Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of a month called February, and now it is time for you to post until the February cows come home.

Good morning, all! I slept well and cannot remember a single dream.

This morning I have to meet our paralegal Geri at the McGlinnventory office to finalize this upcoming auction. I haven't seen her since December, and I look forward to it. After that, I'll make a stop at Toyland to check on things and head uptown. I've got plenty of work here.

Kerry, Happy Birthday To You!

BK,

Sorry to hear you did not like DRIVE.

I have a copy on the way to me, so we'll see if we agree/disagree.

I will be interested to get your opinion of both ANONYMOUS and TAKE SHELTER.

I liked them both very much, though TAKE SHELTER could lose 20 minutes.

It is already hanging on a wall between the dining room and the living room.

The gallery owner bubble wrapped it for me and I just stuck it in the trunk.  The Chevy Cobalt has an rather spacious trunk.

I will assume this is directed at me and not new DR Victor Herbert.  ;)

We may get track lighting, but it really isn't necessary as there's quite a bit of natural light there.  I really can't tell you how she affixed the color to the copper.  I'm assuming it's metallurgically applied somehow, or perhaps copper can be fired to different hues.  It is woven out of copper and then those woven sheets are bent.  It's really an amazing piece.

He Joined XM /SIRIUS A While Back and was not on Channel 4-40's Music But On The Siriusly Sinatra channel. On That Channel (especially On The Sunday Show) He played not only Sinatra But A Full Spectrum of Styles and Songs from The Great American Songbook  including Classical Musical Selections and Stand Up Comedy Routines. He is Very Eclectic and Very Knowledgeable.XM/Sirius Radio has somehow pigeon- holed him on The 40's Station. He Is Much More Than That.

I don't like looking out of a plane window either, despite having done lots of flights. I always get an aisle seat and try to forget that I'm so high up in the sky. I don't suffer from airsickness although last year I felt slightly queasy on a flight due to severe turbulance with drinks being thrown around the cabin.

I like looking out the window for the view, it is my stomach that doesn't like it.  For several hours of our flight to Tahiti it was extremely rocky.  Fortunately we rocked side to side without any forward dips or drops.  While I didn't feel great it was fairly tolerable.  The flight home was nice an smooth.

TOD:  You are going to make STUDIO cast albums of a Rodgers and Hammerstein show, a Jerry Herman show, and a Sondheim show (Sondheim in any capacity: music and lyrics or just lyrics).

Which three shows would you choose, and who would your casts be for each show?

R&H would be Flower Drum Song, although it would be hard to beat the original.  But for whatever reason, it's my favorite R&H score.  And I was very pleased with The King and I we did. 

Jerry Herman - none.

Sondheim - oh, Follies, I suppose - just would want my little shot at it.  If it were just a recording cast, I'm not sure who I'd go with but it wouldn't be anyone who was in the recent revival.

All this is in the new book.  I don't really go into the why I chose who for what song - that's just ephemera really.  I just had instincts and went with him.  The Billy Waring story is told, however.

Betsy loves it.  Everyone actually had a "free shopping" morning yesterday in Cannon Beach, which as you probably know, is tiny.  The kids were easy to spot and keep track of, and the town was actually otherwise almost completely deserted.

It's woven copper, believe it or not, absolutely gorgeous.  It catches the light in all sorts of cool ways.  I haven't been drawn to an art object like this in years, maybe ever.

I bet it looks great in you house.  Does Betsy like it as much as you do?

Did anyone comment that you were suppose to be chaperoning, not shopping. ;)

Betsy loves it.  Everyone actually had a "free shopping" morning yesterday in Cannon Beach, which as you probably know, is tiny.  The kids were easy to spot and keep track of, and the town was actually otherwise almost completely deserted.

I do not like Jonathan Schwartz and here's why: I once went into Footlight Records in the late 1990s and there was Mr. Schwartz selling SEALED promos we and other labels had sent him.  SEALED, as in unopened and unplayed.  He's been on my merde list ever since.

How rude! >:(

What did you do when you picked her up?  Was she really bad or was it the school being overly cautious?

I just saw that and was going to post it, too!  Check out this paragraph:

Quote
"I first heard about the show from an album [called] 'Shakespeare on Broadway'," Martin told Playbill.com by phone from Cullowhee, NC. "The song that caught my attention was 'Should I Speak of Loving You.' It's beautifully melodic, it has a lovely flow and a sentimental longing to it. It was [intended to be] the hit song of the show…the melody is heard in the entr'acte and exit music."

Good afternoon! I've been all over New York from Park Avenue & 23rd Street to Columbus Avenue and 68th Street. Now that I'm home, I've paid all of my current bills, and I am ready to hit the back with a big check. After that, I've got the a full score and a piano-vocal score to proof.

I need a nap.

Is that similar to a bank?

Well, it's time for me to leave.  For the "A Bucket of Blood" rehearsal tonight, we're going to run through act one.  We'll probably go through it at least twice (it's a fairly short show...the original movie was only about 66 minutes long!) and work sections that need working.  Tomorrow night will be act two.  I don't have any lines in act one and not much to do, but I am on stage in two or three scenes. :)

Until later!

I've been spending a good part of today getting ready for my trip to Memphis tomorrow. My day started off with playing for a couple of lessons, and while I was in the midst of those lessons I happened to find out that some important papers that were sent out last week were sent to the wrong address. So... I've also been taking care of that situation over the past couple of hours. And since I will be going directly into auditions for The Music Man right after I land back at LGA on Tuesday morning, well... Lots and lots of little things have been on my To Do List for today.

Thankfully, I'm packed for my trip. Almost.

I shall have to "ketchup" tomorrow and/or later.

~~~~~VIBES AND XYLOPHONES TO THOSE WHO NEED THEM~~~~~

Laters...

Goodnight.
