29 years ago today John Lennon was taken from us by a deranged fan in front of his home in NYC.
I was at a downtown hotel with musician friends of mine who were performing. The show was interupted by the awful announcement. We all shuffled, stunned and speechless out of that hotel lobby a while later into the night air. We were all holding hands, and we walked through the common following the sound of the sweet clear voice of a black man who sat alone on a bench singing one of the most poignant and moving versions of Give Peace a Chance that I have ever or will ever hear. I will always remember that night...where were you?
