To rip off Justin Timberlake a bit..."you're VIP, so your drink was on me!" I'm just glad you were there, otherwise I knew NONE of those peeps at the bar! That's why the bartender became my best friend! But you really are my favorite pianist. And you should play Derek Oles Thirteen song at Cafe Met for sure...that and your version of It Could Happen to You!
