Irish eyes were definitely smiling – Curtis Becraft (tall dude, batman shirt), who runs a really fun Tuesday nite show at the Tara Hill Irish Tavern on Manhattan's Upper Westside, asked me to be the featured performer on August 11. Carla Lynne Hall (bright red dress, matching flower in hair) sang some lovely duets with Curtis (who also plays a mean accordion), Val Kinzler and Michelle Fury brought their cool East Village act uptown, and Carl Riehl (striped blue shirt, big smile) showed up completely unannounced and accompanied me with his accordion for my entire set. It was a perfect musical night, the kind I always hope for!
