Back from a very entertaining lunch with Mr. Graae and I do think we'll be making a new album together next March or April.

I like this.

Um, DR Laura... This is HHW, not Facebook.

As for John's on Saturday...

-Just remember that they won't seat the party until everyone is there.

-And since it's a Saturday, it will probably be a bit busy.  Start breathing now. ;)

DR GINNY and DH RICHARD have a great time in NYC and take lots of pictures!  And remember if DH RICHARD appears onstage on Broadway again during this visit, he will qualify for his Equity card.

Actually, DR JRand, in FINIAN'S RAINBOW, Mr Shears or Mr Robust - I always forget which -  looks a lot like DH Richard.

That would be "Mr. Shears" as portrayed by Tim Hartman.  -Mr. Robust is played by Kevin Ligon.

And he has a website: www.TimHartman.com

*Alas, there are no pictures of him in his Mr. Shears garb.

DR JOSE did you see Mr D'Orio in action?  I have a DVD of the CHORUS LINE revival, but I haven't watched it yet.  I think I will like it better after I see the documentary.

The only time I've seen Tyce Diorio "in action" was when he came to see the revival of A Chorus Line with Carrie Ann Inaba (from "Dancing with the Stars").  They both stayed after a bit to chat with their friends in the cast.

*And I think you should watch the documentary after you watch the rest of the DVD.  Just sayin'...

In other news...

I had a great time playing for the voice lessons today. I was booked for three of them, but since the last student did not show up, I got out a bit early. -And I still got paid for all three. As luck would have it, the voice teacher I played for is associated with Mannes, and, apparently, they're looking for two staff accompanists right now... And after I was done today, the teacher asked if I would like to be considered for one of the slots... We shall see... :)

Congrats on the offer, Jose!

Just go to the Brooklyn Diner on 43rd and Broadway - great food, they'll seat you as you arrive, and no breathing necessary.

Well, any place around Times Square between shows will (always) be busy.

*As for the "breathing", well... I don't and won't need to breathe... And probably not DRs Ginny, Julie, vixmom nor the vixter... nor DR Ginny's DH Richard.. But... Well... ;)

Oh, and the Brooklyn Diner will only seat incomplete parties before 5:00pm and after 7:30pm.  -Depending on the manager's whim.  -Trust me on that one.

And wasn't I the one who enabled introduced you to the Brooklyn Diner in the first place?

*For a real splurge, go to their location up on 57th Street near Carnegie Hall.  It's a little more upscale, but some of the additional menu items are worth the splurge.

Hmmmm....

I wonder if DR JMK and his family, or maybe even DRs Jane and MBarnum would like to participate in this:

Thank You, DR George.  I'm not really sure it was an "offer", but it's nice to know that the possibility is there.  And since another source of my "musical theatre" income just dried up, well...  As always, we shall see...

OH!

And after talking with my parents earlier this afternoon, it looks like I've been "excused" from attending an anniversary party for some family friends this Saturday in DC.  Actually, my father was the one who said that it would be too much trouble, time and money for me to come down for a three-hour cocktail party Saturday night... Especially since it seems like my mother may have volunteered me to play at the reception/party... Well... I'll place another phone call or two tomorrow and take it from there.

But I may be able to make it to John's Pizza after all.

OK...

Not only are DR Ginny and her DH Richard in town this weekend, but my friend, Paul, from Florida got into town today too.  And the Saturday, some friends/former college classmates are due in from Los Angeles... And there's also a Dumpling Festival on the Lower East Side... And then... Well.. Gotta rest up.

Goodnight.

If you;re suggesting that i might run late, why, Mr. Simbulan, whatever put such an idea into your head?  But seriously, i'm coming from home so won't be late for 5 p.m. on Saturday.

Actually, David Wechter's mom introduced me to the 57th Street Brooklyn Diner.  But I think you told me about the 43rd Street version.
