[moe]

James Brown & Curtis Mayfield the same day, westgrand? That's a lot of talent!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Yes Moe, it's good to hope that, when we all go to Spirit, the talent continues.... somehow.

I imagine the audiences must then become a lot bigger....but with no worries about insufficient seating, parking for cars, or queueing[[*) for the cloakrooms!

[[*) I used the longer spelling ; apparently, 'queueing' is the only word with five consecutive vowels...[[just thought I'd throw that in there...LOL)

[moe]

Glad you're giving me something to think about since my move.......

[westgrandboulevard]

And if Arr&bee is reading this, and thinking Moe's new home is now Buckingham Palace, the answer is 'No'.

Not quite...

Moe, if you've not already viewed them, look out for UK TV productions 'Elizabeth at 90 : A Family Tribute' [[BBC broadcast); and 'Our Queen at 90' [[ITV broadcast).

I feel one may be amused.

[moe]

Are we in those two broadcasts, westgrand?
You think R&B would be jealous?

[westgrandboulevard]

We're there, Moe. We're there.....

And I did think I spotted Arr&bee, in a crowd shot.....

[sophisticated_soul]

So Jackie Jackson was born on his mother's birthday, must have made mum very happy - and so close to Mother's day as well.

My sister's first son [[of three) was born on her Birthday.......
