Every time I babysit, I admire moms more and more. I only have a 4 year old and a 1 year old for 5 hours and I’m SO TIRED! Today we went and saw Dan Zanes in concert, I wasn’t sure who this was but boy did I find out! He has a really great band that plays kid friendly songs, not the “Barney” kind but the kind that makes the parents want to dance to as well. He encouraged the kids to come up to the front and dance, like a mosh pit at a concert. Not only was his band great, he brought on an amazing tap dancer and awesome african dancers out to perform. If you have kids, I HIGHLY recommend getting his CD’s and/or seeing him in concert http://www.danzanes.com/pages/news.php. Despite the stress of babysitting, I enjoyed the show very much. I love the sound of children laughing. It’s one of my ways to relax and “meditate”. Before I would do a show I would wait in the wings before the show and listen to all the happy kids talking and giggling with excitement. It always seemed to relax me and get me focused. Right when the concert started Zoie, the four year old, looked at me with a smile and laugh so big my whole heart grew. Therapeutic? you decide.
After Ethel shows Lucy the paper with what Ricky says is a publicity stunt, Lucy starts to get suspicious. The story in the paper says Ricky is “doing more than just singing and dancing with the new girl Rosemary”. Ricky of course reassures Lucy that there is nothing to worry about. During a rehearsal Ricky accidentally rips Rosemary’s costume and takes it home for Lucy to fix. For some reason Ricky lies to Lucy and tells her he went to the park all afternoon and was thinking about how much he loves Lucy. Lucy then finds Rosemary’s piece of clothing in his pocket and gets very upset and goes back to not believing him. Lucy then schemes with Ethel to figure out how to find out the truth, where is the best place to do that, on the stage. Therefore, Lucy dresses up like a dancer and goes on for the show, of course Lucy finds out she was wrong and ruins the number at the same time, or makes it better.
The thing that makes me sad watching this is Desi really did cheat on Lucille all the time. That was one of the biggest problems they had. He bought a boat and would take women out all the time. Lucille knew it, but somehow was still able to work with him. They needed each other for their work. They were a very powerful couple who were totally believable as a happy married couple on screen. Their “Lucy Ricky” kisses are some of the most passionate kisses I’ve ever seen even to this day on television. I honestly believe they were each others soulmate, but for some reason couldn’t make it work between them. Desi had the smarts and believed in Lucille's comedic genius and her their ability as a team to make people happy.
