Wow, Clint. Right after I thought "I'd shot my wad"with friends on your birthday list I found one more. Way back after the Radical Faerie Gathering in the Pecos Wilderness (1972or3) a bunch of faeries came back to stay in my dome on the land south of Santa Fe. They were piled all over the house which was basically a 7 level spiral of rooms inside a 40' diameter dome that I had built over the previous year or two. James Broughton was one of them. We all went down to the Cerrillos Cafe one morning and had a rolicking breakfast feast. They all left in singles or bunches but James stayed on for a few more days with me. What a HOOT he was; one of the gentlest, least self-restrained men I've known. He just burbled poetry!! That weekend at the dome is mentioned in either "Gay Spirit" or "Gay Soul" by Mark Thompson (who was also there)!! You may also find Fakir Musafar on your list one day, who was also a very good friend.
I think that just sorta "happens" when one is 'out and about' during eras of dramatic cultural change. I just got swept up in groups of really outrageous folks like the radical faeries and get to believing one can DO anything right along with everyone else! So I DID!! What fun!
Thanks Clint. The last ballet I saw online was The Cellist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37Ckpcr9oyY rt 03:25 representing Jacqueline du Pré, Daniel Barenboim, and The Cello, music by Elgar.
Hubert Zapiór is another handsome baritone, but I've only seen him in this production: It's quite loud, so I suggest lowering the volume. rt 08:11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN8yO4khnFQ I think you'll really like this scene.
Uh, I think it needs to be a new rule ALL operas have men in their underwear for at least 10 minutes every hour. I will be revisiting this scene. :-p Thanks, Steve!
Besides that you have Britten's Billy Budd, Orestes and Pylades in Iphigenia, Riolobo In Florencia en el Amazonas, American Tragedy. , Love and other Demons, Productions may vary
Really Clint and Sixes 🩲🩲🩲😜 Cheers DougT however the downside is there is no where to tuck the microphone transmitter other than down the back of your undies (just try not to fart, or else all the audience hears it😮)
Being on social media opens one to the craziness of others. I would guess we both hold to Bette Midler's famous, "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke!" Fondly, Michael

Wow indeed. You’re a man of many tales and talents. Cheers!

LOVE IT!!! I’m living my best life (only slightly vicariously). Much love and light.

I like to channel Sally Jessy Raphael and make them disappear from my sight.
Sorry you have people being rude to you, Clint.
Thank you, Sam. I appreciate your gentle reminder and eternal kindness. Cheers, my dears!
Cheers Sixes

Oh, now I wanna be a mic tech at LA Opera. Will have to talk to my friend who works there about getting an internship.
I once knew someone who got VERY PISSY because I didn't answer his text immediately. Knew being the operative word!!! Arse. I like your style.
Love yours too, boo! Cheers.
If you don’t want my poetry, you can just say that 🤣. I love and appreciate the way you deal with bullshit so much!
Hehehe. Some people…thank you for not being one of them. You’re MY people. Hugs, Ricky!
