Playlist For March 5, 2023: Did You Evah?

Alright, so I'm home. And here to stick, for awhile anyway. Because I've sort SPENT alllll the funds on a month-long vacation, and then some, so I'll be here at home, not shopping, not partying, not a lot of things. It was fun, it was real, it was real fun...so glad I did it (restaurants, theatre, flamenco, a Match date???, definitely stuck my toe in City Life), but now I'm poor and rural once again.

So that's why you'll be hearing lots of LIVE 2OTAs from me for awhile!  :)

And that's the reason for this week's theme: PARTY TIME. We can experience Broadway Parties without the expense or the hangovers. Double win! So Fasten Your Seatbelt, becuz Somebody's Going To Throw A Big Party...like The New Yorkers (Say It With Gin), Noel Coward (A Marvelous Party), Cabaret (Cabaret!)...even a big Carousel Clambake with Rochester's own Renee (Fleming). Plus a Rosemary Clooney corner. I'm sure she'll wear that fabulous, drippy black dress from White Christmas and make quite the entrance.

 

So party hats, punch bowls, balls, and gin martinis are in our musical future. Tune in and vicariously celebrate something. We'll pretend we're partying with Nick & Nora, Bing & Frank, Judy & Fred...and me & you. Poor, but partied. :)
