I appeared in numerous musical stage shows
My life was full of movement and not a steady slow
I am actually dancing and feel my flow
I performed at the Lily Langtry Dinner Theater at the RADISSON Valley Forge Entertainment Center, Mount Haven Resort, Milford, PA in the POCONOS and Gretna Theater Playhouse in Mount Gretna, PA in which I took part in 4 Acts of the “THE CHRISTMAS CAROL” and 3 ACTS of the “NUTCRACKER” and Off-Broadway in New York City Town Hall, “I NEED A MAN”, A Gospel Stage Musical Play
Show Biz in my blood
The enjoyment feeling like an overflowing flood
There was a time I was asked by one of the performers to be their baby, but not in the romantic way, the bottle and diaper bid
Much as I tried to duck and dodge, I just couldn’t be hid
It was delightful in seeing the audience laugh
My moment with the audience in see this baby dance
It was an opportunity and I took the chance
I played an Egyptian King
“It was the king having dancing girls dance for me being the thing”
I would sing to start
Then the Entire cast, “Ready set go and make their mark”
A past entertainment from been
It was a start from my when
Show business that came from then
But it all suddenly came to an end
There’s my entertainment class act
Now, what do you think of that?

I love telling people from
empire nations I am Irish.

We never colonised another's
country, nobody speaks our
language, nor does our flag
fly anywhere else, but here.

When I go on holiday, I book
Radisson's, I like their slogan.

" It's not where you go, but
where you stay, that matters ".

But for a moment, what if there wasn’t any Broadway
Imagine no music, audience and no Theaters
Hear the silence of no entertainment
But reality, the excitement of Broadway that is still here
It’s alive and kicking
Oops, I accidentally kicked someone in the ****
That is what you get when you are eager to perform
I read the book, “The Secret Life of the American Musical, How Broadway Shows are Built by Jack Viertel
Jack Viertel is the Senior Vice President of the Jujamcyn Theaters and operates Five Broadway Theaters
He has several Tony Awards for many productions on Broadway and New York’s City Center
Production is what brings Broadway to life

Yet before any show even thinks in coming to Broadway, there must be a planning stage at the beginning
The Process goes into Costumes, Props, Special Effects, Dance Numbers and Script Writing
The Costumes have to be fitted just right and shoes, Music fitting the Theme of what the Broadway play is about
The Props must compliment the stage with all the Spotlights and Color
There must be Dazzle and Razzle having appeal for the audience
Persuasion having an approach in publicity in promoting any Broadway show
There are sometimes Broadway show samples forming a presentation
I have been in some Broadway Style Musicals performing with Cast myself at the Radisson Valley Forge Hotel Convention and Entertainment Center
So I have some ideas in how Broadway shows come together

But I learned a lot about Broadway also from my Famous Great Uncle Eubie Blake who was a Pianist and Composer in Broadway Shows years gone
It was creation and perfection at its best
But in order to bring the Broadway show to full production, everything from the Script, Numerous Dress Rehearsals along with test special effects
You now have an idea of behind the scenes in how Broadway Shows are done
Broadway is ready
The stage and the curtain is ready to go up
Before I get ready to step out and perform
The Broadway experience is a thrill of a lifetime
It starts with the music and sometimes with humor
My heart is always destined expel my talent
But Broadway truly is having the sounds with applause after bound.

For RG.

On the day you passed
I was in Istanbul
And the ATM outside
The Radisson Blue Hotel lobby
Swallowed my card
And I couldn't work out
Who to contact for help

On the day you passed
I drank coffee in a bakery
On the street
Where the gypsy woman
Selling flowers
On the corner
Gave one to a stranger
Asking nothing in return

On the day you passed
The people in the hotel
Looked worried,
Said it was strange
But  I knew why
The sun went in
And it rained and rained
And the man on the corner
Yesterday selling sunhats 
Started selling umbrellas instead
And  I got drenched to the bone
And never wanted to see the sun again
Because I felt so sad and alone
