‘I LOVE YOU NILE” as I passed him on 72nd Street West as he exited the subway). So, yes, peculiar and varied musical tastes…which is a perfect interlude to:

• Nick Cave: Loss, Yearning, Transcendence (On Being)
• Legend: The Joni Mitchell Story (BBC)
• Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song (Netflix)

And it’s emails like this that remind us that you are the Queen.

When a compliment like ⬆️ this land in my inbox AND come from a savvy networker, well, I’ll bask in it for a while…and the email referred to, you can find it here.
