34 years @ the Dresden.

Marty and Elayne 34th Anniversary @ the Dresden.

Singing with Marty and Elayne @ the Dresden.
Patrick sent a cell phone shot of me singing the old Motown hit Money with Marty and Elayne (Mr. Gordon Bash on bass) last Friday night.  Always a fun time at the Dresden.  Always a fun time singing with Marty and Elayne.  Oh, by the way, their 34th anniversary playing @ the Dresden will be celebrated on March 31st 2015.  They are charming beyond believe and are truly Hollywood!  If you can, please come on down and enjoy them next Tues. night @ the Dresden.   http://www.thedresden.com/

Marty and Elayne Keepin' the Hollywood Crowd Happy...

The young Hollywood crowd in the bar last night was amazing!  Every time Elayne finished with some of her keyboard mastery, or Vince played a lively bass solo, or, of course, Marty performed a song (in particular New York New York) the intimate crowd responded wildly.  Also, several guest singers stepped up to the the mic and sang with flare and gained approval of the Marty and Elayne fans...  Gordon Bash was back with his horn, and also played some bass ending the night with the Ray Charles classic "Let the Good Times Roll."  Terri and Gabriel poured amazing drinks while Rachel w/ Edith tended the crowd.  It wasn't the most packed Thursday night I've ever seen, but, it was brilliantly intimate.  In my tenure at the Dresden, I would say I have observed that's a forte of Marty and Elayne's - making it special for the individual/individuals who join us for drinks and fun.  Tomorrow night is Friday, and, everyone is welcome.  Yes, Marty and Elayne will be performing.
