JohnG, it was wonderful to hear that terrific Gretchen Cryer and Nancy Ford song again. So glad you linked it in last night's posts!

There is a really bad version of the song on YouTube that Gretchen sang live last year. Her voice is shot and off key. It was rather painful to watch

Some of us have to live life vicariously.

Congrats to DR VIXMOM on her millstone!

And have a great brunch!

It would be nice if my new play - nearly all written - got some attention this year.

But mostly I want good health for all of my family and friends.

Two cases of Covid in the family - nephew's wife and daughter.

My sister, husband, and daughter are on the way home from Maryland.

New Year’s Day greetings! All settled in to watch the Tournament of Roses Parade.

My hope for 2024 is a smooth closing on our old house and less upheaval than we had in 2023.

I knew Gretchen Cryer. I liked her very much. The last time I saw her, she was moving to California to be close to John. I arranged "Old Friend" for the cabaret act "Just Good Friends," and the New York City Gay Men's Chorus recorded it on their album "Love Lives On." It isn't on YouTube, but the Orlando Gay Men's Chorus performed, although I am not credited for the arrangement and that pisses me off.The arrangement begins 1:24 into the video.

The arrangement was "inspired" - if that's the correct word - by my friendship with actor Time Winters, my oldest living New York City buddy.

We closed out 2023 with 31,000 more postings than 2022. Over 13,000,000 visits.

Excellent. The return of former DRs was very nice.

I am personally responsible for a fraction of the increase in posts as I was not around for 2022.

I am very happy for this. Aside from returning, reading all about your new home has been very interesting.

Bonanza story. David Canary said Dan Blocker used to hide a transistor radio under his cowboy hat, and the soundman on set would be going nuts trying to figure out where this faint broadcast was coming from.
