The Andrews Brothers swing at the Roxy
THE ANDREWS BROTHERS runs June 12,13,17,18,19,20*,24,25,26,27 During the Vietnam era I watched Bob Hope on TV bringing entertainment tours to the troops in Vietnam. Bob Hope showed how important laughter was as it worked its magic on the most stressed-out Americans. If laughter could work on them, it could work on anyone. Before the seriousness of life eventually swallowed them, my parents loved to laugh. They grew up in hard times of the depression when it was impossible to laugh but imperative.

It takes great talent to be able to do something perfectly and then do it clumsily.
