Here is a question for all you classical music turned musical theatre savvy people. I just heard on the "Musical Talk" podcast a reference to Coplands "The Tender Land" being associated with Rogers and Hammerstein. How are "The Tender Land" and Rogers and Hammerstein connected?

Oh, hello everyone! Happy Friday!

Were they the producers?

RoDgers and Hammerstein commissioned the piece, another example that real talent fosters other real talent.

Thanks, DR JMK

Ditto!

Finally back home. Horrendous traffic coming back from the Hills of Woodland - and I don't mean the freeway. I mean I drove five miles north and completely out of the way to a street that I thought would be free and clear all the way across the Valley - but it wasn't, Blanche, it wasn't. This morning's meeting was interesting and if the long musical is going ahead it's going to be a VERY different show, which includes the main setting and the title.

I came home after that for about three minutes, then had to deliver a big box o' CDs to a local dealer and then had to meet Mr. David Wechter - we'll be starting to write in earnest next week.

We went to Jerry's Deli in Woodland Hills - I had my usual turkey sandwich and a small side split of fries and onion rings.

Got back from Columbus in time to have a quick supper with Richard before he left for the last symphony chorale rehearsal before tomorrow night's concert. When you leave our state's capitol city at 4pm on a Friday, the outer beltway is like the Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Off to the theater! After tonight's show, our Joyce and her (real) husband Michael are hosting a cast party! It'll be a long night, I'm sure.

Until later...much later!

Last time we were in L.A. we went to Jerry's in Westwood so I could buy some challah & rye breads. The challah was just ok, the rye bread horrible.

Ginny, did you get a change to read? I left Margaret doing what we knew all along she would do, applying to schools. If the library were open today I would be visiting Molly tonight, instead I shall be returning to the sisters & their family.

I do believe that people, at least women, dressed up to go shopping...at least they did not TV.

No, it wasn't always like that - it's why I went on, at length, about my early theatergoing experiences in Kritzer Time - I wanted kids who read the book to know what it was like to experience theater - seeing it, sitting in a theater, and the fact that the audience did not behave like they were watching a wrestling match.

I recall that, when I was growing up and we went to the theater...even community theater...men wore a coat & tie.

Today, you see jeans and a t-shirt.

Were THAT only true. No, what you see today, and this doesn't only apply to young people, are men in shorts and t-shirts and thongs (the shoe variety - whatever they call them today). It's nauseating.

....but BK....jeans, tennis shoes, and an untucked shirt to the theatre? For shame!

When we lived in Michigan there was a semi small upscale shopping center. During the weekdays woman dressed up to shop & lunch there. On the weekends things were more casual when the men & families shopped. I always enjoyed going their with my girlfriends.

And remember when we used to dress up for an airline flight?

Jane · « **Reply #138 on:** May 14, 2010, 06:31:41 PM »

DR Ginny, I don't remember dressing up for an airline flight. I dressed in comfortable clothes for barfing in. Sorry to be so descriptive. Since I was eight when I went on my first flight it is possible back then I wore a dress. Back then little girls usually wore dresses.

bk · « **Reply #139 on:** May 14, 2010, 06:36:36 PM »

I see nothing wrong with nice jeans, a nice shirt (I never tuck in any shirt) and sneakers.

Ginny · « **Reply #140 on:** May 14, 2010, 06:36:45 PM »

Oh, Jane, sorry you had to take *that* into consideration when you were going on an airplane. Seems to me that I didn't start dressing down to fly until I had Rob with me. First time we flew together he was 6 months old and I took him to Phoenix to meet my aunt and uncle while my mom was out there visiting (before she moved out there).

Good Evening!

Well... I am not my own cousin.

However... My cousin, Kristine, did get married recently - back on May 4. In Seattle, not New York City. However, she is still planning on a church ceremony in Seattle sometime down the line.

-And we did have lunch today at Vynl. After we were done eating, I washed up in the Dolly Parton bathroom, and she used the Nelly Furtado one.

I still do have to worry about it. I'm much better now & has been a long time since I've been that sick. Thank goodness!!!

I'm amazed when I see women all dressed up to fly, especially when they have children with them. I keep reading it is important to wear good shoes that tie securely when flying, in case you have to make an emergency exit. I often see women wearing very flimsy sandals, forget the flight how do they manage running through an airport to catch a connecting flight
