Richard with Paulette Attie. Making her presence felt is Miss Channing
herself, with her red feather boa and Hello Dolly poster.
Sydney booked me when he ran the elegant East 57th Street cabaret, Panache. At the same time, I was cast to play a leading role in the TV movie, Mercy or Murder, to be filmed in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I had to fly back and forth twice to fulfill my Panache engagement. Much thanks to Sidney, who helped make that engagement such a pleasure.
Then, there were friends of the cabaret community, like sculptor MARTIN GLICK, BABS CASBAR, SASHA BAUER, and JASON MC KAMEY and DON DEL BELLO. JOE and PAT SOPIAK kindly drove Jana and me to and from the party. Joe worked with Dan, even before Richard entered the picture. It was another added attraction to learn more about one of our two marvelous hosts. If your name isn’t mentioned, it’s because we missed chatting. Here’s to the next fantastic time we’re together.

Show tunes wafted in and outdoors throughout the afternoon and early evening. Everyone stayed late, waiting for the well timed presentation of the Viennese pastry table. Wow! What an array of deserts. Mind you, I’m a fresh fruit fanatic. The only thing that could entice me to succumb to the desert table was something with fruit on or in it. I can still taste the luscious blueberries on top of and mixed into a cheese cake with a graham cracker crust. Mmmm, good.
