I was going to tell you all about my visit to Palm Beach, but instead I spent the evening working on Satchmo at the Waldorf, my one-man-two-character play about Louis Armstrong and Joe Glaser, his manager. Now that I've seen two readings of the play in front of a pair of live audiences, I've cut ten pages out of what was originally a sixty-six-page script, written a new speech for Glaser, and done some restructuring of the first act. (The second act worked pretty much as is.) I think that's enough work for one night, don't you?
More about my adventures in Palm Beach--and my current trip to New York--in the next day or two. In the meantime, hang loose.
