Clint, Just in case: "God Bless You". I saw Hadestown pre COVID in NYC. Loved it. Looking forward to seeing it on the screen. Also, James Baldwin's Giovannie's Room is one of my all time favorite books. Since you have some extra bed-time on your hands, if you missed this, a good read:

Troy Ford said this about me: "Reading his reflections on Giovanni’s Room—as both mirror and map—is to sit at the feet of someone who has experienced multiple eras of queer existence. He lived through a time when queer spaces were both hidden and relentlessly policed, when a single raid could unravel a person’s entire life.

"I’m grateful—deeply—for the path he and his generation cleared, and the grace with which he now speaks about it.

"Happy reading! ~ MTF

There is absolutely no science behind it. None. But bunches of double-blind studies show that it seems to work at least as well as conventional medicine for chronic conditions, even some infections. Hell, it even works on animals, who you would imagine are immune to the placebo effect. Inexpensive, relatively harmless (unless you neglect your own MD, which I don't). But, homeopathy. The British Royal family's go-to medicine. Crazy, right? 'Nuff said. Maybe too much. I'm discovering to my great surprise (I like science, dammit). That it seems to work on my sorry, overweight and ancient a**. YMMV. You're welcome, I think. I always respect your musical intuitions, they haven't failed me (or us) yet!

If music doesn’t do my body good, it at least soothes my soul. And helps me shake my booty, which is ultimately good for the body. A’ight? A’ight. (Sorry, Hermes’ refrain keeps seeping into my brain.) Cheers!

Joy is medicine, too.

Hadestown is one of my all-time favorite musicals (for reasons that might be obvious and others no-so-obvious).

Thanks for sharing this!!! I am cheering you on and grateful to be friends with you.
