This was eight years ago. A flyer for my live storytelling show in Brooklyn. Look at the date- Dec 17th 2013
This was not some kind of joke or stunt- I just happened to ask two performers to come on my show to tell a story. Joy was working on a solo show about growing up in Brooklyn, and Gavin was always good for an interesting appearance. They both got along fine, and the audience didn't seem fazed or surprised that these two, and I, would be performing together.
Please use the term media cave, - I hate the phrase man cave - it’s reductive and derogatory. As Sebastian Maniscalco said “my father had a man cave it was the house”
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
What a wonderful time. We were treated like kings. Greg’s staff couldn’t have been more cordial, and Tom was a very generous host. We all felt way more important than we deserve. (Also, Jamie was nice.)
“Down in the valley”
Down in the valley, the valley so low,
Hang your head over, hear the winds blow.
Hear the winds blow, dear, hear the winds blow.
Hang your head over, hear the winds blow.
Down in the valley, walking between,
Telling our story, here's what it means.
Here's what it means, dear, here's what it means,
Telling our story, here's what it means.
Roses love sunshine, violets love dew,
Angels in heaven know I love you;
Know I love you, dear, know I love you,
Angels in heaven know I love you.
Build me a castle forty feet high,
So I can see him as he rides by;
As he rides by, dear, as he rides by,
So I can see him as he rides by.
Writing this letter, containing three lines,
Answer my question, "Will you be mine?"
"Will you be mine, dear, will you be mine,"
Answer my question, "Will you be mine?"
If you don't love me, love whom you please,
Throw your arms round me, give my heart ease.
Give my heart ease, dear, give my heart ease,
Throw your arms round me, give my heart ease.
Throw your arms round me, ...
