So...
I ended up spending the evening in the company of another DR, DR singdaw to be exact. We both attended the presentation of Bernstein's "Mass" at Carnegie Hall tonight. Beforehand, we had a pretty good Cuban meal at a place on 56th Street. Then we headed over to Carnegie Hall...

You and David eating a Cuban meal. It must have been hot stuff!
"Dreamgirls" is going on a national tour, returning to the stage after the hit movie (still the best film of 2006, I think).
But first there’s going to be an open casting call for the main players on Nov. 1 at the Apollo Theater. Sign in is from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.
I’m just getting the Advil out thinking of all those girls singing "And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going." That should be quite a day in Apollo history!
And the word of the day is: ADULTESCENT!
So, after I walked DR singdaw back down to Grand Central, I decided to go ahead and just walk back across town to catch the A Train over at Eighth Avenue. -It's a truly nice evening here in NYC.
As I was walking past Town Hall, I noticed there was a crowd waiting at the stage door. It turned out that Don Rickles was playing there this week, and people were waiting for him to come out so that they could get autographs. Well, among those stage door Johnnies were a couple of friends from the Mary Poppins cast. They hadn't seen Mr. Rickles tonight, but they had some friends and relatives who had, so they just ran over to Town Hall after they were done to wait with them. Well, they didn't feel like waiting - apparently, Mr. Rickles was taking his time. However, they did feel like heading over to O'Lunney's for a beer or two. So...
...
That is a BIG basket, DR GINNY!
And the word of the day is: ADULTESCENT!Eliza the village SLUT ENACTED her ADULTESCENT proclivities by seducing the Randy Vicar's nephew.
Believe it or don't, the first performance of Bernstein's MASS after the premiere was in little ol' SLC, where I saw it with David Cryer. An unbelievable evening of music and theater.
Kerry, the album you're thinking of is by The Ray Conniff Singers, not Anita Kerr. It was one of Ray's biggest hit albums and led to several follow-ups.
...*And I even went ahead and walked back up to the Fifth Avenue Apple Store (since it's open 24 hours), and purchased a new "sleeve" for my new laptop.An Apple all day keeps the viruses away, or something like that.
Sorry, Laura DR...I looked online, but could not find any reviews of Wing's NYC performance.
Hmmm, favorite film scores.........
3 - 2
10 - 7
and my favorite

I had not received any Paramount review discs all week, a first since I took over the account last December. At 6:30 last night, the doorbell rang with the UPS man holding four packages, all from Paramount. Among them were the new DVD release of THE BOYS IN THE BAND (due in stores November 11) and THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO, Season 2, Volume 2. I never watched the TV show during its run, but I reviewed volume 1 a few months ago and really enjoyed it, so I requested volume 2.
November is going to be a very heavy TV month for me from Paramount. I'm also expecting the next season of JAG, the last season of THE ODD COUPLE, and the next season of HAWAII FIVE-O.

That's because the reviewers are all still stunned.

I am assuming that your friends in the MARY POPPINS cast do not play Jane and Michael Banks.
And I've been asked to come in to work today. I had a hunch I would be, since it's been raining and that always means someone on the staff melts.
Glad I got a good night's sleep, and I do feel better because of it.
It seems the Joseph kolinski who played the Celebrant in MASS in the day (Jose's reply #13) may have been, indeed actually is, the same Joe Kolinski who played Centauri on the Kritzerland CD of the musical THE LAST STARFIGHTER, as well as in the NYMF readings where BK played the "Dan O'Herlihy" part to Joe Kolinski's "Robert Preston."
Ray Conniff actually had a quite storied arranging career, starting in the Swing Era. While I always preferred his label-mate Percy Faith, some of Conniff's arrangments are quite wonderful. I doubt, for instance, that anyone would mistake his big hits "Somewhere My Love" or "Happiness Is" for foxtrots.

Yep... It's a lazy afternoon here at Chez Harlem. However, it looks like I'll be heading out in a few with my roommate, Jim, and his father (who's visiting this weekend) for a late brunch at Community Food & Juice (http://www.communityrestaurant.com/). -Blueberry Pancakes! YUM!!
TOTD:I loved the Summer of '42 album that also had Michel Legrand's score to "Picasso Summer" on it.

As With DR Laura - remember there are many discarded photos!

MATT H-Do you think that CHICAGO HOPE will be released soon?
DR Kerry - ***ANKLE AND PLUMBING VIBES!!!***
GREAT NEWS about DR JoseSPiano's Mom!!! :D
Happy to read that DP Ant is home safely.
Love the photos of Laura DR's new backyard and former DR François's front yard!
Also - beautiful fall foliage, DR Jane!
DR Vixmom - sorry to hear of your dental horrors. Feel better soon!
I had an emergency trip to my dentist yesterday afternoon, but it wasn't so horrible and had a successful outcome.
DR Cillaliz, great news about your laptop.
Feel better, DR SWW!
DR Ginny, enjoyed reading about all the Ohio things in your basket.
Always a fly in the ointment

Great Photos Tomovoz.
[ However, I suspect they will set it up like the "American Idol" auditions with various levels of screening -
and DearReaderLaura (aka Laura) whenever you show a snapshot of a dragonfly, it always makes me happy. I find them to be just fanscinating little creatures!

I'm, more or less, in for the evening - I can definitely feel the past week catching up with me - so the rain is OK. Now, if I could just get motivated to get some cleaning and laundry done. ;)

Do any of the breakfast joints serve Taylor Pork Roll or is that just a Joisey thing?

I'm not sure that Tina Fey will be back on "SNL" tonight, but tonight's host is John Hamm. I wonder what kind of "Mad Men" parody they will be doing.
...piano recital by Maurizio Pollini
…Pollini is sometimes accused of emotional conservatism
I'm having a reaction to my flu shot. I've never had that happen before. I have a big red welt where I got it and it's a very hot red welt. I took a Claritin and a nap this afternoon. It seems to be a little better

Another view!
Of course I think squirrels are cute. We don't have them in OZ!
How did the meeting go, DR LAURA!!
DR Jrand, that is some prom dress!

They decided to make more work for me.
They decided to have me make the bulletins instead of using the denominational ones. Lots more work.

I sure would like to see DR Laura's expression while reading that post DR Kerry. ;)

Another view!
DR Jennifer, our doctor will charge $30 at the office flu clinic. I priced a local pharmacy at $27.00 a shot.
As far as I know there is no waiting period following the vaccination at either location.
I don't think Keith has ever had a flu shot shot & after his last bout said he would get one this year. I'm still not sure it is a good idea for me to risk the vaccination. At least if Keith doesn't get the flu my chances are reduced.

Well, our birds fight back and eat the squirrel's corn and steal their peanuts.
Well, I think it's funny to see them carrying colored cookies up a tree, but reading it, it doesn't really sound that funny...

-Although, I decided to have their traditional breakfast today - two eggs (over easy), canadian bacon, carrot hash browns and a whole wheat biscuit. And I washed it all down with a totally yummilicious Hot Buttered Cider. Jim's father did have the Blueberry Pancakes, and he really liked them - and ended up treating us to brunch too! :)

Funny. I'm surprised the squirrel's don't devour the corn before the birds can get to it.
We settled the bulletin issue well over a year ago. I had no idea it would come up again.
DR Jose, carrots or a mix, I guess they were good enough to order again. ;) They sound good to me.

The carrots add a nice herbal note to the hash browns, as well as a touch of sweetness too.
Oh... Nevermind, sort of...
They're showing the past three 30 minute Thursday night show back-to-back.
Another for the day!

I don't care how many you discard, the ones you post are wonderful.

Yes, lovely photos all around.
I watched the 12th episode of MAD MEN on On Demand....my oh my.....everything is going to hell for just about everybody.....and Anna give's Dick a tarot reading using a nice Celtic card spread.
I am going to bite the bullet and watch as much of SNL as I can to see Mr John Hamm....I am not sure that I can stay the course with the show.

Thanks. As Tom says, we delete hundreds!
I think I posted some missed shots a while back. I thought it was funny.
I have never seen a politician. It is interesting that you see so many of them.
So far, so not so good.

*But it's good too see all the cross-promotion for "Mad Men".

I wonder why it took so long - three days seems a little long to me.
