Bryan Ferry signs CDs in New York



Click here to see video of Bryan Ferry signing CDs at J&R in lower Manhattan yesterday. Passers by thought we were in line to buy iPhones. Fools! Mr. Ferry very gracious and was forgiven for arriving a half-hour late in 90 degree weather.

Last night Ferry appeared on David Letterman for the first time since 1994 when he performed "Love Is the Drug," playing "Just Like Tom Thumb Blues" with Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra. This is a YouTube connection, so I don't know how long it will stay up.

Here's a wonderful site with clips of the tribute band Roxy Magic. Lead singer "Kevin" is a dead-ringer for Bryan.
