Can you feel it coming in the air tonight? Well these two YouTubers, called TwinsthenewTrend, got a surprise when they had their first time hearing Phil Collinsā āIn the Air Tonightā. Watch and wait for the drums!
I wish I could go back in time and hear these great tracks for the first time too.
NEW YORK STORIES
Sal Salomon is a man who has been to prison; spent a year in a homeless shelter; had 3 brothers, his father and mother die in a 7 month period; but can still find āvibrations of happinessā ā especially when he sings.
Sal is a child of 1970s Hellās Kitchen. He was brought up in an era where the Westies still had a significant hold on the area, and as he puts it: āyou got to know the Irish mob pretty well and I wound up getting in trouble at an early age.ā The big trouble came when he was 19.
THE BOYS ARE BACKā¦
There can be no better sign of hope than when the boys are back in action at Flaming Saddles. Theyāve re-opened on 9th Avenue. Owner Jacqui Squatriglia tells us that they are open 4-11 Monday to Thursday, with weekend hours noon-11pm Friday to Sunday.
