DEBBIE . . .

On Broadway with Debbie Reynolds

She was patient, friendly, and greeted every single fan 

who waited for her after her show

(and there were hundreds)

SIEDAH!

SIEDAH GARRETT is a joy.

Not much more can be said about this talented woman

 except . . . 

that she's an accomplished songwriter (hundreds of songs), vocalist, artist, Grammy-winner, fantastic knitter, engaging storyteller -- and did I mention FUN?! 

(Oh, and she's married to a handsome 

and enchanting guy, Erik) 

What a delightful and fascinating afternoon 

Jennifer and I spent with Siedah in their 

new home located not far from LACMA

(click on pics to enlarge)

Thankfully, his fiance Samantha was there also,

who gave some deeper understanding 

into this courageous man

(Oh, and Harley, too. They served together

in Afganistan)

Show 'em what's underneath!

LONG  . . . LIVE . .  FREDDIE!

SOUND OF SADNESS

I'm still in disbelief . . . 

CHARMIAN CARR is dead at 73 years old.  
She's the first one to die 
from the main cast of THE SOUND OF MUSIC.  
Julie and Chris are both in their eighties!

Article I wrote about Charmian

in Art & Understanding magazine  

You'll always be sixteen going on seventeen 

in my eyes, Chairman!

LENNON!

Had the honor of interviewing JULIAN LENNON today.

Top notch, classy, integrity, forthright, genuine, and polite.

Thank you Susie for your valuable help!
