I often say, “Life is a Like a Showtune,” usually following some inane
comment I just rattled off similar to, “Hey, Anything Goes!” My mind
is a junkyard of many things, including my nonsensical proverbs courtesy
of Rodgers & Hammerstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stephen Sondheim,
Jonathan Larson, and even Lin Manuel Miranda, just to name(drop) a few.
Some people quote dialogue from movies, literature, television shows,
songs, and the Bible, I am quite sure I have been known to quote from
all of the above and then some. But quoting lyrics from a Showtune? I
am going to guess that is left to me and my gay brethren. Oh, sure, I
have my Showtune Sistren out there, too, but we are a rare breed.
It seems fitting that my
Blog should bear lyrics and content from Showtunes. And yes, I will
capitalize the word “Showtune(s)” until the day I die. It is that
important to me. Now I am not sure where this blogging will take me, how
consistent I will be, what my topics will be, and whether I will
attract any “Jan-Fans.” Hey – I have coined my first club for
groupies! But it is a process and undertaking which I am eager to
pursue, and there really needs to be no definite parameters at this
time. The most important thing is that I AM doing it! So, please join
me as I begin my blogging journey. I do hope you enjoy this adventure
as much as I plan to enjoy it! Feel free to comment here and there as we
take this verbal trek together. And truly, "Anything Goes!"
**Author's note: I started another blog back in 2009. I revisited it from time to time, but never for posting purposes to you, my adoring public. The above entry is taken from that initial venture -- with a little editing here and there. And now, "On with the Show!"
