Jay Van Vechten, retired NYC PR man and Chairman of the American Disabilities Foundation, Inc. celebrated his 75th birthday last night as only a former President of one of the top three PR networks in the world could. He put on a superlative Cabaret Show! It took place at the beautiful state of the art Wick Theatre in Boca Raton. The evening was headlined by Country Music royalty Nashvilles's Kellye Cash a former Miss America and niece of Johnny Cash. The exciting evening was directed by Johathan Van Dyke. It's probably in the genes, Kellye Cash is a first rate country singer with a captivating personality, one of those type of performers that an audience instantly falls in love with.

I guess you can say Jay Van Vechten is "connected" ( he handled the PR for Pope John's visit to the United States), some of the best Cabaret performers south of New York City turned out for his birthday. The Cabaret show was sponsored by the American Disabilities Foundation for the benefit of The Boating and Beach Bash For People with Disabilities of which Jay is a director.

The evening reminded me of the days when you had those great variety shows during the Golden Years of Television. A super talented celebrity host presenting a diversity of multitalented performers. It happened live at the Wick Theatre last night and these were the special singers and dancers who helped Jay Van Vechten celebrate his birthday and raise funds for the American Disabilities Foundations.

Kellye Cash, Sean McGibbon, Aaron Kemper, Rob Russell, Mason Pace, Meg Frost, Hot Shoe Shuffle Boys, Michael Walters, and Lois Sage.

Paul Reekie on Piano.
