Hangin' with Cynthia Lennon (John's first wife...before Yoko)

Susan and I went to NYC last night to see a great group of musicians called, The Fab Faux. These guys are veteran music pros that get together to accurately play Beatle songs. The Bass player is from the David Letterman Band, one of the guitar players is from the Conan O'Brien Band. Thru Tracy King, we were able to get VIP seats at the venue, the Bowery Ballroom. Sitting right next to Tracy was Cynthia Lennon, John's first wife, and May Pang (known mostly as John's companion during a "Lost Weekend" that lasted about 18 months in 1973 when John and Yoko split up). Since it was the closest I will ever be to a Beatle, I politely introduced myself to Cynthia. It was a pretty cool moment for us. Cynthia was very nice and gracious. She is now 68 years old - same age John would be today. Apology for too much information on this but, I thought you might want to hear the Fab Faux clip I was able to get with my little camera. It is a great show. Blaze.

Great Post Blaze & Susan!!! It's ironic that you filmed one of the songs I suggested for my "PROJECT" CD! Remember? I even suggested the Stephen Stills version...and you rejected it "out-of-hand" Blaze...

Love that Song!

Who cannot understand the "News-worthiness" of a Post about a night in NYC, at a concert, in VIP seats, chatting with the Former Mrs John Lennon ?

Is my 2year old Grand Daughter Amanda now Commenting ?
