Deian McBryde Quartet performing "Summertime" in Australia.
Backstory: We were doing a gig at a winery and I promised the guys "Anything but Summertime."
Of course, the wife of the winery owner had a request... In the end, I'm glad she did. I think it's one of the best
performances of Summertime I've given and so I'm thankful that someone bigger than me had a better idea than I did.
Deian McBryde with The Accidentals at 2003 World's AIDS Day in NYC.
Backstory: I've been good friends with Bill Mitchell from The Accidentals for awhile. I used
to perform every year for about 10 years at the W.A.D. event, Out of the Darkness, in New York. This was the last year
of the event before it was taken over by the NYC LGBT Center. I hoped to do something special and was thrilled when
The Accidentals agreed to sing with me on one of my favorite songs of rememberance and celebration, "Seasons of Love."
