Jeanne and I had Christine Lavin to ourselves for about an hour. She sang a song about Tom Cruise giving her the willies, another about the study that came out last week proving NYC is the friendliest place in the world, another that rattled off bunch of recipies, etc., and talked up a storm. A very funny storm. I dueted with her on a stinky-fine version of "Sensitive New Age Guy".

She emailed Janis Ian while we were chatting and we were waiting for her to check in, but no such luck. Janis was no doubt seeing to some important folk icon business.

But many thanks to Ms. Lavin, and I promise I'll never address you as "Patty Larkin" ever again.
