Last Friday night was one for the ages.

Top props for my Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity brother Jason Greenberg (Phoenix Adjusters) for taking me to see, inter alia, our fraternity brother Robert Zimmerman perform at The Outlaw Music Festival at the beautiful Jones Beach Theater. 

With one exception, it was a perfectly entertaining night as we partied with my son Alex, his wife Jessica and others at Jason's special VIP stage side table.    

At some point, the Outlaw spirit overcame me and I found myself flashing wrist bands through numerous security check points on my way to a stage front photo opp of Zim (pictured).  I must say the covert journey was exciting and upon my return, I proudly shared my closeup pics at our table. 

Zim was in top voice and I recognized "Highway 61" and "All Along the Watchtower" in his long surprisingly energetic set.  

Between sets the question was raised as to why Willie Nelson closed the show and not the former.  

However, 92 year old Willie was clearly the peoples choice, as we sang and willed him along, virtually giving breath, as he croaked his standards with his seeming last gasps. 
I truly felt as if we were participating in an inspirational, survival of a train wreck, performance!

Speaking of train wrecks, while Jason and I gave rapt attention to the Outlaws, we were simultaneously (multi tasking) following a Yankee game on our phones and, just as the concert ended, we lost 13-12 in a horrible game only Rod Serling could have scripted.  

In sum, it was a most extraordinary night to remember. Thank you Jason and everyone else who made it happen.  It was a night like no other night!
