Subject: RE: BS: stay out of trouble thread (stay afloat)
I just learned that a cherished old tradition is overwith.
I lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico for a couple of years. That town had some performers, including an accomplished pianist, who fancied British music hall repertoire.
Every year they would stage something they called West End Christmas. THey would dress in costume, open the show with God Save the Queen (as it was then), and perform a whole evening of music hall songs.
I looked this up on Google, only to discover that several of the main performers, including the pianist, have died. I doubt that there is anyone to take their place now they are gone.
