Good morning, all!  I was awake at 4AM, and that's far too early to be awake in my book. If I had any dreams last night, I remember none of them.

I don't know what all is on today's scheduled events. The first 30 minutes of this morning will be a company management meeting to discuss travel and stay in Hilton Head. After that, a runthrough. Once we lose David at 1PM, I assume we'll be working on trouble spots and musical problems. We have a great cast, but several of the actors do not pck up things as quickly as others, and  that can be frustrating. We've also got to deal with, and incorporate, two child actors who will be local to Hilton Head so those are always moments in rehearsal where everything falls apart at the present time. My faith in the piece and the cast is very strong, but I'm getting antsy and wshing there were one more week before we headed south.

So, that's my day. When I get home tonight, I need to prepare my packing list for Hilton Head and tomorrow morning's laundry and housecleaning schedule. I have to visit with Kim Criswell tomorrow before she flies back to London, and I want this place really clean before I leave.  don't want to come back and find the bed bugs have taken over.

Speaking of 4AM...

That's around the time that I woke up... Still sitting in the recliner in the living room with the TV and all the lights on.

Thankfully, unlike every previous day so far this week, at 7:45AM - aka "now" - I'm not having to get ready to head out the door to sit in traffic for almost two hours in order to try to get to the theater by 10:00am.

...I'll also be checking in with my father in a little bit to see how my mom is doing. Since he didn't call last night, that should be a sign that everything really is all right. -He only calls when -or asks me to call - when things are not all right. And he felt things were not all right yesterday morning.

One fun fact from last night's performance: After the show, our conductor was pulled aside by an audience member for a little chat. It turned out that said audience member was the son of the actor who played the Sargeant in the original Broadway production back in 1938. He had not seen another production of BOYS since then - when he was 11-years old! - until last night.

How many movies did Sean Connery and Richard Harris do together?

But separately

Sean Connery:
Robin and Marian
First Great Train Robbery
Entrapment
Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade

although I haven't seen it in a long time and thought it very weird film: A Fine Madness.
I wonder if I would like it today.

Richard Harris
The Snow Goose (TV) But haven't seen it in a very long time but also have fond memories of it
The Wild Geese
Wrestling Ernest Hemmingway (and the Goose)

DR elmore - I hope you have a productive and peaceful day of preparations for your journey down to Hilton Head.

And two friendly reminders:

1) Set your clocks back an hour tonight.
2) Tomorrow is the ING New York City Marathon, so if you and your "Holler"-mates plans to be getting around the city tomorrow, be sure to plan accordingly. -At the very least, avoid the West Side - especially Amsterdam Avenue and Central Park West below 86th Street - for most of the day. And take the 1 instead of the A/C.

I've always thought that this was a terrific sci-fi movie; perhaps the best sci-fi that Hammer ever made.

Certainly Keir was better in the role than Brian Donlevy.

Some of the reports on Andy Rooney are unfortunately bringing out the 1990 charges that Mr. Rooney made  homophobic comments.  The Times in 1990 had an in-depth story about the controversy, which gives it context.

Last night, we had a great performance of "The Hound of the Baskervilles."  And after the show, we had a cast party at the space.  Some food was brought and a good time was had by all.  I left early (today was the first day in quite a while that I got to sleep in) and watched TV for a little while. 

At the show, we're raffling a box of DVDs and one of them is the 1988 version of "Hound" with Jeremy Brett as Holmes.  I wondered if any version was going to be on TV and it turns out that two, count 'em TWO different versions are on TV today!  This morning, the 1959 version with Peter Cushing as Holmes and Christopher Lee as Henry Baskerville was on TCM.  Tonight on one of the Encore channels, a 2002 version that didn't get good reviews on Amazon.com.  Anyway, I set my DVR to record both. :)

Craig thought it might be a chain.  He wasn't joking about a disclaimer on the door.  He was fine with it but said you need to have the right temperament not to be hurt by some of the jokes.  The hat they put on your head at the end has something insulting written on it.  His wasn't as insulting as others but on the other hand he said it wasn't as funny.

You have to load the programs, but if you're on a wired network or buy a transfer cable, there is a program on Windows 7 that transfers all your data, settings etc.  Last night I put the data from 2 of my computers in this one and am thinking about adding an old laptop too.   So, all my photos, documents etc are in this computer now and I can work with them.  THis is good, because I'm thinking about making some photo albums for Christmas presents

DR JMK - Depending on your operating system, there are various programs available that will allow you to transfer your programs and files from one computer to another via a cable (FireWire is fastest) or via WiFi.

*If you bought a Mac, the Mac Genii at the Apple Store's Genius Bars will actually do the transfer for you. For free.

I have decided I don't want to make the fruit cake brownies for my book group on Tuesday.  I'm deciding if I'll make regular ones.  I'm in the mood for my oatmeal cookies.  Any suggestions for something to go with them?

I will be assisting DS Craig while he makes his wonderful Zacusca.  I picked up some Cotswold cheese along with apples & grapes.  I know I don't really need to bake something else but it is nice to have a variety of treats.

i'm back! It was an amazing day: people started getting into character, things that hadn't jelled began to, and everything is righting itself. We had a runthrough and a half in the morning session; the show lasts around 75 minutes, and that's about the length we wanted.

We have a pretty, very young actress with a wonderful voice playing the young, pregnant wife, and she has the smallest part of the eleven actors. For most of the first part she sings offstage with the music in hand. She doesn't play an instrument, she has three numbers: two duets, and one solo, and she still doesn't know them! We've got cast members who play guitars, accordion, bass, fiddle, harmonica,  and also have to deal with singing and some dialogue for nearly twenty numbers and they've got most of it memorized. The MD went ballistic on the young lady today. It was harsh but she deserved it. If she wants to play in the big league, step up to the plate.

Those who have are these fantastic folk:
Deb Lyons: great great lady with a phenominal voice
David Lutken: if it's a folksong, he knows it, and besides being a charming laid back Will Rogers type, he plays guitar, banjo, mandolin, and dulcimer
Michael Hicks: harmonica, accordion, bass, and great rock'n'roll piano and he acts as our onstage conductor for some of the ensemble moments
Julie Foldesi: not just a fantastic singer and actress, she plays guitar and mandolin, and she's beautiful
Jared Sampson: he's our offstage voice and orchestra during those moments the cast onstage can't get to an instrument, and he's charming as the Prodigal Son/Joseph character
Scott Moss: we are so lucky he heard there was a spot open and pushed DJ for the job; he sings really well, knows the territory, being from Tennessee and North Carlina, and he plays guitar and bass
Steve McIntyre: fantastic bass player who is really funny as the local moonshiner
Rob McCaffrey: great voice and charm; not everyone needs to play. Rob just needs to break hearts with "I Wonder As I Wander." I think he will.

Around 10 years ago or so, I saw a lovely actress in THE RED MILL at Ohio Light Opera, and I told her to send me a photo and resume because some day we would work together. Megan Loomis is playing fiddle for us and playing the old maid daughter. She's as wonderful now as she was then. She and Steve McIntyre were in the SWEENEY TODD tour with Judy Kaye.

I have an evening to myself! I can watch tv, catch up on LARKSPUR TO CANDLEFORD, and get an extra hour's sleep before seven AM and the laundry tomorrow morning.

Color me happy today.

I'm back from the Washington Shakespeare Theatre--as I noted to DR Jose, I've seen shows at two Shakespeare theatres in the last two weeks (Washington and Chicago) and have yet to see Shakespeare.

Anyway, I thought The Boys from Syracuse was great!  And I'm crazy about Leslie Kritzer!  As Jose mentioned, we saw her at the restaurant (Teaism). I told her how great she was in the show. 

Thanks again to DR Jose for the ticket!

Interviewed one of my favorite 1950s/1960s actors today, Paul Lukather, who, besides guest starring on every western ever made (it seems like), he starred in two very fun thrillers...DINOSAURUS (1960) and HANDS OF A STRANGER (1962).

Super nice guy, and of course he was one of Henry Willson's clients, also.

DR MBarum we continue to watch CHEYENNE & are a bit baffled with something.  I'm hoping you can solve the puzzle.  In early episodes we used to joke & guess at which point Cheyenne would take his shirt off.  About the same time the shirt stopped coming off a very obvious stunt double became a regular.  While the fat stunt double is no longer there are still scenes where a double is used.  Walker still looks & moves beautifully so we can't understand why a double is needed for him to jump out of a wagon.

Half the fun of watching CHEYENNE is trying to figure out which old movie the stock action footage come from.

In one episode that I recall, Walker changed clothes 20 minutes in so that in the next scene he could double Joel McCrea from COLORADO TERRITORY.  It was so obvious that that was McCrea chasing the train.

The 3rd episode of the 1st season is TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (Walker in the Huston part) and a later episode is TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT...set against the Mexican revolution.  Walker does the Bogart role.

Much of the dialogue from the movies is used in these episodes.

The really hilarious thing is he accuses me of "name dropping" (which I didn't do), and then lists off a number of musicians he's met, several of whom are/were personal friends and one of whom was a teacher of mine.  :)  I think I'll just let the ASS have the last word as he has in actuality been talking to himself all along.

Kevin, the night before I started a job years ago, I had an incident with my cat Petey and he ended up scratching my face so bad I needed stitches ( he was trying to get away, it wasn't an attack).  Since I needed a bandage, I decided to go with some superhero, don't remember which one at the moment.  So instead of people acting all weird, they laughed.  I liked that better
