Sudheer Stole the Show

For the gathering at our house for Tom Robbins last week, Sudheer rose to the occasion.  He dressed up as Switters the main charactar in Robbins' "Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates", who travels around in a wheel chair.  He is forced into this position because a curse given to him by a Shaman in the Amazon with a pyramid shaped head.  It is safe to say that our Beloved Sudheer had never heard of Tom Robbins until this past Spring.  He may have heard of "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues", but only because it was a movie.  Sudheer's interests are different and unique.   This Switters, who is a CIA agent with a twist, loves Broadway show tunes.  Right up Sudheer's alley.  Sudheer arrived in the midst of the gathering last Thursday in a wheel chair dressed as Switters and serenaded Tom and the crowd with some show tunes.  It was over the top.  He closed his medley with a little tune called "Hello Tommy", sung to that infamous tune we all know.  Well, Dear Friends, Sudheer stole the show.  We all howled…at least those of us who have read the book.  As they say in some circles, "You had to have been there", luckily we were.  By the way, that is Susan Page dressed as the nun, Domino Thiry…one of the characters in "Fierce Invalids…".
