Beatles On Broadway
She was playing Scarlett O'Hara in an Off-Off-Off Broadway production of Gone With The Wind. It was very ingeniously written and staged using a small company of actors who played everything from people to cannons.
She gave me her number when I spoke with her after the play. I called her late on a Sunday afternoon when I knew the theater was dark.
-Yes, I remember you.
-Would you like to have dinner and maybe a film?”
-I'm waiting for the Beatles to come on Ed Sullivan. Sorry.
-Another time maybe?

The Ed Sullivan theater is on Broadway. David Letterman tapes his shows there these days.
Oh, my, I vividly remember the Beatles' first appearance on Ed Sullivan, hiding my rush of excitement from my mother who was sitting there going on and on about their horrifyingly long hair. Gone with the wind? That's just hilarious.
Gloria-
Nothing funnier than truth.
Thanks for your comments.
I’m not sure why I like this so much, but I do.

Where has Jack Swenson been? Formerly of Minnesota. He wrote on F'naut, somewhere, comment on a story or in a story, that it's the ones who get away men remember best, or maybe he said longest. *
Thank you Steven. I don't know either why it appeals.
Ann, I think that may be true. One certainly remembers such rebuffs.The famous jazz saxophonist Zoot Simms is quoted as saying after the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan."John Lennon just killed jazz." Thank you for your thought provoking comment.

"hiding my rush of excitement from my mother who was sitting there going on and on about their horrifyingly long hair."
In an orthodox Jewish household a mother is worried about long hair(?), which by later standards was well groomed!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
