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!"
Congrats! Can't wait to see where this goes. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Candy! It should be a fun adventure, I think. Do you have a Blog that I somehow missed or my old brain forgot? You have an art in your writing!
ReplyDeleteI CANNOT wait to see the goodies that can come out of the combination of Jan and Showtunes (capitalized). I hope that your blogging journey gives you a creative outlet of writing, joy, a little bit of therapy and insight. I know that I'll enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteSo excited that you've jumped into the blogging pond! Stay tuned for my next post, which will also reference Showtunes - you'll love it!
