about this blog

In Hello, I Must Be Going, author Charlotte Chandler writes about being on the red carpet with an elderly Groucho Marx the day he was to receive a special Oscar. The crowd went crazy when they saw him; for her, silence. Then one person cheered. After that, Groucho called her "One Cheer." Recently, a review I wrote on itunes got a "yes" vote, and I thought, "Hey! I have one cheer!" Intoxicated with my new found fame, I started a blog.
