Just did a live concert last night with Shanna In A Dress. She is going to be a superstar - like Taylor Swift superstar, so keep your ear out for her! She's funny, fearless, 6 feet tall and gorgeous. So glad I'm beyond the age of envy. She will be part of Jim Caruso's Cast Party this coming Monday night, as will Deirdre Flint and I after we finish our Birdland Theater show downstairs.
Join us if you can!
Ciao!
Chris

- Columnist Jennifer Finney Boylan was inspired by the song to write about her best summer -- what was yours?
