The greatest cabaret singer of all times!

A close friend and I had a table right next to the piano for what would end up being one of Short's final shows at The Carlyle. We chatted him up briefly afterwards, and he was exactly the same offstage as on - witty, impossibly debonnaire, and a bit haughty (in a good way). 20 years on, we still talk about that show, and regard going to see it as one of the smartest moves we ever made. Short was truly one of a kind.
