| I’ve played that game with Annie Oakleys and Sweeneys. Also anytime something starts on Sirius that has had a revival, we play “How fast can you tell which version?” Laura, ready for another fun day of triple digits |

| It reminds me of the old days, when my friend Gary and I, high school bests, lived far apart and called each other long distance after 11 p.m. to save money. We wouldn't play a guessing game, but we would sometimes do what Gary called "Comparative Literature," in which I would play various Roses doing "Rose's Turn"--back then there were only Merman, Lansbury, and, I think I had the film. SImple pleasures. How I wish he were still with us. When I moved to Ithaca, I could visit him in Cobble Hill and we would go to the theatre after he got off work at Macy's (he was an editor in the advertising department). I think the last two shows he saw were "Falsettos" (which he loved) and the last we saw together was the Goodspeed transfer (yes?) of "The Most Happy Fella" (with the piano reduction). He was especially taken with Liz Larsen's Cleo--"a nice person," he said. By then, "niceness" far outweighed "trendiness" for both of us. After he died, I thought I could never go back to NY--but I did, and the first show I saw (on my own, alone) was Chita Rivera et. al. in "Kiss of the Spider Woman." How he would have loved it--we also saw, on a whim, "Jerry's Girls," when a tour director outside the theatre offered us a couple extras he had for $20 each (imagine!) in the orchestra. I remember Chita entering in lavender to to do "Wherever He Ain't." Gary gripped my knee in excitement. While the show closed the next week (we saw the last show before Chita's accident), we had a wonderful time. |
