First we watched a great show about Johnny Mercer, the great lyricist, and his music on TMC. Mercer was born 100 years ago this month, so this channel is featuring his work during this time. What a treat to get to listen to this terrific music and learn more about this talented man.
And, because our local PBS station showed it twice, we were able to watch the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor award show. The prize this year was awarded to Bill Cosby. This man has had a huge impact on American humor, and even his early work is still wildly funny and is actually timeless. We can all remember his piece about God telling Noah to build the ark.
In any case, it was an unusual evening, and most enjoyable.
These are the famous cantilevered balconies at Fallingwater that hang over the creek. They're not quite level, but have been stabilized so they won't sink any more.
