I have the Encores! CD of Pipe Dream, but alas (or a lass, you take your pick), I didn't see that production.

There’s a very good bootleg out there.

Do tell.

And thank you.

Back from picking up packages, a Gelson's stop, and I just had to throw out an entire batch of faux chicken stroganoff, which is so irritating I can't even tell you. I hope I don't get food poisoning for the few tastes I had - about four - to make sure I was tasting what I was tasting. Since it was great until I added the sour cream, the sour cream is the culprit. Brand new, never opened, supposedly good to the end of July, bought just a week and a half ago - and obviously gone bad.

So, a complete waste of money and food. I'm making tuna sandwiches now.

I'm so careful that flies don't have a chance to enter the home environment, but one managed to follow me in. Too bad for the fly. It landed on my computer table, but I had nothing to get it with and it flew away. About twenty minutes later, I went looking for it, found it quickly at the front door and that was it for the fly.

Listening to a small box set of the marvelous pianist Byron Janis - some solo stuff, which I'm enjoying because he's so good and because I don't know any of the music - a Beethoven Sonata "Tempest" playing at the moment in rather incredible mono sound from 1950.

I got an email from Barbra Streisand today. Okay, it was a form email asking for money. But it had Babs’ name on it.

Broadway will stay dark until January. Doubt there will be a Thanksgiving parade This year.

Had no idea that Hugo Winterhalter was such a good conductor - a wonderful Rhapsody in Blue with Janis and paired with a great version of Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #102 on:** June 29, 2020, 03:20:24 PM »

Janis is wonderful.

Not sure I’ve listened to any Winterhalter.

Sorry. I know how frustrating that is. From experience, the odds are you won't get sick from it.

George & Tom have you heard of the Old Apple Tree in Vancouver?

Jane · « **Reply #107 on:** June 29, 2020, 03:22:51 PM »

Vancouver's Old Apple Tree was planted in 1826 on Fort Vancouver land and is thought to be the oldest apple tree in the Northwest. It is also considered the matriarch of Washington State's apple industry.

Mayo was fine.

But it wasn't the best batch of tuna I've made.

We occasionally walk past this historical tree

I had no idea Byron Janis was still alive - 93, I think. I thought he'd died because there aren't any more recordings after the 1960s - but he developed severe arthritis, finally came forward about it, and became the spokesperson for the Arthritis Foundation. There's a DVD in this set with his story, so I'll definitely watch that.

Jane · « **Reply #113 on:** June 29, 2020, 03:26:51 PM »

Sadly, after 194 years the Old Apple Tree has died

Famous trees.....and I am still unknown......

OMG - how could I have forgotten my most recent R/H experience.....the road company of The King & I starring the one and only Miss Hayley Mills as Miss Anna.....

It was great fun and the audience loved her.....and she was very nice to meet folks at the stage door.

This day just needs to be over, seriously. Bad food, the computer not doing what it should be doing because of weirdnesses, the most recent of which was Airdrop not finding my iPhone because the wi-fi kept defaulting to an old network of mine. I Googled and found out how to stop that from happening in the future, and now it's finally working, but between that and this morning's trackpad BS, I am officially OVER this stupid day.

He was a brilliant pianist and absolutely horrible human being. I once worked on a version of Hunchback of Notre Dame he was composing - yes, he wanted to write musicals! - and Russell Warner orchestrated his musical, Hans Brinker. Very ugly - I recall something about spousal abuse - and pretentious man, and he wrote nice music for both shows.
