Stanisloff Kristalball was in his information highway lane, ready
to wing it from JFK when his I phone with its android ding a ling
applications“Stan the man,”said a voice a drift with passion.”Is you is or
is you ain’t my baby? Coming to our
Idaho night?”
II
How could Stanisloff resist? A
French kiss with a potato. Am Idaho
night showing off his voice.
Compensating for his educational needs or lack of...
Didn’t he wax poetic like Mozart’s “Magic Flute”? The recognition from his teen age yesterdays
gave his image a rocket boost, his sound&fury hadn’t experienced since that
virginal Idaho night, he heard his sound piercing the pines of Boise.

Caught up in his delirium, searching for approbation from
anywhere in the Continental United States , the society of Masonry offered him
a place to hang his hat.
“O Idaho o Idaho Night” like it was a **La Scala “o solo
mio” **

**He bought into his role, playing out his Philadelphia
truck driver
musical voice but not willing to pay the price for lessons.
“You have to lose
your self to find your self”
Didn’t Mario Lanza’s mother tell Esta Kaminsky, Jimmy
Cagney’s steno on the L.A. bus, that her son was cribbing . Lip synching
Caruso’s high C tremors at MGM’s stages
in Culver City...
Unlike Stanislaff Kristalball, he had no confidence.. No
presence of quiet mind . Caught up in the appearance of Face book and its Morgan Stanley underwriter..
V
Freaking out for the quickie. Selling out for ten minutes of
fame.
Up to a point the gullible public buys into it. Then as the New
York Yankees owner says “The team up for sale? It’s all a fiction.”
But it wasn’t always that way. Stanisloff’s role playing
could be attributed to his pops. Identifying with his father, sorting mail on
the torture rack....memorizing the zip
codes 11230....dispatching letters from the Coney Island
Avenue branch, while playing out an understudy role in Broadway’s record
breaking musical “Phantom of the Opera.”
“Off the charts,” cried Stanisloff on hearing that
his pops was winged by the chorus and understudies of “Phantom” to put his name
forward for a 2017 incarnation, a private launching into incandescent space..

rocketing cargo to the International Space Station
Pops couldn’t
stowaway its res ipsa loquitur, orbiting (17,000 mph ) But on the
information highway... if the passenger
manifest is “on board”, Kristalball senior is into the futuro.
Even if he only knew Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon from
reading the funnies Sunday morning..sprawled out on the elevator apartment’s
living room floor.
“Phantom of the Opera” morphs the longest playing musical
into the mobilization of the private
sector from the
Mercury Theater Orson Welles “Invasion
of the men from Mars”
“Citizen Kane” and John Houseman seduced the earthlings into believing they shared their hard nosed realities with
an out of space consciousness in the Tri State area.
“Phantom of the Opera?”
“Indeed”
