hi everyone, i am writing this on board  a 747 heading home from a trip to Prague, and Paris. I went to Prague to perform with Lou Reed at a very special event. It was a gala event celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Velvet Revolution and the fall of the Iron Curtain. It was held by former President Vaclav Havel, who invited Lou, Joan Baez, Suzanne Vega and Renee Fleming to perform.
