Saturday night (10/20) I was at the North Fork Theatre at Westbury for "Hot Autumn Night" featuring The Buckinghams, The Grass Roots, My friend Micky Dolenz, and Tommy James and the Shondells. I got the tickets at the last minute and ended up with seats in the last row. I was reminded by the experience that at Westbury, there are no bad seats in the whole house! I've seen many shows there thru the years, and have had a great time, every time. The fact is that tickets in the back at Westbury are better than tickets in the front at alot of other venues. I met many Q listeners at the show. It's always great to see you. If you ever see me, anywhere, please say Hi!
TRIVIA!
