During the out-and-back to Big Sandy, Montana yesterday, the temperature got HOT! It was even warmer when we got back to the Flathead Valley. A brilliant Full Moon rode through the night sky. We saw well over a half-dozen Pronghorn Antelope on the Great Plains.

...a homage to a classical American theatrical form -- NY Post
The original Broadway production starred the talented and energetic Anne Miller and Mickey Rooney in 1979. This show features actual Burlesque sketches and musical numbers. It is a historical re-enactment of one of the greatest eras of show business where America's greatest comics received their training before moving to Vaudeville, Broadway, Film and TV.
