The minute I looked at my program I realized the program was not at all what I thought, not a gala celebration of Sills, but rather a real memorial, a loving tribute by friends and family, with a little music. Not
at all appropriate for a frothy write-up of who sang what and how, with cracks at Henry Kissinger (no matter what I may think of him.) Apologies if you read the earlier entry. I'm about to take it down. I hope you heard the broadcast. Carol Burnett and Stanley Sills spoke particularly movingly, and for that matter, it must be admitted, so did Kissinger.
You're a real mensch, Maury. xo
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear.
ReplyDeleteI listened to a lot of it. Domingo and Netrebko sounded wonderful. Bloomberg was funny. I was looking forward to hearing Caroll Burnett, but that "playing in the sandbox" schtick was too saccharine for me.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, Chalks, it sounds like they were pretty good pals, so Carol Burnett gets a saccharine pass for the day, from me anyway.
