On Saturday evening, my living room became the Cafe' Carlyle, the famous Carlyle Hotel...and Bobby Short , the famous pianist that played there for over 30 years, was the guest pianist...or so it seemed. From classics like As Time Goes By, to current music by Maroon 5, our guests were entertained with the finest of "keymanship"....and the mood was set to celebrate life at its best (even for a little while). Morgan Bouldin is a beautiful musician....with composure, style, and an amazing talent to bring one's piano to life, the very second he sits at it.
I am very hopeful to invite him back for an evening during the upcoming holidays.....it would be a very "cool Yule" if he could return.
Book him!

Dear Peter, you are so kind! Wow, we all had a great time, it is such a pleasure to perform for quintessential "music lovers". I didn't want to stop, Lou Rawls recorded a famous song entitled "Groovy People", that is how I felt around such a gracious and appreciative group. The Cafe Carlyle was bouncing with beautiful vibes and warmth. Next time I will certainly have "The Way We Were" and anything else you desire ready to go. Much love to you all ❤️❤️
