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....

Welcome to Skywatch Friday where people from all over the world post great photographs of the skies in their part of the world. Your Skywatch Friday hosts are Yogi, Sylvia, and Sandy.
