OK let’s get serious. That title, btw, is a gloss on the 1967 documentary Tonight Let’s All Make Love in London, a behind-the-scenes look at the capital when it really Swung–and not just for the City and the Viscounts.
I love to drive slowly down Hartford/West Hartford’s Farmington Avenue and note such landmarks as the neighboring former homes of Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Got into that habit during my forty visits there to interview Osipenko in the late-1990s.
and also, my heart goes pitter-patter as I approach the Tangiers specialty food store.
But the jewel in Hartford’s cultural crown is theWadsworth Atheneum museum, a now much-enlarged survivor of the Twain-Stowe era.
Up to now I’ve been there only twice, both times to see their exhibit of their collection of Diaghilev costumes.
But now it seems another visit is a MUST.
