This week's issue of Gay City News features a profile of resident Gerald Busby. Gerald will soon turn 
70 and plans to celebrate with a big birthday bash at Carnegie Hall.
In 1977, while near Chicago filming a role in Robert Altman’s “A Wedding,” the 42-year old composer met the love of his life, Sam Byers, 27. When shooting concluded, Busby and Byers moved into New York’s Chelsea Hotel, where Thomson lived and held court.
For a while, the couple lived right above Thomson’s bedroom. Then they moved to room 510, their apartment for 17 years, and invited Virgil almost weekly for Saturday night dinners. The circle of connections continued to grow.
