Well, dear readers, I am writing today’s notes shortly after midnight, so it is today and yet to me it is still yesterday. I am writing these here notes shortly past midnight because I have an early rehearsal tomorrow and don’t know if I’ll have time to finish them in the morning. Therefore, I shall finish them now and then I won’t have to worry about it. The only problem with writing these here notes now is that I’m very tired and I’m not thinking so clearly. I’m thinking about bed is what I’m thinking about. Thinking about curling up underneath my sheets (no mean feat) and hitting the road to dreamland. However, before I hit the road to dreamland I have to finish these here notes and that is all there is to it.
Dear reader freedunit sent me a press release from playbill.com for the album Do I Hear A Waltz? Funny having a press release as if it were a brand spanking new album, when the album came out last November. Yes, that is mighty funny. The other funny thing is that the press release neglects to mention the producer of the album. That is mighty funny, that neglecting to mention the album producer. That almost made me do the Danny Thomas Spit Take that was so mighty funny. Oh, well, I’ll bet if we all put our collective heads together we can figure out who the producer of that album is. I’ll bet we could all illuminate those people over at playbill.com, that’s what I think. Freedunit certainly illuminated them because he copied me on what he wrote. It was a fine thing he wrote although I think it will make not one whit of difference to them.
Have I mentioned that I am writing these notes the night before the following day? Isn’t that just too too? I haven’t even thought about what these here notes should have in them, content-wise. That is because I am thinking about my bed and my sheets. I am in my shorts ready to be in my sheets. Isn’t that lyrical? I am in my shorts ready to be in my sheets. If that isn’t a Meltz and Ernest song then I’ll eat my toe.
I am happy to announce that we have a Highest Winner as well as several High Winners in our handy-dandy trivia contest. But I simply can’t announce them here in this section because Mr. Mark Bakalor will come and bitch-slap every living one of us. So, let’s appease him and click on that Unseemly Button below, thereby thwarting his bitch-slapping efforts. That will show him.
There, his bitch-slapping efforts have been thwarted and he has been shown. By the way, does anyone know who the producer of the new cast album of Do I Hear a Waltz? is? I read an article about it but it didn’t have the name of the producer.
Aren’t these short paragraphs? Very seemly these paragraphs are – finely manicured these paragraphs are. Brief, to the point, these paragraphs are. After tonight’s very long rehearsal I was very hungry, so I stopped at a 7-11 and got some chips. These were a brand new kind of chip, entitled Fiery Ranch. I had no idea just how fiery these Fiery Ranch chips were. I should have had a clue when I opened the bag and saw red chips. Really red chips. My mouth is now numb, but my sinuses are clear. My stomach is already revolting against said red chips. I think most stomachs are revolting, actually. Inside and out. Anyway, these Fiery Ranch chips are in my stomach and my stomach doesn’t like them one or even two bits. I shall never again eat red chips that are fiery and have come from a ranch.
Well, let’s get to our trivia contest winner. The question was:
Name the male performer who was in two classic musicals, played professional baseball and had a rock and roll hit, and name the two classic musicals, the baseball team and the rock and roll hit.
The answer: The male performer was Bert Convy – the two classic musicals were Fiddler On The Roof and Cabaret. He played on several baseball teams, including one that no one guessed – the Hollywood Stars right here at Gilmore Field, which was located next to Farmer’s Market. The rock and roll hit: Bert was a member of a group called The Cheers, who did the classic Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots.
I put all the names of our winners into our very own handy-dandy electronic hat, and our Highest Winner this week is dear reader Mark Rothman. The High Winners are Michael Shayne, Arnold M. Brockman, Robert Armin and Steve Gurey. Congratulations to one and all also all and one, and if Mr. Mark Rothman will contact me we will be giving him a sparkling prize.
Now, quick, who can tell me what my connection with Mr. Bert Convy is?
Well, dear readers, I know these notes are on the short side, but it is now one o’clock in the morning and my eyes have grown heavy and my sheets are calling my shorts. Since we forgot to have our free-for-all post day on Sunday, let’s have it today. So, the topic of discussion is whatever you want it to be – multiple topics if you so choose. Let’s have lots and lots of posts – I’ll be home in the afternoon to see what’s up and will join in on whatever merry discussion is taking place. Post away.
