Good morning all!
I intended to say that I liked BK's poster last night.
My Thunder shirt comment was a joke, DR Jane. I didn't notice that they made the dogs feel any better-I just noticed that the thunder went away. :)
So glad it's Friday and this week is over.
Vibes to all who need them.
Have a wonder filled day!

Guess i read that too fast. Making the thunder go away is impressiive.
Today is my nephew's wedding day....in the amphitheatre at Brown County State Park.....so we are hoping for good weather.
And the word of the day is: VICINAGE!

Got a pain in my lower ribs. I think I probably pulled a muscle when I got out of bed having slept too long, breathed in deeply and stretched excessively.I wish I knew what it felt like to sleep too long. But I don't envy you the pain and hope you're better soon.
DR JOSE there was a discussion amongst the ladies of the ensemble last night.....
What are the top five songs sung by Ladies Who Audition....this year?
DR Doug, wishes your pulled muscle is better very soon!

I have to revisit my recordings of Academy Awards Songs. It seems some of the songs that I thought had the original artists turned out not to be and when I went to watch them films from where they came from the songs had been dropped in favor of an instrumental version.
Mondo Cane and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. (It was wonderful to see the magnificent performance of Maggie Smith again. I believe it is one of the finest if not the finest performance ever committed to film)
I wonder why they would drop songs that have been nominated? I don't think it could be rights because the instrumental versions are being used.
Thanks DR FJL.
I am now off to the ceremony.
AND yes I am excused from MILLIE this evening. The director wanted to use me even though I would miss one performance. My partner in crime will take my two lines.

Many years ago, when I was young and good looking, I auditioned and was cast in a show. Only after I was cast, did I realize that I had already bought and paid for five days in Las Vegas that included the opening weekend of the show.. The director refused to let me out of the show, but instead found a kid who was willing to understudy my role, and play it for the opening weekend. Weird!
SPOILER ALERT, I guess
Re Filichia on Friday: I saw the second preview of "Into the Woods" and at that time, Tom Aldredge's narrator was the Baker's son, and it provided a touching ending. Then when I saw the show again the weekend after the opening, the whole second act had been changed for a much broader comedy in which the narrator was turned over to the Giant's Widow, etc.
So, this is yet another version of "Into the Woods" that goes back to some of what had originally been in the script. That leads me to the question: Are there any other musicals out there with multiple sanctioned scripts that can be performed? And I don't mean the adult version vs. a junior version?
I didn't realize the original was still licensed. It'd be fun, for the heck of it, to read that libretto.SPOILER ALERT, I guess

I believe there are three versions of Anything Goes available. The original 1930's, the 1960's Off-Broadway (Hal Linden did it) and the Lincoln Center version which was the last two productions that were on Broadway.

Why is that weird? Didn't you play most of the run?
Friday afternoon greetings! No, we did not blow away in a thunderstorm last night. I slept later than I should have this morning and had to rush around in order to pick up my Mom in time for her doctor's appointment. Her report was good with a follow-up visit scheduled for October. We then went to lunch and shopping and I've only been home about half an hour.

I bet your mom is thrilled that you are retired.

Actually, the original 1930s ANYTHING GOES was not the original. Originally the story took place during a ship wreck; but just before going into rehearsals. the Morro Castle burned off the coast of New Jersey, so they rewrote the musical.

Weather vibes indeed.
Much happiness to the couple. And to the uncle, of course.

And then there's Drood...formerly known as The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
;)
Or DROOD WHERE'S MY CAR?

Yes, I did, but it just seemed strange to have an understudy do Opening Night while I was down in Vegas watching Steve and Eydie!
Well, I just did what I was dragging my feet about doing: I contacted my attorney about changing my will to remove my former friend. It took me months to do the same with the Macbeths. I suppose in both cases I hoped that smething would occur to change my mind and show my instincts were wrong.Sorry to hear that.
Nada.

On a more posiive note, I know that I will have Stephen Rea for two rehearsals (piano and orchestra) before we record him. I am very excited about this.
I think tonight i will watch him as Constantin in THE SEA GULL or with Twiggy in THE DOCTOR AND THE DEVILS.

I was going to say that anything had to be better than a film version of THE SEAGULL. However, after reading a little about THE DOCTOR AND THE DEVILS, I think I would go with THE SEAGULL.

I'm a little confused by something. Have we as gay people allowed ourselves to equate
the people who question whether gay people should have the right to be legally married in the eyes of Federal law [recalling that Pres. Obama was in this group less than two years ago]
with
the people who question whether gay people should have human rights, and should be treated as equal for purposes of matters like employment, housing and those types of matters
I worry that some have started to label people "haters" because they haven't come as far as we'd like as quickly as we'd like, forgetting even the very liberal Democratic party President didn't support gay marriage just two years ago.
Well, this is an interesting controversy for the Olympics! It's a 3 and a 1/2 minute news item on Seattle's local NBC affiliate:
The Olympics get social: condom controversy at athletes village (http://www.king5.com/video/featured-videos/89-The-Olympics-get-social-with-Christie-Johnson-165682816.html).
And it's not what you think it's about! ;)

Thanks George. That reporter had some real penetrating questions, probed deeply into the investigation. (Had to say it before TCB did)
Did she really say that on the air about making sure Ryan Lochte got his proper allotment of condoms? Hope that wasn't on in the family hour.

Ah yes, it's been a few years, but I do now recall that the Pacific Northwest is very progressive that way.
Or is 4 p.m. the new midnight in your area?
The drive home was scary. Dust spiraling stories into the air. Trash flying all over the road. Winds so strong that the car was being knocked about. But the lightning was beautiful. And hopefully we'll get some rain.
Trash flying all over the road. .

I'd mentioned that one of my exes lived in San Antonio, but I didn't know you'd be running into him? Small world.

DR Danise - About your "low energy" post from the other day - Are you spending a couple of minutes outside each day to help build up your Vitamin D levels? Just 10 minutes in the sunlight can do some good.
Wow, it is quiet outside. They must be taking a break...nope, they just the machines are taking a break. The men are still working. This crew is an impressive group of hard working men.
There's a story in the L.A. Times questioning the future of "The Nutty Professor" without Hamlisch. It would seem odd at this point to talk about pulling the plug.

I'm glad you made it home safely.
Cilla, are you still happy with your new RAV4?
The BMX racing in the Olympics reminds me of the bike-riding scene in ET.
Whew! What an evening. I saw a post on facebook from some friends who's 4 month old golden retriever had gotten out of their yard. Ruby is their baby and is a total sweetheart. She is very well trained already. She had been missing for several hours, and there looked like there was a lead but I couldn't tell the outcome.. So I drove very slowly over to their house, looking for Ruby. When I got there, I was informed that they had found her and just gotten home.
