Good luck.

I know there's probably a lot of crap on there that you can just as easily disregard, but there is a really funny scene from an Ionesco play that you've got to check out.

To my mind, he was the best European playwright-with the possible exception of Beckett-of the entire 20th Century.

Yes, the fireman dialogue was hilarious. Overall, your page is a fun read.

In your musical preferences section, I notice you like a smattering of artists from "my era"...

Dusty Springfield... the minute I heard her sing "The Look Of Love," I knew that girl had soul!...

Leslie Gore... along with the Angels, she reigned supreme in the biotch song category. I think her best effort was "You Don't Own Me." In her teens, she commuted into Manhattan from New Jersey to sing in a little dive during the summer. Quincy Jones walked in there one day to wet his whistle, heard her sing and the rest is history...

Ray Stevens... Figures you would like him. I do too. Coincidentally, I was listening to the original "Ahab The Arab" just a couple days ago. It's been years, as they say. He was very talented at producing novelty tunes, but also was an excellent musician who could hit the charts with a straight ditty from time to time, eg. "Everything Is Beautiful" (#1 in '70). A lot of people mistook him for BJ Thomas on that cut. He was a fine mimic.

Keep in touch.
