DR edisaurus - The Milford Plaza has gotten better over the years.  Just know that they have "small" rooms, and then they have small rooms.  If you happen to get a small room upon check-in, just go back to the front desk and ask for a "small" room.

I don't know anything at all about the Milford Plaza, but if they still have those singing/dancing porters like in their old television commercials, I would stay there!

Ooooh! I forgot about that! I'm sure my DH will just love that!

Seems like people all over town love our Larry (and Bruce too). I just came across a CD by:

Darrin Baker

In the booklet he says if you see Larry Moore on the street, you should run up and give him a big kiss because he was one of the people who made the CD come to life. He also lists a Mr. Bruce Kimmel as one of his inspirations.



I have that CD and it is quite good. Darrin is on Little By Little Produced by BK



Larry did the orchestrations especially for the cast recording

Der Brucer wants jalapeno poppers as an appetizer.

The oven has just beeped, signaling that it's hot enough to start the poppers cooking.

I'll be back.

Oh dear!  Don't the baths in New York have a Lost & Found area?

Yes, they do.  But I learned a long time ago never to bring my wallet with me.

...Nevermind.

"Pandora's Box" was a group created by Jim Steinman and featured  Ellen Foley.  Dance of The Vampires's song "Original Sin" was  taken from their album.
Meatloaf fan DR Danise (Has anyone heard if she is OK?) woud no doubt know the album.

Yes, you can.  In fact, I believe a DR or two may have done such a thing in the past.

DR Ginny - sorry about your "incident" today.  Hope the rest of the weekend is better for you!  And that your boss doesn't hold it against you when you speak your mind.

DR singdaw - thanks for the concern.  It helps to know that I could retire any time I decide I can live on the monthly pension.  The closer I can get to 30 years in the state retirement system (I'm at 27.5 now) the better it'll be.  And I think it got the boss's attention because I'm not one of the chronic complainers.

And I guess it's sort of "funny" that we're talking about the Milford Plaza, since I was playing auditions for 42nd Street this morning.

DR Ginny, I am sorry to hear about your lousy experience today. I'm sure you hate excitement of that kind, like I do.

I hope you enjoy a quiet evening home tonight that includes some ice cream.

Thank you, DR DearReaderLaura.  Ice cream sounds like just the thing - I even have the sweatshirt that says, "There's nothing wrong with me that a little ice cream won't fix."

From the opening paragraph in the new Entertainment Weekly cover story:

...there was a chilly January afternoon in Montreal.  A bunch of buffed-up manly men stood around a cavernous warehouse, wearing red capes and leather bikini briefs.  Though every step outside brought the dreaded threat of shrinkage, there was surprisingly little complaining on the set of the bloody swords-and-sandals epic 300.

Sounds like one of the bars in the "gay" village in the East end of MTL

Yes, I think that's the one.  You can't miss him, every shot is framed around HIM rather than Babs!

Yes he was quite memorable. I have been trying to find out who he is. Babs never calls him by name in song and there are other uncredited dancers including the guy who played Ice in West Side Story. (TUCKER SMITH) Whom you see for about 10 seconds in the Sunday Clothes number. He is on the train.

Anyone know who the blond dancer with glasses is?

Well....harumph!

I went to the ASCAP website, looked up the information, and then sent a charming letter to the "publisher"/administrator listed for one of Craig Carnelia's unpublished songs, explaining why I wanted a copy of the music, and how could I get it, I was willing to purchase it, etc., etc.

I just received a response that the song "is not available at this  time," but that I was more than welcome to purchase his new songbook, which is the same as the old songbook, except that it has about 5 or 6 new numbers in it.  But not the one I was looking for.

Just....harumph!

Which Carnelia song do you need?  I may have a copy in my files.  -I've also played for his class a few times, so...

For the second day my email is not "working".  I can access through the my provider's website but that really is a nuisance. I'm hoping that I've not inadvertently changed a setting on my PC .

Apologies to all those many many many DRs who have emailed me over the past two days.

Do you really want to go there, with this crowd?   :)

Well... Our wonderful stage manager keeps an old tackle box filled with Lifesavers, Jolly Ranchers, Hershey Kisses, Hershey Miniatures, etc., etc., etc. on her table.  And she labeled it "Pandora's Box".  -And it's right next to the tin of Ricola Cough Drops and the tin of Altoids.

Oh, yes... I meant to mention that earlier.  My wallet was in my room.  Whew!  It was not on my desk, but on a box opposite my desk.  Under the Duane Reade bag with my cough drops in it.
