Above is a song for the new month — “Try to Remember,” from the musical, “The Fantasticks.” It’s been covered many, many times, but I chose this reunion performance by The Brothers Four (in spite of the fact that some of the old singers have trouble hitting some of the notes) because it’s my kind of music from Back In the Day, blast it.
I’ve never seen “The Fantasticks,” but I know it ran forever on Broadway, breaking records. And in my theater days, people used to joke about the “R*pe Ballet” scene, which was a hoot back then. Not so much anymore.
Anyway, I have lots of labor to do this Labor Day weekend, both volunteer and paid. And I’m feeling remarkably lazy. So you’ll have to be satisfied with what you get. Have a good Labor Day weekend, and happy September.
Labor Day greetings from the room I’m painting today. I think I’m half done, but don’t look at the ceiling. It’s a mess, and I won’t be a-fixin’ it.
