  1. Barbra does explain the dark glasses. Without the glasses, the strong lights prevent her seeing the audience.
  2. Older folks remember Streisand for "I Can Get It For You Wholesale" and "Funny Girl" in New York City
  3. There are four of five video up on the Streisand concert outdoors in Hyde Park. She is 77-years old, so takes a minute to get used to the sunglasses and long blonde hair. Her voice still has most of the best qualities, but naturally, she is not young anymore. Too much talking with the audience, and duets with other singers. Still, I am very glad I watched.
  4. I stay in Ipanema now in Rio because it is more like a real neighborhood, although with many tourists, including me. (smile).
  5. Couldn't your fiance find somewhere close by to swim. Just a suggestion.
  6. I met Mary in Philadelphia around 1980. It was a conversation of about five or six minutes, She was a relatively normal person. No cute, I am. And certainly, far less aloof than Merman. "She had that tendency, I guess. Much as I love her Peter Pan, for instance, the same thing happens there. " @bostonman wrote
  7. Yes, the production you mention was in 1996. I remember it now. I agree that a Broadway revival would be difficult now. One reviewer wrote that Martin was "too cute." He was right.
  8. Great. But, it has nothing to do with the Robert Preston Mary Martin musical.
  9. My friend Marino from Argentina. I met him in a political science class at that University of Pennsylvania before he because famous in South America for a Disney TV series.
  10. Of course, it was not his job. And even if he said something, it was likely too late to make changes. And it was too late to tell Yannick to stick to conducting the Orchestra.

    I am not a close follower, just very occasionally. And his disagreement was relatively minor.
