Can you believe that it's been over a year since I started working on this series? Hard to believe on the one hand, but not so hard on the other, I guess. There's been a few... distractions, shall we say, Humble Reader(s), along the line but all good things come to those to wait. Or perhaps to those who have nothing better to do? I know that YOU, of all people, have better things to do, but as for myself... well, I'm not so sure. This might be the best thing I can do, so it's a damn good thing that I'm finally getting it done.   Now, I know this is at cross-purposes of a sort, but one of the distractions that I've been dealing with is the previously mentioned exhibition of my dad's work at the Historic New Orleans Collection in my benighted hometown (which is, at this very moment, having its collective ass kicked by hurricane Ida). As part of that exhibition I created a 22-minute film which I have to say I'm fairly proud of. If you've got 22 minutes that you've nothing better to do with (see above) I hope you might find that if you watch my cinematic offering you might not despair of having squandered those precious minutes too carelessly. One hopes. So here's the link to my dad's website and its News page where the film is embedded, via the good graces of YouTube. I hope that you enjoy: https://johnclemmer.com/news   In the meantime, the show must go on and so here it is: The final installment of The Shows that Mattered. Hopefully the future will offer more Shows That Matter and one day there will be a part The Quatre, but let us not get ahead of ourselves.
