Loide came to New York a few weeks ago and sang (beautifully I might add) at this amazing tribute to
Miriam Makeba. What an event!
Here's Loide and I after the concert.
Somehow Sarah and I scored these amazing seats right in front of the stage. How lucky are we?!?
This guy played only using shells...very talented.
Another spoken word performer. He was great!
And there was a special guest...Paul Simon! I mean, he's getting old, but he still sounded the exact same. He and Miriam were great friends and he kept saying how honored he was to be singing at this tribute.
Another amazing guest...Harry Belafonte! Talk about a dignified man. He was the epitome of grace and class. He gave a beautiful tribute that brought most of us to tears. It was very moving.

And here's Loide performing. She did a really great job!
I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to go - thanks Loide and thanks Miriam because without her passing, these great artists from around the world wouldn't have been organized together for the show.

Sometimes when I think of you living in far off NYC - I get a bit lonely for you, but WOW such cool opportunities!! Way to go Loida!!
