A Snap
A Set
The original idea for the A SET was a fashion set, but I have once again decided to take it in another direction and so I present my set ... Famous People Named Rose! (How many can you name? Use the comment box below to let us know. Hint: there is a connection between someone in the set, and the song below.)
A Song
I had a few choices for the song, and I realized that they all came from Broadway shows. Since I have Broadway almost in my backyard (or is it my front yard?) I grew up going to Broadway shows. And so it was for my children as well. When they were very young, my wife and I took them to the circus at Madison Square Garden. After it was over, we decided to walk over to Times Square and then, quite spontaneously, checked to see if any discounted tickets for any (about to start) matinees were available. As it turned out, we were able to get tickets for a revival of GYPSY which was then running. This would be their first Broadway show ... but not their last by any means. Here is Patti LuPone singing EVERYTHING'S COMING UP ROSES from GYPSY. (Patti LuPone won the Tony Award for her portrayal of Mama Rose.)
