Good morning, all! No dreams to be recounted, none at all. There's something vague at the back of my mind about the wonderful string line Jonathan wrote in "Another Hundred People" (beginning at "And they meet at parties through the friends of friends") but Ihave no context for it now.
I'm off to Toyland very shortly to deal with a few things. After that, i will head back here, hoping that a UPS package has been delivered. At 2pm, I meet DR Ginny and Richard at Artie's to hear about their trip thus far. I hope at some point to enter the Act Three fixes to the EILEEN libretto and proceed to the next step of putting the booklet together and laying out material in various subheadings like "synopsis," "history," "reconstructing the score," etc. The needy person with all of the plagiarism charges has been quiet for two weeks now, so I don't know if he's given up or is preparing another round. Time will tell.
Today the Encores! group records GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES, and I am looking forward to the CD.
I go through historic obsessions so I'm not tied down to a specific period. I'm currently tied up in the American Revolution of the 18th Century because of DEAREST ENEMY, but it has ties to the French Revolution - I'm still readingTHE TERROR - as well as the disastrous Irish rebellion of 1798, which is the background for Victor Herbert's EILEEN. I also have an interest in World War I, the American Civil War, the Irish rebellion of Easter Week, and the Family of Henry VIII.
