I knew when I asked Sidney Myer, a legendary comic performer here in NYC recently featured in the NY Times in an extensive article about the art of cabaret, to sing "Vacationing in Syria," in my show this past March that it would be very special. But until we all saw it with our own eyes, I had no idea how hilarious it would be.
In fact, we didn't even have a rehearsal. We briefly met at the piano just before the show, but mostly to clear up a few questions he had. Luckily, my friend Magda Katz was there with her video camera. So now I've made a short video using his performance as a teaser video for our new show coming on June 19.
It's only about a minute long, but you are getting the first glimpse. After this week, I go into full on marketing mode. Click if you dare...

And if you want to dive even further, my friend Blake found this disco version I did several years ago. I was still learning how to use my recording studio software so I was making all kinds of wacky recordings back then. I was also learning to use new graphic arts tools so I made a lyric video of it, too.

In other news, my dad will be laid to rest this week in Little Rock. Here is his memorial page if you wish to leave a comment. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/north-little-rock-ar/neil-schalchlin-12322524
For the many, many who have reached out with sympathy and stories and love, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. As I said before, I'm glad I was able to spend time with him over the past few years so that we could reconnect after many years apart. It was healing for me and for my family.
See ya next week!
