    ON THE TOWN…. with CHIP DEFFAA , November 8, 2017

     I went to see Betty Buckley singing at Joe's Pub at the Public Theater. When she sang "Young at Heart" (by Carolyn Leigh and Johnny Richards), I felt like I'd been handed a gift. She sang with such concentration and conviction--as if she totally believed every word of that wondrous song--I could not help but share in her belief. I doubt I'll ever hear anyone sing that song "live" better. (The late Jimmy Durante used to perform that song wonderfully, in his own very different way, as of course did Frank Sinatra, who introduced it in the film of the same name.) That was, for me, the best moment I've experienced in any club this year, and I'm grateful.
