"Mrs. Woodwind", my long-suffering wife (well, she puts up with me, anyway), is having a birthday this coming Thursday.
If you have a moment drop her a line wishing her a happy birthday. She's at masako@woodwind.org.
I'm going to see if we can fly over to NYC in the next couple of months and go see a Broadway play for her birthday present (not that I'll mind attending with her ;^) We've never seen a real broadway production.

Important B-Day eh? Must mean it's her 40th; 25 years here this December, no way any man who values his life will go near that one...this one's your job. Making us do you're dirty work for you Mark? For-shame.
A most Happy Birthday and genuine wish for a healthy and profitable year to your significant other and you as well! v/r KEN

Go see something really fun....this year for our 8th wedding anniversary we saw "The Producers". Tickets shouldn't be as hard to come by as they were when we saw it. At that time there was a six month wait for tickets.
check out www.playbill.com for info on shows on and off broadway and on tour....

I personally love The Phantom of the Opera. But whatever play you choose, if it's on Broadway, It's probably good!

Your wife is exactly 10 years older than my sister.
Fun coincidence, I'll make sure I drop a line...

Sounds good Mark, we'll do. Is she Japanese? (Masako sounds Japanese to me! Or maybe this is just an alias).

Yes, Mark, I echo all the Best Wishes to Masako, a Bdwy musical sounds great, my BW would like L'Miserables [sp?]. Now, thats a thot, our 55th Ann. comes up soon, celebrate NOW, "too soon oldt!" Don

No, that's her real name. I was based out of Japan for 5 years; met her at a Shakey's Pizza Parlor in Roppongi about 25 or 6 years back, married her 23 years back (not even <b>close</b> to Don's married longevity!). She calls Soka, Saitama-ken "back home", Novi, Michigan "home".

Mark: Wonder if you ever heard the story of David Benoit's first meeting in Japan with his wife-to-be's father. David was concerned her father might think little of her desire to marry an American Jazz Pianist, but upon entering the home he immediately noticed a great stack of jazz albums. No problem.

Mark,
Sorry I misread.
Anyways my sister was born on the same day as your wife +/- a few years.

TKS, Ken, we certainly are trying for diamonds, but, marrying a bit late requires great care! Mark, a Very H B to Masako, your 40's comment made me think of a great quote, by Elizabeth A Allen [per Bartlett's], "Backward, turn backward, O Time in your flight, make me a child [subst. boy, girl] again just for tonight" !! How true! We need a better understanding of Time i guess. Don

Mark - wow, you really ARE sweet!
Les Miserables is a very popular musical - though you may not come out feeling elated.

I'm 67 and if I had a chance to be 40 again the answer would be NO> I love being where I am. I sure wouldn't try to do it again hoping I could be where I am now. It to hard getting to where we are; to start again.
peace

Excellent choice, Mark, congrats from our Tulsa Band and our 3 Bartlesville players. I've pit-orch-enjoyed the words and lyrics [hearing but not seeing] of the original book [several times], and innumerable stage perfs. and movies [commenting on the diffs., please let us know your thots on the NEW production], listening for the 1907 [statehood] and location Catoosey{a}-Claremore [NE of Tulsey !] references , Will Rogers' "stomping grounds". R & H sure hit the spots of ?"bucolic"? humor in "Kansas City", "Pore Jud is Daid", "Farmer and the Cowman" etc, and tenderness in "Surry-Fringe" and "People Will Say". Who of us cant sing-play these numbers?? I first entered OK in 1941, to work in the "boonies", and the show's stage settings are generally very authentic. GREAT, Don
