THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT

We went to see Bobby Short at the Carlyle once. He was 'on' that night and we had a great time.

It was fun to see the onemanband character of his performance. He would fidget with the lights, dim them, bring them up.

He bounced. He hit the keys with his entire body. A life force.

Read Stephen Holden's appreciation in the New York Times and definitely look and listen to the slide show in the box!
