  apparently, in the wake of a hurricane in the 50s, I think, the state condemned large sections of oceanfront houses, bought out the owners, and turned them to State Park beaches. They are huge and...

  Yes, that was frustrating as by then I lived in Berkeley. One other time coming East I missed, by one day, Mesplé’s last NYC gig, a recital ar the consulate. The internet makes planning easier!

  I ADORE Sarah Walker, a wonderful Gloriana, and a game addition to the French and Saunders 'opera divas' sketch. There's something so glorious about British ladies with deeper...
