Yes we do need hang out, no we have not met in person yet. I'm a Los Angeles area filk fan, just getting back into it all post-divorce. Also keen on folk and "dementia". We have LJ friends in common, obviously.

Barber really did a good job on Harpo's "voice", that's a great way to put it!

"Mrs. Parker" didn't so so well at the box office, mostly I think because JJL's accent and teeth-gritting Connecticut deliver was too authentic and therefore unintellible to most of the movie audience. My theory anyway.
