A few weeks ago I played guitar at a Burlesque benefit to save Coney Island (that's me in the background of the picture). Dewey said the public has a hard time getting together, but it from the looks of this benefit the public had no problem due to the entertainment involved. A sold out crowd including Marty Markowitz (the Brooklyn Borough President) came to see me play guitar... Yeah right, they were all there to see the ladies take their clothes off! We'll see what happens to Coney Island, but that night it was heartening to see so many different people ("freaks," as Marty lovingly addressed them) getting together to work for a common cause and raise money to help support Coney Island's civic groups.
