Vallarta Mirror, Puerto Vallarta (2025)

21/11/2025

Good Morning, From Here, November 21, Friday
I have been writing my column ''From Here'' for a dozen years or so with slight variations in the title and for different publications, but it has always been written From Here, from my heart.
2026 will mark 40 years since Puerto Vallarta cast an indelible spell on me, and after spending two weeks here in 1986, my life was rerouted completely and utterly, and in February of 1991, I moved here permanently. When I started writing my column, it was for all the people like me, who I used to be, trapped in a cold environment, planning a vacation to this amazing city.
Fast forward from eight years of writing a weekly column with a 750-word count for the Vallarta Tribune that abruptly stopped publishing, then switching to PV Mirror until it teetered on the edge of oblivion two years ago, when founder and publisher Allyna Vineberg, in deteriorating health, could no longer physically do the work.
And now, two years later, neither can I.
On December 31st, 2025, the Vallarta Mirror and its weekly companion, the Rearview Mirror, will cease publication - that is to honor obligations to my advertisers. My contributors, all who have lives, will be fine.
And I will continue to do what I love above all else - writing about Vallarta and particularly about our thriving entertainment industry. From Here will continue to be published in VallartaCalendar.com (Around Town) and on Facebook exactly as it is now. It is all the other stuff not created by me that will drift away.
Let me be clear - I have a chronic neck condition that is exacerbated by hours in front of a computer screen. Not life-threatening, just life interrupting. So, I am open to talking about the future of Vallarta Mirror if there is/could be/should be one. Perhaps there is someone who wants, no, not wants, someone who can afford to revive the PV Mirror's printed persona.
I have lived a fabulous life thus far, and frankly, it pi**es me off that I cannot physically do whatever I want anymore. My body has given me a clear and firm warning - do only what gives you utter joy, or I will shut you down.
My utter joy is seeing and listening to Vallarta at play, then writing about that.
Trying to convey in mere words to those who could not be with me at the concert or a pick-up singalong in a restaurant, the vibrant colors of the voices, the bodies, the souls laid bare of our exquisite artistic community, bursting with love of their craft, having to share parts of themselves with me personally and with you, my dear readers by happy default. That's what I have to/want to do with the rest of my life without pressure.
Thanks for reading; I feel better already, From Here.

Good Morning, From Here, November 20, Thursday
Another lovely friend of mine has passed away. Alicia Partida's ashes were to be spread yesterday at the Botanical Gardens; however, some family members want to be here for that, so it was rescheduled to a later date. Patrice and I are headed that way this afternoon for lunch and to say hi to Curator and Founder Bob Price and his wonderful staff that keep that gorgeous project alive and well. Alicia sold me a bunch of her dresses more than 20 years ago and is 100% responsible for my love of floral-patterned fabric. I wish I could thank her again; I had planned to see her this coming Tuesday at a get-together at Sandra Bradley's house. Perhaps I will find her amid the flowers and the hummingbirds at the Garden instead.
Patrice and I walked over to Morelos Street late yesterday afternoon and caught a photo of our giant Catrina on the Malecon with her head surrounded by some cool clouds. We arrived at the new laundromat aka White Rabbit Lie, and after some seconds of trying to open the door, the owner Andrea, swept the door open with a flourish and a laugh. I looked for the camera that I know is there but like White Rabbit Lie itself, nothing is quite what it seems. Our front row seats were reserved in advance or we would have been standing! Evidently, the B34st has an enormous following. Band members were squeezed in tightly on the center stage in a diamond fashion so that nobody's back was toward the audience, and we were happily ensconced in front of one of the finest drummers we have seen in a very long time. Wow - he was terrific. Lead singer and bass player Wario was in fine fettle.
Jan Dorland and Rob Burton joined us, enjoyed a flute of complimentary champagne (I love the stemware!). Then we ordered a round of WRL's signature Old Fashioneds. They are fabulous - just bourbon and bitters and a splash of sweetness mingling with a chunk of ice - a superb cocktail.
Our adventure out to the Botanical Garden will start around noon today; if you have not been, go! It is truly one of the finest public gardens in the world and is celebrating its 20th anniversary this month. Tomorrow we will visit Madeline Milne at her new Living Room Bookstore Cafe in 5 de diciembre, then we will take in the early show at The Palm Cabaret for Celine Dion: The Power of Love, at 5 pm. Amy Armstrong returns to Nacho Daddy at 7:30 pm on Saturday with 'Mimi' on guitar and Eugenia on violin. Her voice is sufficient cause to fill any room, but her sense of humor and comedic timing are off the charts with spontaneous outbursts of dialogue that seem to just pop out of her mouth. She is outrageously hilarious. Nacho Daddy is always a good time. Until tomorrow, take good care of one another, From Here.

Good Morning, From Here, November 19, Wednesday
A month or so ago, right after his 2025-26 opening of his show at The Palm Cabaret, I asked Roy Cruz if, after five years, he was getting tired or bored with Freddie Mercury and the music of Queen in his twice-weekly shows. He said, ''The more I research him and his life, the more honored I am to sing his music.'' I have seen many tribute artists comment after a solo about how hard it is to reach and hold that final high note, or how exhausting the dance routine is while singing. That never happens when Roy is channeling Freddie Mercury. I always sit in the front row so I can watch the eyes, see if the entertainer is calling in his performance or living it.
Cruz is so comfortable in his/Freddie's skin, he can branch out of the script and make a fuss as he did last night with Vallarta's finest monumental sculptor, Jim Demetro, who was in the audience celebrating his 83rd birthday with his wife Eva and daughter Christina. The Demetro family and I go back decades to when Jim was first preparing his 'Vallarta Dancers' sculpture, which now stands at the foot of Guerrero Street on the Malecon extension. I didn't get a chance to hug them after the show, but I will try to visit with them soon.
The four of us left The Palm after hugging Roy and his fabulous dancers, and made our way across Zona Romantica to the sister club, Coco Cabaret. From a block away, we could see crowds of people outside on the sidewalk. There wasn't room inside! Out and About Puerto Vallarta magazine publisher Jerry Jones wrote me this morning that people started arriving early for the Gay Mixer at 5:30 and were still showing up at 7:45. The fact that there was a show at 9 pm finally put a halt to the revelry. Over 400 people stopped in to try to buy a drink and get to know someone new. Wowza. Next Gay Mixer is at Daiquiri Dick's. We'll see you there next Tuesday at 6 pm.
Open Mic at Nacho Daddy last night reunited pianist Derek Carkner and Gouda Gabor from their days performing together at Incanto. Derek is another of those naturally funny people who could leave their current professions and careers and leap into stand-up comedy! His rendition of 'Poisoning Pigeons in the Park' by Tom Lehrer, written in 1959, actually shocked some of the audience members! Sargento Dan sang as did Nick Rogers, promoting his upcoming show at The Palm - the music of Josh Grobin - and Diana Frances put on the skintight, plaid pantsuit and became 'Match That Sn**ch' host, Gene Gayburn, to promote that show coming to Nacho Daddy on December 01. This show was a smash hit last season, so get tickets quickly for the season premiere or their second (only!) show on December 08.
Scrabble at The Q today at 12:30 and White Rabbit Lie at 6 pm, From Here.

Good Morning, From Here, November 18, Tuesday
Coco Cabaret was full of friends, supporters, sponsors, and fellow performers for the premiere of 'Rock the Opera' last week. Finally, dear and sweet Tonny Kenneth, under the Music Direction of Edgar Bernache, stood before his peers on stage and brought the house down. A little Simon and Garfunkel, Metallica, and more, mixed in with Puccini's 'O Mio Babbino Caro.' Wow! A highlight was Mexican countertenor, Freddy Othelo, and Tonny in a duet from Phantom of the Opera. The entire audience lined up after the show to personally congratulate Tonny on a superb show. I have never seen anything like it - nobody just left the theatre - that speaks volumes.
Irrepressibly optimistic Zoë Lewis was in fine form at the piano or playing her guitar and the guitar's 'baby' ukulele at The Palm Cabaret and Bar. This mishmash of her former shows will have to do for her myriad fan base until January, when she will unveil new works. Zoe is funny and poignant at the same time. She writes as easily and with the same passion about hummingbirds (she travels with a feeder) as she does about Fabuloso, a highly scented, liquid cleaning product originally from Venezuela that has flooded the Mexican and US markets. Zoe surrounded herself with fine musicians and friends, including Zoe Wood on guitar, David Linares on percussion, David Maiocco, who was occasionally pulled from the audience to play the piano, and Fernanda Hernandez, who contributed vocals toward the end of the show. Everyone who has the pleasure of seeing this troubador vaudevillian will leave the theatre with joy in their hearts; she is a marvel.
Patrice and I, and our two friends who are visiting from Canada, met up at Garbo's Bar after Zoe Lewis's show to listen to our friend Sargento Dan belt out Broadway classics.
Sargento has two shows a week at Garbo's Piano Bar. His early show at 8 pm on Sundays features a Broadway singalong to tracks. His late show starts at 10 pm every Wednesday, and he is joined by maestro Bing Young on piano. Sargento encourages patrons to sing along with him and provides lyrics via a QR code on their smartphones. Sargento's 'Whitexican' sense of humor is blossoming, and if he ever tires of singing, he'll be a shoo-in as a stand-up comic. To be in this young man's company for two hours, singing some great old songs together in an extraordinarily comfortable bar, is delightful! Sargento's coaches, mentors, and most prominent supporters were in the audience: Jan Dorland and Rob Burton. Patrice and I are having dinner with them tomorrow night after we turn them on to the new bar on Morelos Street called White Rabbit Lie, and their stellar Old Fashioned cocktails. Local band The B34st will be playing at this exotic marvel of a bar masquerading as a laundromat. Full report on those shenanigans in good time.
Tonight, we are seeing Freddie Mercury at 5 pm at The Palm Cabaret, the Gay Mixer at Coco Cabaret, and Open Mic at Nacho Daddy (whew!) From Here.

Good Morning, From Here, November 17, Monday
'Tease' returns to Coco Cabaret for a second season, with a new, mindblowing show. A few elements from their first shows at Industry three or four years ago remain - the bathtub, fingerpainting in an entirely new (black) light, and others that remind us of the fantastic skills this company of acrobats possesses.
The international team of gymnasts consists of four men and one woman of varying heights, but all are perfectly constructed - well-muscled to be super strong and supple ,but they clearly can get through life without bones. No regular human can bend the way these athletes do, seemingly with no effort. They scamper up to the 6-meter-high ceiling of Coco on fabric and, from there, become geometric shapes, perfect squares in the air, then plummet down at the speed of light and lightly touch the stage with a toe to end the perilous flight. How on earth do you practice this stuff?
The bathtub scene is erotic and fun, and not nearly as drenching as it was at Industry. The stage at Coco is deep enough for two boys to play in the water with only a modicum of splashing that involves the audience. The gymnastics that occur while holding onto soaking wet surfaces - the bathtub itself and the two bodies - is breathtaking.
I don't like 'spoiler alerts,' so I won't even mention a couple of the most astonishing features. You need to see this production with your own eyes and re-gift yourself the genuine awe of childhood.
Another Coco Cabaret production worth seeing more than once is Dia de Mu***os, which is suitable for all ages. It is more than 'suitable' - it should be required viewing for everyone who still believes death is the end of life. Costumes and makeup get high, high marks in this production, and because host Nacho Granados shares his duties with Roy Cruz (Freddie Mercury tribute artist at The Palm Cabaret), I may have to see this at least one more time this season.
If there are any families out there reading this, pack up your kids and/or grandchildren and head to Coco to see Dia de Mu***os and learn how Mexicans traditionally look at death. This one tricky, hard-to-deal-with element of being human is deftly, succinctly, and lovingly handled. And, it's set to lively music and dance in two languages.
Come back tomorrow morning for a rundown on Tonny Kenneth's first significant production at Coco Cabaret, Zoë Lewis's return to the Palm Cabaret, and Sargento holding court at his early Broadway singalong show at Garbo's Bar.
Tomorrow night has us seeing Roy Cruz star as Freddie Mercury: The Man, The Voice, The Legend at The Palm Cabaret at 5 pm. Following that is Out & About Puerto Vallarta magazine's Gay Mixer at Coco Cabaret from 6 to 8 pm, topped off with Come Blow Your Horn, Open Mic, starring Gouda Gabor at Nacho Daddy at 7:30, From Here.

Good Morning, From Here, November 14, Friday
For every plan A, there has to be a Plan B. I found out late last night that Madeline Milne can't be at her new Living Room Bookstore and Cafe in 5 de diciembre to meet with Patrice and me this morning. A look at my calendar, that is getting more and more crowded as Season progresses, it'll be another week before we can get together. While a disappointment, it eases up on the other stuff that has to be done today. Or not - the only two things that can happen, right? You get stuff done or you don't. Hopefully, either way there is little disruption, but that is life.
A month from yesterday, on December 13th, will be one of the most fantastic events happening in Vallarta. If you have had the pleasure of attending a party at Casa Yvonekka, you know how fabulous they are. This year's celebration is even more poignant in light of the recent passing of Yvonne Kalman. Her last wish before she died in California last week, was for Frida X to go on without her. Her Yvonneka Foundation will continue, and by attending this fabulous gala next month, you will be honoring her memory exactly the way she would have chosen. It will seem strange not to see her there, resplendent in her family jewels, head adorned with flowers, drink in hand, and a lovely smile on her face. If ever a woman was 'regal,' it was Yvonne. Her foundation has saved thousands of dogs from a miserable existence on the streets of Vallarta and will continue to do so with your help, of course. By attending Frida X, 100% of your ticket price goes to Yvonne's precious puppies. For more information and tickets https://vallartacalendar.com/events/frida-x-annual-fundraiser/
I am excited to see the latest Airotic show called 'Tease' at Coco Cabaret tonight at 9 pm. Tomorrow, also at Coco, I am revisiting one of the most beautiful shows ever produced in Vallarta called 'Dia de Mu***os.' It is a history of the Day of the Dead traditions in song, dance, and video clips of interviews. My sister is entranced by Day of the Dead and always has been, and I know she will love this show. It made me weep with its raw generosity of spirit, and I am delighted it has been held over past the beginning of November. Everybody will learn something new in this fantastic production. We will stay then for 'Rock the Opera' starring the irrepressible Tonny Kenneth, which follows at 7 pm.
We are also planning a trip to the enormous tianguis on Sunday morning in Mojoneras. Plan B will include extra sleep. We'll see which prevails! We haven't been to 'Mojo' for more than a year; it will be a great long walk. We can get through the Coapinole tianguis in two hours; Mojoneras requires at least four hours, which will include getting lost in the maze of streets selling everything from a used piece of 1/2-inch PVC to a camper truck. It is intimidating and can be overwhelming the first couple of times you go, but if you are looking for bargains and have the time, Mojoneras is a busy gold mine. Actually, more like an ant hill! Go and enjoy!
Until Monday morning, have a good weekend, and remember to share the love, From Here.

Good Morning, From Here, November 13, Thursday
Friends are arriving from Canada tomorrow - both Patrice and I will be happy to see them, share some shows, foodie news and maybe intice them to pop into Vallarta's latest Speakeasy for an amazing cocktail.
White Rabbit Lie is the creation of Andrea Wranik and her son, Chris, who moved from Las Vegas to live in Vallarta. They also brought a lot of Vegas pizazz.
Patrice and I stood across the street and looked over at the brightly lit 'White Rabbit Laundry.' The address was correct - 701 Morelos, and I knew White Rabbit Lie was the proper name of the bar, so they had to be connected, but my brain was thrown off by the incongruity of it all.
Where the hell is the door??? Found it and tried this latch and that k**b to no avail. Pushed and pulled every lever and nothing worked. After a hot minute of 'should I stay or should I go,' the door swung open, and with a cheerful, Cheshire Cat grin on her face, Andrea let us in to the soundproof, dark but inviting space.
Rob and Sunny Rossi were sitting close to the door on a long banquette with a view of the stage and the rest of the bar; the best seats in the house, and we happily joined them and Lupe Patterson and Selena Luna, who were on the other side of Sunny from us. The conversation was linear and centered primarily on the list of cocktails that we, as invited guests, were there to test-drive, so to speak(easy... I coudn't resist). With classic Alice in Wonderland-theme names, like 'Through the Looking Glass' and 'Mad Tea Twist,' we started with flutes of champagne and eschewing the gin, chose a couple of other drinks, but when Patrice ordered a simple 'Old Fashioned', and let us all give it a sip, the bartender was busy making us all one! OMG, it was delicious!
The dancers, choreographed by Andrea, whose parents were both professionals, were extremely well-rehearsed and comfortable with one another. Lots of hip hop with Latin numbers sprinkled in to make the repertoire interesting and varied.
The decor is fascinating, with parts of the ceiling dressed up as heaven, very cool wall lamps that resemble the coasters, and tables with chairs that mimic suits in a deck of cards.
The sound system is fabulous with zero leakage into the front entrance. Just know you will be fooled, and know too that on the other side of the baffling door is a closed-circuit camera with a rescuer in wait to take you by the hand and gently lead you down the rabbit hole, and see if you get larger or smaller with the signature cocktails of White Rabbit Lie.
Going to the Living Room Bookstore's new location in 5 de diciembre tomorrow morning for coffee and some nibblies and to pick up some used books. I know owner Madeline Milne will have some cool things for sale mixed in with the bestsellers on her shelves. See you again at the crack of tomorrow, From Here.

Bingo at Nacho Daddy starring Lydia Damato at 4 pm today! https://vallartacalendar.com/events/colina-spay-and-neuter-clinic-bingo/

12/11/2025

Good Morning, From Here, November 12, Wednesday
Just before I headed on vacation this summer, Jerry Jones, the publisher of Out & About Puerto Vallarta magazine, suggested we have breakfast at Trovasi on Aquiles Serdan. It was my first time eating there - what a joy! We revisited a few days ago to celebrate our November bdays, and to catch up on the latest happenings in the city. One bite of the fresh berries in cream blasted me right back to Sweden, which holds first prize in the pastry division among all the countries we visited in Europe. With crisp linen tablecloths and napkins, Trovasi blends European charm with Mexican warmth. They are now serving dinner as well as breakfast and lunch! I am looking forward to introducing my sister Patrice to this culinary haven tucked into Los Mercados on Aquiles Serdan.
The third season of 'Come Blow Your Horn,' Open Mic hosted by Gouda Gabor at Nacho Daddy opened last night. Only one newcomer was on the roster, a Cuban who will be showcased at Coco Cabaret coming up soon. Bing Young presided over the keyboard and played beautifully when called upon.
It was Lydia Damato's birthday; she shared her cake with the crowded room! (Something I am loathe to do... just sayin'!). Lydia joined Gouda onstage for a quick improv sketch with Canadian Funny Girl Diana Frances, who will be bringing two shows to Nacho Daddy this season, plus teaching an Improv workshop at Arte Vallarta. Make it a habit to check VallartaCalendar.com daily as part of your morning routine, along with your coffee, to see what's happening where. There is no reason anymore to miss a thing!
Hilariously funny with a full-bodied voice, Amy Armstrong is back for another season at Nacho Daddy, with two shows a week; it was lovely to hear her voice again. Angeloo took some serious good-natured ribbing about marriage from Gouda Gabor; he was justifiably baffled, and, at 12 years old, that wasn't surprising! Angel belted out two of Patrice's and my favorite numbers from his repertoire. Miana Melendez gifted us a jazz song perfectly rendered. I believe she has found her niche. And Zoe Lewis is back! Come Blow Your Horn was a fantastic return of 'Incanto-Days' energy that has taken on a life of its own under Gouda and Nacho Daddy's care, and can often be the best show in town, every Tuesday at 7:30 pm.

Scrabble today at The Q at 12:30, followed by Colina Spay and Neuter Clinic Bingo at 4, at Nacho Daddy. Directly from there, Patrice and I are off to a Grand Opening downtown - a full report on those happenings in the morning. In the meantime, be sure to engage everyone you pass on the street today and say hi with your eyes, From Here.

Good Morning, From Here, November 11, Tuesday
As is tradition in Vallarta - at least for Scorpios, birthday celebrations will continue until the end of this month. That means all pieces of pie/cake are happily accepted for another couple of weeks.
Qulture, a visionary concept by Jim Lee, celebrated its 7th anniversary last week. Drinks and passed hors d'oeuvres flowed for hours in the Art Gallery/Restaurant/Bar to the tune of a rock band that offered up super dance tunes. The wait staff was kept extremely busy, and owner Gabriel was caught on camera happily washing glasses - helping the bartender so he could refill them for the dozens of guests. I will be back at 'The Q' tomorrow for Scrabble.
Langostino's on the beach has been a part of my celebrations for many years in Vallarta, and my birthday number 74 was officially started with a chile poblano omelette on the beach on a perfect day, with my sister, Patrice, and dear friend, Brian Bott, enjoying the lovely food and scenery.
Later in the day, Music in the Park returned to the Isla Cuale, sponsored by the Vallarta Garden Club. These free concerts, held in a spectacular outdoor setting, featured child prodigy Angeloo, tucked under a massive shade tree by the Rio Cuale, and showcased why he wins voice competitions. He finished the afternoon with a rousing rendition of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' with lots of help from his audience. The Garden Club offers chairs for rent; however, you are also welcome to bring your own. Or a blanket if you prefer to sit on the grass. Wine and beer are available for a small donation; please also bring a tip for the performers. It is a lovely way to spend a late Sunday afternoon. See VallartaCalendar.com for dates and information on who is performing every other week at 5:30 pm.
Patrice and I strolled across the Island, remarking on its beauty and applauding Guy Weeks and the Vallarta Garden Club for their often heroic volunteer work beautifying and preserving this last remaining strip of Mother Nature in the heart of our city.
We ended up at Il Pesce. (soon to become 'Nomada') on Constitución for our favorite pasta dish, featuring mushrooms and truffle oil. I have had this delightful homemade fettuccine every time I have gone to Il Pesce, and each time it has been replicated to perfection. I cannot say that about any other restaurant anywhere.
The congenial owner of Il Pesce, Carlos Venegas, invited Patrice and me to accompany him to see the soon-to-be-inaugurated new home of Il Pesce. We walked a block over to the former Banderas Bay curio shop/fab folk art gallery/store run by the Bowmans for years. Inside has been transformed into a sleek, stylish eatery with a pet-friendly open garden in the back, a small holding bar up front, and the main body of the restaurant looks straight at a brand-new kitchen galley. It is like being in the belly of a grand ship - if ships had exposed adobe brick walls. Stay tuned for Grand Opening details soon, From Here.

Good Morning, From Here, November 10, Monday
Santi's Place brought in a couple of adorable puppies for adoption at last Friday's 'Game On with Christian' at La Catrina Cantina. Santiago himself was there alongside volunteer David Smith, keeping the two rescue dogs more or less contained on the patio. A Jeopardy/Trivia game packed the upstairs bar on Lazaro Cardenas with about a dozen teams vying for over 30k in prizes. This game show concept has been gaining popularity every other week at La CC, next up on November 14. Teams gather at 4:30, and the show starts at 5 pm. Our Scrabble Team is patiently waiting in the wings for a chance to compete!
Tonny Kenneth's show that followed was super special as Tonny's family was visiting from Panama. They all received ecstatic hugs after every song; he was so happy to be performing for them. And us! Don't miss Tonny's show, upcoming this Saturday at 7 pm, at Coco Cabaret, titled 'Rock the Opera.'
One of last year's surprise hits of the season at The Palm Cabaret was a tribute to Bruce Springsteen with Mau Jimenez. This season's iteration is even better with the 'Olas Altas Street Band' (forget E-Street!), comprised of Edgar Bernache on keys, Paul Lions, guitar, Hamlet CV, drums, Jared Garcia, bass guitar, and fine saxophonist Oscar Terrazas.
All of your favorite songs are here to sing along with or dance in the aisles. Give it your best 'Courtney Cox' and you may end up dancing with The Boss himself onstage.
''Who's the Boss'' also stars two beautiful roadies - Eva Jimenez, LOVA co-producer of the show, baby sister of Mau, and superstar of the Pink Tribute at Coco Cabaret, and their big brother, Alejandro Balderas, who filmed the entire show and streamed it live.
I was struck by the outflow of loving chit-chat from Mau between songs. Here is Mau, a Mexican singing Vietnam War Veteran protest songs, the smash hit 'Born in the USA,' far, far removed in age and space from that terrible phase of American history, but focusing on the now, this moment of celebrating the music of a US icon in a Puerto Vallarta Cabaret, with a captivated NAFTA-fueled house. Mexicans, Canadians, and Americans predominantly comprise the audiences at The Palm. Mau said at one point, ''Music is love.'' That is all there is.
'Who's the Boss' is a kick-ass rock and roll show from the first note to the standing ovation at the end. If Bruce Springsteen were ever in the audience at The Palm, he would be the first on his feet, cheering, and wishing his voice were as good as Mau's. And, if you're, like me, not particularly a Bruce Springsteen fan, you will still hum an unforgettable hit or two and smile all the way home. An irrepressible and loving tribute - bravos to all involved.
Birthday number 74 is in the can. I want to thank everybody who hit the send button on the automatic Facebook birthday reminder, as well as those who sent personal messages, and everyone I didn't know at Il Pesce. last night, who sang 'Happy Birthday' loud enough to be heard in Tepic. I am grateful, From Here.
