Good morning, all! BK, I really enjoyed talking with you last night, and I did not actually think you were bitching because it wasn't your album, although I did tell you that. I needed to goad you to keep your rant going. You and I, as too many of our acquaintances can most likely attest, are ranters: we rage and carry on and then it's over, and we go on with other things. We both do it very well and in different styles and I think it's one of the things we have in common, along with book collecting, music, old films, etc. Harvey Schmidt once told me that if you and he had grown up together, you would have been his best friend, and I feel the same. There's a great deal of time spent with you on a recording that I do miss very much, and it's always a hoot to get a phone call to dish, rant, talk about projects, whatever, especially when you make a comment like "uh-oh, the police!" and the phone goes dead.
Goodspeed runs previews for fne-tuning for around a month, and during the first week, at least, the orchestra is on an early call every evening to read down any changes or new numbers. We clearly could have used an orchestra call at 7:00 last night, but I suspect that Rob will be speaking to the string section about last night's cue and it will sound fantastic.
This morning, Toyland and later the pharmacy for meds. I have a friend coming by later in the afternoon to pick up a CD, and then I'm off to see FR.
