Hi Everyone,
Back 2009, we did a benefit for the “Breast Cancer Research Foundation” at the Nassau Coliseum. We did it on Valentine’s Day and, duh, I thought, let’s do “My Funny Valentine!
My band and I came up with a gorgeous arrangement of the song during our sound check. During the day, I was told that our friend Dave Koz was coming to the show. I called him and asked him if he’d come up on stage and do the song with us. He said yes, and we rehearsed it during the sound check.
Dave is amazingly talented. There’s no one like him. Wait until you hear him solo on the song. You’ll melt. I did.
The whole show was great, but I thought that was a standout.
Hope you enjoy it.
Love,
Barry

It’s called “Big Fun on Swing Street” and it’s very hard to find. It aired on CBS on March 7, 1988, a couple months after we released the “Swing Street” album.
Bruce, Jack and I wrote a concept hour fo...
