We did it! Another sold out night at
@carnegiehall in the books. Thank you to everyone who was a part of my show: The Hidden Soundtrack of America.
As I said onstage, WE get to choose the parts of America’s history that we celebrate.
Tailors, singers, builders, farmers, djelis, bards, princes, mothers, wives, sons, daughters, husbands…. People not often given a lot of choice, but who persisted and who make up the true tapestry of American culture. From all over the world from the very beginning, of disparate experiences, climates, and expectations, they quickly found that the best way to communicate is through music, dance and humanity. These are our best impulses and the things to celebrate the most.
