Met Ben at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in the 80's when he came here; a more down to earth entertainer you cannot imagine. His good friend Dionne Warwick had been entertaining here around the same time. Watched one of his New Year's shows in the 70's, he can do it all! Aloha and Mahalo and Malama,
Ben Vereen.

Just a correction, The New York High School of Performing Arts (known amongst it's alumni as P.A.) did not close in 1984. The school merged with The High School of Music and Art and moved to a new location behind Lincoln Center on Amsterdam Avenue. The merged school is now called Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Taurus

Get involved in financial transactions at your peril under today's Lunar Eclipse, because certain people will use them as a stick to beat you with. For instance, if you ask someone to lend you money they'll either make you feel guilty about it or dredge up all sorts of past instances when their trust was betrayed. You would also be well advised to avoid any show of possessiveness or jealousy, even if you feel it, unless you truly don't care about the disastrous outcome.
