I wish i could be there,but i can't.
This at Feinstein's right?
Yes, that's the place. Looking forward to seeing her again.
She is going to tear it up! She will be presenting her "Combo" that she debut at the Apollo several months ago.
I will be seeing Mary Wilson along with Martha later this month in Daytona Beach.
They're playing all of these warm places right now. LOL!Quote:

I'll have to do some checking. There is so much going on right now.Quote:

Anyway, There is not a bad seat in the house, Mary is very talented and you can hang with her afterwards - she’s a delight and very friendly. Spring for a bottle of Dom and she’ll even transcend friendly. LOL!!!! Have fun and please report back.Quote:

Speaking of the flu bug, didn't Diana Ross cancel her anticipated appearance on Good Morning America a few months back because of the flu? When she resurfaced, many fans commented on her recent weight loss. The bug making the rounds nulls one's appetite, and although I don't recommend it as a weight loss plan, it seems to have that effect.
I caught it a few weeks ago . All I wanted was water.Quote:

Hopefully, hanging out with Mary a bit after the show. She leaves San Francisco early the next morning for her next show.
Diana cancelled the VIEW because she was ill, but seemed to be fine a few days later for her appearances on HSN. She had already lost the weight when she accepted her AMA Lifetime Achievement Award in November, prior to the flu epidemic.Quote:

But it is also nice that she is appearing in a warm intimate room. That is what I thought the "warm places" comment meant. Mary shines in places like this and there aren't a whole lot of nice ones. This is a nice one. It would be nice if she did this on the east coast too, either at the Cafe Carlyle or 54 Below. They, too, are intimate , warm and nice.
You have to really know how to and be able to sing! In these types of intimate venues, people can look you in the eye and you had better be good! Mary can confidently deliver the goods:

I asked Mary at a recent show if she was appearing at 54 Below and she said no but to ask them to book her. So I did!
That was very cool of you Luke!Quote:
