Did I tell you that I fell in love again today? Aside from sharing this performance with Ari, my amazing husband and the important one to consider when spring is in the air . . . I fell in love again with the notion that creative expression takes many forms and the world is actually ready to receive some organic experimentation. Bobby McFerrin ROCKED Symphony Hall today in an understated, humble, yet completely authentic delivery of exploration and improvisation with nothing but a mic and a chair and his warm spirit. Inviting audience participation that ebbed and flowed from the absurd to the sublime, I think we had a slew of Berkeley School of Music students in the house, I was moved by his generosity to young, raw talent and open heart as he shared the stage with The Kuumba Singers of Harvard College, THEY ARE INCREDIBLE!, as well as improvising with a local rapper and hip hop dancer who eagerly jumped up onstage . . . he even managed to pull out impromptu renditions of “Centerpiece” and Nat King Cole’s, “Nature Boy” . . . happy spring and thank you to The Celebrity Series and Marty Jones who always take these opportunities to the next level, believes in the magic of contrast, collaboration, and brings some of the most quintessential artists to our neighborhood.

LA, you treated me to three days of non-stop rain, but also with the warm welcome of The Palm, alluring panache of Fred Segal, delicious nourishment at Luque’s and contagious friendship of your residents; all highlighted by the cosmopolitan embrace of The London West Hollywood. And with the classic twist of a tinseltown movie, delivered a glorious sun-filled day just before we were to part.
Let not so much time pass till we meet again.
