stumble-through

Saw a very strong stumble-through of The Last Days of Jekyll and Hyde down at Rowan University Friday night. No sets, props or costumes and people still reaching for lines, but the thing held together very well. Huge kudos to Peter Clerke, the director and Melanie Stewart, choreographer. And the actors, of course.

We might just have ourselves a show.

Our MMMQ comes courtesy of the I-Pod shuffle. Great thing about the shuffle is you hear things you forget you even had, and in this case I was reminded I have the Cameo-Parkway recordings of ? and the Mysterians, hiding right there in plain sight, ready to rock and juke and shiver at will.

? never gave his name and claimed a Martian past. I believe everyone has the right to be who they want to be, but more earth-bound folk would tell you that ? was born:

1. Larry Borjas

2. Rudy Martinez

3. Joe "King" Carrasco

4. Freddie Rodriguez

Now back to the shuffle.
