Well, you've read the notes, the notes had no outages and therefore no outrages, and now it is time for you to post until the outrageous cows come home.

Good morning, all! I slept sporadically last night. I'd sleep for a bit, wake for a while, doze off, wake up, doze off, etc.  It was most peculiar. The only dream I vaguely recall was about working on a porn film (not IN a porn film). Everyone was staying in this mansion owned by a wealthy glamorous couple, who were shadowy figures - perhaps the producers - and I was looking at large bound collections of Playboy ephemera and photography is this huge library that needed organizing. And occasionally a naked actor or actress would wander by and say hello.

I must take a walk very shortly to the post office in search of last week's package, and yesterday's; the manager responded to my email to the postal service yesterday, so I wat to take my mangled magazine and discuss the current postal brouhaha.

And that leads to the TOD:
peregrination

Tonight, it's an orchestra rehearsal for a production of The Wizard of Oz in which I am the string section.  Covering, what might be the industries most unplayable synthesizer book - which is all the string parts on one page (basically copied out of the P/C).  I've made it easier by using two keyboards (stacked) and Mainstage (a keyboard programming program from Apple).  It's almost playable now.  Reading it (as it's manuscript) is a little more difficult.

Had a very good work session with Sandy and Lanny.  Prior to that, I was up at six feeling quite nauseous, didn't fall back asleep until eight-thirty and slept forty-five more minutes until the telephonic device rang - the publisher telling me book has been vetted and is fine and is now in production.  I have the same production person I normally have, so this part should really only take two or three days.

I was just watching a documentary, no, "informative concert" (?) on Arthur Schwartz and his music. I love these. It's from a series of shows recorded in 1982, featuring various songwriters who sang and told interesting stories about their careers and how some of the songs came to be. I was surprised to see that this one included two of BK's singers, Nancy Dessault and Judy Kaye. There's a CD of Dorothy Fields that's the same sort of things--most interesting.
