Hi all The infection rate is dropping and the academic year is kicking in... some sort of return to normality ... Two new releases this week. First up, for the kiddies, is the animated Cranston Academy: Monster Zone, which has not been released States-side yet, so reviews are scarce. For an older audience, we have the unorthodox Music, which did not appeal to the professional critics although some members of the public liked it. On the previews side, there are previews all over all day Saturday, and Sunday at some venues, for next week's Songbird, which takes a look at life under Covid-23 ...See the previems page and remember to book.

At first, it was difficult to follow all the steps, but after a few weeks I felt that I had a good grasp of the routines. One day, a fellow classmate stopped me to say, “I’ve been noticing you. You’re very coordinated.” I couldn’t have been prouder. “Thank you,” I said. “Yes,” she continued, “your shirt matches your pants, and your pants match your socks.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I was in my 20s, I had a streak of gray hair. One day, a complete stranger noticed and said, “I really like your gray hair. Where did you get it done?” “Oh, thanks,” I said. “It’s natural.” She recoiled. “Oh my, what are you going to do about it?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A student stopped me in the hallway to say that she’d just learned that her mom had had me as a teacher. Then, after looking me up and down, she asked, “Did you used to be good-looking?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- As a wannabe musician, I took advantage of an opportunity to play with a local recorder group. During a break in our first rehearsal, the woman sitting next to me, an accomplished musician, said, “You have a beautiful vibrato!” I was basking in the glow of her praise when she added, “You’re not supposed to.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I met my brother’s new father-in-law, he took my hand and said warmly, “You look just like your brother. He has a big nose too.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- One morning shortly after we got married in our 60s, my husband and I were sitting on the bed putting on our socks and shoes. Out of the blue, he reached over and patted me on the knee, saying, “I am so glad we got married.” He was being romantic, and I appreciated it. “Me, too,” I said. He continued, “Do you have any idea how nice it is to open my dresser drawer and find my underwear and socks all folded nice and neat?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- After I sang a solo in church, an elderly gentleman offered me his highest compliment. “I liked your song for two reasons,” he said. “You sang it well, and you didn’t sing too long.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Somehow, a friend and I got on the subject of age, which led him to ask how old I was. “Thirty-seven,” I said. He cocked his head and asked, “Is that all?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- We adopted our daughter from China when she was nine, and we soon discovered that common American phrases and idioms didn’t come easily. Case in point, the time she tried to praise me for being outgoing and having lots of friends. With a great big smile she declared, “When I grow up, I want to be a big mouth just like you!” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Happy birthday! You don’t look 60, but I remember when you did!” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From a reference letter written by my first boss: “Sarah is very lazy. When given a task she immediately figures out the easiest and quickest way to complete it. This tends to make her highly efficient.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was taking my four-year-old grand-son out of his car seat when he gazed into my eyes and delivered this bit of wisdom: “Papa, you’re old. But at least you’re not dead yet.”
