I took a lot of thoughtful time writing a lengthy review. I tried to post it and it would not "take." You wrote there was an error in posting and to try later . What? Where are the words I wrote? Where is my original review? Please ask Ms. Gordon to contact me and I'll share my words with her if my "save" here was successful.
Who is running the show there, anyway? This is not for posting. My original review, which you apparently lost, was filled with praise about the Doc. Yes, I am not happy. Please find my review. Ms. Gordon and the late Mr. Dudley Williams touched me profoundly.
I would love to correspond with Ms. Gordon as I, deeply understood her when she said, "I'm not ready to say, 'goodbye.' I'm ready to say, 'hello.' " I wrote so much more about the song Mr. Williams he discovered and it changed his life. "A Song For You" by Leon Russell is MY song, too. Nothing else in this world reaches me in the place found by that utterly gorgeous lyric and melody. Ailey loved it too and he and Williams choreographed a dance piece to that miracle. My original review went into specific detail about the ways in which that same song changed me forever in a beautiful way as it brought back vivid memories of my great Love from 4 decades ago. "I love you in a space where there's no place and time. I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine. And when my life is over, remember we were together. This is my Song and I'm singing it just to you. You taught me precious secrets, with-holding nothing. You came out in front while I was hiding..." A Miracle, Mr. Williams playing that particular song. I have listened to it every day for months as I feel the presence of my kind and caring Love. In the 1980s I renting a room in the building where Mr. Ailey lived as his life was fading: Central Park West at 106th.
Thank you for Westbeth and the good folks who generously shared their lives with us. I am so very grateful. Ms. Gordon - send a note to me, please. I felt a connection with you as frightening as that might sound these days. This is the first time I have ever written publicly. Let all be well.
