I wear many hats: work in group home for teen boys with MH issues, teach Zumba in senior centers, sing in choirs (church & synagogue)…and anywhere they’ll have me! Also opener of cat food cans and editor of Connecticut Butterfly Association newsletter…
I wrote this song for today—No Kings—and played it at the Middletown event. I’m sure that version was better, but I don’t know if anyone recorded it…

Aug. 14, 1924. Lee Adams, a lyricist who teamed with composer Charles Strouse to write the songs for Broadway hit “Bye Bye Birdie” and the “All in the Family” theme song “Those Were the Days,” is born in Mansfield, Ohio. Adams (right in first photo, left in 2nd) turns 100 today.

So sorry to hear about Charles Strouse. I worked with Lee Adams, Joshua Logan, and Charles (who we all called Buddy) on a musical starting Ray Bolger, ALL AMERICAN, in which he wrote the unforgettable song “Once Upon A Time”.

Figgy stole my spot
Under da blanky
Beside da mama

I fink about hitting
I fink about hissing
I fink about taking it bak

Insted I climes on top da blanky
I skwish da Figgy a liddle
I kurl up beside da mama
I purr and fall asleep
