Apr 26 DT's Roy Rowan on Life at 90, after Aaron Weinstein expertly jazzes up Gershwin on his violin
SPEAKER:
DTER ROY ROWAN:’s book,“Never Too Late: A 90-Year Old’s Pursuit of a Whirlwind Life,” –if you want to age gracefully into a quiet retirement this is NOT the book for you. ROY ROWAN, reporter extraordinaire, writer, and former Dutch Treat President, will discuss his book, which captures all of his energy, spirit, curiosity and wisdom. Packed with his vivid stories, from the civil war in China to cancer survival and anti-inflammatories, he gives us “… a how-to guide to growing older in great fashion” (Brian Williams, NBC News). “Do not go gentle,” Roy insists, “but live with the three E’s: Enthusiasm, Exertion and Energy.”

Genial wit, erudition, spell-binding musicianship – these are only some of the qualities that critics ascribe to AARON WEINSTEIN, 25-year-old master of the hot jazz violin. Winner of a 2011 Nightlife Award, Aaron has performed at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Birdland and other city hot spots, and recently recorded a new piece with John Pizziarelli. Hailed by Tony Bennett as “the Groucho of violin,” Aaron joins us in the midst of his new engagement, “Have Strings, Will Swing,” at The Metropolitan Room.
At the moment we are still uploading the video files (they take forever, and often fail, possibly because and when other things are unplugged from the computer doing the uploading, so have to be done at night if possible). When that is complete we will add description to the event, both of Aaron Weinstein's highly accomplished violin jazz and of Roy's talk, in which he gave his core advice on how to grow old without slowing down (always have plans, as he says an actress told him) and afterwards signed books. In our copy, we asked him to write the "secret of good writing". He wrote: The secret of good writing is good listening.
