We just watched "The Comedian Harmonists" a German movie set in the late '20's and 30's in Germany. It's a true story about six men who develop a singing act that is wildly popular. Unfortunately, half of them are Jewish. Political and social reality gradually intrudes on their lives and success. It's quite good and at the end the credits provide details on each person's later life. The lead character migrates to America, serves in the Army, and lives in San Francisco until 1998. Which means, though I never knew him, I lived where he did. That history was somewhere in the City, maybe I hauled him in my cab or rode a Muni with him. You never know the stories and rich histories of the people you pass each day, but it's there...so show some respect, eh?
Odds and Ends
Kathy got home today from visiting Woodlees in Watrous New Mexico.
I managed to get most of the house cleaned a bit for her return. Cats did not starve or runaway, either.
So, our little pink house is doing fine. Hopes yours is, too.
My nephew Sean had his birthday yesterday. 39 years old....Jack Benny time.
