As I was clearing out a million audio cassettes, I stumbled upon a recording of the Luray Cavern pipe organ, and thought of Music Guy and wondered if he has ever heard it/played it and how it stacks up to above-the-ground pipe organs!

Well, there's never anything wrong with just looking.

I just picked up the mail and what to my wandering eye should appear but our SACCO AND VANZETTI DVD's so dear! 3 of them, sent by my partner Peter before he left for Norway. (I'm so jealous!)


Why didn't you tell us you wanted to represent the USA in this year's Miss Edvard Grieg pageant?

The only warring community around here at the moment is the homeless: this morning one of them on the steps of Holy Trinity kept screaming about leg pains.  I was ready to walk over with a meat cleaver when he shut up.  Perhaps he was carted off?

Nope, probably just waiting for the public library to open.

I thought she was going to Oslo for the Peace Prize.




I wanted to win that until I found out how they spelled it.

Isn't there a National Geographic special edition on the Fire Island rituals.

(Sacrifice of,or maybe hunt the, virgins). It's a while since I read that.

Usually, the police come and cart them off since the NYPLs don't open till noon.  At least the crazy one who went ballistic whenever he went off his meds hasn't been around for several years.  He was scary.

Hah! I was just now writing an email to Peter and telling him about SONG OF NORWAY. I've wanted to go to Norway ever since I saw that film. Even with the cheesy 70's cinematography, the scenery is still breathtaking! And Grieg is one of my favorite composers, too.

They look beautiful! We have been working on the cover art over the internet, and while it looked good, there's nothing like seeing it in person for the first time!

Congratulations!

Thanks, Adriana! I guess this is the closest I ever get to birthin' something, so it's very exciting after that 4 year gestation period!

But still nothing like the adorableness of Cillaliz's Sophie and Gabe. So cute!!!!

Tuesday!

$18.26 on Deep Discount DVD
$26.99 on Amazon (don't buy it there but you should read Vixmom's wonderful review!)
I'm not sure how much it is on our distributor's website:
http://firstrunfeatures.com/saccovanzettidvd.html

Of course, you have already "paid your dues" and it was great having you at our LA premiere!

And of course, feel free to write a quickie review if you feel so inclined!

Seriously, if any of you have not heard MusicGuy (Lyn) play the organ, you are missing a treat.  I have no idea how many different CDs he has recorded, but I have STAIRWAY TO PARADISE and it is wonderful.

Sherlock of course, the boy can do anything.  At the moment he is even helping me type.

Sherlock and Dixie Bell would get along just fine.  Dixie ALWAYS is present with me at the computer, she, too, is helping me type right now.

After leaving work on Saturday I had a productive rest of the weekend. I watched the final episode of The Sopranos so that is finally off the to do list. I then made tuna cassarole for dinner while listening to Beverley Humphreys Showtime on Radio Wales. We had a nice meal and then watched the 1938 film version of Pygmalion with Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller. Quite wonderful. We slep very late (for us) on Sunday morning. We didn't get up until after 10am. We then had scrambled eggs, toasted mini-bagels with cherry preserves and coffee and tea while listening to Broadway Musicals of 1939. Then we went to a local street fair (on 6th Avenue between 14th and 23rd) where I bought a new key case. We came home and I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! So I am caught up in those areas. I then made turkey meatloaf with butter herb mashed potatoes and fresh green beans for dinner and we listened to the rest of Broadway Musicals of 1939. I then rode the exercise bike for 90 minutes while Ant worked on a project on the computer. He is now watching Miss Marple on Mystery (on PBS) and I'm relaxing before I begin to read Maurice (E.M. Forster). I've never read it, I only saw the film. I'm looking forward to it.

And that, dear friends, sums up our weekend.

Later!

P.S. Ditto what TCB said about Lyn's musical abilities. They are wonderful!

Hey, Larry!  Are the women with fried eggs on their heads out on the streets yet?
