During this surreal time we all are currently experiencing, Richard's Facebook Live broadcasts bring much-needed joy and connection at a time when many are surrendering to sadness and anxiety. And as if this isn't more than enough, Richard's great talent is a gift he lovingly shares with the world. I'm privileged to know Richard. He has secured a very special place in my heart. BRAVO, Richard Skipper!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to thank you again for such a fabulous interview with Lesley Ann Warren.&nbsp; I've been a huge fan ever since she played Cinderella back in 1965 and hearing her speak live was truly a thrill.&nbsp; You're a wonderful host (something that I've known for many years now) and I look forward to more of these podcasts.&nbsp; I wouldn't mind hearing an interview with Hugh Jackman!

</span> <span style="font-size: large;">― DOROTHY THOMPSON</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Happy Friday, March 27th, 2020! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">It is National Exchange Club Day. This day is celebrated today, on the anniversary of the founding of the first local Exchange Club, in Detroit, Michigan, in 1911. The second club was formed two years later in Toledo, Ohio. Two more clubs were formed—in Grand Rapids and Cleveland—and the National Exchange Club was then organized in 1917. It was formed by businessmen who wanted to exchange ideas and information on how to help and serve their communities. Women were not originally permitted, but were allowed starting in 1985.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">March 27 is the 85th day of the year . 281 days remain until the end of the year.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-size: large;">• 221 Days till Election Day! November 3rd! VOTE!!!!!!! (God willing) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">• 17th Day of #PhysicalDistancing </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">• <a href="https://kennyloggins.com/">Kenny Loggins</a>’ Footloose hit the charts on this day in 1984</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">• British actor/singer Joseph E. Coyne born (1867)</span><br />

</span> <span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><u>Name one thing you’ve learned about yourself during this time?</u></i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been reminded that, having grown up as a lonely only child, I can appreciate down time and entertain myself, though I've also been reaching out to friends and spending time on the phone and other ways to connect because none of us can get through this solo. Also, when a homeless man recently asked me for money and I actually gave it to him, I realized that perhaps I'm finally tapping a bit into my human side. I guess I've become Ebenezer Musto.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<span style="font-size: large;">The principal came over to me after the show and asked why I picked such a song.&nbsp;</span><br />

</span><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><u>How do you prepare for a performance?</u></i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Over the years I've learned that I need to prepare each performance differently. And, of course this depends what venue I'm playing at. If I'm booked to perform my Mel Torme` Show and it's all music, I ease up on the comedy and keep it very structured. I keep to the script of the show almost line by line, word for word, song by song. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg70Z8hFeLV4zDKsEtMoP_GoQgkXijhyFRrIKeeqCfoX0r-VIc3Axa8lanJGyJILeOE7MLa1c3LiY0ZEZ0WhziMQVkYULl837DJTn4DiwD5LRvDoNpX-KHuVIrfqyvsiLTsOHO47RCEccu7/s1600/_2npUSCf6mV.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg70Z8hFeLV4zDKsEtMoP_GoQgkXijhyFRrIKeeqCfoX0r-VIc3Axa8lanJGyJILeOE7MLa1c3LiY0ZEZ0WhziMQVkYULl837DJTn4DiwD5LRvDoNpX-KHuVIrfqyvsiLTsOHO47RCEccu7/s320/_2npUSCf6mV.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">If I'm doing "standup and music" now that's a different story. I improvise and "work" the audience throughout the show. Obviously, my band members are aware of this and they know I'm going to go off "script" and I'm going to ad-lib. However, I still keep to my structured show for that performance but, stay in tune so to speak</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"> so as to keep focused.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When I'm only booked for comedy, I keep it very structured except when I'm working an audience member. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I perform at many condo's, assisted living facilities, libraries, civic centers etc, it's important to bring the audience into your show.&nbsp;</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">They need to like you, love you. And that's true of any performance. Dana Lorge taught me that you've only got the first ten minutes of your show to get into the hearts of your audience. If you can do that, you"ll kill. She was right, and I think of her as I walk on stage to this day. Whatever little bit of success I've had is because what Dana taught me. She was a "present" that was given to me and will always remain in my heart. Both Richard and I had a real privilege to share her friendship and love. And performing on stage with her, was a dream come true.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This is a tough question. I'm a free spirit. I spend many hours working and rehearsing all the time. But I always didn't think that way. I need to be rehearsed, especially musically. I've learned that you can't feel comfortable on stage in front of an audience it you're not prepared.&nbsp;</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I've found very honestly, that as you get older it takes a little more time to prepare.&nbsp;</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I've learned that now I need to start rehearsing and planning well in advance of all of my material so that I'm ready to give every audience all that I've got. It's on thing to "wing" it when you have to but remember, you need the "chutzpah" to make it work. (I learned that from both <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004702/">Marty Allen</a> and <a href="https://travsd.wordpress.com/2019/05/07/remembering-totie-fields/">Totie Fields</a>).</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Without them, what would we do? To this day, and I've been performing for over four decades, whenever I'm in the audience I always say to myself&nbsp;"I wish I was up stage". I guess it all comes down to this. I try to be humble and when I perform, I hope the audience says, "he really made me forget all the problems of the world, my aches and pains and I'd just love him". I have a huge ego, but I'm really&nbsp;very nice and humble...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Because it's what we are made of.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Some people are meant to be doctors, teachers, train engineers and some are born to entertain. It's in our DNA. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">What would happen today if all the scientists who are trying to come up with a medication to stop this virus stopped working because they didn't have the drive and ambition to continue to do what they've been trained to do all their life?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">To kick off this series, I reached out to my friend Patricia Fitzpatrick.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><br />

<span style="font-family: &quot;times&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;">Born in Brooklyn NY 1941 – do the math! Fitzpatrick always knew she wanted to&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: &quot;times&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;">entertain an audience.&nbsp;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: &quot;times&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;">She and her sisters would produce live stage events, Sundays&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: &quot;times&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;">after Mass, at their childhood home in Malvern, Long Island.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: &quot;times&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;">At the age of 17, Fitzpatrick was ‘discovered’ by Celeste Holmes singing in a night club&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: &quot;times&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;">on Cape Cod. Holmes gave her a business card for a talent manager at MGM Records</span><br />
<span style="font-family: &quot;times&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;">in New York City. Under the stage name ‘Sandy Beach’, Fitzpatrick cut a demo record,&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: &quot;times&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;">at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brill_Building">Brill Building</a> for MGM.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Day! On Card Reading Day, celebrants read and enjoy greeting cards they have been sent over the years, which they have kept for sentimental reasons. Sometimes they give greeting cards on the day as well and thus may receive some cards from others that they can read. Some online holiday sites speculate this holiday may be about tarot cards, but the overwhelming majority of sites relate this holiday to greeting cards.</span><br />

<i style="font-size: x-large;">I feel so fortunate to have attended Richard Skipper's show “The Magic of Believing” at Urban Stages Theater. It was a beautifully crafted nostalgic tapestry of vivid storytelling, spot on musical numbers, and perfectly timed photographic images and videos. I loved the thought that a little boy with boundless energy and dreams performing on the front porch “stage” of his family home could take an audience full of adults on a hilarious and heartfelt journey to discovering the magic of believing. I’m still smiling. Thank you! </i><span style="font-size: large;">Bob Armstrong, NYC</span><br />

Happy December, Everyone! It is International Tea Day. December 15 is the 349th Day of the year. 16 days remain until the end of the year. It is National Egg Nog Month!&nbsp; On this day in 1944, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Miller">Glenn Miller</a> was due to fly from the United Kingdom to Paris&nbsp; to make arrangements to move his entire band there in the near future.<br />
His plane, a single-engine UC-64 Norseman, departed from RAF Twinwood Farm in Clapham, on the outskirts of Bedford, and disappeared while flying over the English Channel.Miller spent the last night before his disappearance at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Ernest_Hall">Milton Ernest Hall</a>, near Bedford. Miller's disappearance was not made public until December 24, 1944, when the Associated Press announced Miller would not be conducting the scheduled BBC-broadcast "AEF Christmas Show" the following day; the band's deputy leader <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Gray_(arranger)">Sgt. Jerry Gray</a> stood in for Miller.<br />
Today in 1969 John Lennon played what would be his final ever gig in the UK when he appeared at The Lyceum Ballroom, London, with the Plastic Ono Band in a UNICEF 'Peace For Christmas' benefit.<br />

<i> Los Angeles, and at the same time creating an entirely new show with Alex Rybeck for The Beach Café (Movie Nite). The shows were only 3 weeks apart. Having worked with <a href="http://www.richardskipper.com/">Richard Skipper </a>before and been blown away by his commitment and skill as a marketer, I nonetheless, decided to try to save a bit of money and do it myself this time. GREAT LESSON to be quickly reminded that trying to save money was draining my life energy with the amount of time and effort I was putting into doing something I’m not even good at, and best left to the experts.

<i>delegating the marketing to his more-than-capable hands left me time to fully immerse in my work as a performer -- and sleep. Yes, turns out sleep is important for performers. Not to mention he was far more effective. Thankfully he was available to jump in and take over for Movie Nite. And turns out spending the money (and he is extremely reasonable) saved me in the long run by making wiser decisions based on his advice, and the benefits of Richard’s work doesn’t end when the show is over. Oh no, it reverberates. He has become as essential to me as having a music director.

Richard Skipper's recent one man show, "From Conway to Broadway," is a wonderful, creative job of musical theatre storytelling. The mood, the pace, the songs and anecdotes--all made for a great evening of theatre. The Conway section brought back a lot of memories--Florence Epps and "Molly Brown" and his performances on the front steps of Conway High School. And his first experiences of New York were hilarious! Thanks for creating this show and sharing your talent and your story.</div>

1) <b><i>Barbra Streisand</i></b>. Barbra Streisand is always on my mind. She is one of my Holy Grail interviews. Barbra Streisand's impressive career spans over six decades and has garnered her great acclaim. She's won dozens of awards and is one of the few entertainers to collect an EGOT - an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award. Read this great article celebrating her career.<br />

Due to writing a show and LIFE, it has been a while since I sat down to write, but I felt a need to write about today's topic: <i>Cabarabia: Clifford Bell and Friends.</i> I've done several blogs over the years on Clifford's annual celebration of all things Barbra Streisand.<br />
From the Producer of "<b><i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Name_Is_Barbra">OUR NAME IS BARBR</a></i></b>A", now in our 22nd year!<br />

I saw this quote today and wanted to share it with you: <i>Early in life, we follow the path mapped out by ego, a path of ambition, competition, and striving. When midlife dawns, we too often find ourselves stranded in a lonely and desolate place we never intended to visit.&nbsp;</i><br />

<i>Our feelings of sadness and frustration tell us we took a wrong turn. Like a shift in the wind or a change in the tide, the yearning we feel at midlife is a call to renewal. The shift shows us the path home, the path to rediscovering our true self, our purpose, and the life of meaning that is our true calling</i>.-<a href="https://www.drwaynedyer.com/">Wayne Dyer&nbsp;</a><br />

June Is Bustin' Out All Over!<br />
June 26 is the 177th day of the year . 188 days remain until the end of the year.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
I feel radiant and glowing with happiness today. I]ve had a great month.<br />
Most recently, Sunday night, I went to Asbury Park for a celebration of Judy Garland's famed Carnegie Hall concert. It was great to see friends both on stage and in the audience. The evening was hosted by Lorna Luft and featured Joan Ellison, Debbie Gravette, Karen Mason, and Gabrielle Stravelli: all at the top of their game.<br />
They were all backed by a 41 piece orchestra. It was fun to see Jon Burr on bass, Ray Marchica on drums, and Don Rebic on piano.<br />
A full weekend of music. This past weekend also was the fiftieth anniversary of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judy_Garland">Judy Garland</a>'s<br />

The decisions I made worked out for the best. The first was hiring Eugene Gwozdz to be our musical director.&nbsp; Also, asking Raina Sabella to open for us. And what a cast I assembled: <a href="http://www.callondolly.com/charles-karel/">Charles Karel</a>, Nathan Robert Pecchia, Katie Dunn McGrath, Ann Kittredge, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burke_Moses">Burke Moses</a> (pictured below) !<br />

Let the good times roll!<br />
I like to split my time between lively activities with others and more cerebral ones I can do alone.<br />
Where does the time go? May was a great month, albeit a wet one!<br />
Now, it's time to gear up for June and today's blog is a celebration of what is on the horizon...<br />
<br />
My social calendar might be overwhelming with its demands today.<br />
Boredom is the one thing you can’t abide by.<br />
<br />
Today, I am celebrating the return of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GoldieDver">Goldie Dver</a> to cabaret after an absence to deal with life.&nbsp; I saw her opening night show and I highly recommend this show. She takes us on a poignant but upbeat celebration of life.<br />
She will be back at Don't Tell Mama tonight at 7PM.<br />
She will also be there tonight, but she is sold out!<br />
Music is the food of love.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>What is the first show you remember singing in and your thoughts around that?&nbsp;&nbsp;</u></i></b><br />
Ok - if we’re talking about the very first show?<br />
I was 6 yrs old - and we used to spend summers in Atlantic City - back when AC was an innocent, family oriented vacation spot.<br />
<br />
There was a weekly amateur show every <br />

Wednesday night at <a href="https://www.atlanticcitynj.com/media/whats-new/details.aspx?newsid=622">Garden Pier</a>, which was right next to the famous Steel Pier on the boardwalk.<br />
<br />
Garden Pier had a beautiful band shell, similar to the one in Central Park and it had seating for 1000 people.<br />
During the summer these talent nights were a big deal, and drew capacity crowds every week.<br />
The shows were run by a professional musician, “Uncle Harry”, who played piano and directed - and the lovely and gracious “Aunt Lucy”, who was the MC.<br />
<br />
The deal was - you auditioned on Wednesday afternoon and if they felt you were good enough - you were given a slot for that night’s show.<br />
I had already imagined myself to be Judy Garland or Connie Francis, and felt it was high time for me<br />

to be on stage!<br />
So one Wednesday afternoon I decided to leave the beach and walk the four blocks along the boardwalk, by myself, to audition.<br />
In those days I was actually allowed to walk on the boardwalk by myself, even at 6 yrs old - without the fear of being abducted, and without my mother being accused of child neglect.<br />
It really was a different world back then!<br />
I auditioned with the song “I’ll Follow The Boys”, which was a huge Connie Francis ballad at the time.<br />
And Uncle Harry gave me the thumbs up!<br />
<br />
But when I returned to the beach to tell the exciting news to my mother, she didn’t believe me! She thought I had been in the arcade playing pinball, which is where I usually was if I wasn’t on the beach.<br />

No matter how much I kept saying we had to have dinner early so we could get to Garden Pier by 7:00, and that she had to help me choose which dress to wear, etc - she just didn’t think I had even had the nerve to go all by myself to audition.<br />
<br />
Finally - just to stop what was becoming a full fledged melt done on my part - she got me dressed and took me to Garden Pier.<br />
I’ll never forget the look on her face when she found out that I was, in fact, scheduled to sing that night!!<br />
After the shock wore off she ran to the pay phone (it was a LONG time ago - lol) and called our apartment to tell everyone to come over immediately so they could see me sing.<br />

<br />
How magical it felt that night to sing with a pro pianist, and hear my voice coming through the microphone as it washed over that sea of smiling faces.&nbsp; And the intoxication of getting my first applause - OMFG!<br />
<br />
The performance bug bit me hard that night and has never lost its grip on my heart!<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Seen any great documentaries I have to see?&nbsp;</u></i></b><br />
I recently was captured by the documentary that was all about the year 1969 - it was the perfect combination of entertainment and information and was fascinating to watch.<br />
Even though I was only 14 at the time, I remember that year very well.<br />
<br />
It was one of the most important, socially pivotal years of our time.<br />

<br />
1969 was the year of Woodstock, Man’s first walk on the Moon, Judy Garland’s death and the ensuing Stonewall riots, Chappaquiddick, Major race riots across the country — and that was all just in one summer!<br />
The country seemed to be going through the same kind of growth and unrest as I was experiencing in my own life at the time.<br />

&nbsp;I wanted to do my show at DTM, which had always been like my cabaret home- and I wanted to call&nbsp; it “Back In Mama’s Arms”.<br />
I love the feel of that back room at Mama’s - and I adore connecting with<a href="https://www.broadwayworld.com/people/Sidney-Myer/"> Sidney Myer</a> again!<br />
I love him (who doesn’t?)<br />
He's always so helpful, and has made what can be a daunting experience as easy as possible.<br />
He’s a true champion of artists.<br />
<br />
I also feel that attitude and support extends through Tanya Moberly and the rest of the staff as well.<br />

<b><i><u>What has been the highlight of your day so far?&nbsp;</u></i></b><br />
Waking up!<br />
That’s always the highlight of my day! Everyday you wake up to bitch about something - it’s a good day!<br />
<b><i><u><br />
</u></i></b> <b><i><u>Are you reading anything right now that you love?&nbsp;</u></i></b><br />
These days I barely have the time to read my mail!<br />
But I love reading, and miss it. Lately I’ve gotten into reading biographies (especially autobiographies).<br />
There are a few that are on my immediate list -<br />
- “Becoming” (Michelle Obama)<br />
- “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pieces-Sally-Field/dp/1538763028">In Pieces” (Sally Field)</a><br />
- “<i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Whats-So-Funny-Hilarious-Life/dp/1476726531">Whats So Funny - My Hilarious Life</a></i>” (Tim Conway)<br />
- Watching the series “<a href="https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/shows/victoria/">VICTORIA</a>” has reawakened my fascination with the <a href="https://www.royal.uk/">British Monarchy</a>.<br />
So I’d like to read more about them, especially <a href="https://www.thoughtco.com/queen-elizabeth-ii-and-queen-victoria-3530297">Queens Victoria and Elizabeth</a>, and the whole Tudor line.<br />
I have several of them sitting on my iPad, waiting patiently for me to get to them (the books - not the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Tudor">Tudor’s</a> themselves - lol)<br />

lounge singer to national star, and the record’s success had led to film projects, such as the starring role, as a reckless rock star, in “<i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR6okRuOLc8">The Rose</a></i>” (1979), which earned Midler an Oscar nomination and spawned a hit single. But her follow-up film, the comedy “Jinxed!” (1982), famously flopped. She wrote a memoir, “A View From a Broad,” which was published in 1980 and well received, but her show-biz career was at an impasse.<br />
“I was waiting for something to happen, for something to come my way,” Midler told me recently by phone. One day, daydreaming at her home in Los Angeles, she came up with an idea for a children’s book: the origin story of a precocious baby, a tiny diva in the making, who combats self-doubt and learns to step into the limelight with the help of three heavily maquillage fairy godmothers. Midler shared the idea with her close friend Jerry Blatt, a composer and lyricist for “Sesame Street,” who had co-written Midler’s “Clams on the Half Shell Revue.” “In show-business parlance, he thought it had ‘legs,’ ” Midler told me.

I highly recommend him for a variety of positions; publicist, talk show host, mentor/teacher... also to name a few!!!</i><br />

<i>Richard Skipper's Facebook Live interview program from the YORK Theatre Oscar Hammerstein Awards Gala honoring Susan Stroman was great fun and Richard was, as always, a charming and skillful pro. I couldn’t help but think what a much needed service (and interesting and fun) it is for events like that one, smaller than the Tony Awards but important to many! And the Tony Awards and anyone else would be lucky to have Richard, too!</i><br />

April 26, 2019!<br />
April 26 is the 116th day of the year. 249 days remain until the end of the year.<br />
I want to take you back 30 years. I was 28 and living on my own in New York<br />
I was living on 33rd Street in Manhattan. I was up for a role in John Glines' new show, <i>Men of Manhattan</i> (which I got!). <br />

I was working at Marie's Crisis on Grove Street and I was dating a guy that died of AIDS several years after we broke up. Also, 30 years ago today, Lucille Ball passed away. That didn't seem possible. This incredible woman had been so much a part of my life for the first 28 years of my life adding so much laughter.&nbsp; Lucy was a 'friend'. She had been in our living rooms since the 50s.<br />
She was still there when I came along in 1961 and continues to be here.<br />
<i>I Love Lucy</i> was shown in the early evenings in syndication when I was growing up in South Carolina and we used to watch as we were getting ready for supper. No matter how many times we watched those shows, we still laughed at the same routines over and over.<br />
In the summer, <i>The Lucy Show</i> was on in the mornings and I used to watch all of them as well.<br />
<i>Here's Lucy</i> was on from 1968-1974. My grandmother Skipper had a color television and we used to watch there on Monday nights. When this series went off the air in 1974, I was 13 and depressed. Luckily for all of us, she was still contracted to do a few television specials. 1974 was also the year I made my stage debut and it was in <i>Mame</i>, the same year of the movie version starring Lucille Ball. I don't remember it coming to my home town. I didn't see it until it aired on NBC for the first time several years later.<br />
On September 26th, 1986, there was a lot of hoopla when Lucy returned to network television in <i>Life With Lucy</i>.<br />

This was her only television series not on CBS. It was on ABC.<br />
I was doing stock in Massachusetts. I settled into my hotel room and wanted to get a bite to eat. I ran across the Massachusetts turnpike to a restaurant across from the hotel, grabbed something to go, and almost got arrested trying to cross back over. The policeman told me I could've gotten killed but because I was from out of town, I didn't get arrested. All I had on my mind was Lucy's return to network television! Unfortunately, this series was short lived and that was sad. It was Lucy's first 'failure' as far as a series is concerned.<br />

November 5th, 1985 was a Tuesday night and like most of the country, I tuned in to Lucy's made for TV movie, <i>Stone Pillow</i>.<br />
It was anything but funny. It dealt with the homeless situation here in New York. It was sad to see Lucy like this but we were able to see what a great dramatic actress she was. She WAS a great dramatic actress. Watch <a href="https://youtu.be/2lfUfY49Y04"><i>The Big Street</i> </a>tonight opposite Henry Fonda.<br />
Not a trace of Lucy Ricardo in that performance!<br />
Lucille Ball also had a major impact on me in my life. My introduction to Carol Channing came through Lucy when she portrayed her on <i>The Lucy Show</i>.&nbsp; At first, I thought Carol was a fictitious character because of this way over the top portrayal. When I did discover Carol, a lifelong love affair began!<br />

Years later, I would see Carol Channing in Jamestown, Lucille Ball's home town, as part of the Lucy-Desi Days (May 26-28, 2000).&nbsp; It was also on that trip that I met Teensie and Weensie (from <i>I Love Lucy</i> episode <i>Tennessee Bound)</i>, The Borden Twins, and they became good friends of mine thanks to Glen Charlow.&nbsp; Roz and Marilyn were their actual names and they came to my show a few times when I was performing in San Francisco, AS Carol Channing! Roz went first, but Marilyn once had dinner at our home (May 30th, 2005 we celebrated their birthday), an evening I will never forget!<br />
Speaking of <a href="http://lucilleball.net/collection/1framesplit.html">Glen Charlow</a>, the biggest Lucy fan I know. He takes fan worship to a whole new level. His home is a virtual museum to Lucy. He is also featured in the A and E Biography of Lucille Ball.<br />

The truth is Lucy never left us. She is as vibrant in our lives today than she was even thirty five years ago.<br />
<br />
In June 1984, in New York , Lucy spoke at The Museum of Television and Radio and it is a huge disappointment that I didn't get there.<br />
The closest I came to seeing her LIVE was when I saw Diane Findlay portray her years ago in <i>I<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

The 61st Academy Awards ceremony, organized by the <a href="https://www.oscars.org/">Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences</a>&nbsp; was on March 29, 1989.&nbsp; That was Lucille Ball's last television appearance.

That year's broadcast was also produced by Alan Carr and is infamous because it included the bizarre opening of Rob Lowe and Snow White which probably put the nail in the coffin of production numbers at the Oscars.<br />

Lucille Ball last night to the iconic actress, comedian, model, producer and first woman executive to run a major television studio. The tribute honors the memory of the woman all American's loved, Lucy, on the 30th anniversary of her passing (April 26th, 1989). The President and Founder of The Hollywood Museum, Donelle Dadigan, was proud to announce the launch of the Lucille Ball Lobby Tribute, as special items related to the career and life of the Queen of Comedy were unveiled and highlighted in both the lobby and the "Redheads Only Room," where Max Factor created and perfected Lucy's<br />

<i>And looking out into the audience and seeing people like MAC nominee Leanne Borghesi, MAC winners Anita Gillette and Tim Cahill and the always supportive King of Positive Energy Richard Skipper didn't scare me like I thought it would .. it made me calm and strong. I am overwhelmed by the welcome this community has given me, a cabaret neophyte. Thank you, Georga Osborne for being the person who told me to just shut up and do it - some of the best advice I ever got.</i><br />
<i>I am really looking forward to my last two shows at <a href="https://www.donttellmamanyc.com/shows/main/5326-stephen-mosher-the-story-teller-5-1">Don't Tell Mama on May 1 and 7</a>. I can't wait to see what comes next.begging for more!"</i><br />

<i>I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy, and driven.</i><br />
-Barbra Streisand<br />
<br />
Today is Barbra Streisand's birthday and I have spent the day immersed in her music. She truly does make my soul soar. She is someone who should be celebrated daily and I don't think a day goes by in which I don't hear one of her songs.<br />
For the past few years around this time I write about impresario <a href="http://richardskipper.blogspot.com/2018/04/clifford-bell-and-barbra-party.html">Clifford Bell</a>'s LA celebration in LA for Project Angel Food. I was even asked to participate this year but due to my crazy schedule these days, I was unable to attend which kills me and it kills me even more because of the friends and cast that I'm missing by not being there. I think this should be done through Concert Window and they could make even more money!<br />
If you are in LA Sunday night, GO! GO!! GO!!! You will thank me and it's all for a good cause!<br />

<b><i>Daryl Sherman: A Breath of Spring Warming a Chilly April Night</i></b> by Marilyn Lester<br />
<br />
Singer-pianist Daryl Sherman has been a long-time fixture in the international and New York City jazz world.<br />
Her endurance as a favorite is well-founded in her talent and charm. She’s full of life, happy-go-lucky—a perennial breath of spring no matter what the season. Even the sourest of pusses can’t help but leave a Sherman performance smiling broadly. Read more <a href="https://nitelifeexchange.com/daryl-sherman-is-a-breath-of-spring/">here</a><br />

Kurt Glenn is making this petition to let the Roundabout Theatre Company know to produce this cult musical on Broadway for its 2019-20 or 2020-21 season. This is one of my most favorite musicals and I realize that Broadway haven't had a show that is provocative, sexy and dazzling since the revivals of "Chicago" and "Cabaret" (which Roundabout already did twice, in 1998 and 2014).<br />

<b><i><u>Tootsie Review</u></i></b><br />
We’ve all had that moment of genius, usually while getting stuck on TCM, when the brilliant idea reveals itself to us: This film really deserves a remake, an update stripped of archaic notions or bad hair and polished to a shiny modern sheen. Some movies all but demand it. Tootsie isn’t one. Sydney Pollack’s 1982 film starring Dustin Hoffman seems so perfectly of its time – right down to the blissful ignorance of its unexamined mansplaining – that any fiddling would seem as unnecessary as spray tan on a president.

year—and has returned to Broadway in a vibrant new production—will be celebrated at the 92Y May 4–6 as part of Lyrics and Lyricists.<br />
Rodgers and Hammerstein President Ted Chapin will host the presentations of A Beautiful Dawning—Oklahoma! at 75, which are directed by Parker Esse, with music direction by pianist Andy Einhorn.<br />
In addition to beloved songs from the score, Chapin will examine songs cut from the production during its pre-Broadway run, such as <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl9D5is7EWA">Boys and Girls Like You and Me</a></i> (later used in State Fair on Broadway), while also exploring Oklahoma's continued relevance 75 years after its history-making Broadway premiere.<br />

Speaking of <i>Oklahoma!</i>, Director Daniel Fish’s revisionist take on the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, Oklahoma!, is a vibrant, more modern rendering of the ground-breaking musical.&nbsp; Not everything the production has to offer works effectively, but there is enough on stage to reinvigorate and propel the show to satisfying heights.

<i>I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you come rain or come shine.</i><br />
― Johnny Mercer<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Monday, April 8th, 2019</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a while since I've sat down to write a blog. I've been busy! But I can't think of a better subject to write about.&nbsp;</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq34Xeop4oB2Oo9ZWIYINi1qNpKpbr5j0pogsJ6YTnWEUeVVK2YNJnNHgjHdoRcyB73hV0HmFnsrg7pgVIfc4jNMVFKJvnqzF1EFUEYH4x69XFmg2fQX93ZvfcpGU7flw5bLJv3Vjomou5/s1600/ROSE_MAY_10TH_SHOW_8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="778" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq34Xeop4oB2Oo9ZWIYINi1qNpKpbr5j0pogsJ6YTnWEUeVVK2YNJnNHgjHdoRcyB73hV0HmFnsrg7pgVIfc4jNMVFKJvnqzF1EFUEYH4x69XFmg2fQX93ZvfcpGU7flw5bLJv3Vjomou5/s320/ROSE_MAY_10TH_SHOW_8.jpg" width="247" /></a></div>
One of the wonderful things about social media is that from time to time, people come into our lives with very little effort.<br />
That is the case with <a href="http://www.rosekingsley.com/">Rose Kingsley</a> who I'm writing about today. We had corresponded a few times online, even speaking once. When she heard I was going out to Palm Springs last month, even though she had never met me, graciously offered my husband and I a place to stay while we were out there.&nbsp; We had already made hotel rooms, but they provided the most incredible dinner at their home in Palm Desert the night after we arrived.<br />
She was outside to greet us as we showed up and it was as if I was seeing a long lost friend.<br />
We were introduced to her wonderful husband Norm, and their lovable Bassett, Sadie, who I immediately bonded with. We were also serenaded, somewhat, by her exotic birds Puccini and Larry. Her daughter named him after Richard Kline's character on Three's Company.<br />
We had a delicious dinner and after dinner, her musical director, Bob Corwin and his beautiful wife, Samantha, arrived for dessert after playing a gig themselves.<br />

Bob is the son-in-law, pianist, and collaborator of The Great Johnny Mercer. He has worked with just about everyone in the business and his stories had me in stitches. Remind me to tell you sometime about his experiences with Sid Caesar and Barbara Eden sometime.<br />
His wife is the daughter of Jeri Sullivan who helped pen the lyrics to Rum and Coca Cola, along with Morey Amsterdam.<br />
The evening would STILL be going on if Bob had not said that he was tired and needed to get home!<br />
Rose and Norm arranged our last night to also be with them and we went out for a nice leisurely dinner. We got the red eye back to New York.<br />
And, now, Rose and Norm are coming to New York!<br />
Because of her collaboration with Bob, she has devoted a lot of her performing to the body of work of Johnny Mercer. It was a great opportunity to sing my favorite Mercer song, <i>Moon River</i>, with Rose and Bob.<br />

Please join me on May 10th as I celebrate Rose Kingsley as she celebrates Johnny Mercer. She will be joined by <a href="http://richardskipper.blogspot.com/2018/03/richard-shelton-and-more.html">Richard Shelton</a>, who is widely regarded as the world's best interpreter of Frank Sinatra and nominated 'Best Actor in a Leading Role' for playing Sinatra. I was lucky enough to interview Richard a few years ago. Check it out HERE. They will be taking us on a journey of Sinatra with his music and stories, Rose is a newbie to the world of cabaret having had an amazing career as an&nbsp; opera diva.&nbsp; Now, Rose returns to Lincoln Center, with songs and stories of the Great Johnny Mercer.<br />
I thought it would be fun to conduct a fun interview with Rose. I hope you will take the time to Google her and that you will also join us on the 10th of May.<br />

<b><i><u>What's a hobby you always wanted to pick up but never did?&nbsp;</u></i></b><br />
You know ......... my entire life has been 'comprised' around my Music , never REALLY having much time for hobbies ...... but if I had to pick one it would probably “ Flying “! I’ve always had a keen interest in the exploration of Space and was actually chosen to be “ the first Artist “ to fly in the Shuttle , at that time when they were choosing Civilians!!!!!<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>What has been the highlight of your day so far? (This was conducted yesterday, April 7, 2019)</u></i></b><br />
Today it was attending “ <a href="https://palmspringsoperaguild.org/">PALM SPRINGS OPERA IN THE PARK</a> ...a Beautiful Day , filled with Beautiful Music and Fabulous Singers! What could be better ?<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Are you reading anything right now that you love?</u></i></b><br />

&nbsp; Rehearsing, Rehearsing and more Rehearsing !!!!!!! 😆. Mercer is sooooooo Prolific and I absolutely love all of his music !!! It seems Mercer Songs and my Voice fit like “ a hand in Glove ! “ No matter how many songs I sing in my vast repertoire...,,, I always find my way back to Mercer !!!! With my Heart and Soul In MERCER .... and Richard Shelton ‘s Heart &amp; Soul In SINATRA the Sinatra /Mercer Show is going to be nothing short of Brilliant!<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>What is the most fun thing you've done in the last quarter you think I should do. too?&nbsp;</u></i></b><br />
We spent 4 Glorious Days in Beautiful San Diego , Ca !!! Spectacular Weather, Blue Ocean, Culture and Culinary Delights !!!!!! We had ground field seats at <a href="https://www.stubhub.com/padres-giants-tickets/grouping/306736/">THE PADRE/ GIANT BASEBALL GAME </a>and attended Opening Night Of <a href="https://www.sdopera.org/season/2018-2019-season/carmen">Bizet’s “ CARMEN “ at The SAN DIEGO OPERA</a> !!!!! Definitely a Must !!!!!!<br />
<br />

Oh yes !!!! I believe you know it from the beginning ....you feel it , at least I do !..before the curtain even&nbsp; rises !!! If it’s not “ right” ..... the answer is usually very blatant!!!!!<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>What surprised you the most about the job/business you are in?&nbsp;</u></i></b><br />
Being in this business since I was 4 .... nothing REALLY Surprises me .......What has surprised me, though , since performing on the Opera Stage for most of my life , now Performing Jazz, Blues and The GreatAmerican Songbook .....when you are hired in Opera , you are hired on your ability to SING !!!! I find that being hired in the Jazz/Blue Genre ....,you are hired on “ How Many Seats Can you FILL‼️” 😆<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>How does YOUR art get done?</u></i></b><br />
Practice, Practice and MORE PRACTICE!&nbsp; As The a great Pianist <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Rubinstein">Arthur Rubinstein</a> once said .......” If I don’t practice for one day , I notice ........ if I don’t practice two days my family notices , but I don’t practice for 3 days .... THE WORLD NOTICES !!!! 👍<br />

He sparkles with a charm that is sincere, sophisticated and frequently HILARIOUS!! He asks excellent questions when he interviews guests that always lead naturally to fascinating answers and when he ad-libs with the audience he's amazingly quick-witted and endlessly entertaining. In my book, he's the Best of the Best - Always puts on a fabulous, happily satisfying show - I love him to bits!!</i></span></center>

<i>The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.</i> – B.B King<br />
<br />
Happy Thursday January 24th, 2019.<br />
January 24 is the 24th day of the year. There are 341 days remaining until the end of the year.&nbsp; It is a rainy day here in New York. I haven't done a lot of writing recently. Today is a return to a bit of normalcy in my life, whatever that means.&nbsp; It has been a sad time with the passing of Carol Channing. Everytime I sit down to put my feelings and thoughts on paper, I get emotional. I am still working on a special tribute and hope to get that to you soon. In the meantime, I am thrilled today to celebrate Gwyn Gilliss.<br />
<br />
Gwyn may not remember this but I took her class when I was more actively pursuing an acting career. One thing I love is finding her <i>Monday Morning Marketing Tips</i> in my mailbox every Monday Morning.<br />

She truly kickstarts my week. Today I am thrilled to celebrate Gwyn Gilliss!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://gwyngilliss.com/">Gwyn Gilliss</a> studied theater and play writing at <a href="https://www.cmu.edu/">Carnegie Mellon University</a>, and was an Emmy Award nominated Daytime TV actress with over a dozen contract and recurring roles- as well as appearing on Prime time TV series. Favorites include: All My Children, (ABC), The Lucy Arnaz Show (CBS) and Woman of Valor (NBC) which received an Emmy Award.<br />
In classical Repertory theater productions across the country Gwyn played roles from Shakespeare-Beatrice in <i>Much Ado About Nothing</i>, Moliere- Elmire in <i>Tartuffe</i>, Tennessee Williams- Blanche in <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Streetcar_Named_Desire">Streetcar Named Desire</a></i> to Noel Coward- Elvira in Blithe Spirit and Arthur Miller- Maggie in After the Fall. On Broadway she was in Kaufman and Hart’s The Man Who Came to Dinner at the Circle in the Square and co-starred opposite Tammy Grimes and Ian Richardson in Joshua Logan’s (Mister Roberts, South Pacific) last play, Trick.<br />

<b><i><u>How did the idea for your Monday Morning Marketing Tips come about?&nbsp;</u></i></b></div>
Most of my coaching clients and those actors I met at seminars and workshops were constantly<br />
emailing me asking questions about the business- I felt it was easier to send out a weekly tip<br />
than answering each one individually.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>What made you realize that you wanted to be in this profession?</u></i></b><br />
I was a top model from ages 12-19 doing print <br />

work, runway and commercials (I actually was discovered and approached by an agent while shopping with my Mom). Then I studied theater at Carnegie-Mellon (with instructors from Yale) and spent a decade in NYC doing theater- on and off Broadway as well as great classical productions in Repertory/resident theater from Washington to Atlanta, Syracuse- all over the country before becoming a Daytime TV soap star<br />
and then working in Prime time TV-pilots and new series . When I was dating and eventually<br />

married a British man, I was in England and Europe so much my agents reminded me that I had to show up-be here to book and shoot TV and film roles.<br />
So, I put my acting career on hold-<br />
marriage and family came first- but created a coaching program to help friends find agents and<br />
get in the door to meet and work with the Industry people I knew. Eventually my clients needed marketing tools so I started writing scripts-for sizzles- then formed a film company. Now I am writing and producing series and films. I shot a film in France recently hiring 5 clients for the major roles and just shot a comedy pilot (Netflix) hiring 4 clients. Another series I wrote is being optioned in Australia and produced by a former client whom I encouraged to become a producer. No I did not grow up thinking I would be a mentor or career coach.<br />

<b><i><u>Do you need to let some of your goals go and pursue something else or is everything as you</u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u>envisioned it?</u></i></b><br />
Nothing is ever as you envision it…that's life. You simply go with the flow and learn along the<br />
way- who you are and what appeals to you. I've always done what I felt was, well…FUN!<br />
If it isn't, why do it? I do have an amazing resilience-the ability to adapt and move on. A lot of actors are stuck in the vision that they HAVE to be movie stars. There's a lot more interesting things to do. Everyone's path is different. When you let go-better things come to you than you could EVER have envisioned.<br />

<b><i><u>What is the most important thing you have learned about yourself as a teacher?</u></i></b><br />
You learn as you go- how to teach, what people need - how to provide that- and how to run a<br />
business.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>What are you most excited about with the work you are doing now?</u></i></b><br />
Besides acting my passion is writing. Coaching and writing marketing tips- is a form of love and payback- helping actors. But as an artist- my driving force/passion is acting and writing. It's what I'm really good at. I have 3 films and 4 series I'm developing- all loads of fun and excellent.<br />

FX has set a date for the premiere of its new, theatre-centric limited series, <i>Fosse/Verdon</i>. The Sam Rockwell- and Michelle Williams-led show will premiere April 9 on the network.<br />
<br />
Rockwell and Michelle—both Broadway alums themselves—play the iconic choreographer and dancer, who collaborated onstage with such shows as <i>Sweet Charity</i>, <i>Damn Yankees</i>, and <i>Chicago</i> and were also frequently a pair offstage as well.<br />
<br />
Myriad theatre vets are set to play notable Broadway figures as well, including Kelli Barrett as Liza Minnelli, Bianca Marroquin as Chita Rivera, Norbert Leo Butz as Paddy Chayefsky, Ethan Slater as Joel Grey, and Laura Osnes as Shirley MacLaine.

Hammerstein Awards Gala honoring Susan Stroman was great fun and you were, as always, a charming and skillful pro. I couldn’t help but think what a much needed service (and interesting and fun) it is for events like that one, smaller than the Tony Awards but important to many! And the Tony Awards and anyone else would be lucky to have you, too!</i></span></div>

Happy Saturday, January 5th, 2019!<br />
January 5 is the fifth day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. There are 360 days remaining until the end of the year.<br />
I'm kicking off this week's blogs with an artist I highly recommend and you can catch him live and in person tonight at The Beach Cafe in NYC.<br />
Today, Richard Skipper Celebrates <a href="http://joshualancedixon.squarespace.com/">Joshua Lance Dixon</a>!<br />
<b><i><u><br />
</u></i></b> <b><i><u>Where did the idea for your upcoming show come from?&nbsp;</u></i></b><br />
<i>Pack of One</i> was simply born out of the idea that I wanted to do something different than before. <i>FLY UP!</i> - my debut cabaret show, was very personal in an autobiographical way especially in my patter - whereas <i>Pack of One</i> is more <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

biographical and still feels personal, but only in relating to the personal stories I learned about the guys and singing the music - and this show barely scratches the surface of their (The Rat Pack’s) work.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Who are some of the artists that you enjoy hanging out with?&nbsp;&nbsp;</u></i></b><br />
Oh my... what a question. All of them. I learn so much from every artist I have the opportunity to hang with. I am attracted to artists that take risks and find the&nbsp; courage to share their vulnerability.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>What was your favorite subject in school?&nbsp;</u></i></b><br />

Choir. Is that a subject? That’s not a really a subject. It was an activity. I can honestly say joining the choir was the best thing I ever did. And it was by mistake. I wanted to join the band but my parents couldn’t afford an instrument - I wanted to play the trumpet. But joining the choir let me use and discover my voice. I was a painfully shy kid. I could barely communicate - especially in big groups of kids - I was so afraid of people, being the subject of a lot of bullying up to that point.<br />

Singing in a choir - a forum of a big group of people - I let my guard down, I learned to listen, to blend - I began to discover that not everyone was scary - I began to come out of my shell so to speak.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Tell us your thoughts on the cabaret community...</u></i></b><br />
Saved my life. Music saved me when I was young. Helped me discover I had voice. But the cabaret community helped me realize I had something to say with my voice. I remember the first time I saw a “cabaret performance.” It was <a href="https://www.nataliedouglas.com/">Natalie Douglas</a> singing&nbsp; “Get Here” mad popular by Oleta Adams, at Brandy’s. I was blown away. I mean I already loved that song, but she turned it inside out - simply by singing the lyric from her unique perspective. Charging the words of a song I’d played on repeat 100’s of times, with her experience... channeling love... but it was more than that even... to me, it felt like I was witnessing what it felt like to be free... My heart cracked open.<br />
I was forever changed. I would not do my first cabaret for another 12 years.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>If you weren’t a singer, what profession would you choose?&nbsp;&nbsp;</u></i></b><br />
Acting! I guess I sort of do that when I sing. So, let me pick something else. It would have to be something where I could put my people pleasing skills to good work.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdVe0gKcFbWbAAd34kdbeAbsvGOaArlPLm8mohL9NziqP3QeRyoZHkbJaKByHr_PSMfEsDeZSKvrAMGP_SlTAc765TwFSVcyRA9kXmIBSBYyFZBXQEhLriE91dE5d1B318LqJmPk90O8t9/s1600/287281_121576025058_68577_n.j.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="625" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdVe0gKcFbWbAAd34kdbeAbsvGOaArlPLm8mohL9NziqP3QeRyoZHkbJaKByHr_PSMfEsDeZSKvrAMGP_SlTAc765TwFSVcyRA9kXmIBSBYyFZBXQEhLriE91dE5d1B318LqJmPk90O8t9/s320/287281_121576025058_68577_n.j.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Turning something that’s generally looked upon as an negative and turn it into a positive… So, something where what I engage in comes from a space of love and service. Or... something totally different - Maybe a nurse? Or a Bikram Yoga Teacher.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>What is your favorite book and why?</u></i></b><br />
Goodness, I have a few...<br />
<br />
My favorite series of books is <i><a href="https://www.pottermore.com/explore-the-story/harry-potter">Harry Potter</a></i> - J. K. Rowling is a genius. She nails the battle of light and dark.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfpO-nDJLdb9QlH3mCWukmt1w-8S3mcYu7yIbiTae87fKvDUOj4WyPmRI9I5O0ZsqBjra5Gqe2hVC2DW8cLP4xQxPSC6epN_txREYh-gYBVl_gVHCMAXXh85feDlyCpp3aYeux8vDjlB7O/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="545" data-original-width="970" height="178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfpO-nDJLdb9QlH3mCWukmt1w-8S3mcYu7yIbiTae87fKvDUOj4WyPmRI9I5O0ZsqBjra5Gqe2hVC2DW8cLP4xQxPSC6epN_txREYh-gYBVl_gVHCMAXXh85feDlyCpp3aYeux8vDjlB7O/s320/3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
True love and redemption. The magic of those books and her writing go way beyond potions, spells, which craft, and wizardry.<br />
<br />
And staying in the magic theme... <i>The Alchemist </i>by Paulo Coelho<br />
<br />
My favorite self-help books are by Lynn Grabhorn. “Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting: The Astonishing Power of Feelings” - I need to pull that one off the shelf and re-read it.<br />
and I also really love <i>The Four Agreements</i> - by Don Miguel Ruiz<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi69aZwD_ZWS1O0XoJP7enjbv5a4qdZ7tD4O08VnglzGn7ElHp0vtgbFZEwblIzdChpQBLUgIm9_dVMcciOtOxOhc24ErSj7-9buQYVFgGShS6pqNthnSavoNZW4koBXw4wp0hLd2gezWP1/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="380" data-original-width="570" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi69aZwD_ZWS1O0XoJP7enjbv5a4qdZ7tD4O08VnglzGn7ElHp0vtgbFZEwblIzdChpQBLUgIm9_dVMcciOtOxOhc24ErSj7-9buQYVFgGShS6pqNthnSavoNZW4koBXw4wp0hLd2gezWP1/s320/1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
&nbsp;If our entire world could master the four agreements - we would find peace quickly.<br />
<b style="font-style: italic; text-decoration-line: underline;"><br />
</b> <b style="font-style: italic; text-decoration-line: underline;">What makes</b><b><i><u> you want to support the cabaret community?</u></i></b><br />
I suppose love of our community. There are so many people I admire. The NYC cabaret community is something very special. if I can give back even an iota of what’s so freely been given to me... I would in a heartbeat.<br />

</u></i></b> <b><i><u>What are the unglamorous aspects of your career that the average person doesn’t realize?&nbsp;</u></i></b><br />
It’s work. You have to be very good at multitasking (which I am not). You also need to be your own personal assistant in all things.<br />

I don’t think there is anything weird in my routine... question: do you mean routine as in the show? Or do you mean routine as in daily life routines.&nbsp; I suppose I don’t have weird things in my daily routine either… But so I can say I answered this question... I think the weirdest thing about my routine is that I was able to pull it together and figure it all out in the short amount of time that we built the show – I am very lucky - I might be the weirdest thing in my routine… is me.<br />

Natalie Arneson. Natalie, if you see this, please call me and let's make it happen!<br />

I can’t think of anything... except to look out for future performances of <i>Pack of One</i> as i get it ready to perform out of town! And a potential spin-off series I’ve been dreaming up... A Pack of One Night Stands. One night with Frank. One Night with Dean. One night with Sammy. Each night will feature a guest, maybe two... essentially building our own pack - then bringing back the whole pack for One Night of all their Christmas arrangements . Each night will also be a one night stand for something... haven’t figure out the benefit part of it all yet. Still working it all out in my mind. I have also been dreaming up my debut album and a brand new solo show, not Rat Pack related...<br />

Happy January 3rd, 2019!<br />
January 3 is the third day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. There are 362 days remaining until the end of the year. Well. congratulations, we've all made it through another holiday season.<br />
How did your 2018 go? Are you ready to kick 2019 off?&nbsp; I've been thinking about what worked and what didn't. And what comes through loud and clear is that a lot worked.<br />

2019 is a very special year for me. It was 40 years ago this August that I came to New York.&nbsp; I have decided to devote this year to reflecting 40 years back in the journey that led to my coming to New York on August 5th, 1979. 40 years ago today, I was 17. I was living in Conway South Carolina. I was going to Conway High School, a senior. I was known by everyone as Ricky Skipper.<br />
January 3rd, 1979 was a Wednesday. My guess is that we were back in school, but I can't be certain. I can be certain that we had a REAL POTUS in the White House, Jimmy Carter. I was listening to the Bee Gees. I was probably listening to The Captain and Tennille as well. It was with great sadness that I heard of the passing yesterday of Daryl Dragon, The Captain.<br />

"He was a brilliant musician with many friends who loved him greatly. I was at my most creative in my life, when I was with him." - Toni Tennille.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daryl_Dragon">DARYL FRANK DRAGON</a><br />
Born: August 27, 1942 in Los Angeles, CA<br />
Died: Tuesday, Jan 2nd in Prescott, AZ<br />
<br />
Daryl Dragon was a brilliant keyboardist, arranger and record producer, known to his many fans worldwide as “The Captain” half of the pop music duo, Captain and Tennille.&nbsp; Daryl passed away on Wednesday, Jan 2nd at 1:37am due to renal failure at the age of 76.<br />
<br />
Daryl was born into a musical family, the son of Academy Award winning arranger, composer and conductor Carmen Dragon and his wife, Eloise Dragon, a true coloratura soprano whose exquisite voice was often featured in film scores and in the recordings of Bing Crosby and other recording stars of the time. <br />

Daryl's Godfather was the famous actor and comedian, Danny Thomas.<br />
Daryl was a classically trained pianist, but preferred to play Blues and Boogie rather than Bach and Beethoven.&nbsp; His piano heroes were Fats Domino, Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis.&nbsp; Two of his greatest musical thrills were playing duets with Fats, and performing on television with the great blues guitarist and singer, BB King, another of his idols.&nbsp; Daryl had a very dry sense of humor and drew quite a few of his comedic musical ideas from Danish classical pianist and comedian, Victor Borge.<br />
<br />
Daryl's familiar stage name came from his time as a backup musician for the Beach Boys in the mid 1960s and the early 1970s.&nbsp; He had taken to wearing a Captain's hat onstage, and Mike Love used to introduce him to the audience as DARYL DRAGON, CAPTAIN OF THE KEYBOARDS!!! During his time with the Boys, Daryl made significant contributions to <br />

their concerts and some recordings with his unique keyboard style, playing and arranging on the Beach Boys' 1972 release Carl and the Passions “So Tough.”&nbsp; He also worked with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Wilson">Dennis Wilson</a>, helping Dennis, who could not read music, transfer his often strikingly beautiful song-writing into musical notation.&nbsp; He co-wrote one of Dennis' finest ballads, Cuddle Up, which was recorded not only by Dennis himself, but later by Captain and Tennille.<br />
<br />
In 1971 Daryl met his future wife, Toni Tennille, when she hired him to play piano for a musical called Mother Earth, which she had written while at South Coast Repertory Theatre in southern California.<br />

Soon after that, Daryl recommended her as acoustic pianist for the next Beach Boys tour, since their regular pianist needed to take some time off.&nbsp; While touring together with the Beach Boys, the couple gradually began a musical and romantic relationship.&nbsp; Whenever they were not touring with the Boys, Toni and Daryl began performing together in small clubs and other venues around Southern California.&nbsp; During their club days, after considering other options, they finally decided to call themselves Captain and Tennille.<br />

They began to develop a fan base of loyal followers on the club circuit from 1972 through 1974.<br />
Also during this time, Toni wrote the first of many love songs she would write for Daryl. The Way I Want to Touch You.&nbsp; The two scraped up enough cash to have a few hundred records pressed and distributed to local stations.&nbsp; When the The Way I Want to Touch You quickly became a listener favorite, record labels took notice.&nbsp; They signed with A&amp;M Records in 1974, and were soon on their way to becoming one of the most loved musical duos of the 70s and 80s.&nbsp; Their first album for A&amp;M and their first single were both named LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER, from a song written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield.&nbsp; Love Will Keep Us Together started climbing the charts in November of 1974 and hit #1 in July of 1975, remaining at #1 for 8 weeks.&nbsp; It was the Song of the Summer of 1975, winning the Grammy for 1975s Record of the Year.<br />
<br />
Due to the duo's rising popularity and guest appearances they had made on television, ABC approached them with an offer of their own television Variety Show.&nbsp; The Captain and Tennille show became a network hit, drawing 34,000,000 viewers each week.<br />

Toni loved doing the show, but Daryl, who never enjoyed being on camera, did not.&nbsp; As a result, they declined ABC's offer to do another season, but did agree to do three annual specials for the network, beginning with Captain and Tennille in Hawaii, then Captain and Tennille in New Orleans, and ending with 1980's Captain and Tennille Songbook. Nine more albums and fourteen chart hits came in the next decade, all produced by Daryl, and concluding with another #1 hit, written by Toni for Daryl, called Do That To Me One More Time. Daryl and Toni kept up a busy schedule of touring and performing all over the US and Canada, as well as England, Australia, Japan, and in other countries.<br />
<br />
After 39 years of marriage, Toni and Daryl separated in 2013, and finalized their divorce in July of 2014.&nbsp; They remained in constant contact and were dear friends to the end.<br />
<br />
In a statement, Toni has asked that all of Daryl's many fans remember him as she does, with love and a grateful heart for the music they created together.<br />

<i>Richard, your Facebook Live interview program from the YORK Theatre Oscar Hammerstein Awards Gala honoring Susan Stroman was great fun and you were, as always, a charming and skillful pro. I couldn’t help but think what a much needed service (and interesting and fun) it is for events like that one, smaller than the Tony Awards but important to many!

<i>Listening is a Form of Accepting</i><br />
-Stella Terrill Mann<br />
<br />
Happy Saturday, December 1st, 2019!<br />
December 1st is the 335th day of the year. There are 30 days remaining until the end of the year.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKqHC_pxnyrQ4n_wsia9Uqo9YMpONx4fcUkh3Mc_VxxrR_jhOwYlIPXVXbUciuVe049_9ZDmSEG2jhBDfiP6yMysAbrAWr6pRoxbC21SbXbMR2hrRCANdXyqVs9FZUsgpJ2ccQya3xe4ow/s1600/2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="575" data-original-width="600" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKqHC_pxnyrQ4n_wsia9Uqo9YMpONx4fcUkh3Mc_VxxrR_jhOwYlIPXVXbUciuVe049_9ZDmSEG2jhBDfiP6yMysAbrAWr6pRoxbC21SbXbMR2hrRCANdXyqVs9FZUsgpJ2ccQya3xe4ow/s320/2.jpeg" width="320" /></a>It is the first day of December. As I sit down to begin today's blog, I'm listening to the original Broadway Cast recording of <i>Cabaret</i>. How apro pros as we say hello to December and look forward to the gifts that December holds for us...especially in the world of cabaret. Marieann Meringolo, Karen Oberlin, Dorian Woodruff&nbsp;and MORE! Sue Matsuki even posted on Facebook today, "Dorian Woodruff has a voice from the heavens and Marieann Meringolo's Christmas show is one of my all time favorites. I played her CD today as I put up the tree!"<br />
<br />
We now are on treadmills wondering how we are going to fit it all in.<br />
It really is very simple. Keep a calendar, be selective, and know that sometimes it is OK to say 'NO'.&nbsp; Take time to listen to the music!<br />
Effectiveness is getting the right tasks done.<br />
<br />
Remember, the perfectionist fixes one line of a poem over and over until no lines are right.<br />

And they are all nice people doing their best.&nbsp; Are you bored or just experiencing boredom?&nbsp; Remember, Boredom is an acquired taste! Today more than ever I yearn to escape from the daily routine. However, I'm well aware that I must juggle my desires with my professional and domestic obligations.<br />
“I am never bored; to be bored is an insult to one’s self.”<br />
― Jules Renard<br />
<br />
“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” ~Annie Dillard<br />

If you have a roof over your head, be grateful.<br />
There are many who don't. It's become a huge problem here in New <br />

York where I live because the cost of housing is so high. Also, the middle class is shrinking, and it only takes one disaster to put you on the street. Today is Happy National Roof Over Your Head Day!<br />
Tomorrow is Advent Sunday.<br />
Let's all embrace each other a little more this holiday season.<br />
<br />
I also encourage you to get out of the house and go see a LIVE show!<br />

Here in NY, thank God, we have choices!<br />

After, unsuccessfully vamping him,&nbsp; he reveals that he is St. Peter, and these are the gates to Heaven.<br />
Mae is taken aback and says, “I never thought I'd live to see the day!”<br />
Mae West learns that the key to entering Heaven is getting a good review from the big critic in the sky.<br />
So we are witness to a musical flashback of Mae's life – from Bushwick, Brooklyn and Coney Island to the vaudeville circuit, Broadway and finally to Hollywood and worldwide fame.<br />
Did she get into Heaven?<br />

Show Review quote from Bistro Awards:<br />
"<i>Perhaps understandably, She Loves Me, which, like Fiddler, is enjoying a successful current revival on Broadway, remains her favorite Bock-Harnick musical and got four full songs here: her set opener, “Tonight at Eight”; “Will He Like Me?”; the musical’s title song; and the register-busting “Ice Cream,” which nicely showed off Roberts’s top notes. The Apple Tree was represented by a medley of “Movie Star” and “Gorgeous,” and a lovely rendition of “What Makes Me Love Him?</i>”. Robert Windeler<br />

<i style="font-family: &quot;segoe ui&quot;, optima, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Richard, your Facebook Live interview program from the YORK Theatre Oscar Hammerstein Awards Gala honoring Susan Stroman was great fun and you were, as always, a charming and skillful pro. I couldn’t help but think what a much needed service (and interesting and fun) it is for events like that one, smaller than the Tony Awards but important to many! And the Tony Awards and anyone else would be lucky to have you, too!</i><br />

<i>Pioneers are Seldom from the nobility. There were no Dukes on the Mayflower.</i>-Mack Sennett<br />
<br />
Happy Thursday, November 29th, 2018!<br />
November 29 is the 333rd day of the year. There are 32 days remaining until the end of the year.<br />
A friend of mine told me that 333 is the 'God' number. I looked it up and found this: <i>Angel number 333 symbolizes aid and encouragement. It means that your angels are just nearby, ready to help and reassure you that your plans are going well.&nbsp;</i><br />

<i>It sends the message that your prayers have been answered, and seeing 333 means that whatever you requested for is on its way to you.</i><br />

What are you going to do with those 35 days?<br />

Let me suggest a show! When I was a kid, I looked forward to the Christmas specials on TV: Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Andy Williams. Then there were <br />

the animated specials: <i><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058536/">Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer</a></i>,&nbsp; <i>A Charlie Brown Christmas,How the Grinch Stole Christmas!:</i>all with classic musical scores.<br />
Before 1962, when <i><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123179/">Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol</a> </i>premiered, true Christmas specials made for TV were either adaptations of stories such as A Christmas Carol (with live actors), or the Nativity Story, or episodes of variety shows highlighting Christmas music. They were often hosted by such celebrities as Perry Como, Jane Wyatt, or Florence Henderson.<br />
(A notable exception was <i>The Spirit of Christmas</i> in 1950, which, although featuring an appearance<br />

by Alexander Scourby, who also narrated, starred the Mabel Beaton Marionettes.)<br />
<br />
This all changed once variety shows began dying out and Rankin-Bass began producing more and more Christmas specials.<br />
<br />
One notable television special usually seen at Christmas was <i>Amahl and the Night Visitors</i>, the first opera written especially for television. Composed by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gian_Carlo_Menotti">Gian-Carlo Menotti</a> with a libretto in English by the composer, the opera told of a disabled beggar boy living with his (presumably) widowed mother in the Holy Land. They are visited by the Three Wise Men who are on their way to see the Christ Child, and when Amahl offers his crutch as a gift, he is miraculously cured. Commissioned by NBC, the opera was telecast annually in the U.S. from 1951 to 1966. In 1978, it returned to television, but this new production did not have the spectacular success that previous ones did.<br />

shows and non holiday shows.&nbsp; on any given night.&nbsp; I am plunging into the calendar listings and choosing shows and events worth savoring as nourishment for heart, mind, and spirit.<br />

ITis the season! Go and enjoy theses shows but please do not photograph or video without permission from the artists on stage AND the audiences around you. Please respect this request.<br />
I was just reading that Stephanie Block had to ask an audience member to start filming her last night during <i>The Cher Show</i>. I wish we could go back to a time in which this did not happen. I was watching the Tree Lighting Ceremony last night at Rockefeller Center. Most of the audience had their phones up in the air. What happened to just enjoying a show?<br />

Happy Small Business Saturday!<br />
It is November 24th, 2018. It is 43 degrees in Sparkill. We are expecting a very rainy Saturday night. Sending warm good wishes to all of you for a wonderful holiday season. My friend Paul Brogan shared this with me from ten years ago and I thought I'd share it. It represents the many years he devoted to HIV/AIDS work as World AIDS Day rapidly approaches. He was blessed to have Carol Channing supporting that work and going to join forces with him to NH.

setting for a Norman Rockwell painting. From an early age he dreamed of going to Hollywood and working in the movies. The images that flickered on the huge movie screens, as well as from the television console that sat in the living room seemed to beckon to him. That road to his dreams, however, was fraught with many detours and demons that threatened to derail not only his hopes but his life as well. "Was That a Name I Dropped?", his memoir, tells in chilling detail a true story about growing up gay and battling depression so deep that suicide seemed like the only option available.&nbsp; Order it <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Was-That-Name-I-Dropped/dp/1608300501">HERE</a><br />

SINATRA SINGS JIMMY VAN HEUSEN<br />
<a href="http://apssinc.org/">American Popular Song Society</a>, Local 802 - Musicians' Hall, 322 West 48th Street, NYC<br />
<br />
Will Friedwald's CLIP JOINT presents:<br />
"FRANK SINATRA sings JIMMY VAN HEUSEN"<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Van_Heusen">Jimmy Van Heusen</a> put more songs in Frank Sinatra's mouth than any other composer. But more than that, he served as the singer's closest and best friend for multiple decades, and he provided The Chairman of the Board with a role model, a template for how to act in his personal life.<br />
Sinatra's lifestyle of the 1950s and '60s, his years of high-rolling, cocktail-swigging, and skirt-chasing, were carefully patterned after Van Heusen. This presentation will use rare concert and television videos to show Frank Sinatra performing over a dozen classic songs by his best bud, Jimmy Van Heusen.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBsa4bv06wQaGc1_Qf18pA9qj5AbTyMxGQuqLnD1TtvMWsjDYFS4TA1vHa3r4afuF-KWEtRUGe0XytbCOwaDlkunpQ0SoEOfqO4Hgu_Sa3uyjaMXCVfjUMCRtxkZtJom_ds37jVTRxUX_B/s1600/1a473f6f6e8ef7266239275c74f02d9d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="401" data-original-width="534" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBsa4bv06wQaGc1_Qf18pA9qj5AbTyMxGQuqLnD1TtvMWsjDYFS4TA1vHa3r4afuF-KWEtRUGe0XytbCOwaDlkunpQ0SoEOfqO4Hgu_Sa3uyjaMXCVfjUMCRtxkZtJom_ds37jVTRxUX_B/s320/1a473f6f6e8ef7266239275c74f02d9d.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
"The trouble with Sinatra," Sammy Cahn famously said, "is that he thinks he's Van Heusen!"<br />
<br />
The presentation will include such classic songs as "All The Way, " "High Hopes," "Love and Marriage," "Here's That Rainy Day," and "But Beautiful."<br />
THEN... at 4PM ... one show only ! 3D rarities at the <a href="https://filmforum.org/now_playing?gclid=CjwKCAiAiuTfBRAaEiwA4itUqHG-Wlx1Pkq7F1Tlzju9toTonBrqOIjHHOdOzkL5OSSFbwHT1iFvixoC9X4QAvD_BwE">FILM FORUM</a>!<br />

<i>Richard Skipper was born to this mantle. What a spot-on splendid job he does. Always a treat to hear those glorious pipes when he sings AND now add to that this charming, spontaneous yet thoroughly primped, delightfully funny role as Host. What a gem of an entertainment he has concocted ... I was honored to be a part of the festivities</i><br />
<i>(He had me from the “Opening Credits!” Abundantly BRILLIANT)&nbsp;</i><br />
Jeff Harnar, NYC<br />
<br />
<i>Dear Richard Skipper and Russ Woolley&nbsp;</i><br />
<i>I want you to know - really KNOW - what a wonderful gift you gave me in having me perform in your Pride show :-)&nbsp; To sing in that beautiful setting (the Laurie Beechman)&nbsp;</i><br />
<i>with that fabulous band (Matthew Martin Ward - piano, Rex Benincasa - percussion, Erik Lawrence - sax,&nbsp; Steve Doyle - bass) and that super-nice audience - so happy, upbeat and warm... This truly was a&nbsp; dream-come-true for me - like walking through a very cool movie :-) but it's real!!&nbsp;</i><br />
<i>I thank you both from the absolute rock bottom of my heart <3 always="" and="" i="" ll="" nbsp="" treasure=""></3></i><br />
<i>the commemorative mug you made for the show :-)</i><br />
<i>I can't stop smiling and you are the culprits :-)</i><br />
Sheree Sanoo, NYC<br />
<br />
<i>No one can deliver a show like Richard Skipper.&nbsp;</i><br />
<i>His passion and enthusiasm along with his singing and a brilliant roster of performers ......knocked it out of the park!</i><br />
<i>Thanks for being you, Richard Skipper!</i><br />

Happy Black Friday! November 23rd, 2018!<br />
November 23 is the 327th day of the year. There are 38 days remaining until the end of the year. It is 28 degrees here in Sparkill and as I sit down to begin my blog today, I'm listening to the 70s&nbsp;on Sirius XM Radio. THAT is the way to kick start my day.<br />
It’s Thanksgiving weekend, but you may not feel like you have much to be thankful for at the moment. It’s been a pretty intense fall season. From market volatility to devastating wildfires, it can be difficult to focus on gratitude.&nbsp; However, as most of us know from our careers: what you track improves. So, by focusing on the all good in your life and on the future that inspires you, you will tap into a sense of power and gratitude. <br />

That’s my advice to you this holiday season.The Holly Daze are here and I desire to take this moment to thank you and all the Richard Skipper Celebrates supporters who make my work possible.<br />
<br />
Life is meaningless without relationships.<br />
Today is Maize Day! <a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/fun/fibonacci-day">Fibonacci Day</a> is&nbsp; also being observed today! It has always been observed annually on November 23rd. after Thanksgiving. And in honor of Black Friday and Maize Day, I am celebrating some great artists who have events going on around town in the coming days and weeks. Looking for the perfect gift this year? Treat a friend to a show and you have 12 months to spread the wealth in order to not break the bank.<br />

Jennifer will be joined in the special performance at New York hotspot "PANGEA" by musical director <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Weber">Jon Weber</a> and bassist Steve Doyle.<br />
Directed by Lance Roberts, the show will feature hits from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheldon_Harnick">Harnick's greatest and most-popular shows</a>, including Fiddler On The Roof and She Loves Me. Jennifer also promises "several hidden gems" of rarely/if ever heard songs by the three-time Tony Award winner, with spectacular arrangements by Tedd Firth in varied styles, "jazz-infused, a little blues and more." "Mr. Harnick supplied three of the songs himself, that were either never in print or out of print," Jennifer noted, while a friend of the composer's provided a rarely-heard number from Harnick's "Hidden Treasures" album.<br />

Steve is leaving the world of Rue and Regret and focusing on Friendship, Romance and…Encouragement!<br />
The season happily requires some beautiful Christmas melodies – especially a few from his latest CD ‘<i>It’s Almost Christmas Eve</i>”<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Chopin">Frederick Chopin</a> and Steve (their first collaboration) composed the melody of the eponymous title song with a charming lyric by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Hirsch">Ken Hirsch</a> and Rosie Casey.<br />
Steve is joined in these by fellow-performers on the recording.<br />

<i>Richard and Russ, your show on Sunday, Oct 14, was spectacular. I have enjoyed many a Sunday in your theatrical care, and the two of you understand the point of putting together a show -- it is to ENTERTAIN!!!!!!!! It was on the one hand so well produced and directed that an audience immediately feels taken care of, but then the consummate mastery of Richard's hosting skills to embrace the audience and the moment(s) and harvest such humor and pleasure from the unexpected.&nbsp; Do I really have to wait until February for another one?&nbsp; LOVE this series, and so grateful for the laughs and the heart. Thank you.</i><br />

Happy Tuesday, October 30th, 2018!<br />
October 30 is the 303rd day of the year (304th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 62 days remaining until the end of the year.<br />
I'm listening to <i>I'll Get By</i> by The Ink Spots.<br />
"You'll learn as you live a bit longer that there are very few people who are really interested in who you are and what you're doing:<br />

That handful who do care and who do want to see you do well are treasures. Hold them very dear and very close to you.<br />
Forgive them almost anything. Be there for them. But most of life is solitary and hard--you work and you study and you fail and you do the damned things over and over again.<br />
And this is your responsibility. Most people, as I've said, are stupid and lazy and really only concerned with getting through the next couple of hours with silliness and stimulation and something to eat. Be polite. Look ahead. Ignore them. Do the work. Move forward."--<a href="http://jamesgrissom.blogspot.com/2017/03/katharine-hepburn-on-reality.html">Katharine Hepburn/Interview with James Grissom</a><br />

“The music of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_American_Songbook">Great American Songbook</a> is imbued with our deepest longings and wishes,” says Dr. Jones.<br />
<br />
“As a child I sought refuge there and as I say in ‘Dr. Bradley’s Fabulous Functional Narcissism,’ these songs have the power to repair! Their preservation and promotion are critical, and I’m compelled - and delighted - to support the efforts of the ASA.”<br />

<i>Dr. Bradley’s Fabulous Functional Narcissism…The Psychoanalytic Odyssey of a Once Glorified Chorus Boy </i>regales us through 70 minutes, with Jones applying a rapier wit to true tales of his early childhood as a budding theater queen, nearly ten years on Broadway in A Chorus Line, backstage life and excessive drug use, living through the AIDS pandemic and making his decision to pursue a new career. The show features mainly the music of Jones’ milieu: Broadway standards including the songs of Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein, George Gershwin, Rodgers and Hart, Harold Arlen, Ray Heindorf, Brian Yorkey and more.<br />
<br />
“Dr. Bradley wielded his psychological prowess like a surgeon’s scalpel, with the exquisite timing of a Borscht-Belt comic.” – David Sabella, CabaretHotSpot<br />
<br />
Tickets for this special event are $50, with all of the proceeds going to support the ASA.<br />

Happy Saturday!<br />
It is an overcast morning here in New York. October 20 is the 293rd day of the year. There are 72 days remaining until the end of the year.<br />
Happy Birth of the Bab Day! As the name implies, Birth of the Bab celebrates the birth of the Bab, a prophet and forerunner of the Bahá'í faith. It is a Bahá'í holy day, and one of three dedicated to the Bab, along with the Declaration of the Bab and Martyrdom of the Bab.<br />
Siyyid Ali Muhammad was born in Shiraz, Persia (now Iran), on October 20, 1819, and became known as the Bab, which means "gate" in Arabic. He is believed to be from the line of the Prophet Muhammed. His father died when he was young, and he was raised by his maternal uncle, Haji Mirza Siyyid. Possessing a great depth of knowledge of the Qur'an and spirituality, he began his ministry in 1844. He traveled to Mecca, eventually was imprisoned in a mountain, and was executed by a firing squad in Tabriz in 1850.<br />

As I sit down to write today's blog, I have limited time before heading into the city this afternoon to see <a href="http://www.jamiebrickhouse.com/">Jamie Brickhouse</a> in his one-man show, <i>I Favor My Daddy</i>. I interviewed him earlier this week. Then, tonight, we will be seeing Mary Elizabeth Micari. Rev. Mary is the Lady in Black!<br />
Rev. Mary (a.k.a. singing artist Mary Elizabeth Micari) takes a break from her bawdy tunes to serenade her audience with vintage songs from the heart made famous between 1910-1950. Some tunes are familiar, some haven’t been heard in a century. Mary is a singer who specializes in Jazz and Blues.<br />
In addition to Don’t Tell Mama, Mary has also appeared at<br />

Ensemble, a classically-based non- profit arts and education organization designed to make quality theatre – including Shakespeare and his contemporaries as well as the Greeks –<br />
accessible to new audiences. She currently serves as its artistic director and has directed and performed in numerous works.<br />
<br />
For a long time, her “day job” was doing makeup and hair in live theater and film. Her credentials in that area include nearly a dozen Broadway shows, independent films, as well as events at <a href="http://www.lincolncenter.org/">Lincoln Center</a>, Carnegie Hall, and the Roundabout Theater.<br />
Mary also has a rich spiritual life as well. She is a healer and an ordained Minister utilizing Reiki, Herbalism, Homeopathy, Acupressure, Sound Healing and more. Her nickname, “the singing sorceress,” comes from her roots in the Pagan community and the work she does with cool things like Tarot, Astrology, and Magickal work. “The Magic Apothecary” is her line of magickly-infusedproducts for health and healing.<br />

Being on the stage as one of the kids in <i><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049408/">The King and I</a></i>.<br />
<br />
It was the first time I discovered my true home. Everything was special, as though I had been transformed and moved into space the Gods inhabit.&nbsp; I was only 10 and it was a tiny show but to me, it was the beginning of my life’s work.<br />

He’s worked with me in my vocal studio, recordings and now live Cabaret shows.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>

<div>
<span style="text-align: center;">He’s amazingly talented. He can play anything and because he is also a composer he knows how to really work with harmony, orchestration and he’s got a great eye for a stage picture and is very good at finding and using songs I’d never hear of to add to the work.&nbsp;</span></div>

I am entirely comfortable on stage with him.<br />
He is really the most adept and supportive pianist I have ever know, not to mention is jazz work on stage and the beauty of the solos I am sure to make sure he gets in every show!<br />

I also believe that fame in the large scale is for a select few and that being a working artist is the best thing there is. We are here to be a light in the dark. That is the job of a performer.<br />

<b><i><u>How successful have you been in getting yourself “out there” and into the clubs and on the stages beyond your comfort zone?&nbsp;</u></i></b><br />
'Out there' is where I live!&nbsp; I love to try anything new…at least once.&nbsp; I have really no fear on the stage.<br />
Just did a Burlesque class and yes…got naked in front of a huge audience of screaming people I loved it.<br />

<b><i><u>generation of entertainers and what your legacy to them will be?&nbsp;</u></i></b><br />
As I said, I teach so I am with the next generation of entertainers much.&nbsp; I have worked with many young actors as well. I think it's about what I learned listening to an interview with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Newman">Paul Newma</a>n many years ago, Tenacity.&nbsp; I also say, never ever give up. Always move forward.<br />
Never stay still. Be there and ready for anything. Never be fearful and always know that the audience, for the most part, loves you.<br />
That is what I hope I can impart.<br />

Aside from these talents, Mary is a trained opera singer, having performed with some of NYC’s most respected opera companies for more than 14 years. Ironic, since she began her singing career in a<br />
band doing Jefferson Starship as well as many years doing musicals. I hope that you'll join me this evening at Don't Tell Mama as I continue to celebrate Mary Elizabeth Micari!<br />

If you are in Germantown, Maryland this eve, Please check out Jeff Harnar and Sally Mayes in Double Take (with Alex Rybeck). I saw this show at The Laurie Beechman Theatre and I highly recommend it.<br />
REX REED--<br />
"Two powerhouse performers giving it all they've got is more than anyone has a right to hope for in the world of entertainment. 'DOUBLE TAKE' is a double dose of wit, sparkle, savvy and music, stirred with love, laughter and a lifetime of dedication to show business sensationalism! I absolutely loved every enchanting minute of it!" Rex Reed<br />
<br />
Sally Mayes &amp; I bring DOUBLE TAKE to The BlackRock Center For The Arts in Germantown MD this Sat Oct 20th with our amazing trio Music Director Alex Rybeck, Bob Renino (Bass) and Dan Gross (Drums).<br />

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL WOUND is the true story of Rich Orloff's adventures in underground therapy using <a href="https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/mdma-ecstasymolly">MDMA</a> (a.k.a. Ecstasy) and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin_mushroom">psilocybin mushroom</a>s, based on cutting-edge experiments designed to help people heal from deep emotional wounds.&nbsp; Rich describes the piece as one person's journey towards reconciliation with the soul... with a short detour for an appendectomy.<br />
<br />
Inspired by the autobiographical monologues of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spalding_Gray">Spalding Gray</a> and Mike Daisey, my goal with IT'S A BEAUTIFUL WOUND is to take the audience through the experience with me, in a vivid, compelling and honest way.<br />

<i> Sunday in your theatrical care, and the two of you understand the point of putting together a show -- it is to ENTERTAIN!!!!!!!! It was on the one hand so well produced and directed that an audience immediately feels taken care of, but then the consummate mastery of Richard's hosting skills to embrace the audience and the moment(s) and harvest such humor and pleasure from the unexpected.&nbsp;&nbsp;</i><br />

<i>Do I really have to wait until February for another one?&nbsp; LOVE this series, and so grateful for the laughs and the heart. Thank you.</i></div>

<i>Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke.&nbsp;</i><br />
Benjamin Disraeli<br />
<br />
Happy Friday, September 21st, 2018<br />
September 21 is the 264th day of the year. There are 101days remaining until the end of the year.<br />
It is a rainy overcast day here in New York and as I sit down to write today's blog, I'm listening to&nbsp; <a href="https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/veronicaklaus2">Lee a la V: Veronica Klaus and the Tammy L. Hall Quartet-<i>A Peggy Lee Songbook</i></a>.<br />
There is so much to celebrate but today, I'm taking a different turn to shed light on a problem that has pervaded every aspect of our culture and that is bullying. We have a man in the White House who ran his entire platform on bullying and continues to do so.<br />
While Rome is burning, Nero is fiddling ( or golfing). <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2017/05/09/whats-happening-melania-trumps-cyberbullying-campaign-not-much-yet/101212182/">FLOTUS began her reign by announcing that her platform would be cyberbullying</a>.<br />
Her announcement was met with huge outcries and derision. After all, her husband has taken<br />

cyberbullying to a high new level.<br />
I know a bully when I see one. I was bullied as a kid and called names even before I knew what some of those names meant. I have even been bullied by a few people as an adult.<br />
It always stings and the only remedy&nbsp;is to try and rise above it.<br />
<br />
Of course, bullies have been around since the beginning of time, but I have definitely seen a shift in my lifetime...and not for the better.<br />
It has seeped into every aspect of our culture. I do believe that the current man in the White House is there because of Reality television.<br />

show is based on a theme of one-upmanship.<br />
Someone is going to get kicked off the island. OR your cupcake is not as good as the others. OR 'real' housewives are going to publicly humiliate themselves for the world to see. (thank you, Andy Cohen).<br />
Right now, GOP senators are bullying a woman who was allegedly the victim of an attempted rate by a man who may be our next Supreme Court Judge.<br />
Most of these older White males have already made up their minds. Orin Hatch called Professor Ford "mixed up."<br />
Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) said on Wednesday that, "Women across this nation should be outraged at what these white men senators are doing to this woman".<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Like I've said before. Those who are not angered by what is going on by <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Man-White-House-Powers-Duties/dp/080189266X">the man in the White House</a>, just don’t get it, perhaps they never have and at this point, you never will. They probably have never experienced ANY discrimination in their lives. That’s why they can only see this situation up to a certain point.<br />
Nothing about my life has been 'normal. I came into the world bullied. It started with my dad, continued with aunts and uncles, escalated in school, and continued&nbsp;for the first 18 years of my life. It dissipated for the most part as I got older and became solidly aware of who and what I am.&nbsp; Last<br />

I hope my family will forgive my honesty in upcoming posts. Please understand that I love my family. I always have and I always will.<br />
When I left home, it felt like a graduation. I was on my own and I was truly free to be me for the first time in my life. From the moment that I decided I was going to move to New York, every waking moment was focused on that.&nbsp; I decided on August 5th, 1974, that five years from that date that I would move to New York...AND I did!<br />
When I left home, it was time to move on.<br />

When the day arrived, I could have flown to New York without the aid of the now defunct <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piedmont_Airlines">Piedmont Airlines</a>.<br />
I remember taking my seat and the flight attendant telling me to put my seat back up. Everything in between is a blur.<br />
Stay tuned! There is Much more to come.<br />

<i>Congratulations, congratulations, a thousand congratulations" and many, many Thank You's t Richard Skipper for his marvelous performance in "Showtune" at the Madison Theatre. If Jerry Herman had seen it, I have no doubt he would agree that with Richard's rich tenor voice and spectacular stage presence, he was THE perfect performer to get things rolling with "It's Today" … lead us into the Act I finale with "Before the Parade Passes By" … remind us in between that "It Takes a Woman" to bring us the sweet things in life … and, of course, to wrap things up by leading the cast and the enthralled audience with a sing-along of (what else?) "Hello, Dolly!" Working with Richard was a real pleasure and I look forward to the next time, and of course to see Richard perform in the interim!&nbsp;</i><br />

<i>Really KNOWwhat a wonderful gift Richard Skipper gave me in having me perform in Richard Skipper Celebrates. To sing in that beautiful setting (the Laurie Beechman) with that fabulous band (Matthew Martin Ward - piano, Rex Benincasa - percussion, Erik Lawrence - sax, Steve Doyle - bass) and that super-nice audience - so happy, upbeat and warm... This truly was a dream-come-true for me - like walking through a very cool movie :-) but it's real!! I thank Richard Skipper and Russ Woolley from the absolute rock bottom of my heart.</i><i>I can't stop smiling and they are the culprits :-)&nbsp;</i><br />
