I Don't Know What This Is
Radio City Music Hall, Site of Elvis Presley in Concert
By saying "Elvis Presley In Concert" the text on the marquee at Radio City seems to carefully avoid saying that Elvis is "Live" in concert. Elvis, of course, is not "Live" anywhere, in concert or elsewhere.
Radio City Music Hall, Site of Elvis Elvis Presley in Concert
I don't remember exactly when it would have occurred, but many years ago an event like this was slated for Radio City Music Hall, but cancelled on account of lack of interest. I think they must have just advertised poorly for that event. There was no such lack of interest this time, as the concert appeared to be fully sold out.
Spirit of the Dance, by William Zorach
Main Theater at Radio City Music Hall
The only other concert I saw at this theater was the Christmas Spectacular. That just have been in 1993, at which time it seemed like one of those events everyone has to see if they live in New York. I barely remember that event. This is not such a great photo of the interior, but I found Radio City to be quite beautiful inside, bold and even a bit gaudy, but not garish or obnoxious.

WCBS DJ Joe Causi Introduces Elvis Elvis Presley in Concert
Joe Causi spoke briefly before the concert began. I still miss Cousin Brucie, who retreated to Sirius/XM satellite radio after WCBS made its needless and failed transition to the much-loathed Jack-FM DJ robot format.
The Elvis Presley EP Logo
For a concert like this I would have thought the organizers might choose a more rock and roll logo than this. This looks like a logo for a bar of soap.
Elvis!
Elvis takes the stage. Only for a few moments did I experience a sense of weirdness about it all. Elvis is projected on enormous movie screens while members of the original band and a few guests play on the stage below. The weirdness quickly evaporated for me when I decided that if Elvis were doing concerts today his image would probably be projected onto enormously huge screens just like this one.

MAyfair 3-4940. Rotary Dial Telephone.
I spotted this rotary dial phone at a second-hand shop in Queens. I do not know if MAyfair is a variant on the MAyflower exchange in Brooklyn, or if this phone was from some place outside of New York. The phone cost $28!

The Moonraker.
The Moonraker, docked across from the Adirondack II, was an object of fascination to some of us. It is a private boat. I mistakenly associated the word "Moonraker" with James Bond film "Goldfinger," and I found myself singing the Shirley Bassey song by that name, replacing the word "Goldfinger" with "Moonraker." It sounded good in my mind.

My New Temporary Address
My new temporary (very temporary) address. This item was shipped via UPS. UPS used to be unable to deliver to USPS post office boxes. These days some retailers use UPS' "Mail Innovations" as a bridge between UPS and USPS-restricted delivery addresses, such as my P.O. box. I've had mixed luck with items delivered through UPS Mail Innovations. One package took months to arrive after languishing in a Jersey City post office for 5 or 6 weeks.
