I forgot that around 1975 I saw the pre-Broadway tour of Lorelei in Cincinnati.  Channing was fun, but the show was poor, and I kept wishing I were seeing Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Brandon Maggart has a chapter in his bio on the horrors of the tour and the Broadway run.

I could not remember the year.  Much of the 1970s is a blur.  I remember the drive to Cincinnati, the traffic tie up that made us think we wpould be late, and the people I went wit5h, but not the year.

DR Elmore, I just discovered that I have a LORELEI program from the Fisher and it appears to be from 1972, because there’s a big Chevy ad for the 1973 model year.  I had absolutely no recollection of seeing that show, but it must have been 1972.

You’re ahead of me - I didn’t even remember seeing the show...

I wish this were on DVD!

If you just want this on a DVD, I can actually do that.  Of course, it would be cheap and dirty and not great resolution because this original wasn't great, but it's pretty easy to make a DVD of this.

Yes, please!

You got it!  Anyone else?

I need to try doing this myself, but ... yes, please?

In the meantime, if anyone wants to buy it, it's available here:

I've never ordered from them (or even heard of them), so I don't know how reliable they are. ::)

The Kids Are Alright is on tonight.   I highly recommend it.....I think Timmy gets his brother involved in his stage shenanigans.

17 days of this cold is very frustrating.  Just when I thought I was completely over it I get worse.  Please, some vibes that I at least stop coughing.

I'm on my fourth week: 25 days now.

Sorry, vibes for both of us.

Meeting lasted about ninety minutes and included lunch at a little cafe at the Autry.  I had a pulled pork sandwich - very small but the best I've ever had.  Really good.

I then had to ship something, and there were some screeners that had come, including Bohemian Rhapsody.  Then I came home and began futzing and finessing.

But it was the same story as yesterday - just so tired that it took a really long time to finish that part of it and I did a lot of adding and subtracting.  I wrote about a half a page and went to the couch and stretched out, and then slept for about an hour and fifteen minutes.  Then I wrote two new pages easily and I'm taking a brief break and then for the next three hours I will damn well finish fifteen pages.

Six pages so far.  I'll get to the new chapter in a couple of pages, then try to get to ten, take a break, then write five more for sure.

But I'll definitely do four more pages and maybe two or three beyond that, because I only did about eight yesterday.

This is a public domain picture, and the quality of the DVD print is fairly lousy.
