At the time I wrote that, I deduced it after a friend in Chicago asked if I could go with him and went to look at dates. I have work in Chicago every January and was hoping I could work them into the same visit. I wouldn't fly into Chicago just for that [[however, I am writing this from New Orleans to see Miss Ross' last until next year) on my way home from Palm Springs. Anyway, we are looking at seats and realized it was not selling at all. I prefer not to do this so early in January, so I don't want to change my plans if there will not be shows in January. Today, it was confirmed tickets are off to a very troublesome start. If anyone thinks this makes me happy, it does not. I've attended Mary's shows, paid, enjoyed her ballads and been perfectly well behaved as some on this list are quite aware. I don't wish her harm. I did at one time, but not for ages.
