Hanging on...

The past few weeks have been filled with lots of drama. For the record, I prefer romantic comedies, but we play the roles we are assigned. Except when we don't. I've no time for such pursuits and I won't feed that energy. Nonetheless, it seems I'm staring in a reality drama show to be aired on the drama network. Queue dramatic music... stay tuned for tons of back-posts.

In the meantime, I managed to catch a Vegas show... a legend, even, the man of many voices, Danny Gans! Best described as ADD theatre, he sings songs spaning 70 years, backed by a tight 9-piece band. Part concert, part talk-show, part stand-up, and part Broadway, he fired through his material at such a rapid pace, I wondered, 10 minutes in, if he (and the band) could keep doing it for the whole show.

He did.

No wonder he's being doing a show here for more than 10 years. I remember seeing his visiage, larger-than-life, back in my earliest days here in Vegas.
