(*To the tune of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”)
How long has it been? Doesn’t really matter, because Deni and I are the kind of friends who might go 5 or 10 years without seeing each other, but when we get together we pick up where we left off. If you’re not familiar with our legacy, click HERE and scroll down to “J.P. Deni.”
The good news is, Deni’s coming to visit me during the first week of August. The bad news is, there is no bad news. Last time we saw each other was, I think, in 1994. It has been far too long. I also spoke with Karma on the phone on Saturday. She and I met in 1985 when we were music students at Ventura College. She’s a very talented singer for whom I have composed a number of pieces. She has lived in London for about five years I think. Anyway, on the phone the other day she said that she might be able to fly to Vienna when we’re there, and spend an afternoon with us. Imagine! I’ll be in Vienna with two beautiful opera singers!
This is turning out to be a very exciting summer.
I’m really looking forward to it. I’ll get to see you and Ville again and get to meet your lovely lady — although I feel I know her already after our talk on the phone.
ReplyDeleteIt’s so good to know that there’s someone aside from my loving spouse who accepts me exactly the way I am. That’s pretty darned rare these days.
