I hope you do get to see Finian's on the telly, and soon!<br /><br /><br />@Melinda - Yup, those explanations were something else. What I cropped was the additional instruction saying "This space for the address." Not "for address," but "for <em>the</em> address"!<br />I can hardly believe my excitement to read that you were in a production and a Finian show. That is so cool. <br /><br />@Margaret- I'll be over quickly to see your video!<br />NO! I am not coming to New York! I wish it were true, but I do think that you read the beginning of the review by Daily Kos and thought it was by me. It is beyond belief that you get to see Finian's for your anniversary. I really really hope that you blog about it! xoLydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-72456897757625450752009-10-28T20:20:03.041-07:002009-10-28T20:20:03.041-07:00This has been quite a trip, Lydia!

(I did put a great old song on my blog--hit play first, then follow my pictures with the song.)<br />omg, you're coming to New York! I'll put a light out for you! My husband got tickets for our anniversary to see Finian's Rainbow--November 16 (it may be a day or two before; I would have to check.) Billy was in his high school producton of the musical, and I love everything Irish--have been to Ireland twice. I don't know this play so well, but Bill says it is fabulous! As does Lydia! <br />Loved the story of your very elegant and sophisticated tenth birthday party--I've been to Harold's in Reno!<br />Well, remember to bring layers--sweaters, jackets, mufflers, long johns, boots, gloves... Have a great time! xxoxMargaret Pangerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995968579194433270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-76746233907295454552009-10-28T11:47:30.342-07:002009-10-28T11:47:30.342-07:00Hey Lydia,

First, I think it is hilarious that in old postcards, they felt they had to tell you "This space if for writing." (ha ha ha ha ha). <br /><br />I LOVE Finian's rainbow--I was in a production of it as a child and later sang that song as part of a cabaret act I did in San Francisco during my theater years.<br /><br />Your old postcard Wednesdays have never disappointed!<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />MelindaMelindahttp://blog.melindaville.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-79208896526908156832009-10-28T07:09:02.925-07:002009-10-28T07:09:02.925-07:00The first thing i always think of when anyone says...The first thing i always think of when anyone says Finian's Rainbow is the Monty Python sketch where some 2nd rate director is making versions of films with his friends and creates a 2 minute film of Finian starring the man from the offlicence (basically just shuffling embarrasdly in a puddle)<br /><br />However, reading your post has made me wish i knew a bit more about the original. Next time it comes on telly i will give it a try.<br /><br />On the subject of which there was a thing in the free paper the other day saying that Tommy Steele (Fairly sure he's in the film?) is currently playing Scrooge in the UK and still fighting fit in his 70s!<br /><br />I always love the level of information you provide with these postcards and this was especially personal xxDon't Feed The Pixieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380146661526476947noreply@blogger.com
