Well, you've read the notes, the notes went down a rabbit hole, and now it is time for you to post until the rabbit hole cows come home.

And the word of the day is: PROCELEUSMATIC!

Smoke on your pipe and put that in.

[George]

I have come across quite a few treasures on the Internet Archive. I haven't specifically searched much, just been sent/found links to specific items of interest.

I ended up at an emergency clinic. They’re going to send me home with a muscle relaxant.

A long, five-syllable word for four short syllables. Got it.

Oh, no!

One movie that I found on Internet Archive was Song of the South.  This is what I posted on June 12, 2020:

Another movie that is vilified now is Disney's Song of the South.  I'm sure that it's complete revisionist history, but it wasn't supposed to be an accurate representation of the Reconstruction era.  It's a story about a boy and his experiences with a black storyteller who tells his stories.  I actually bought a UK PAL VHS tape about 20 years ago and was able to have it converted to a US NTSC VHS tape, and I made a DVD of that.  It looks pretty good for all the converting that was done.  But recently, someone was (someones were?) able to create a Blu-ray quality version that anyone can download here:

https://archive.org/details/SongOfTheSouthHD/

You can watch it online, but the downloadable MATROSKA file (under the DOWNLOAD OPTIONS) is 22 GB and looks incredible.  If you click on the SHOW ALL under the DOWNLOAD OPTIONS, there are more options.

[George]

And my post right after that one was:

If other movies like Gone With the Wind and The Birth of a Nation, especially, are also so horrible, why are they continuously being re-released and watched?  People are able to put those into historical perspective...why not Song of the South?

[John G.]

I’m home. Butt shot full of drugs. Hopefully they will. I’ll know in about five more minutes.

Oh, and the Tony Awards are sort of back on for June 11.
In what format I cannot say.
We shall see.

[DR Iris]

George, I think your show opens next Friday night.
Very exciting!
In case I’m not around much this week, break a leg!

[DR Iris]

This was my first Mother’s Day without my mother.
It was a tough day, as was the entire week.
I hope time really does heal everything.

[DR Iris]

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Relax them muscles!

I went to the Comedy Store and The Improv on numerous occasions.

One night, in probably 1977, the most unforgettable, brilliant, unknown comic did the most amazing set. It was the then unknown Robin Williams.

Genius.

This was before Mork & Mindy.

[DR Iris]

 On Thursday nights, every week some time around 1999-2002, Drew Carey  and the entire cast of “Whose Line Is It Anyway”, would work out their routines at The Improv.

We knew someone on their staff, so we always knew when they would be scheduled to perform.

Elyse and I rarely missed those Thursday nights. They were always brilliant, and so kind to us.

The audience laughed uproariously.

[DR Iris]

I can’t remember what day the topic of The Comedy Store came up.

I think it was recently.

[DR Iris]

Enjoy your weekend.
😊

Good morning, all!

DR Iris, I don't believe time heals everything. It certainly dulls things and forgets what it wants, but it never heals. A word, a sight, a melody, a scent, a task . . . can bring back a memory of a lost loved one, and before you know it, you're on the floor in a flood of tears. I was once in a used record and CD shop when a song was played, and I held onto a bin of CDs trying and failing to not fall apart. I couldn't get out of that store gracefully or quickly enough.

[elmore3003]

I slept very poorly last night, and the fault was my little boy Thatch. Who decided he wanted to sleep in my usual spot. Well, I couldn't move him because I love him, but I could never get comfortable. The neuropathy in my feet did nothing to help. Sometime after a bathroom break around 3:30 Thatch moved and I slipped into my old spot. When he returned, he took his old place next to me.

[elmore3003]

After that, I did have a dream I sort of remember. It was another one about working at Goodspeed.  The show was up and running, the rehearsal space and my room were being cleaned out, and I had removed my belongings, orchestra scores, and books. An old college friend I haven't seen in over fifty years showed up and visited with others but ignored me. Then I was riding back to NYC in a car driven by two ladies I did not know on a 13-hour ride! Only I had none of my belongings and no idea where they might be.

This, like many of the days to come, is a ballet day.  I must finish it bySeptember since Josh and Encores! have a big job for the two of us.
