On this unseasonably warm evening Joan and I attended our fifth play of the 2017 season, Always...Patsy Cline at the Preston H. Thomas Theatre in The Merry-Go-Round Playhouse. Based on the true story of Patsy’s friendship with Houston housewife
Louise Seger, this story follows their pen-pal
correspondence. The
audience, which included a bus group from Buffalo NY was enthusiastic, especially when they applauded "Walkin' After Midnight" and "Crazy".
Jacqueline Petroccia, a seasoned performer of Always...Patsy Cline, did a spectacular job in the title role.
Sally Mayes as Louise Seger provided the humor for the play.
The crowd enjoyed Mayes' foray into the audience when she danced with an elderly gentleman. Her mention of radio station B104.7 (Syracuse's New Country) went flat, probably do to the majority of the audience was from out of town.

If you child needs monster management, this witty story is for you.
While some collaborations are interesting, some of the short stories left me wanting more. However, the familiar characters (Joe, Jack, Temperance, Virgil, and Regan) did held my interest.

Unfinished indeed. Jonathan Gould focuses on the times in which Redding lived, the world of James Brown, Little Richard and Sam Cooke. The Stax label, ’soul music’ and Otis Redding - synonymous.
On this
Labor Day evening Joan and I attended our fourth play of the 2017 season, Ghost - The Musical at the Preston H. Thomas Theatre in The Merry-Go-Round Playhouse. The
weather was most cooperative although it was wet when we left. Once in
our seats we surveyed the crowd which was somewhat near capacity. The
audience was enthusiastic.

Borrowed the movie staring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg from Seymour Library. Joan and I watched it one night about one week after the play.
