I staged Oldest Original Permanent Floating and Guys & Dolls the title tune and both really look good....

So on we go. We get Sky tonight.....so this is his first music rehearsal, and we may do a bit of blocking as well....we shall see how the time goes.

Title: Re: IT'S A TYPICAL DAY
Post by: elmore3003 on April 24, 2014, 07:30:33 AM: Thanks, DRs fjl and Ginny! I'm really in a rut and it means getting over it; I've got a busy month of May with three events with Rob Berman, the Faith Prince-Anthny Warlow work, mixing ROBERTA and writing the liner notes, but this bathroom situation seems endless. I feel my life is on hold trying to keep the time open to get the work done. It's really getting under my skin and causing too much inertia.

God knows what my brothers have done with the Ohio property and if it's financially tied into the family business. I understand there's a new realtor now involved. Their 2/3 share makes all decisions and I get very little info abut what's going on. The Macbeths have kept me out of the loop since 2008. My fear is that it's going to be lost in the company mess, and that I'll have to sue my brothers for what I thought would be my retirement share. My other fear is that, if the property is safe, it won't sell until long after I'm dead.

I want to go back to bed.

Gray skies are gonna clear up,
Put on a happy face!
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a happy face!
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy,
It's not your style;
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
You decided to smile!
Pick out a pleasant outlook,
Stick out that noble chin!
Wipe off that "full of doubt" look,
Slap on a happy grin!
And spread sunshine all over the place,
Just put on a happy face!

In consonance with that thought, why not do a "Say It With Music" show....a sort of tribute to the aborted MGM musical about Berlin. Perhaps there is someone at MGM who could dig out some list of tunes they were planning for the film.

Post by: singdaw on April 24, 2014, 09:27:00 AM: Well, I accomplished my sleep study last night. It was supposed to be in the sleep lab, where you are monitored and they get scads of data. But my insurance company wouldn't go for that, so I did a "home" study. They supply the gadgetry, which you take home. It provides very limited data. It takes them a while to interpret the data, so I have a follow up in a few weeks to find out the results. If the data warrant it, the insurance company then has to approve the (more expensive) in-lab test. OR they may tell me to just lose some needed weight, and the problem may resolve itself. Which I should do anyway. :)

Speaking of whom....

Capitol Records is issuing a 50th anniversary "Funny Girl"....with remastered LP and CD and a 48-page booklet. It's on Amazon.com for $108.00.

I keep thinking it might be worth it if there was something "more" related to "Funny Girl". But aside from remastered CD and LP (on virgin vinyl), the 48-page book seems to be the only new thing. I think it's packaged in a reproduction of the LP gatefold. But...$108?

I'd have a problem paying more than $50 for such an item.

I enjoyed the sleep study at the hospital/clinic. Such a luxurious room they put me in!

I didn't like the price tag, however.

Did it come with a private bathroom? Were you allowed to read in bed?

Post by: Jane on April 24, 2014, 03:32:09 PM: I have found the Bernese Mountain Dog community to be filled with kind people who fight to improve the breed. Many of those people live in the Portland area and are the ones who spearheaded the fight to stop the dog auction.

The school announced they will not have the auction. I think the more they learned about issues with the breed, and the size of the breed, made them think twice-or maybe the breeder is scared he/she will be found out and renounced the offer of a dog. Either way, I am pleasantly surprised.

Well 2014 is the 60th anniversary of two Irving Berlin grab bag musicals: WHITE CHRISTMAS and THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS and both of them have a lot of funny songs.....

In consonance with that thought, why not do a "Say It With Music" show....a sort of tribute to the aborted MGM musical about Berlin. Perhaps there is someone at MGM who could dig out some list of tunes they were planning for the film.

If memory serves I believe some of these songs are on the 2cd version of BK's Unsung Irving Berlin

Bathroom was in the hall. You had to be unplugged before you could leave the bed. Can't recall if reading was allowed in bed. Mainly they wanted you to fall asleep. I did watch some tv, however.

Post by: MBarnum on April 24, 2014, 04:19:11 PM: Every time I see Percy Helton, all I can think of is that scene in CRASHOUT where he gets his head bashed in with a big rock by one of the escaped prisoners who doesn't want to leave any witnesses behind. It was not graphic, but gruesome all the same.

So no drinking water before bedtime. It is rare that I can fall asleep without reading. Just my luck I would go on a night I was exhausted and sleep, kind of like taking the car to the mechanic and the strange loud noise stops as you pull in.

I was put on a priority list at the dealership and they took care of the problems as quickly as possible, even washing & waxing my car to make up for forcing me to return to do the work. When I originally scheduled the work they foolishly let the time run into lunch and I had to bring it home or wait another couple of hours.

I also used Keith's free birthday scoop coupon at Baskin Robbins.

I left home at 9:00 and returned close to 1:30.

Tonight was a very good performance. We had three people in the audience (two friends of the director and a former board member/actor who was the house manager), but the show was really good...and they laughed!
