THE PIZZARELLI'S and MY LUCKY STARS...

John Pizzarelli & Jessica Molaskey

Lately, all I have to do is wish something, or simply mention it, and voila…there it is…

On a recent post I talked about the Pizzarelli’s, and the Carlyle Hotel in New York. Well, just like that, here I am at the legendary Carlyle Hotel in New York, with the famous Pizzarelli’s.

A generous friend put me up as her guest. The Carlyle is a swanky and truly old-school New York hotel. The Pizzarelli's perform in the elegant Café Carlyle, where you will find little pink lamps on the tables.

While my friend and I were traipsing through the lobby, chatting about agents, and my future as a writer, she said, “I just know you are going to make it Renee.” No sooner had she said that, we stopped in our tracks, in awe over the three gold stars on the door. “My lucky stars,” I gushed.

When I talked earlier about the stars aligning, I wasn’t kidding. If this keeps up, I should have an agent soon (especially since all I do is work in-between these posts). Becoming a celebrated, published author has been my dream for a long time. I want to share the message that life really is a banquet!

Allow the laws of attraction to work for you. Put something out there that you wish for or believe should happen for you, then see it to fruition.

Next post, I promise to say who the famous actor was, that I met in the elevator. Hint: he wasn’t wearing black…any guess?

By the way, the show was sensational, and you can check out everything Carlyle at http://www.thecarlyle.com/

See Woody Allen play the clarinet on Monday nights, and pictures of Jackie O on the walls.

THE NEW OLD SOUND OF MUSIC...

He’s been referred to as Ultra Cool, and Hip with a Wink….

His name is John Pizzarelli and he has a radio show called Radio Deluxe. This two hour, upscale jazz party (taped in his Manhattan living room) is indescribable, and unforgettable. The Boston Globe hailed John as “reinvigorating the Great American Song Book.” You can check http://www.radiodeluxe.com/ for times to tune in.

I have had the distinct pleasure of seeing John (who plays guitar and sings), his wife, the ever talented Jessica Molaskey http://www.jessicamolaskey.com/, and his father, the incomparable “Bucky” Pizzarelli, http://www.buckypizzarelli.com/ perform. They are the best high-heeled entertainment out there. The New Yorker calls the Pizzarelli family the “the von Trapps on Martini’s!”

These days John and his wife Jessica are performing at the world class, five star, Carlyle hotel in New York, at Café Carlyle. For a dreamy, classy and swanky night out, all you hepcats should grab a ticket and sashay over to 35 West 76th! I am tempted to stir up a batch of Manhattan’s, and meet you there….

Here is 86 years young Bucky Pizzarelli (right) performing recently at Tanglewood. The Pizzarelli’s are keeping old school alive in the 21st century….and staying ageless every beat of the way… Bravo!

Here is your invitation to join them~
