20 years after 21...
On this blessed day, 20 years ago, I turned 21 years old. It was quite an event. I was, as you can see, "tight in the waist and cute in the face." My dashing outfit had been in layaway for weeks at the Oak Tree. I even set aside my trusty station wagon and rented a 1984 Lincoln Town Car for the day. When I brought the Lincoln home, my mother had a fit because I blocked the neighboring gas station's driveway with it since we lived on a main street. Of course, she thought I was crazy but it was my special day. I went to see Dreamgirls at the Shubert Theatre in Chicago. Jennifer Holliday was not in the touring cast but Sheryl Lee Ralph was in this production. It was a great performance.
This birthday is special. Thursday evening, I went to see Dee Dee Bridgewater and she was fabulous. Last night, I went to see the one of the masters of the bossa nova, Joćo Gilberto and tonight I am going to see Clairdee. It is going to be a fun weekend.
