Good morning, all! As soon as I finished my post last night, I changed some of my Facebook account information, and I hope that keeps the hackers away. I went to bed around 11, was awakened by the slamming door and thuds from the neighbor above me. This went on till around 2am. So, when the alarm went off at 7, i decided to sleep for another hour, and suddenly it was 10 am. I'm moving about but my mental and physical energy levels are quite low. I don't know if it's fatigue or depression, neother of which i want, so I won't go down to Toyland this morning but work here.
I wish this new music store Dowling Music well. Bruce bought a hardcover score for TURANDOT, and I was hoping to find something, but their stock is mostly still in cartons, and I found little interesting while I was there. It was a bit of a nightmare wandering through crowds of folk who seemed more to be there to be seen than to see. I'll go back in a couple of weeks and browse the store more thoroughly. When I got there and found all these young buff caterers/bartenders, I thought I'd fallen into Barnum heaven, a scary thought, and both Bruce Pomahac and I were wondering the whys and wherefores of the catering decision. There was a scandal a couple of years ago when one of the City Opera bigwigs put a young buff protege on the City Opera payroll and the protege later wrote a book on being a male escort for Important Opera Queens. Perhaps they were all young proteges-in-training?
I didn't know Michael Kuchwara; he was a friend of my friend Tommy Krasker of PS Classics, and I'm sorry to read of his death.
BK, I'm glad to hear the reading went well.
