Yay! I'm thrilled to see that Marty Martin's "Gertrude Stein Gertrude Stein Gertrude Stein" is still making the rounds. The playwright is the uncle of a close friend of mine, and a top guy and hoot, to boot. He and his partner Albert Acosta are two of the most fabulous people you'd ever hope to meet. I'll be sure to send them your link!
Hey, thanks for the comment, I'll pass it on
