'Twas mentioned on the Susan Werner list (and I'm assuming it's innocuous enough to repeat here) that the Chicago shows were a double bill with Lucy and Susan Werner and that they ended with an impromptu duet of the Beatles' "If I Fell," alternating lead and harmony! (sound of Benay wincing at having missed something great that is not necessarily likely to be repeated soon...OK, so there IS no sound to that...well, PICTURE then...) Benay reluctantly off to a friend's apartment to begin a week of dreaded before-work turtle-sitting duties, which will no doubt provoke much wincing of a different variety ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2003 14:52:26 -0400 From: peter cox Subject: [lucy-list] apology Hi, listers You may have been bewildered by a message I inadvertently sent to the list instead of my agent - also named Lucy. It was early Monday morning and I was cramming the emails before a long drive. My brain must have been the same size as one of the turtle's Benay is looking after this week.
