looking at your table - the old Denon DX. Mate, it’s like I’m back in the early 80’s again.

I have seen most of them, Cabaret is a superb film, Fliddler is brilliant as is Singing in the Rain and An American in Paris. My original post on this subject mentioned ‘when l was younger,’ but a few Blitzers have not picked up on that qualifier. Not my favourite genre, but l will and have watched many musicals over the years. While l managed to avoid Sound of Music, l got dragged along to Mary Poppins. It worked just fine as a movie and a musical.

You missed the greatest musical of all, West Side Story.

97, great effort. Good life and achieved plenty.

Yep, although don’t remember the bouncer/security. It was a different time.
Boxer ‘Marvellous’ Martin Hagler down for the final count at age 66.
He was truly marvellous.
Mate of mine managed to reach the level of Australian super Lightweight Champ, and I value his opinion pretty highly. He said that in the era of Tommy “Hitman” Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran and Iran Barkley- Hagler was pound for pound the best middleweight boxer he’d ever seen.

My Fair Lady wasn’t a great musical. Audrey Hepburn, much as I loved her, was not right for the part. They should have cast Julie Andrews, who was in the original Broadway production.
