"Three Cheers For The Red, White, And Blue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                                   No, darlings, I have not become a MAGA--God forbid!  I am merely quoting the intro to the "Freedomland" song of the 1960's.  The other line was "We're on our way to fun--Freedomland!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                                      For those not in the know, "Freedomland" was an Americana style theme park, with exhibits and rides, located on what is now Co-Op City in the Bronx.  I visited there once with my parents.  After five years, it closed and was demolished.

                                                        This is all by way of saying something different than "Happy Fourth Of July!"  Well, the same to you, too, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                           However you celebrate the day--the Original Broadway Cast Album of "1776," the movie version, with Blythe Danner, James Cagney in "Yankee Doodle Dandy," or Joel Grey on the Original Broadway Cast Album of "George M!," make it work for you!  Hot dogs, burgers, a pool, or air conditioning.  Even Jennifer Jones, as Bernadette, which I might require!!!!!!!!!

                                                               Nevertheless, a Happy July 4th to all my readers!

                                                                But remember, as the Lanford Wilson play goes, the fireworks really start on "The Fifth Of July!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
