Well, you've read the notes, the notes came and went, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently coming and going, not necessarily in that order.

And the word of the day is: BREVIARY!

This morning, we will check out of the hotel and move into our new home, boxes, animals and all.

No TV for about a week, but if I can find the box with cables for the DVD player, we will survive.

Ginny, I'm glad the CD arrived safely. It's a wonderful revue. I wish I could have seen it in England.

I am very busy at work this week so I won't be around much.

I am part of a presentation to our Board on Friday. I have a 2 hour rehearsal this afternoon and I'm finishing up my notes right now. After the presentation we do get to be part of the "informal" lunch provided to the board. In this time of cutbacks I'm surprised they are having the lunch at all but it is the board of directors after all.

Will it be more than sandwiches and side salads? We shall see on Friday.

Good morning, all! And here's the Big news: The Rodgers & Hammerstein has been sold!
http://www.rnh.com/news_detail.asp?newsid=N_000401&div=home&pagesource=index.asp&s=1

As for me, I feel like old news: I got myself unknowingly thrown into the middle of a Castrecl catfight, I'm going to the NYPL again today, I think I'm once again overdrawn at the bank. The more things change . . .

DR JMK, the "Downtown" number is on the Region-2 disc. I cannot think what music rights are violated to force its removal, but it's a very funny moment, and there's a reference to it later in another episode from Caroline Bingley, as I recall.

TOD:
Sometimes A Day Goes By
A Quiet Thing
The entire scores to CABARET, THE HAPPY TIME, CHICAGO and 70 GIRLS 70
Life Is, The Butterfly and Happy Birthday from ZORBA
Wet
The final number from "The Skin Of Our Teeth" or whatever it's called now

Comcast will be here momentarily to decipher what the problem is with the HD CABLE.

I didn't mind Ruth Lyons and her bunch, but I hated Bob Braun who took over for her...UGH.

And for those who didn't know....the 50-50 Club was named for the number of seats in the studio when Ruth started the show on radio...when they moved to TV and had a bigger studio they doubled the size of the audience making it 50-50.

And a very happy haineshisway.com birthday to husband of dear reader Jane, Keith.

I had to call paypal - I got double-charged for something so they removed one of the charges.

Bob Braun, truly smarmy!

BK, the contretemps on castrecl began with a discussion of the pros and cons of Gerald Bordman's dreadful books on American theatre, so you already know whose side I'm not on, and one poster who can be windy came to Bordman's defense. Another poster decided I was being vilified and came to my defense with a rather ugly post, then decided it was another poster who was the object of scorn. It was all a tempest in a teapot, but I am amazed that so many think Gerald Bordman's lousy secondhand research and inaccuracies are worthwhile. I found his "reference books" when I was working at Drama Book Shop worthless for research since he's very incomplete in his writing.

We're in the house...and, as you can see, my Internet is working.

Everything else is secondary.

Some guy with a hippie beard is here in a Comcast truck "looking at things."

I have had more packages gone astray on the Illya Darling release than any other, and I'm really annoyed about it - so far about ten, which, in my estimation, is an outrage.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #28 on:** April 21, 2009, 06:53:59 AM »

I can't say I a huge fan of Kander/Ebb. Don't much care for Cabaret, indifferent to Chicago. While I admired the movie of SpiderWoman, I didn't like ot and so never saw or heard the musical.

I quite like several Goulet songs from THE HAPPY TIME:

I DON'T REMEMBER YOU
(WALKING)AMONG MY YESTERDAYS
SEEING THINGS
