My latest foray into places unknown took me to McAllen, Texas. Perhaps I should clarify that McAllen was not unknown, but more precisely, unseen. Numerous folks from around these parts have wintered in McAllen for years, and I always wondered: exactly what was the attraction?I have a better understanding of that attraction now that I have been there myself. McAllen is located not far from the Rio Grande. It is ...
I?m conflicted. Every time Randy West asks me back to Fairfield for his next musical, it?s a pretty easy decision to make. It?s always great to be back among such friendly people, in such a welcoming town. Access to Paul?s workout room is wonderful, and Everybody?s has everything a vegan could want to eat. Performing in a space like the Sondheim Center is always an honor, and Randy?s material is always engaging....
