Playlist For Sunday, Jan. 31, 2021: The Eyes Have It (Or Not!)

Well, the Body Parts are all tucked away. Last week's edition was fun, inspired perhaps by the fact that come February, I will go "under the knife" and get a cataract peeled or excised or erased from my left eyeball (so maybe I was just getting in the mood to be sliced). I've already had my right one done, so I know it's no big deal. Actually, the anesthesiologist for that first procedure asked me what type of music I liked (aiming at giving me a pleasurable experience whilst semi-conscious, I guess) and I, of course, said Broadway! He diabolically picked Sweeney Todd (think long knives, blood, and meat pies, right?). I got the joke mid-op, but couldn't he have played the original cast recording? Harrumph.

This is another kind of cataract. :) I like this one better. Couldn't I have THIS one?

Anyhoo, I'll be soooo much better at radio when I can see the buttons and the lights and all the other gizmos in the studio after this! I will nary make a production mistake. Well, as long as my brain cooperates. I may have had a "cataract" on THAT body part for quite a few years. Meanwhile I will take 1 Sunday off (2/7/21) to heal and may even get to work a new fashion eye patch (AND a mask???) for a couple of hours. I'll be back in time for Theeee Valentines Day Edition tho, so feel free to shower me with posies, pearls, and/or peanut brittle, come the 14th. Or just a simple diamond (they ARE a girl's best friend!) :))))

Sheesh! They'll make anything into a Valentine.

 But THIS Sunday, I must hang around and celebrate the birthdays of Nathan and Elaine and Tammy. Plus we'll dip our respective toes in the revival of Little Me with Marty and Faith. Plus those irritating little themes I tend to dream up (a little bit of luck...and no dearth of dancing!). So sit down, show up, tune in, and belly up (to the bar) for Broadway.  BYOMP, BTW (Bring Your Own Meat Pie)!
