When I started this channel I was exploring interesting "insider" aspects of life in New York City. Now that I've moved to Northern California the essay topics have shifted, though I still retain a focus on pop culture--especially as it relates to the theatre and classic film. I also chronicle my travels and life in California. Regardless of the topic I'm here to be entertaining and fun.

Hey Gang, a little review of my fall reading.... I like doing these buy only a few of you watch. Let me know if I should keep doing them or not. I'm only doing them seasonally.

Hey Gang! I've been active lately. Attached here is a 5 minute tour of the Museum of Broadway, which I had the pleasure of visiting last week on an overdue trip to New York. Also recently posted on my channel is my 5 days of New York City fun and frolic smashed into a 36 minute special. Coming this Sunday I have a new video tribute to the fabulous Josephine Baker who escaped the racism of American to become a star in Paris in the 1920s. Please check it all out.

Hey Gang! I just got back from a super fun trip to New York visiting old friends and seeing shows and sights. Even though I lived there until 2014, I had never been to the top of the Empire Stage Building or seen the 9/11 Memorial Museum. AND--the Museum of Broadway was brand new to me. Also I offer my short reviews of my theatre outings.
