You'll never guess who I just saw on the street? Broadway, just south of 18th, on the east side?
Him! What's his name! That ... that ... that ... guy!
I couldn't believe my eyes! I'd seen him on stage recently, with my fabulous and gorgeous new sidekick, where we both ogled his leather-encased thighs and his general Latinosity, and swooned at the way he manipulated his electric violin, but here he was, not two feet away from me — yes, in leather pants, and yes, it was he because I could identify him even with his eyes hidden behind sunglasses, just by his strangely sexy slightly gap-toothed smile — arm in arm with some chick also clad in leather pants ... yet I said nothing!
I have spoken to him in the past, I have exchanged grins with him, and I think even hugged him, but for the life of me all I could think was, It's Juan de Jesus Lickmyviola! Oh my god, it's Juan de Jesus, yes, Lickmyviola! That Juan de Jesus! Lick ... my ...
... viola.
But of course that's not his real name, it's the name we gave him that makes me giggle like a 12-year-old, and by the time I remembered his real name, he was more than half a block away, completely unaware that my head was host to a feverish struggle to remember what the hell his real name was so I could act all cool about running into him on the street.
Instead, the whole way home, I hummed to myself, Juan de Je-su-u-uuuss ... lick ... my ... vi-i-i-o-o-o-laaaa....
Reeeeal smooth.
fresh-baked at 03:20 PMYanni. Gee, with any luck you may also one day see that other musical heartthrob, Kenny G!
Bwahahahaha-
Yanni makes the Muzak that makes elevator rides such fun.
Even better than Yanni - AND Lorenzo De Jesus - is "Giovanni" who pretends to be foreign and play music (simultaneously) on the Home Shopping Channel around this time of year. They bring a piano onto the set and everything, so that he can pretend to play his songs, but the music fades out at the end, or sometimes it keeps going even after he's stopped. Then he talks in a vague accent. Truly a remarkable performer.

Offered by: Tanya on November 26, 2002 11:53 PMAs ashamed as I am to admit it, I know who alex is talking about. However, my shame is lessened in context to being someone who oggles Yanni.
And I think Leo is projecting Yanni-lust, but that's just *my* opinion.

Offered by: Joan on November 26, 2002 6:56 PMBefore you get a slew of comments asking who the person was, I'll tell them who it was.
Yanni.
Yes, not many people know he's Latin or that he enjoys the pleasure of leather pants, but Yanni's a complicated, complicated man.
