The Kit Kat Club Opens in Tucson ~

The world-famous musical Cabaret is playing in Tucson. The show is presented by Broadway in Tucson and runs through this weekend. It's a shame it is playing in Centennial Hall, a venue (unfortunately) known for its terrible acoustics. You will certainly enjoy the well-known tunes, the cast, and the choreography but the funny and snarky "asides" and much of the dialogue disappear into the void of this badly designed space. 

Amazing Talent ~ enjoy!

This guy is a true Tucson Treasure! Will Houchin teaches K-6 general music, band, orchestra, and choir at Laguna Elementary School in the Flowing Wells School District in Tucson, Arizona. Every Friday he creates a "Friday Song" for his students.  To MAKE YOUR DAY, click this link!

Tucson tourism ~ another iconic motel

I just love the old neon signs around town and this one for the Arizona Motel captures the mood of the last century when automobile travel was a true American past time. It wasn't until I looked at their website, though, that I really appreciated how long this motel has been welcoming tourists. Their website has fantastic vintage photos!

Dog is my Co-pilot ~

I was so happy to spot this handsome Rottweiler riding shotgun. I have had two Rotties and they are wonderful wonderful dogs!
