You never know what will happen at Mar-a-Lago — I – Latest News
B-day bash’s good tenor
Over hill and over dale I simply hit the sunny path. To Mar-a-Lago and back in 24 hours. Donald not there. I hear he’s been a little busy.
It was a celebration. Anthony Pratt’s. He threw it for himself. Forget shopping for the man a pair of crappy sneakers or a new tie.
He’s Australian. You see him in newspaper advertisements. The man takes trash — yours, mine, he’s not fussy — and his multimillion-dollar New York and in every single place mills flip that into good paper baggage. Buy one thing — even a raggy sweater from Amazon — and it’ll come wrapped in a recycled paper bag from billionaire Pratt’s mills. He’s the world’s largest privately owned in whatever-thehell you christen his business.
So this weekend he threw himself a small celebration. Maybe 300-or-more black-tie visitors. Steak. Champagne. Outdoors. Perfect darkish evening. Late. Only one lone star overhead.
It was a live performance. Live. He’d employed Andrea Bocelli — who doesn’t often do bar mitzvahs or commencement events. The evening, nonetheless. The viewers, surprised. Nine p.m. out got here Andrea Bocelli. Black tux trousers. Maroon jacket.
Understand, we’re not speaking Mel Tormé right here.
My desk included New Yorkers Francine Lefrak and Rick Friedberg.
Bocelli got here onto the platform escorted by his pianist and affiliate. Said nothing. Took no questions. Just sang for perhaps a half hour. Also — simply perhaps — not that anyone’s mentioning this, but additionally perhaps for an inch-and-a-half of C-notes.
So how did such a particular VIP reserving happen?

All speak radio
