Unbeknowst to me Mr. Jackson ended up backstage at Bethel Woods after a concert we went to this summer and got to talking with this gent...
Mr. Jackson complimented him on a wonderful concert and mentioned that we all should get together the next time he was in town. Then he remembered the invite to Willow's Ball and suggested that Sting and Trudi join us!
Sting chuckled, "The party where Johnny and Tony got into it last year?"
Mr. Jackson assured him that it was all a misunderstanding and besides Willow might like some musical entertainment. His response follows:
Mr. Jackson assured Sting that Willow Manor wasn't very far from New York City and he could be an Englishman anywhere.
Meanwhile I ordered my dress...
...and this lovely purse
and had everything shipped to the house last week. I am still waiting ....evidently the delivery truck had a bit of a brake problem and ended up rolling into the Hudson River as its driver was having his lunch in Hoboken.
I had to improvise as we were meeting Sting (Trudi had a conflict) at the helipad downtown and was told not to be late.So with flowers in hand for lovely Willow, we made our way to the ferry hoping the rain would hold off.
All the while a feeling deja vu surrounding me as I thought "How lucky am I ?"
For up to the minute details of the gala---fox trot, quick step or just walk on by....here!
