I'm so excited for my friend and former colleague John Lloyd Young!!! He is in Spokane, WA filming a movie!!! Most of my readers know that he starred in the Broadway show, "Jersey Boys" as Frankie Valli, winning the Tony Award for Best Performance for a Leading Actor in 2006. The "Jersey Boys" soundtrack which features his lead vocals won the 2007 Grammy Award for Best Show Album. He is so talented and such a nice person as well.

JLY stars in a new comedy, "Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay" with Lainie Kazan, Saul Rubinek, Jai Rodriguez, Carmen Electra, Bruce Vilanch and Vince Pastore, shooting December in Spokane, WA. You can see IMDB listing here. The film sounds great and I can't wait to see JLY on the big screen! What a dream come true for a young man that I first met at the public radio station where we both volunteered. He did the show before mine and played Broadway music on his show. I'm so pleased for him and even more pleased that I got to NYC twice to see him perform in "Jersey Boys."

Visit his blog at http://www.johnlloydyoung.com/ and let's all get out to see the movie when it comes out!!!!

Here's one of my favorite pictures from a "Jersey Boys" visit with JLY, from left JLY, me, my pal M-A, granddaughter BEP and my sister Mary.
