I went to hear Ellis at one of my favorite venues, Makor, in Manhattan. Ellis plays there 2-3 times of year, but unfortunately, this was his last show as Makor is relocating (to Tribeca). Ellis did point out that while he was one of their closiing acts, he will be one of the opening acts when Makor relocates.
The show was fabulous-though I can't say that I heard the opening act-my friend Norma and I had been planning on eating at Makor, but they had already closed down their restaurant, and so we hunted down some Chinese food, not wanting to hear Ellis (or drink any more wine) on an empty stomach.
Clearly, Ellis has been practicing the piano, and I enjoyed every minute of the show, in what has been a difficult year,.
Hope to be back on the board a bit more often!
