'BROADWAY' IS NOT A 'GAY' WORD

That 'this old geezer' uses Broadway tunes to illuminate his humble attempts to add colour to his posts comes as no great surprise to avid readers of this very public diary.

What is a shocker is that newbies to me style of expression latch onto this 'trick' and make something sordid out of.

When last looked, 'Broadway' IS NOT the private reserve of a special interest group.  Were it, the countless theatres on the 'Great White Way' would have gone dark ages ago.

Never let it be said that folks who canvas the endless posts on FACEBOOK, do not take note of some and pass judgement on.  This old geezer is gobsmacked that harmless filmed bits used to 'splash out' praise for a place known would take it so very wrong.

Gutted even...

Many is the time this old geezer took his place in a theatre and had an 'enchanted evening'.  The world outside went dark and only light and sound of any import was that taking place on the stage in front of.  The music of Broadway made life easier to deal with.

The use of Broadway tune to get a message across is not unique to this old geezer.  Remember well I do that a former president of the United States used a catchy Broadway tune to make folks aware of his name and to think fondly of when in the voting booth.  LBJ was the president and "Hello, Lyndon' ala 'Hello, Dolly' the tune.

It is indeed quite true that the old geezer is a colourful character.  Truth be told, I am in on the trick...

If it be true that 'to love another person is to see the face of God', I do try ever so hard.

I end with another BROADWAY tune...
