As Mary Rodgers said, "Ask me when he's dead."

[gvendo2005]

Have we not figured out already that he may never die??? Publish already!

[PalJoey]

Bump for Jay Lerner-Z.

Seeing my request from two years ago, I can now confidently say, like Moms Mabley, "That old man is dead. Good."

PJ, I refer you to your promise above. I expect the book by year's end.

[Jay Lerner-Z]

Just finished reading through the entire 6 pages - so glad I asked the question, especially as I can never find what I'm looking for when I try searching. Thanks!

Bump for N2N Nate

As a long-time lurker I just want to add my thanks for these memories. I've read this post a few times in the last few years, but never actually said "Thank you!" :)

[OperaBwayLover]

I can't believe I haven't said thank you either. I always enjoy re-reading this thread. Thank you, PalJoey, for all of your wonderful stories!

[Sally Durant Plummer]

Just read this entire thread. Wonderful!

[g.d.e.l.g.i.]

Every now and then, we've got to remember these stories.

[Sally Durant Plummer]

Thank you for the wonderful stories, PJ, so beautiful and moving. And if you ever publish that memoir, I'll be first in line to buy it!

[PalJoey]

Feeling suddenly nostalgic, as John Lennon said, for "lovers and friends I still recall. Some are dead and some are living. In my life, I've loved them all."

Thank you for bumping this thread Joey. I always love re-reading your adventures on the WSS revival - - - I recall I gushed on to you about Hector Jaime Mercado.

The beautiful and talented Hector Jaime Mercado

I saw this revival but I don't remember anything about it. How is that other people have such perfect recall?

Another clip just surfaced of Debbie and the girls dancing America:

A much better version has been on You Tube since 2008

This thread made my day-so many amazing posters on this board and PJ has always been at the top of that list!

[PalJoey]

Oh, of course. That's why the background--which is NOT Oliver Smith's set!--looked so familiar. I didn't realize the "new" clip was just America number lifted from the same broadcast.

[CarlosAlberto]

I still want to marry Hector Jaime Mercado.

Can't blame you Carlos. Hubba!

Well, there was that one day he made me an honorary Shark...
