Hello Ben & Larry.
I've been speding my evening mostly reading a new book about the making of 1776, David McCullough's 1776.
In my ongoing quest to lead Michael Barnum to culchah, today's opera lesson is the tenor and baritone. We'll start with Rodney Gilfry, a baritone.
MEDIA CHECK:
DVD: I am really loving the Gary Cooper Collection Watching DESIGN FOR LIVING.
VCR: ILLUSIONS, the film version of I'LL BE BACK BEFORE MIDNIGHT - oy vey..such tsuris. Oy...Heather Locklear, Robert Carradine, Emma Samms, and Ned Beatty...OY!!!
CD: Finalizing the music for the play.... I must say that Vic Mizzy could nail a show in one minute! I love the GREEN ACRES theme. Everything resolves AND I still can't figure out all the instrumentation in that tune! There is some kind of genius involved...I am not sure what it is...but it is!
Heathlful vibes to BK!
Recovery vibes to OzDerek!
Getting off the ground vibes to Michael Shayne!
Good walking vibes to DR George!
Good travel vibes to DRs Ginny and Rodzinski!
Saving pennies vibes to DR JRand54!

DR ELMORE - we don't need no one to teach kulture at us. When it comes to kulture, me and MBARNUM are the first hogs to the trough.
Ain't it the Truth!
Which reminds me, I guess I need to finish watching my DVD double feature of THE DEFILERS and SCUM OF THE EARTH...part of my "1960s films made in Florida" collection!
Question for BK:
What exactly do you mean by the "bottom" when it comes to recorded music?
One quick word about the local announcement of next season's Broadway Lights (national touring companies) series in Charlotte: it is a BUM season by any definition of the word.
The two big draws (both huge Broadway flops): LITTLE WOMEN and BOMBAY DREAMS.
Another question for BK re: TabAtha.
Are you sure that was Arnold Soboloff as the taxi driver?
I don't think it looks or sounds like him. I always pictured the man wearing glasses (like the shot of Tabatha getting in the taxi where he is also wearing a cap) and being a lot thinner in the face. Whenever I saw him acting or in photos he was always wearing those glasses.
Here is a photo of him

Good Afternoon!
Back from the post office. Back from the bank. Back from the other bank - long story! (Ugh!) Back from my storage unit. -And I only had to open about six boxes to find what I was looking for!
Were the batteries still good?
I am happy to announce that kritzerland.com is now up and running. Go check it out, tell us what you think, nose around the site, and above all, ORDER CDs.
You'll find audio clips from both albums, a video from the After the Ball recording session, photos from After the Ball, photos from the Guy Haines session, in our Interview section you'll find Ten Questions with Tony Walton, and there's more.
I'm hoping SOMEONE will order something - just so we can make sure paypal is working okay.
I, too, "Ditto" :) ;)
One thing I noticed about the new car is that the gas tank is larger on this automobile. It cost about $10 more to fill this one up (paid for by the car company, of course) than it did to fill up my old Dodge Neon.
DR TomovOz , Going back to my question about how cold it is where you are. I would have thought that you would have been much colder because your near Antarctica. Your on the South side of Oz, right? I was thinking it was kinda like being in the north part of Canada. Shoots my theory down.It rarely gets very cold here Danise.40 degrees F in the winter - rarely below freezing and we only get a few frosty mornings. Melbourne has a mild climate. (Not as warm as Melbourne Florida I guess). Even where I am in the hills. We have lemon and grapefruit trees growing quite successfully. Kiwi fruit farms are also in this area (On North facing slopes).
Not that I wish you to be more cold then you are. I just thought you would be.
Well, I'm off for the Relay For Life 24-hour walking marathon!! I'm not going to be walking for 24 hours, but I will (probably) be awake for most of it. I don't think I'll be back until tomorrow night before I crash or Sunday, at the latest.
As for the Topic of the Day:
In my DVD players, CD players, VCRs: nothing. I'm going to be walking! But in my MP3 player watch, I have many random songs including (but not limited to) "Blue Moon" by Kim Criswell, "Hit Me With a Hot Note" by Tami Tappan Damiano, "It's All Right With Me" by Melissa Errico, "Zing a Little Zong" by Bing Crosby and someone I don't know, and "I Love Fish" by our very own Guy Haines (one of BK's hidden tracks)!
Laters! (a Jose reference) ;D

- In many ways an ideal climate as we experience the four seasons.
Well, I missed Tom Cruise debating Matt Lauer this morning. Is that man getting totally wacko or what? It only encourages my intention to not see WHORE OF THE WORLDS. I had a scientologist roommate in college, and I thought he was demented; in 1965 I didn't know what the hell he was talking about. Now that I do, I'm boggled by all these morons getting sucked into it.
VCR: I'm still awaiting DRJed's video
Keep waiting
Dear BK,I think you have not enough energy to fight against germs because of being in diet and being tired. Diet person is apt to catch a cold and to have troubles with one’s vulnerable spots/parts. Be a good boy and rest yourself this whole weekend, and you’ll be better. You must rest up, I think.
EmergenC is a nice name. I like it!
Hmm, Jose, didn't you say something earlier today about curbing your "appetite". But, I guess since so much walking will be done, ALL those calories will be burnt off, right? Of course, right! (a Fiddler reference).
Yes, Jane, you're right. We will be on Jane Street and flying on a chocolate high!

Michael Shayne I hope you are not posting from home and were able to catch a flight out today.

Went to Kritzerland to see the final site setup.
no www.brucekimmel.com on the favorite links page??? :'( :-\ ???
I have matches from Tavern on Jane-didn't have a drink, just checked out the place and picked up a book of matches.
I'm listening to some music provided by DR Rodzinski - rare 1960's Soul/Pop. Very interesting indeed.
I love the 2 minute story lines of 60's songs.
