PIANO MAN

He sits in my living room………..and plays!  And sings!

AUTUMN GLOWS in my apartment

The early morning sun floods my apartment with a warm glow…….

making breakfast and reading the New York Times a pleasure.

Tiffany,  Van Gogh,  Picasso and Shakespeare keep me company.

The MET OPERA GALA • Trisan und Isolde

 

She shows up every year………..in a most fantastic “fairy land” gown………..

JEAN SHARIROFF

She said she didn’t have a ticket for the opera………..and maybe that is a good thing!  Can you imagine sitting next to that dress for the five hours of the performance!
