Well, you've read the notes, you know the skinny, and now it is time for you to post until the skinny cows come home.

And the word of the day is: DACTYLOGRAPHY!

But before I go...BK (and anyone else interested), Florence Henderson had done that version of "When You're Good to Mama" in 2003...and someone posted it on YouTube in 2006!

Good morning, all!
I slept terribly; too much leading man tsuris is driving me mad and the Man from Philadelphia, who knows about performance what I know about advanced physics, can work my last nerve with his vocal comments about my suggested men.
So, I'm off to Toyland this morning. UPS is delivering a package, and I've got things to accomplish.

Good morning, all.
A decent sleep, even though it seems I always end up with an annoying repeating dream that signals the end of any real sleep I'm going to get -- and today was no different. Oh well.

CONGRATS on a truly wonderful Kritzerland show!
I know BK has said he is not moved to record these shows, but we would so happily take a little crumb now and then. Please sir, a crumb.

Coffee!

No coffee for me till I get to work. :(

Well, today is a full one, so I must and needs take my leave to go E&T for much of it. Might be able to check in at some point, but I won't be truly back till sometime mid-evening.

VIBES that DR ELMORE'S Leading Man Tsuris resolves itself - in a good way, and sooner rather than later.
Thank you! I will hopefully hear from two gentlemen today about interest/schedule, I'm waiting to hear from Patrick in DC, and I think the singer I spoker to last night really wasn't interested.
-
Greetings from Toyland!
My desk is covered with scores. My friend Curtis has been very busy!
-
Chas Smith - catching up and read about your vet - so sorry to hear that sad news
-
Thanks for the vibes - what's really great (or maybe more sad about the supposedly gay-friendly site DataLounge, depending on how you look at it) is that the positive energy makes me get on the stick and look for evidnece, and yesterday I found two GREAT pieces of evidence I didn't know I'd had for the case against the site which allowed (and one of its rogue employees even - it turns out - had to have participated in) the stalking by Jon Frank's friends to go on and on.
I found concrete proof the site (DL) had actually gone in and altered posts of someone working on my show, to language that was meant to make him look like an idiot. If they had just removed the post, they'd be OK and within their rights, but actually changing the post and keeping his "screen name signature" on it shows that the site had an employee who had bad intentions of making fun of someone saying something positive about me - in addition to whatever the posting stalkers were doing. So thanks for the vibes - they caused action - spurred me on to quite a discovery. They're not just an innocent site that can say they are not responsible for what their users post anymore. (This is not TB, but that other site DL.)
Basically, i was able to get a copy of the DataLounge page before the rogue employee changed it. And of course we have the post with the rogue employee's nasty change. guess they assumed nobody would be saving anything, and maybe normally they'd be right, but in this case...

Great news about the show BK!

Larry, hope it all turns out well for Roberta!

Thanks for the shoulder vibes. It was really bad last night (the worst it's ever been). I heated, iced, heated. I tried a big pillow at the side of the bed. I think it helped a bit. I tried to hold my shoulder while I get out of bed.
It still hurts. But better than yesterday. Does anyone have anything else you can do? Are ice and heat even the right things to do?
-
Glad the show went well Bruce.
-
DR Cillaliz, from your post last night it sounded like your former facebook friend/relative has been posting pics of her and her new boyfriend on facebook?? If that is true then that is the tackiest thing I've heard.

Good news DR FJL. Continued vibes!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vibes for DR Elmore!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
One of my favorite lines/stories by the great lyricist Ellen Fitzhugh, who wrote the wonderful "Herringbone" with Tom cone and Skip and the beautiful "Los Otros" with Michael john LaChiusa, and I've talked about teh joy of "Paper Moon" which she wrote with Larry Grossman at the Walnut:
She and Larry Grossmanwere writing additional material for a musical for Anthony Newley, and at one point were being asked to do something in the style of Newley and Bricusse, and Ellen - always great with a quip - had a great line which apparently got everybody laughing: Well, Larry and i can't really just write "What Kind of Fool Can i Turn To"
(BTW, HERRINGBONE CD should be out in the next few months. B.D. Wong emailed Skip, says the mastering was delayed due to unexpected work and everyone's volunteering their time, but should be soon.)
-
Monday morning greetings! It's so nice to be home with a quiet week ahead of me. Maybe I'll finally get my new (to me) bookcase moved into my Momcave from the garage!
-
Just read that Margaret Thatcher died.
-
Thanks for the Herringbone update, FJL.
-
And, Larry, I hope you get the leading man of your dreams.
-
Yes leading man vibes for DR ELMORE.
-
Great news about the show BK!
Ditto!
I sent huge vibes & xylophones! How could it fail?
-
And, Larry, I hope you get the leading man of your dreams.
We lost that one to City Opera. I will be happy to find one I feel is more than adequate.
-
BK, congratulations on Kritzerland 32!
-
Bang! another possibility shot down. I wasn't too sorry to see this one go.
-
And, Larry, I hope you get the leading man of your dreams.

Chas Smith - catching up and read about your vet - so sorry to hear that sad news
DR ChasSmith - Yes, sorry to hear that. The vet I visit also died a few months ago after a short illness. He was only 60 and was a wonderful, kind man. There was a tribute to him in the local paper and the veterinary practice was overwhelmed with messages of condolences. I'd been visiting him with my pets for over 20 years and will miss seeing him.

Just read that Margaret Thatcher died.
I heard the news on my way back from lunch. Not unexpected but it still came as a shock. Regardless as to one's political views, she was a monumental figure in British politics. The TV news here is reporting nothing else.

Had a wonderful weekend, although I got absolutely nothing done...not even my laundry.
-
Best part of the weekend was attending my firs Holi festival which is put on by the local Inda-US organization here in Salem.
My former neighbor here in the apartment complex is the president of the group and he invited me to volunteer this year. I, along with two other guys, were in charge of greeting the guests and taking their food (there was a potluck) to the food table where it was labeled vegetarian or non-vegetarian (as many Indians are vegetarian).
It was a great time and I met some really nice people. A few of the residents here at my apartment complex attended as well, which was fun.
-
Along with the food and social aspect, there was plenty of entertainment! It really was just like in the Bollywood movies!! So of course I was in heaven.
Here is one of he highlights: My former neighbor and his wife performing a musical number from the film LAGAAN.
She has studied classic dance for many years and this was the first time he had ever danced. She taught him this routine in just a few days. I think he did pretty dang good!
For best effect make the video full screen!

Hi DR Elmore;
Thanks for comment. Are you the funny one in this group?

My work is finished and I am stuck here waiting for a UPS package. I have no idea what the hell it is I'm waiting for!

DR Jrand I just heard the sad news this morning and thought of you.

Yes, of course - it was late - I fixed it.

I'm up after a glorious and very needed good night's sleep.
-
Someone had told me last night that Florence had done the number back a decade ago and again once after that. But here's all I can tell you having watched the video clip posted here - on Saturday the number was tighter, much funnier, and much lewder, with slightly different choreography. But even in the 2003 video it's great - but her at seventy-nine doing it was just fall out of your chair funny.
-

To inject a bit of humor into the passing of Margaret Thatcher, some folks are upset, not because Lady Thatcher died but because
They Think Cher Died!!! (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23nowthatchersdead)
There is a hashtag on Twitter #nowthatchersdead and if you read quickly you "might" think that Cher died (now that Chers dead) along with Annette, Mrs. Thatcher and Roger Ebert. Rest assured, Cher is still with us.

Thanks for the vibes - what's really great (or maybe more sad about the supposedly gay-friendly site DataLounge, depending on how you look at it) is that the positive energy makes me get on the stick and look for evidnece, and yesterday I found two GREAT pieces of evidence I didn't know I'd had for the case against the site which allowed (and one of its rogue employees even - it turns out - had to have participated in) the stalking by Jon Frank's friends to go on and on.
I found concrete proof the site (DL) had actually gone in and altered posts of someone working on my show, to language that was meant to make him look like an idiot. If they had just removed the post, they'd be OK and within their rights, but actually changing the post and keeping his "screen name signature" on it shows that the site had an employee who had bad intentions of making fun of someone saying something positive about me - in addition to whatever the posting stalkers were doing.

I just finished listening to A TIME FOR SINGING.

I'm thinking it might have been a mistake to change the narrator from the boy (i.e. the adult Roddy McDowell character) to the minister (Walter Pidgeon), but then I didn't see the production.

And I am home. UPS came and did not knock loudly on the door as requested. From the time UPS claims he tried to deliver whatever the hell it is, I was on the phone talking to a potential leading man and never heard the taps of the delivery man. I did learn from the receipt left on the door that the package is not for me but for my colleague Curtis. I am still angry over this schmuck jerk UPS man. He'll hear about it tomorrow.

Good day! I've played a funeral, went to the gym, and now I'm home. Going to prepare lunch, get a shower, and then it's back to the coat show. Kids have been on spring intercession for three weeks - and man, did that go by fast.

The news of Annette brought a tear to my eye.
-
Thanks, george. How i wish they actually hadn't been so awful and caused all this mess to happen because obviously they as the owners of dataLounge, had they not supported those people, could have stopped what they were doing, as other sites did. But since they had been and the damage all happened, i'm VERY grateful i found the actual hard copy evidence after all these months, which wouldn;t have happened without being spurred to action by friends like you

John G - Well, actually unless it means that it's enough leverage to make DataLounge want to settle, it really means the beginning of a worthwhile legal claim, because now it seems like a fight really worth fighting tooth and nail for. So far, it seems their reaction to adversity has been to get nastier somehow.
But at least now I know the proof is there that they can't act all innocent like twitter and say "It was just the people who use our service, not us" -
It was at the very least one of their own employees actually involved in the bad acts (which was suspected, now there's hard evidence). the owners may try to distance themselves from that, but let's see if they can when it's so 100% clear now, when they'd been told months ago this was happening and they did nothing to stop it..

I have been for physical therapy on my neck before. But shoulder is actually feeling a bit better. And the big pillow beside my bed that you suggested seems to help.

Now worries about mispelling my name DR Kate. That happens a lot. Some people misprounounce it also, for some reason. Wheneve DR Elmore calls me by name it always comes out sounding like "Jack-Ass." But he assures me that it is just because of his thick Ohio accent.
-
Not just crayon, DR Elmore, I can read in finger paint, too!

Poor Annette. I don't know how to feel. Seeing the condition that she has been in the last few years it seems as if she had already died. Such a thing should not have happen to such a nice lady.

RIP Margaret Thatcher. I saw her in person once. She visited USS Kitty Hawk and addressed the crew. My boss was her escort. I got to within about three feet of her, she looked at me and said "Hello". I said "Hello" back. That was it. The end.

I got an e-mail saying the tapes were ready to pick up, so I ran out the door to do that - of course, I hadn't turned off the alarm so the minute I left that went to the alarm company - fortunately they called me and I gave the password and so that was all fine. I got the tapes, put gas in the motor car, and then drove to the transfer place in Hollywood. We put up something that was clearly an album mock-up for an album that didn't happen - it was at the slower speed of 7 1/2 ips that I've been told the previous CD release was taken from - but since the previous release was almost twenty minutes longer, where did those twenty minutes come from - I've been told those were also from the slower speed but I haven't seen those tapes. Anyway, despite the box being marked stereo (the previous release was mono), it was mono. We then put up one of the other four reels, which were at the optimal speed of 15ips and it sounded pretty good to us, and we both thought better than the previous release. Whether one of these boxes contains the missing cue we're looking for is anyone's guess, but I should be able to figure that out this evening when the stuff appears in Dropbox. But minimally, we should have this sounding a lot better.

Great pictures, Jane!

Hello, everyone.
Jane, you're correct about the state distinction for Wills. My Will is a California Will.

Thank you DR's John & George.

Congrats to BK and cast on such a fine show!

My condolences to JRand and other fans of Ms Funicello.

DR Doug, have you ever heard of--or worn-- Hotter shoes? Hotter is a UK company that makes COMFORTABLE shoes for men and women (can you imagine?), which are also stylish. (!) I was so bowled over by this novel idea that I took advantage of their promotion and bought some. I wore them for the first time today. They felt great.
For those of us who are Stateside, www.hotterusa.com. For DR Doug, www.hotter.com. About the price of Ecco.

I found concrete proof the site (DL) had actually gone in and altered posts of someone working on my show, to language that was meant to make him look like an idiot. If they had just removed the post, they'd be OK and within their rights, but actually changing the post and keeping his "screen name signature" on it shows that the site had an employee who had bad intentions of making fun of someone saying something positive about me - in addition to whatever the posting stalkers were doing.
Very glad that you found proof.

Art work of "Berner of the Baskerville" aka Sherlock is for sale. I think it is exciting.
http://fineartamerica.com/featured/berner-of-the-baskerville-liane-weyers.html
The artist would have done this months ago except the name Sherlock infringed on the intellectual property rights of the Conan Doyle Estate. Today Keith offered several name selections, this being his favorite, and the artist loved it.

Thanks for the shoulder vibes. It was really bad last night (the worst it's ever been). I heated, iced, heated. I tried a big pillow at the side of the bed. I think it helped a bit. I tried to hold my shoulder while I get out of bed.
It still hurts. But better than yesterday. Does anyone have anything else you can do? Are ice and heat even the right things to do?
DR Jennifer, many people advocate the alternating heat and ice, as you've been doing. Personally, I like heat. If you're looking for an herbal approach, I'd recommend Meriva Tumeric, which I take. Fasting can be very effective. Also, lemon water (juice of half a lemon in a glass of water 3x/day) helps to alkalinize. Hope you feel better.

(BTW, HERRINGBONE CD should be out in the next few months. B.D. Wong emailed Skip, says the mastering was delayed due to unexpected work and everyone's volunteering their time, but should be soon.)
I've always wanted to see HERRINGBONE. Glad to hear about the CD.

Thanks. Heat does feel better. But surprisingly (to me) it didn't feel too bad after I iced it last night.

To inject a bit of humor into the passing of Margaret Thatcher, some folks are upset, not because Lady Thatcher died but because
They Think Cher Died!!! (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23nowthatchersdead)
There is a hashtag on Twitter #nowthatchersdead and if you read quickly you "might" think that Cher died (now that Chers dead) along with Annette, Mrs. Thatcher and Roger Ebert. Rest assured, Cher is still with us.
That's really funny. Of course, everyone knows that things happen in three's! ;)

RIP Margaret Thatcher. I saw her in person once. She visited USS Kitty Hawk and addressed the crew. My boss was her escort. I got to within about three feet of her, she looked at me and said "Hello". I said "Hello" back. That was it. The end.
So you were close personal friends, right?

I am too difficult to fit to mess around with online without knowing for sure. I will just have to visit the UK to try them. ;)

DR Cillaliz, from your post last night it sounded like your former facebook friend/relative has been posting pics of her and her new boyfriend on facebook?? If that is true then that is the tackiest thing I've heard.
Not exactly. Her new boyfriend posted photos of her and her son. One was a video filmed at her house while her husband was at work. It was her playing the piano, nothing obscene, but he was there and so was her son. That's what ticks me off. Who takes their 5 year old son with them to have an affair. Neither she or her bf have their posts hidden from the public, so we were looking at them. I found out today that her husband saw the same video and I'm sure it's no coincidence that the boyfriend took the video and the photos with Gabe in them off his pag
-
That's what made me mad enough to unfriend her.
-
Congrats on the success of your show, BK!
-
French Streisand fans are in mourning--the Paris show has been cancelled! I was planning on going to that show but hadn't gotten a ticket yet.
-
Poor Annette. I don't know how to feel. Seeing the condition that she has been in the last few years it seems as if she had already died. Such a thing should not have happen to such a nice lady.
I thought the same thing, DRMBarnum.
-
I was also wondering how they're going to handle the Margaret Thatcher number in Billy Elliot. I imagine it will be discussed on the theater message boards and playbill.com.
-
That's what made me mad enough to unfriend her.
I hope someone saved those photos just in case they are needed down the road if she wants full custody.
The hurt and anger your family must be feeling over this makes the whole situation even worse. She will always be Gabe's mother. I'm mostly sorry for your nephew. :(

He's taking it better than the rest of the family, but we just found out about it and he's been living in the relationship. And yes everything is being saved.

It was a long time before Craig could tell us that he was getting divorced. We suspected but waited until he was ready to talk about it. At least there wasn't a child and no one cheated on the other.

Good evening.
Back from a full afternoon / evening of rehearsal at the high school.
Heard the news about Annette as I was pulling into the parking lot.

Well, I must be off. I'm feeding my friend's cats and she's coming home very late tonight, so I finally get to let them out. If I had let them out before, they'd never come back in the house. But since my friend is coming home tonight, the cats will come back inside for them.
When I get home, I still have some TV watching to do, to get shows off my DVR so it doesn't fill up. After watching last night's couple of shows, I'm down to about 79% filled (it's my hi-def DVR). There's nothing that's being broadcast tonight that I want to watch, so that'll help. :)
Be back later!

I was told that Jenna Rosen's mom had posted a photo of us taken by her mom at Little Toni's - very cute photo. Apparently, someone (and we know who) flagged it as "inappropriate." What the HELL is wrong with people? I posted the photo on my timeline and mentioned that it had been flagged on the mom's page. Now, first off, the mom POSTED it - how can it be inappropriate when the parent of the child posts it? She's trying to get some answers from Facebook, but I think we all know how that's going to go. After I posted it, the mom began getting phone calls asking her what in tarnation was going on, so we didn't want that - I took it down and reposted without saying what had happened. I tell you, if one more thing like this happens, the person responsible is going to have some fairly dirty laundry aired. At some point, trying to remain on the high road becomes more trouble than its worth, and the only way to shut down someone who is obviously having some really big issues is to let them know that this will not come out well for them in the end.

No CD in the mail, but I did get another 100 copies of the book. Now, to get them signed so they can sell.

Now worries about mispelling my name DR Kate. That happens a lot. Some people misprounounce it also, for some reason. Wheneve DR Elmore calls me by name it always comes out sounding like "Jack-Ass." But he assures me that it is just because of his thick Ohio accent.
LOL
-
Not just crayon, DR Elmore, I can read in finger paint, too!
Oh Mikey i do love you!!! :)
-
That's what made me mad enough to unfriend her.
That is pretty bad. He should not have posted a video. And she should not have had her son there. Very understandable why you got mad.

Tragic news about Annette.
Also sad news about Mrs. Thatcher.

So this morning I woke up to a chilly house
-
Poor Annette. I don't know how to feel. Seeing the condition that she has been in the last few years it seems as if she had already died. Such a thing should not have happen to such a nice lady.
I totally agree, Mike.
-
so I wandered down to the basement where I confirmed my fears - the furnace was not running
-
Nor could it be persuaded to run
-
I woke up Vixdad who took one look and said 'thermo coupler"
-
I called out plumber heater guy but he was unable to come due to previous bookings and was unavailable until Tuesday morning
-
That's a great video of "Never Never Land." If that's any indication of what the rest of the evening was like, I can see why you'd say it was the best.
-
RIP Margaret Thatcher. I saw her in person once. She visited USS Kitty Hawk and addressed the crew. My boss was her escort. I got to within about three feet of her, she looked at me and said "Hello". I said "Hello" back. That was it. The end.
Was that the time she did her famous version of LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU?
-
So I called some other random plumber heater guy from the yellow pages
-
and he came and agreed with the thermcoupler diagnosis
-
so $400 poorer I wandered off the work arriving an hour late
-
I never really caught up all day

I had several things I had planned to do today. Just before I left for P.T., I started having stomach cramps. I swallowed a couple of Gas-X and headed off to therapy. I barely made it thru therapy before I was hit by an urgent call of nature. Everything else on the schedule (including lunch with my sister) was pit off until tomorrow. By 2:00 p.m. I felt I needed to take a nap. I slept until Nicky woke me up at 6:15.

What did we do before the Internet? I knew I had heard of Sarita Monteil. Thanks to Wikipedia, I know why:
She was portrayed in the Pedro Almodóvar film Bad Education by a male actor in drag (Gael García Bernal) as the transsexual character Zahara, and a film clip from one of her movies was used as well.

Just finishing a DVD of "Rags" with Teresa Stratas. Charles Strouse may have wanted to throw a chair at her for being a royal pain, but, man, could she sing the heck out of that score. And the script wasn't all that bad; not perfect, just not as good as Strouse's insanely wonderful melodies. I have to do some research to find out why the critics hated it so much.

And I have to go to bed.

A long way off to peace, and likely years and years to resolution, unless this makes them settle finally instaed of playing the stupid games they've been playing. But it's a good step towards hopefully holding rotten people accountable. It doesn't begin to answer why the people decided to be rotten, which remains a mystery, and the lasting horrible effects of what they did.

My annual March Madness closer, the wish to get to write the replacement song for that tired ONE SHINING MOMEMT, since it's not fair that he gets to hog that gig for 25 years just because ge knew the right people 25 years ago
ONE WHINY MOMENT
tune of ONE SHINING MOMENT
That writer’s good / But here I am
I’m searching for a break / No one gives a damn
All my career / No one cares
Just how hard I try / To push my wares
Give me one whiny moment
And then I’ll be fine
My one whiny moment
A moment that’s mine
I know I’m short / Of friends with clout
Wasn’t it some other sport / That song was about?
Who did he know / To get his through
He got his song a go / By who he knew
Just one whiny moment
That’s all that I need
Just one whiny moment
I beg and I plead
Like twenty-five years that that song’s in our face
So maybe a contest for one to repla-a-a-a-a-ce
He said just one / But man alive
He deserved his one / Not twenty-five
(really sell it here)
Give me one whiny moment
Give way for new songs
One whiny moment
So maybe do two songs
-
That's OK, TCB, just make believe you like ONE WHINY MOMENT and I'll be OK for now.
Seriously, thansk to all for the vibes.
