Hey!
I heard you on NPR this afternoon! You sounded great. Marching beside you for human right's...

Behold some of Broadway’s biggest flops…

















So, should the composers, lyricists, actors and all the other people behind these endeavors have hung their heads in shame, disappeared from view, never to be heard from again? Of course not. These people did not fail; what they did do is try to create something worthwhile. Not to have tried at all would have been to fail. In trying, they achieved a form of success.

Life’s Harmonies

LET no man pray that he know not sorrow,
Let no soul ask to be free from pain,
For the gall of to-day is the sweet of to-morrow,
And the moment's loss is the lifetime's gain.
Through want of a thing does its worth redouble,
Through hunger's pangs does the feast content,
And only the heart that has harbored trouble,
Can fully rejoice when joy is sent.
Let no man shrink from the bitter tonics
Of grief, and yearning, and need, and strife,
For the rarest chords in the soul's harmonies,
Are found in the minor strains of life.
~Ellen Wheeler Wilcox
From: Custer and Other Poems, 1896

In any case, have a good one and thank you for giving the world Edward Zanni!
