LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, A LEGEND...

A very fab! night at the McCallum Theater in Palm Desert, where I was the guest of producer and celebrity photographer Michael Childers for his One Night Only. In the audience (front row, if you please) sat Broadway legend Carol Channing in trademark gold lame and probably a few diamonds. (I don't mean rhinestones...) Also attending was Mrs. Barbara Sinatra. Now an annual fund-raising event, Childers' show features some of the best Broadway and film talent, showcasing music from various chapters of his life as the longtime partner of director John Schlesinger (Midnight Cowboy.) Everything from Bob Dylan through Evita to Mozart. Highlights? Yup, plenty of them. Too many to choose, in fact. (Though I have to say, Kaye Ballard still sounds amazing at 87. Not kidding! It must be the desert air.) More, please.
