When I warbled my new old standard, Auctions in New York, last November, I suggested that my first singing podcast would probably be my last. I have no doubt that my resolve to abort my career as a cabaret crooner met with general approval.
But I now find myself about to head out on the Westside Highway for what may turn out to be the last Metropolitan Museum press lunch presided over by the soon-to-be-legendary Philippe de Montebello. There’s just no other way to express my feelings but in song.
