Fun time in New York.
Remember those days.
One of the great things about living in Yardley, in Bucks County, is how close we are to both New York and Philadelphia. As an example of this, on Friday night, my wife, Jane and I, took our 3 kids, to see the revival of the musical, Hair, in New York.
Our kids are 31, 27 & 24, and had never seen Hair before. When the show first came out, in 1967, I was a senior in high school. I saw it some time around 1970 0r 1971, with my parents. Jane got an email offer, about a month ago, for half price tickets, and we thought it would be really fun to see it with our kids. We took a train that left from the Hamilton Station, which is about 20 minutes or so from Yardley, at 4:30, and were back in Yardley around 1:00 AM. The train from Hamilton, takes just over an hour into New York. It is really easy to do.
We had so much fun, explaining what it was like when Hair was first performed. It was almost scary, thinking about how long ago that was, although it seemed like yesterday, to us. The music is still great, and the show is still full of energy, and fun.
As the show ended, the cast encouraged people in the audience to join them on stage, to dance to the final musical numbers. Up we went, to make our Broadway debut! Somewhere there is a photo of us, which, hopefully will never been seen in public. I can only say that the lights on a Broadway stage are unbelievably hot!
It was a really fun night for all of us, and its one of those things that makes me appreciate even more, where we live.
