Tribute bands can be very good. Back when the big
bands were still big, Reader's Digest I think it
was compiled albums of some of the bands' hits,
but because it couldn't get cheap rights to the
original performances, hired unknowns to try to
duplicate them, which they did very well.
Some are almost as good as the original--hard to tell the difference
unless you're very good at catching nuances.
Most often the tribute bands will be technically
better than the originals - if young musicians
doing covers were as instrumentally inept as the
Rolling Stones (say), they'd get noplace.
And I saw the Broadway musical Come Fly Away, which
featured Twyla Tharp's dancers accompanied by Frank
Sinatra's voice, with the original instrumantals
stripped out and replaced (in a reversal of the norm)
by a live band!? that performed at least as well as
the originals.
More than one way to get around it. What does the Carole King Broadway
show do?
Don't know. Did it feature any part of the
original songs - King's voice, the instrumental
accompaniment (largely piano, I seem to recall)?
miles an hour - and vice versa. (t's partly, not
exclusively, my choice to live this way.
And, being single, you have wider options than if you were married.
It's more the lack of kids than anything else.
Secondly, the lack of pets.
I'm not even going to try it out. Sounds like something that falls
into > the "what were they thinking" classification.
Aren't you. Big surprise.
Have no idea when/where my next time flying would be or if I'd remember
this conversation and try to "pull something off".
Like what would/could you do?
Nup, if they'd gone into carryon, if this was
after 9/11/01, they would have been confiscated.
Probably so, it was August of 2017 we had that trip. I wrapped them in newspaper, then put that in a zop lock bag, well padded, in the center
of the suitcase. Opened it up when we got home, found stuff somewhat
messed up, a note from TSA and the bag had been opened/jellies rewrapped
not as well as I'd done. Also found damage to the (hard side) suitcase
but couldn't prove who did it so couldn't put in a claim.
When my stuff has been opened, it's been more
often than not that the bag was repacked better
than originally.
In our earlier lives, seafood - including most
bivalves - were pretty cheap. Those were the
days when Catholics would eat seafood only on
Fridays and would invite their Protestant
friends over to share the misery.
I'd have gladly accepted the invitation. (G)
No doubt.
