Dear Al Jarreau

- robin

 

Dear Al Jarreau,  Last Tuesday evening, Larry and I were at the Olympia Theater in Paris with you.  You had been singing for about 8 minutes when Larry leaned over to me and said: I am hooked. The concert hall was filled with true fans, needing to hear jazz as it is/was meant to be presented. Larry held my hand and we watched you. Mesmerized.

It was the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. With so much to be thankful for already, I was in awe of the absolute joy that surrounded me in the Olympia. Joy, adoration, a big band, your organic jazz, love and yes, I saw you cry.

Why is it that time goes so fast during times of shared inspiration? I hope that I will always remember that evening. You shared your ART and shared your love. What more can an ARTist do?

Merci Beaucoup M. Jarreau~Love you beyond the Moonlight. Me

We arrived home from France yesterday, in the middle of the afternoon.

Leaves had fallen off of the old pecan tree and covered our drive-way.

The suitcases are unpacked.

I am happy and sad at the same time.

I will share more about the trip later,

but wanted to start the new journey on this blog today.

I am HOME! And cannot wait to hear about everyone’s Thanksgiving

and

Holiday plans.

Have the happiest Monday.

Love you,

Me
