I LOVE this CD and show!  I saw it in Seattle and it was wonderful! ;D

Was it not commissioned originally by the Seattle Opera?

Question for Cillaliz (or other wise guy legal-eagle:

If a condemned person is about to be executed, can any of the following absolutely postpone his execution:

He is scheduled to be a witness for the prosecution in another case.

He is scheduled to be a witness for the defense in another case.

He is under indictment in another case.

Two of my fellow directors are sharing a girl
both of them and another director are sharing a girl
and one of them ...requires 14 or 15 women

Boy, you theatre types are so...kinky...errrr...experimental.

She is coming!  I just haven't had a chance to set her up on here.  She is coming, I promise!

I had a great time recording Das Barbecu and it meets my criteria for a good cast album - we made a CD that perfectly replicated the stage experience audio-wise.

Why do we'uns in the South not know about this? We LOVE Das Barbecu!

It did indeed -- and promptly went into my mom's CD player in her car.  She really likes it -- and is now inspired.  I am sure she'll talk more to you about it, but she was wondering, do you just orchestrate or do you also write original music?

BK Is the turntable an ION? I found that but not EONs. I have some old software that I used once or twice but haven't tried in my newer computers. I think I'll try it first. If not, this looks like a great option

Hmm, not sure. I'm guessing that there would be a trial deposition scheduled rather than staying the execution and if he's dead, usually they don't care about additional charges, but one never knows.   I'm guessing

That's it.  I don't have it, but I remember the picture from the Amazon.com listing when BK talked about it before.

I wanted to be a composer at one time; I wrote a ton of songs and several one-act musicals in college.  I decided I was a better arranger and orchestrator than a composer. I still write occasionally, but I feel the skills suit me better in arranging another's music.

Thanx.
I have no US issue in mind; I was just thinking about the Saddam bit of executing him before the other charges involving him and other co-defendents are resolved.

Had a nice flight to SFO from Atlanta on a Delta 757.

Had my own TV screen with movies, TV, sports, etc.

I watched "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Scoop."

Both were enertaining.  Neither was great.  But then....

I've had a few Guinness stouts this afternoon.

I feel no pain.  Not much, anyway.

And I'm ready for a NAP.

It's cold here, so cats are fighting to be in my lap or on my laptop. (Long ago they recognized my computer and drives as a source of heat. They also used to perch on top of the TV until we got a flat screen. I felt a little bad about depriving them of their warm perch.)

And now that I'm coming down with whatever my DH had on Xmas and and running a fever, I'm extra popular!

Hmm...let's see....the love and warmth of a cat that wants to be with you....or a laptop that cares naught for thee.

I think the choice you've made is the correct one.
