My FANtasy: "Next year at an Adam concert:
ל'שנה הבאה L'Shana Haba'ah -- "Next year in Jerusalem" -- is a phrase that is often sung at the end of the Passover Seder and at the end of the Ne'ila service on Yom Kippur. Its use during Passover was first recorded by Isaac Tyrnau in his 15th century CE book cataloging the Minhaggim of various Ashkenazi communities. (Eastern European Jewish communities). The phrase “next year in Jerusalem” can be interpreted in many different ways (that is a conversation for another time) but it is almost always an expression of yearning, of hoping for better times in the future.
Inspired by this expression, I created my Hebrew own:
בשנה הבאה בקונצרט של אדם
Roughly translated....
Next year at an Adam concert
Yes, I am yearning for a FANtasy -- a live concert with live music -- and Adam singing.
I believe I am an addict going through withdrawal!
So, what do I want?
I want QAL to open for Adam Lambert.
And I want to hear Adam sing some old favorites and some new songs and a couple of new covers. And I get to invite all the people to the concert. (It's my FANtasy.)
Oh, and it will take two nights! Night One, QAL and Night 2, Adam + More QAL

To all on the Gulf Coast in the path of Laura, please stay dry and safe. My prayers. Abbeyville, LA in SW Louisiana is my holiday home and it is my favorite place in the world.
Lache pas la patate - A Cajan expression which basically means hang in there, don't give up. Literally it means "Don't let go of the potato." But is it not about potatoes.
