Consider this a public service announcement! You never know just who might show up at your public library! Tonight in Waterford, CT at their public library grammy award winner Michael Bolton was there to talk about his book The Soul of It All and entertain the crowd with stories of his career which has spanned many years. At times the mood of the room was so comfortable you felt like you were sitting with an old friend. Except I don’t have many old friends who can share amazing stories such as singing opera with Pavarotti or talk about meeting Clive Davis 40 years ago.
Michael also has quite the comic side to him and this was clearly shown when he did a few of his Rodney Dangerfield impersonations. When I came home and told my kids who I met they said “oh you mean the Captain Jack Sparrow guy from SNL?”. So from commercial jingles, to grammy awards, to opera in Italy with Pavarotti, to author, to the funny guy from SNL — there certainly is a lot going on and more to come. Michael said “he isn’t planning on growing up, it’s overrated”.
Sylvia. Your wee Scottish friend.
