Last night, an old friend and entertainment attorney, invited me to Feinstein's to see and hear Marilyn Maye.  This incredible talent has the distinction of being the singer asked to appear more times of any other singer during Johnny Carson's stint on "The Tonight Show."  Last night, I found out why.  Despite the fact that Marilyn is of an age that most singers/performers have stopped doing their thing, Marilyn seems to be at the top of her game.  Her voice is strong, dynamic and flawless.  She plays on stage like a seasoned veteran who still has the enthusiasm of a child.  She touches the audience with heartfelt emotion and raucous laughter.  And, amazingly, she still has a sex appeal that belies her 80 plus years.  Marilyn Maye is an inspiration to me, not only as a talent, but as a person.  I hope that when I am 80-something that I can still sing, kick, swagger and play like Marilyn Maye.  It was a unique experience to be that close to someone who knows how to channel the energy and spirit of life through her artistry and being.
