The news had to come sometime

It’s confirmed that Spalding Gray is dead.
For those that don’t know, Spalding Gray was a monologist. He told stories to people. It sounds simple, but he was a master. In today’s world of movies and TV, here was a man that could keep you spellbound with simply the sound of his voice.
Michele and I have seen him perform half a dozen times over the years. Each time was great and once I even shook his hand. We will miss Spalding.

  1. You once ad an extra ticket to see Spalding Gray when Michele couldn’t make it, so I was your date for the night. Although it was not the kind of event I would normally specifically seek out, I was very glad I went.
