Haines His Way

Actually, Dakota - you don't mind if I call you Dakota - it's not that difficult of a trivia question for me for TWO reason:
1.  I'm the biggest Springsteen queen on this here site, so, I know me some Big Man music.
2.  My trivial mind holds information as to who was dating whom and when. . .

Ergo, since Mr. Browne was romantically linked to the star of Mr. Howard's SPLASH, the actress in question would be one of the stars of that justifiably maligned film STEEL MAGNOLIAS, Miss Daryl Hannah - who also is featured in Ridley Scott's BLADE RUNNER. . .

Oh, and the song?
It's from Mr. Clemons' HERO album, and titled "You're a Friend of Mine."

Dakota is fine TD!

I also like Springsteen and I have a couple of his albums.

Who is the actress who appeared in a Bruce Springsteen video?

Thanks, Dakota.

And Miss Courtney Cox was pulled from an audience (with two other plants) to dance with The Boss in "Dancing in the Dark."

In any case...  I'm glad Isherwood liked Xanadu, and he does point out that the show constantly makes fun of itself throughout its 90-minute running time.  Is the show for everyone?  No.  But if your in the mood for something fun and brainless (in the good sense), it's not a bad way to spend an evening.  *And remember, if you come to the box office in roller-skates or roller-blades, you get a nice discount on your tickets.  

Good Evening!

Did I say I was being "Tentative"?  Must be the heat.  

You said, FEELING Tentative. . .
Some H & Ks were very jealous of Tentative.  

Feeling sleepy... I think I am going to hit the sack gents!  Pleasant dreams and take care....

Just finished a lovely 40 minute yoga practice and I'm feeling fine.

DR Jose: What time shall we meet prior to the Patti/GYPSY experience?? Did we say were doing lunch? Becco, even...?

Well, I guess we could Becco.  Unless you just want to keep it simple and do Burger Joint since it's close by - and will most likely be crowded.  But there's plenty of lunching choices in that neighborhood.  Why don't we meet in front of the Palace at Noon, and go from there.  *And don't forget your umbrella.  

And no amount of rain can dampen my spirits when it comes to seeing Patti LuPone in GYPSY. Not one bit!

DR MusicGuy - Baayork sends her love.    -And she also passed on the info about Hopeful Heart to Bob Avian too.

Should I book our tour to Garden of the Gods now...??  

Well...  Even the conductor for the tour is not yet official even though he's been told he'll have the job.  However, when I spoke to him, he did say there weren't any other tour personnel lined up, so that's a good thing.  And he also told me that it would be a good thing to let the MD know that I was interested in the tour.  And since I know all three keyboard books, well... I'm pretty sure that will work in my favor.    In any case, no real plans, contracts, etc., will be made until the late Fall at the earliest.

Tonight I watched a movie my mother brought home. It was the 1972 british Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The actors were all splendid, and the score by John Barry was very pretty, although I felt some of the songs were rather annoying.

I loved the fact that ninty percent of the dialouge was straight out of the book. I have a copy of all Lewis Carrol's work in it's original handwriting.

AH!  I remember that movie!  We watched in grade school.  Also, now I'm remembering some theatrical version of "Alice" that was at the Smithsonian for a while.  It was very cool - it was done with puppets and animatronics, and maybe even some live actors - I can't remember correctly now.  But I do remember the whole set transforming when she would "Eat This"... and the Cheshire Cat disappearing and reappearing.

I certainly have a particular bias but going to see Patti in Gypsy sounds like a total nightmare to me.  I've just listened to Dolores Gray's "Rose's Turn".

I saw a great version that was done with effects and lighting and colored shadow puppets behind a giant cloth once. I loved it!

TOD:
We are currently members of, but will leave some of when we move:

Cobb Landmarks (we thought it was a preservation group but soon realized that it's more of a social group with a preservation 'theme".) We work with the Christmas tour of homes and the annual garden tour, and have done documentaries for them.

Cobb Preservation Foundation-a group we helped start to actually save historic buildings. We rarely meet but have still accomplished a lot, and have saved/restored/sold a half dozen structures.

IMPACT (Involved Mariettans Planning Actively for the City of Tomorrow) an activitst group formed 6 years ago to protect our square when our city councilman tried to build a 12 story building in a town square of two story buildings. DH has served as an officer, including president. We were getting a lot done but the current president has decided to "work with city goverment" and bought in to all of the city's plans, with no defense of our quality of life. So this group is fizzling.

The LOOP GROUP-Another group we helped start, originally as a neighborhood watch group since we had so much crime. Then it became more of a group that served the community, especially the Hispanic neighbors. After the "ethnic cleansing" by the city, this group is now just a vanity group for the councilperson who heads it up and controls who serves as officers instead of letting the group elect them. This group is also fizzling.
 
Peachtree Hills Neighborhood Associaiton: Our new neighborhood group---a very active and established group. We're been volunterring with them for 2 years, even though we haven't moved there yet!

Marietta Tree Keepers--we raise money to plant trees, and then plant them in public right of ways, to make up for all the developers who DON"T.

Friends of Nesbitt Union Chapel: the was formed to protect ruins of an old chapel. DH is president. This is one of the groups we may shed when we move.

Cobb Land Trust-preserves greenspace and aquires land for public use. DH is on the board.

River Keepers--monitor water quality in our streams. We may resume this after we move, since Peachtree Creek will be in our backyard and it will be easy to do. DH won the data collection award for the whole start of Georgia last year.

Beltline Study Group-studies the impact of a light rail that will encircle Atlanta and go, literally, behind our backyard.

Little Criminals: Randy Newman internet fan group which often turns into a political flame group. It finally got to be too much for me but I am still friends with many of the members.

HHW: "Nuff said.

I really don't belong to too many organizations.  I've sat on the boards of the WGA and am currently on the board of Actors Guild of Lexington.  I joined AARP the minute I turned fifty.

You can join when you're 50???
