My buddy and fellow Gypsy Emeritus, Miriam Birch has made it to the finals in the Great Cabaret Idol contest!
We'll be in the house cheering her on Sunday night. Looks like it may already be a sold-out house, but you can go to www.facebook.com/cabaretidol.
Once there, "like" the page, and get updates on show times, dates and guest judges for the week.
If you message James on www.facebook.com/cabaretidol, give (1) your name (2) how many tickets you would like and (3) that you are coming to support Miriam Birch.
Now the not so good news.
John Leslie Passed Away Monday, December 6, 2010
John was a major adult film actor appearing in close to 300 films and one of the first adult film actors who made a successful transition to director. John unexpectedly died at home of an apparent heart attack. Friends were not aware of health issues and remarked he had reported to work shortly before his death.
John was also known for his skill as a blues musician, cook and artist. John was a youthful 65.
I loved those guys - as did my best bud, Howie aka Richard Pacheko. Here's what he had to say.
John Leslie - Extra Crispy
Just returned from the crematorium where I stood next to John's wife, his best friend Joey, and his dog Holmes as we all held each other up, said good-bye and then watched as they loaded his shell into a very big oven. It kinda looked like an industrial, working-class, MRI machine. Never saw one of those ovens before. Don't really care if I never see another one again.
On the way back across the Bay, I listen to the John Leslie Blues Band on a CD. It's very comforting to hear John's voice again. I will have to get used to the idea that there will be no more new conversations.
John will be missed by family, friends and fans.
