Good morning, all! No heavy snw last night, which I like, and I will spend another afternoon at the NYPL. trying to learn about Madge Ellis, a male impersonator in vaudeville of the 1880s and 90s. I've got two songs that Victor Herbert wrote for "America's leading character artiste" (no kidding, it says that on her sheet music). Curiously, while the songs ar both written for male impersonator, the performer in the photo is quite feminine with lots and lots of hair, so I want to see Miss Ellis in her onstage apparel.
Beyond that, I've got a spot of work here writing checks, so that I can pay my bills as soon as that foundation idiot sends me a check, and tallying up more tax receipts. I'm on to promotional gifts, dinners, and other expenses after finishing up office and postage expenses. I'm saving the Big Three (DVDs, Books/Music, and CDs) for the last.
Side dishes? Mac'n'cheese!
