Dear Readers:  
CABARET ON THE GREEN AT AJ'S LAST SATURDAY:
Another very busy night for Cabaret On The Green with a fabulous audience including JOHN EDMONDS & CAROL were there as well as our new fans JOHN DANCER & MIMI, if you remember she is the woman who got up and danced a while back. We only had 12 singers but they were all wonderful with some special surprises and most stayed to sing 3 songs. JOEL BAKER and his 3 songs were "Pick Yourself Up". "Everyone Wants To Be To Be Sondheim", "Moon Dance", and a new I'd never heard before called "Piano Picker", and mine were "Embraceable You", "Where Or When", "Love Me Or Leave Me", and "Old Friend", then two locals from numerous theater productions you probably  saw, REVAE REYNOLDS doing "Here's That Rainy Day", and "When Sunny Gets Blue", and another local you've seen as well, JUDI RUSSO with her songs, "Almost Real", and "Someone To Watch Over Me", and back from his extended vacation we had ALAN JON who sang "Don't You Know", "My Favorite Year", "Stardust", and "Surrender", next we had PAT MCCANN with a JEROME KERN & JOHNNY MERCER Song, "Dearly Beloved", then "What Is This Thing Called Love", also there we had ART  BRIGMAN doing one of his signature songs "For Once In My Life" and I swear, sitting one table back from the front we had 3 new people in the audience, 2 men and a woman I'd say in her 20's and she started doing a video on her cell phone of him and was crying, honest story. After Art we had NONI LAMBERTSON with "Why Was I Born", and "Not Too Young to Love", also there with Revae and Judi was CAROL MARCUSE and her amazing soprano voice doing "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man Of Mine", and "Summertime" and also at their table was our friend LU RECTOR who sang "Maybe If I Sing Cole Porter", and "I Can't Be New". Then finally back from Portland for the season is RUTHANN DE LA VEGA and two great songs "Waltz For Debbie", "Cottage For Sale", and funny thing, I gave Noni a ride home and on the radio they played "Cottage For Sale" sung by DINAH WASHINGTON. And MATT BORZELLO dropped in to sing "If She Walked Into My Life Today", plus MICHAEL BLAKE also came in and sang "All Or Nothing At All", and even TONY DE SIENA got to sing 3 songs, "You've Changed", "God Bless The Child", and "When I Fall In Love". What do you think of that for a fantastic night at AJ'S ON THE GREEN with the best singers in the desert. Joel will be gone next Saturday but filling in we'll have another one of the desert's best accompanist, WAYNE ABRAVANEL.    
And we hope you'll be the this Saturday with many more of the desert's best singers. Come out and watch or if you are a great singer and want to be in the show, get there around 6:30 to sign up. Bring your sheet music if you can.   
 
Reservation for dinner and seating in main room recommended.
 
HERE'S A GOOD TIP: Reservations are a good idea for dinning in the showroom. But if you get the answering machine do not leave a reservation on it. But call after 5 PM and press '1' at the end of the message and it will transfer to the bar where it will be answered by a real person who will take your reservations. DO NOT LEAVE RESERVATIONS ON THE ANSWERING MACHINE! 

PLEASE, won't you click  YELP US and tell your friends too that we have the best singers in town and we do it LIVE!  EVERY YELP HELPS
 
AJ'S NOTE: There is a HUGE parking lot just past the front lot on your left. Remember to make reservations and see you next time.

FOR THIS COMING SEASON'S SHOWS 

DO YOU REMEMBER THURSDAY NIGHTS IN THE  
TEN20 LOUNGE AT THE BEAUTIFUL BEL AGE HOTEL  
IN WEST HOLLYWOOD?

IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY BUT IT WAS REALLY AROUND 2003 - 2006. THE NIGHT STARTED WITH "THE GUEST STARS SHOWCASE" AND 4 PERFORMERS DOING A SHORT SET AROUND 15 MINUTES AND 3 TO 4 SONGS. RON SNYDER, THE HOUSE PIANIST, PLAYED FOR THEM AND AFTER A SHORT BREAK WE CONTINUED THE NIGHT WITH OPEN MIC. IT REALLY WAS A FABULOUS ROOM WITH GREAT FOOD, GORGEOUS BABY GRAND, AND THAT VIEW! 

I HAD SO MANY DIGITAL PHOTOS FROM THOSE NIGHTS BUT LOST THEM WHEN MY COMPUTER DIED ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO. BUT I RECENTLY FOUND THE PAPTER PROGRAM I PUT TOGETHER FROM THE VERY LAST NIGHT THERE AFTER THE HOTEL WAS SOLD, IT'S NOW CALLED LONDON WEST. ANYWAY, I COMPILED A LIST OF ALL 383 GUEST STARS FROM THE 140 SHOWS ON A SPECIAL WEB PAGE IN CASE ANYONE WANTS TO SEE ALL THE INCREDIBLE SINGERS WHO CAME TO BE PART OF IT. I ALSO HAVE LOTS OF OLD "MINI - DVD'S" TAKEN OF A LOT OF THE SHOWS. ONCE I LEARN HOW TO TRANSFER THEM TO THE WEB I WILL POST THEM FOR YOU TO SEE.

THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS....!       

You can't change unpleasant things that have already happened. What you can do is forgive, and move on.

Forgive yourself, forgive others, and whoever and whatever caused it to happen. Forgive, and get beyond it.

The longer you carry a grudge, the heavier it gets. Forgiveness lightens your heart and unchains your soul.

It is a gift you give yourself. It brings peace, resolution and freedom. It puts you in control of how you feel. 

Use the power of forgiveness, be done with the pain of the past, and allow new joys to take their place. :)
