with
Michael Imperioli, formerly "Christopher" in Sopranos on HBO.
He is now one of the lead characters in ABC TV Series "Life
On Mars",
read my
poem about it!!!

Michael
C. Hall absolutely "killed" on Broadway, in "Chicago". I
am the biggest fan of HBO's "Six
Feet Under", and "Sopranos"
too, including this great
parody of it:)! |

a real sport, Joe
Torre didn't mind doing
this in the bathroom (!!!), at the Rainbow
Room, in NYC, during
Garth
Brooks' "Christmas
Special"!!! |

Garth made me laugh just in time for this shot... |

As I was running out of film, I told Gloria
Estefan and Jonathan
Butler that it would be cheaper this way!
We were doing doing Leonard
Bernstein's "West
Side Story", in NYC's Carnegie
Hall, with
Dave
Grusin's, and Mike
Abene's arrangements etc. |
|

|
| So I asked this guy "What's your name?". He said "I am Phil...". Later on I was told that this guy, Phil, was Phil Ramone! | |

at a fundraiser, Dr.
Ruth bought my CD. She did that 3 years in a row! Finally,
after she paid me for the 3rd one, I couldn't resist asking her
if she realized that it was the same Arkady, "The
Other Side" CD! She told me that she knew that, and she
was simply trying to set a good example for the other people at the
party! How sweet is that?! |

Letterman was pointing at Arkady...  |
|
 |
