Yeston 3 - Tune 2

Waiting on the platform @ 42 nd street yesterday for the # 1 train to Lincoln Center I look next to me & see this uber tall person next to me. I turn to Mrs R & say "Is that Tommy Tune again"?

Lo & behold it was him. We chatted again & he remembered us but not from where we met the first time. He said he was going uptown for rehearsal & if we heard him correctly it might have been for the one man show he did in September.Maybe he is bringing it back for a limited run. I told him he should write a book about the trials & tribulations of all the shows he was in & he said maybe he should but there would be a limited audience.He joked I knew more about him than most people.I reflected I was not a spring chicken anymore & that is why I remember what I did.We talked about the original Follies.

Sadly we had to get off but bid him farewell. There was Tommy Tune, once King Of Broadway, the ultimate New Yorker. He was sandwiched in between two people on a subway seat.

That is one way of looking at it. By the way, he was not born in America but Bethlehem - not Pennsylvania.

Mrs R planned this trip for sometime but the weather turned out to be a problem. She knew it would be cold but not like this. We were probably better off as it would have been so miserable weatherwise in Paris, we would have been severely limited as to what we could have done & many side trips would probably have been cancelled.

Oh well, **** happens. We will go to Niagara Falls Memorial Day weekend & spend a night or 2 there - Vegas Labor Day week & try for Paris in 2011 when the dollar might be worth more than 2 cents.
