No need to "Send In The Clowns" for tonight's opening of Judy Collins at The RRazz Room. Each song was carefully selected, Judy entertained us with brilliant back stories and a delivery that was on par with some of the best comedians I have seen, to date. God bless you, Judy!!!
After 52 years of performing, Judy Collins' set list falls under the "So many songs; so little time" category. She promised the set list would change nightly, encouraged all to return, with the caveat that it would take about a month of performing to cover her entire discography!
The audience was filled with long-time fans, as they joined Judy in song after song. In hindsight, the 10 performances in two weeks could have been billed as "What The 42nd Anniversary of Woodstock at The RRazz Room Would Be Like, Starring Judy Collins." As Judy said, "Like camping without the tents and sand."
Also in attendance for tonight's performance: Gil Gross of KGO Radio, Ben Fong-Torres, Suzanne Joy Kai of Asian Connections, Kathi Kamen Goldmark of West Coast Live and Melanie Stace.

SEND IN THE CLOWNS by STEPHEN SONDHEIM
Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Send in the clowns.
Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move.
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.
Just when I'd stopped
Opening doors,
Finally knowing
The one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again
With my usual flair,
Sure of my lines,
No one is there.
Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want -
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns.
Quick, send in the clowns.
What a surprise.
Who could foresee
I'd come to feel about you
What you'd felt about me?
Why only now when i see
That you'd drifted away?
What a surprise.
What a cliché.
Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late
In my career?
And where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother - they're here.
