Speaking of Streisand, I played the fancy Jewish retirement home here in Portland last night (there's kind of a down in the dumps, one, too, which I also play--strangely it's right across the street from the nice one), and some nice old lady requested "Evergreen." Hadn't played/sung that in a long time, was fun to revisit it. I had to LOL when I first came in--another nice old lady screamed out, "What did you say your name was?" (I hadn't). I told her, and she said "Hoffman? Hoffman?" I repeated my name a little louder and she announced to the assemblage, "Oh, well
that's a nice Jewish name."
