Playlist For Sunday, July 30, 2023: Sand (still) In My Stilettos

My car has about a pound of sand it in, now that the boogie board and umbrella and beach chairs have shed their "souvenirs". My toes not quite so much, but if I close my eyes, I can still hear the surf pounding away and the life guards' whistles (the utilitarian whistles at my age...nothing more). A week spent at "The Shore" will do that to a person. (Along with a fire-y sunburn and bleached hair.)

So I'm not exactly back to Homestead Reality. Yet. You know: The un-mown lawn looms like a turkey vulture, the un-paid bills glare at me sideways, and the 5 pounds that the lobster carbonara put on? Yeah, that sort of Reality. 

But Broadway we must! That "pick yourself up, dust yourself off" (well, SAND yourself off) mentality, right? And because I was OFF WORK for so long (What month is this? On my drive home, I actually thought it was still June), we missed a few important natal days and anniversaries. So this Sunday we celebrate (just TRY and stop me!):

 

 Jerry Herman, seen here with one of his favorite performers, 

Charles Nelson Reilly
 

Laura Benanti

 

Jack Gilford

 

Audra McDonald

 

 Betty Buckley

 

 

and...A Chorus Line! Yup, the whole musical had a birthday. :)

 

So it's a Birthday Huzzah Edition. Plus a couple of wacky themes that I know you've come to expect from 2 On The Aisle. Tune in and see if I can remember what buttons to push and when to push 'em this Sunday.  And as always, thanks for listening, even when those pesky Summer schedules pull us hither and yon.

Glad to be back!
