A week ago, The Bodega Tall Boys, my son's band, appeared at William Skody's Cafe Wha?

Words can barely describe how wonderful the experience was for me, i.e., enjoying and witnessing Alex doing what he loves best and doing it well.

Making things even better was the fact that we were surrounded by family, friends, Gothamites and fans.

Representative of the universally positive feedback the Tall Boys received was a message on Facebook from a Friend: "had a great time last night, thanks for inviting us… Alex is a very talented young man, U should be very proud of him".

An extra added bonus was the opportunity to introduce the band from the stage. My introduction was as follows: "Who says you don't get a second chance to make a good first impression?  Ladies and gentlemen--The Bodega Tall Boys!"
