Living in Manhattan for over 25 years makes me feel that it is "my" town, my very own, because I've never lived so long in one place before.  And what a place!  So full of excitement and opportunity.  A place where anything can happen ... yet where anyone can feel at home, from the kid with a kazoo on Sheep's Meadow to the Pakistani cabbie humming Gershwin.  A place where the likes of Willis Conover and John Hammond made me feel at home from the start.

I feel privileged to live 35 flights up (which I climb for cost-free fitness), with a bird's eye view of half the city, from Madame Tussaud's to Miss Liberty.  Free to fly away, but always happy to return to our nest in the clouds, our favorite people, sunsets on the Hudson, and my favorite nooks.

There have also been, of course, less pleasant experiences, but I try to think of them only as experiences that have taught me something useful.  No hard feelings at all. To celebrate this little quarter-century of mine, I've written several songs for Manhattan, as a humble Thank You to a great city.
