The lovely Alvin Ing was, of course, in the Kritzerland Rodgers and Hammerstein evening - a shame FJL doesn't remember these things.
DR Cillaliz - I am very glad that this did not become your fate:

RIP James Gandolfini...so sad. He was a couple months younger than me.
The last weekend of this month is Salem's World Beat Festival. I recently joined the India-US Friendship: Salem Division group and they have asked me to help them out with their booth...this year's theme for the group is: Bollywood! (2013 is the 100 year anniversary of Indian cinema.)Attended my first meeting last night with Dikshant and Kahtyia and have another meeting next Tuesday with the board of directors. I am looking very forward!
Lupone Piano MishapQuoteA piano malfunction twice threatened to derail Broadway star Patti LuPones show last night at the Leicester Square Theatre. When the piano pedal stuck after her opening number, Dont Rain on My Parade, Patti moved into chat mode as technicians stripped the baby grand on stage in front of 400 fans.After the problem appeared to be fixed, the piano made it through one more number before Patti called for an interval and a second piano was hauled onto the stage. My man in the stalls said: It didnt seem to throw her. She got three standing ovations. A replacement baby grand is due on stage tonight. Lets hope it behaves.I am thinking that DR FJL could have a ball with this one!
