Voted! Early voting in NYC is phenomenal. Arrived Voted! Early voting in NYC is phenomenal. Arrived 45 mins before polls opened & lines already blocks long, yet everyone patient & respectful. A special line for elders, free ‘pizza to the polls’, fantastic and generous! Inside was organized and smooth. Very proud of my city and fellow New Yorkers, the 3 hours I waited flew by. I hope you’ll join me in thanking our poll workers, volunteering their time so that we can vote! 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank YOU!! #earlyvoting #nyc #nycvotes #vote #thankyou #voteearly

A great light has gone out in Paris. My beloved, r A great light has gone out in Paris. My beloved, remarkable cousin, Dimitri Vicheney has passed away at age 96. I am heartbroken. We spoke last week on the phone & he sang a blues melody, promising next time we spoke I would play piano and he would sing. As memories flood I weep, and at the same time feel immense joy & gratitude for the gift of his presence on earth and in my life. Here we are together when I went to Paris to see him, he came to our concert full of life & joy! For me Dimitri is, was, a miracle, a living breathing connection to my long-lost family in France, a brilliant, elegant & refined gentleman who remembered my grandmother & my great uncle when everyone else was gone, a passionate musicologist & historian of American blues music. Until 2010 I didn’t even know he existed! Yet once we met, my heart exploded. I had the inexplicable feeling something larger than both of us had brought us together so many years after our families were separated. Dimitri is the reason I traveled to Paris so often in recent years, to spend time with this miraculous person, literally a walking encyclopedia both of the blues and of our family history. Name any blues song & he would tell you who wrote and recorded it, who was in the band & in what year. Kindred spirits in music, Dimitri introduced me to blues singers and gave me dozens of CDs, pointing me towards women pianist/singers/songwriters he thought would fit my voice. Always asking me when was I going to make a blues album? I took notes as he spoke, trying to keep up with his vast knowledge that spilled out of him so naturally. He couldn’t believe his lifelong love of blues & gospel echoed my own path in music, and each time we were together he mentioned what a remarkable turn of events that we would meet in this lifetime, asking how was it possible we hadn't met sooner? Dimitri will live on in my heart & in my music for the rest of my life. I love him too much to say goodbye, instead will say au revoir Dimitri, until we see one another again & you can sing while I play the piano. Je t’aime. Toujours.
