George, yes, the orchestra began the show with a Sherman Brothers overture. Two-thirds of the way through act one they did the Tom Sawyer overture. They opened act two with a Mary Poppins medley, and they played some of Small World during the finale.

I was imagining that part of the problem was their choice of material that didn't fit with the event. I'm glad I was wrong.

Guess I have to get ready to go to some event I would rather not go to, but alas...

Well, I'm off to my Legally Blonde production meeting. It won't last more than an hour because rehearsal starts at 7:00. I don't need to stay for that, so I'll do a little more prop shopping after the meeting.

Until later.

It's 9 p.m. and it's still 102 degrees out there.

A friend was having a preview of his new restaurant. I had an excellent piece of snapper and a cabbage pancake with red cabbage sauce.

John G. · « **Reply #68 on:** July 23, 2018, 06:59:17 PM »

I also had a couple of beers to take an edge off the heat. Excellent stuff.

John G. · « **Reply #69 on:** July 23, 2018, 06:59:47 PM »

I came home and watered the garden again. I got bit by quite a few mosquitoes. Ugh.

John G. · « **Reply #70 on:** July 23, 2018, 07:00:09 PM »

The AC just kicked in. Can't work too quickly for me.

Watching an early Peckinpah movie called Major Dundee with Charlton Heston. Richard Harris, with no change in his accent, is playing a Confederate soldier. It's snot as exciting as it should be, but I guess Peckinpah was learning his craft.

Hello, everyone.

I had a call today from the building manager, saying that the handyman will be coming next Monday to start the work. I told her I'd not had enough time to arrange alternative housing and suggested we find another solution. She was not happy. But she called back a little while later with the alternative I'd suggested. This means I don't have to move out. It's funny how quickly things change. I don't think the mention of the word "lawyer" had anything to do with it, do you?

Jeanne · « **Reply #74 on:** July 23, 2018, 07:47:02 PM »

I truly hope this works out. I really don't like playing hardball. But, as evidenced by some of the posts from the recent TOD on bullying, sometimes you have to stand up for yourself.

Jeanne · « **Reply #75 on:** July 23, 2018, 07:47:17 PM »

We shall see.

Jeanne · « **Reply #76 on:** July 23, 2018, 07:48:02 PM »

In other news, it's hot here.

I rather liked Vixmom's recent comparison between a conductor and a stage director.

TTFN.

Where is everyone tonight?

Nick Redman offers commentary on the Major Dundee movie.

John G. · « **Reply #82 on:** July 23, 2018, 08:43:00 PM »

And the movie had an impressive cast, including Warren Oates, Brock Peters, Jim Hutton, Slim Pickens and James Coburn, who practically walks away with the picture.

John G. · « **Reply #83 on:** July 23, 2018, 08:43:17 PM »

I need to head off to bed.

John G. · « **Reply #84 on:** July 23, 2018, 08:43:47 PM »

I may have to adjust the AC a little lower tonight.

John G. · « **Reply #85 on:** July 23, 2018, 08:43:58 PM »

And get those fans going again.

John G. · « **Reply #86 on:** July 23, 2018, 08:44:12 PM »

But can we get off this page first?

John G. · « **Reply #87 on:** July 23, 2018, 08:44:23 PM »

It depends.

John G. · « **Reply #88 on:** July 23, 2018, 08:44:40 PM »

What it depends on, though, I don't know.

John G. · « **Reply #89 on:** July 23, 2018, 08:44:49 PM »

Let's just move on.
