In NY City for dinner and a show

If in NY you must see Buena Vista Social Club. Fantastic music and dance. I love cuban jazz so this was an amazing experience. It also sort of raises its figure to the xenophobic morons around us all.

Our son flew to NYC from Austin a few weeks ago, just to see a couple of shows. One of his friends was in one, but I can't remember which one. I think he did see the one you mentioned.

A lifetime ago our Boy Scout troop made the trip to the Jamboree at Valley Forge and followed it up with a few days in New York City. One of the highlights there was the then popular Broadway Musical Lil Abner

One of the kids in our troop was nephew to the show's choreographer which got us all a back-stage visit after the show with Edie Adams who played the role of Daisy Mae

What a treat for a 13 year old! To make it even better, while we were visiting in her dressing room, who would show up but husband Ernie Kovacs.

@Heartlander Wow! That's impressive. I remember Ernie and Edie quite well. My dad made sure we watched the Ernie Kovacs Show every week.
