Birthday Dance and Party for 90-Year-Old Dancer

Please share this video to celebrate Jean Veloz's 90th birthday dance and party.  It is almost up to one million shares and would be another great present.  Although, dancing every dance at that age is gift enough, don't you think?  

UPDATE:  Yay!  Thanks to everyone involved, this video has 1 million shares and more.  (Someone call Ellen DeGeneres).  

"ANYTHING GOES" - at the Ahmanson Theater

When hearing the S.S.America's horn blast the ship ahoy signal, the audience of this musical comedy is about to have more fun than when really on the high seas.  photos: JOAN MARCUS Roundabout Theater Company

With Cole Porter's songs and a new book by Timothy Crouse and John Weidman, the setting is 1932, when life is good and the real celebrities carry tommy guns in their violin cases.  It is when their names are Baby Face and Moon Face.  And, the only criminal the Captain really wants on board is the #1 Wanted Man---Snake Eyes. 

It is no wonder that the show won Tony Awards, in 2011, for it's excellent production and talent.  Every character is so different and colorful and the laughter-filled audience is rooting for them all.    Even the orchestra pit gets involved.  By the look of his Captain's hat, it seems the leader could perform a marriage. 

   

This production could not be more scintillating!  An exquisite feast of setting and lighting, appropriately showcasing  the immense talent on board. 

   So, book your cruise...errr...theater tickets, as this spectacular romp ends January 6, 2013, at the Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles.  This is one journey not to be missed. 

Screen Actors Guild to SAG-AFTRA

I am proudly showing my newly-arrived SAG-AFTRA card.  Since 1993 I have been a member of the Screen Actors Guild. 

The merger with the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists has created the largest union in the entertainment and media industry.

(P. S. My professional name is Spangler Cummings). 

Sweet and Hot Music Festival

If a guest checks in to the airport Marriott Hotel during a Labor Day weekend, they must think Los Angeles is the best city in the world.

The hotel vibrates with sounds of music and dancing.

During the four-day holiday, Jazz, Ragtime, Swing, Big Band and Blues music can be heard from seven stages.

This year's Sweet and Hot Music Festival celebrates 26 years of presenting jazz.

Like the unknowing guests of the hotel, I was grateful to hear the artistry that surrounded me. I continue to be filled by it.

Happy 80th Birthday

We started the dancing at this divine party celebrating our dear friend's birthday. Champagne and fried green tomatoes (she is from Kentucky), complimented every sensory delight for a great time.
