"I met Corky in
1960 in Rome Italy where she was studying Italiano.
We lost contact through the years.
It was so nice to
learn that City Cabaret had a website and brought me up to speed regarding her
performance schedule. I hope she will have a venue on the East coast somewhere.
Flute, harp, piano,
what expression, what a gift !
Regards,"
"Dottore" Ron C.

"Many years ago I
attended UCLA with Corky Hecht, now Corky Hale.
We
lived in the same sorority
house, and one evening, while sitting
around the living room, Corky
sat down at the piano and played a song
from an obscure jazz album I
owned, and I was blown away by her
ability to play the song
flawlessly. It was then that she told
me
she could hear a song once
and have it memorized. What a gift! So
few people are able to listen
to a piano recording and repeat it note
for note. I have never forgotten Corky, but I learned
in the early
1960s from her friend Andre Previn that she owned a dress shop on
Sunset Strip. I was living in Michigan at the time and
decided,
sadly, that she hadn't
pursued a musical career. A couple weeks
ago,
I was telling my 9 year old
grandson about Corky, and he asked me if
she still played music. That question led me to Google,
where I
learned from citycabaret.com that she had indeed continued her
musical career, with a
capital M. An email to citycabaret resulted
in Corky and I reconnecting,
and I am hoping to see her soon in Los
Angeles." -- Ann W.

“Thanks for the
bio on Corky, I met here years ago while working at the Hollywood Ranch Market,
a Mecca for entrainers! She was always so pleasant.
What is she doing know and doe she still live in California?” Mike M.

“Hello, Enjoyed looking at your site but I could
not find a discography there. Did I miss it? I hope you will put one up. I just
acquired my first Corky Hale album, the self-titled album on Gene Norman
Presents. Enjoying it very much!
If you send out email announcements please let me know
when you will be playing in Los Angeles.
Thank You,” Charles R., Los Angeles

"A few years ago we visited New York and went to Danny's to see a terrific performer, Corky Hale. Please tell them to have her back again. Where is she appearing these days?" Tess and Jerry H, Montclair, NJ
"I've been reading City Cabaret for the past few months and I simply must let you know: City Cabaret is great cabaret! Your words sing to me. When is Corky Hale coming back to New York?" Veronica Gentile, NY
"I recently had business in New York and decided to check out Corky Hale at Danny's. Business trips can be a downer but I found your article about Corky Hale in City Cabaret interesting because I used to shop at Hecht's. Anyway, I decided to give her a shot. It was the best part of my N.Y. trip. Her show was terrific. Incidentally, before going on other trips I'm also going to check out City Cabaret." Mark Danielson, NY
