the night a teenager's dream came true

It's that time of the year that I celebrate February 3rd. I was 17, and the person who influenced me the most, singer-songwriter, Melanie, personally took me into Carnegie Hall, when she learned that I didn't have any money or tickets for her sold-out show. I'm 67 now and still so grateful that she gave a teenager one of the greatest evenings of his life. It was a dream come true. She meant so much to me that she's ended up in all three of my books. Today we stay in touch via email;  and back in 2017, at a Salinas concert, she invited me onstage to tell the story of when she was 26, and at the height of her fame, walked arm-in-arm with me into Carnegie Hall. Another great evening with Melanie!
