This evening some of our great Greystone neighbors and Andy and I celebrated birthdays at the Grand Piano Bar in the East Village.
We met up with Terri and Jerry and Scott, Kelly and Melinda, who also celebrated a birthday this week. We had a delicious dinner (you can't beat the GPB for food and drinks!), then rocked to our favorite songs set to great piano music. Thanks to Scott, Kelly and Andy, Melinda and I were called up to the stage for a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and some good ol' humiliation! We pulled our chairs up on stage, and every time the singer sang a song starting with a B, I'd stand, then the next B word, I'd sit and Melinda would stand. This continued through "My Bonny Lies Over the Ocean," and all was good until "Bring back, oh bring back, oh bring back my Bonny to me!" And it was all lost from there! For the second verse, I lead the men in the room, while Melinda lead the women. Our ribbing was wrapped up with a restaurant-wide singing of Happy Birthday! As silly as it was, I had a blast! We both giggled! It could have been worse: we could have been one of the bachlorette's! I also had to giggle - after a conversation between the mom's about pediatricans and family doctors, a drink get delivered to our table. Our waitress explains that it's a "picnic," and it's from Brad and Marnie Loftus, a collegue of Andy's and our favorite doctor!! Who's doctor buys them drinks?!
We had an awesome night! My favorite song of the evening: either the Bon Jovi medley or "You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me Lucille." The piano players, direct from Michigan, we super and the company was outstanding! We're a pretty lucky family to be surrounded by such great neighbors!
The Devil ...
.. and Johnny! Very creative!
Andy and I. He might tell you differently, but Andy had a good time! He liked it!!!
Melinda and I on stage, totally Scott, Kelly & Andy's doing!
... not really sure if we're at "Bring" or "Back," or who should be standing!
