Dreaming Lower East Side

Lying back on my recliner I flipped on Jonathan Schwartz who plays classic jazz tunes on his radio show interspersed with some classic rock I feel relaxed - having seen the latest Woody Allan movie Here on the Lower East Side I do my dreaming Joy after going to the movies with a female friend from my building This city will provide one with sustenance if you choose your actions carefully I even have tried to draw! Well you can try what you like but the city is full of masters - great artists, dancers and singers The city has plenty to offer so enrich yourself if you decide to live in or visit Gotham - "Baghdad on the Hudson" as O.Henry used to cal it!
