Lazarus, Come Forth !

I don't particularly like being the messenger of death on this blog but it seems that it is destined for such these days. The recent passing of a great talent in the form of David Bowie is a great loss to the musical and art world and I can truly say that his marvelous voice inspired me many times from youth on up. Most recently he has a play out which will be in its final performance on New York's Theatre Workshop stage by January 20th and should be well attended as most of the proceeds will go to a worthy cause. 

 

Something memorable comes to mind:
      In 1976, when the germ of the idea for his play Lazarus was taking shape David called his 'look' a cross between Nijinsky and Woolworth's. I'm not sure what he meant but somehow it is apt. He was otherworldly but at the same time so down-to-earth. 

Farewell fair friend !

How about a quick blast from the past ?

Jan and Dean were the quintessential surf music mavens. They knew all about 'across the pond' and liked the rock scene but their heart stayed at home. This is one of my favorites which most people think is the Beach Boys. Here it is:

Proud to be an American, I am !   LOL   

 

News Years Eve...

What did I tell you about One Direction back in 2012? Now they're hot...hot...hot... with the latest hit on Dick Clark's NYC 2016 ... well, take a look and a listen.

The Castle Lady always knows...
