Thank you for sharing this, Paul; it a great reportage and the event itself is quite impressive. Lady Gaga seems like a nice lady :-)

Lately I've been trying a lot to be more practical about music, questioning the way I do it, trying to analyze trends, listening to some "know-it-all" guys on the internet and this story reminds me that music is more about playing it than thinking of it, that all the rationalization can actually be harmful, while just playing keeps the mind and the soul awake, as it does to Tony Bennett.
