Aww, thanks, folks for the good wishes. Anthony thanks you also, even though he's not here (he's here in spirit).
Speaking of bargins, I finally got a copy of Dessa Rose. It was on sale through Broadway Cares ($20 including shipping and it usually sells for anywhere from $35 to $40), but apparently I got there too late. I had placed an order on Wednesday last week and was told I would get a confirmation e-mail. I waited and waited and today I got an e-mail but it was not the one I wanted. They had sold out of DR but the Web site had not yet been updated. Oh, well. I ended up going to my favorite store, Academy, and what was there but an unopened copy of Dessa Rose for $26. I picked it up and will listen over the week. It's the entire piece and it's beautifully packaged by John Yap of TER/JAY Records. Like FJL, I'm a fan of the show even though it got pretty well trashed in the reviews.
