Bobby Short

It has been a very bad last few months for quintessential New Yorkers with George Plimpton and Jerry Orbach leaving the scene. Now with the news that Bobby Short has joined them, it is an especially poignant bechmark. His enthusiatic approach to his music was a splendid tribute to a world that is quickly disappearing. While we can't revel in nostalgia, it is hard to believe that an era of grace and fun has passed with him. R.I.P Mr. Short. You brought us many smiles and great entertainment.
