Yes, Woody was there.

A new company has purchased the Carlyle and the new policy is, "Everyone
pays the cover."  The musicians can no longer sign you in.  They cannot even
bring their wives.

Cover is $50 at the bar & $75 at a table.

We sat at the bar.  I had one glass of sparkling water with a lime & my
daughter Molly had one glass of wine.  Our tab was $160.

After I played & Molly sang a number, the manager voided the credit card
which we had already paid.  He invited us to come back anytime.

Molly sang "Oh Daddy" & was spectacular.
