Michael Santora is someone I knew fondly and casually and really very little yesterday. Nice guy, boyfriend of one of my dear friends, good buddy of Peter's. I knew he had a beautiful voice, sweet nature, funny wit. Michael has done some singing for me and will be included in one of the upcoming recording sessions for the "Miracle Time" CD.
Well, today Michael Santora and I had lunch together. We've never had the time to talk just us about anything. And it was a fantastic experience. We jabbered and fretted about everything and discovered layers of common experience that astonished me. And wow, we could not be more different. He's a tall, young, dark, heterosexual ex-football player and I am not. But discovering who he is today was unexpected and fascinating and lovely. What a deeply feeling, emotionally articulate, wonderful man.
Don't get me wrong. I have always thought Michael a great guy. But I didn't know he is a GREAT guy. And he will do beautiful things. I can't wait to watch.
