The Act One Finale for La Belle Helene "pars, pars, pars pour la Crete" is also the tune used in the Act One Entry of the Kings for the Festivities and Contest of Intellectual Prowess. It occurs about seven minutes into the 9-minute finale.

Can you recommend a recording?  Unfortunately, there isn't one in my library.

Oops, I checked again and there is one, with Felicity Lott, soprano.

Back from annoying errand which, at least, was quick.  Now I must shave and shower and be on my way to Teddy.

Check your email. If you ant the entire opera-bouffe, I would suggest the recording with Felicity Lott conducted by Marc Minkowski. Jessye Norman, whom I like a lot usually, is out of her element on the old WEMI recording.

Hiya

very excellent final dress rehearsal last night (jeez, I'm tired...) and I'm so up for tonight!!! The director added yet-another music cue, to go in tonight... scribble, scribble, little Pen...

The info is at www.roguemachinetheatre.com -

In answer to a question from yesterday, YES, I am still scribbling stories for www.FineArtsLA.com - but haven't had any time at all to take advantage of all the free tix I could have had for really great concerts... I'm also not going to be able to take advantage of free orchestra seats to Jessie Norman at UCLA and Frederica von Stade in Long Beach... ah, well - I'd rather sing than be sung at..

It seems like days since I ate anything... maybe I'll go scrounge around in my sister's refrigerator... I think there might still be Seder leftovers.

GOOD NEWS - FOR SOME

If you filed your Income Tax return on time and opted for electronic funds deposit for rebates, you should receive your Economic Stimulus check next week ($600 for most singles earners).

Sorry, Jeff, but I'm with the buyer.  SOME sellers charge a flat rate "per item" regardless.  It's one of those "gotcha" clauses that the buyer is supposed to detect BEFORE he bids.

It's along the same lines as selling something with a $.01 opening bid, but the shipping/handling charge (handling equalling labor, I guess) is something along the lines of $29.  And, of course, it's something that can be shipped via USPS for $4.80.

Except that my description clearly explains everything in easy to understand, 2nd-grade level English.   ;D

Good Afternoon!

One load of clothes drying here at the apartment, and my bed linens are currently drying in one of the big dryers up the block at the laundromat.  I've also put away a slew(!) of CDs and DVDs - most of which, alas, are still in their shrink wrap.  And now I'm having some lunch.  So far, so good.

Happy News in the land of McLaughlin and Morelli. It means we will be separated from the end of July through the middle of October but it's for a good reason.

Anthony got a job!!!

Congrats to Ant!! :D

Will we have to start posting photos of pin-up girls to balance out the beefcake on Pogue's behalf?  ;)

As he stays very busy and doesn't post much, I don't think so.

Besides, Pogue has posted several beefcake photos of himself!

No, it never crossed my mind.  Ben was surprised to see Sayid in Tikrit.  He would not have been surprised had he "expected" to see him.  IMO, of course.

Well, I think I knew this, but maybe some others here on HHW do not....

Warren Berlinger is the nephew of Milton Berle....

I did not know this....and Mr. BK might well be seeing Mr. Berlinger today at the Ray Courts Show!

DR George-What a fantastic difference the chrome faucet makes.  It looks very sharp.  I’m sure you will be very happy every time you see the white one looking good at your parent’s and pleased it isn’t in your kitchen anymore.

Thanks.  This is actually one of the few times that I've made a decision myself about what to do with any kind of decorating. ;) Most of everything that I have, I've gotten from my family or friends, and I've liked what they've given me...and my sister painted my place with great color choices.  The only other things that I specifically chose are my big clock, my new TV and the stand for my new TV that I plan (hope) to put up today.
