Skywatch Friday - West Side Story Edition

(Encore.com)

Hey Skywatchers, the musical West Side Story opened up in New York City on September 26, 1957. It is a great musical by Leonard Bernstein.

I got to see Bernstein in June, 1984 in Houston, Texas where his "A Quiet Place" premiered. He came out on stage afterward to take a bow and people were yelling "Bernie" which I thought was kind of strange since I don't think anybody there knew him personally, especially at the top of the highest balcony where I sat. So maybe the high balcony, way up out of the action is the tie to Skywatching. Yep, that's it exactly....

Skywatch Friday - Battle of the Sexes Edition


(Express.co.uk)

Those bloggers of a certain age may remember September 20, 1973 when Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs in a tennis match titled "The Battle of the Sexes." To me nothing more embodied the goofiness of the 70's more than that match. What does that have to do with Skywatch Friday? I am not sure is what I say, but it was a heck of a spectacle. I think I watched it, I am not sure.I had just started college and I had a lot going on. I think I watched it but you know I find tennis kind of boring (no offense.)
