Today is the 75th anniversary of the premiere of the MGM film The Wizard of Oz.
Last night, i read the critical notes for the new critical edition of Kiss Me Kate, which has some wonderful scholarship but has one section on a cut number that reveals little knowledge on some of Porter's musical interests or earlier shows. Still, I look forward to the publication of the full score this autumn, I believe.
Hope it all works out the way you want it to, DR Elmore!
TOD - I was director of the Middletown Campus library when expecting Rob and casually mentioned during coffee break that we'd like a Polaroid camera to photograph our new baby. My staff took me to lunch at the Golden Lamb and gave us the funds to purchase the camera - a Polaroid Sun 660. We first used it at the second wedding of Richard's older brother on July 13, 1985, and then many times after Rob was born on September 7. I sent a lot of Polaroids with thank-you notes for newborn gifts. Some of the photos have held up well and others have deteriorated.
Here is one of the first Polaroid photos we took with our new camera. Can you tell why John and Jayne cut their wedding cake earlier than planned?
Good morning, all.
Weird morning so far. Boss is sharing stories of how his chandelier came crashing down into the dining room table at 5:55 this morning before anyone was awake. And only he, the cat and the dog went to investigate. Cat and dog, however, were not going into the room until Mike did.
1 28-oz can Campbell's Pork & Beans
2 T brown sugar
1/4 C molasses
1/4 C catsup
1 t mustard
1 t hotdog relish
Put bacon slices on top, bake at 375o for 1 hour & 15 minutes.

I knew Charles Keating and his death saddened me. He used to hang out in the Drama Book sHop, and occasionally he'd bring actors from whatever sap he was on to meet me. We'd hide in one of the stacks and gossip. He was absolutely charming and completely outrageous. He was a wonderful actor, but the revival with Charles, Alec Baldwin, Joseph Maher, and Zoe Wannamaker miscast Keating and Maher, who should have changed roles.
Both Keating and Joseph Maher were on Another World. Watched them for years.

Along with DR elmore3003, I knew Mr. Keating, too. He was one of five actors from the Royal Shakespeare Company that came to my college campus for a semester-long residency. I was Puck in a scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream that he coached, and I also appeared in a montage theatre evening that they put together using Shakespeare and music. What fun, happy memories!
A lovely, simple performance of "Bring Him Home" by Ramin Karimloo, if you can stand to hear the song yet one more time:

This story is too wack to describe. No synopsis could do it justice.

Yesterday I made a couple of tuna sandwiches. Unfortunately, I didn't have any of the ingredients, so they weren't very filling.
A few days ago I mentioned, in passing, getting an e-mail regarding a close-out on the 2012 Fords. I thought that was very weird, but some people offered suggestions of what it might mean.
Well, this morning I got another e-mail from the same company that pushes it right into the Twilight Zone."Start 2013 in a New Ford Vehicle"
Seriously, don't you think that is really weird??
Ha! That cake had just arrived from Pisa, right?
Hope it all works out the way you want it to, DR Elmore!
All I want is for the NY State government not to drag me off to jail for evasion.

Did it come with a chance to start that time period all over again?
Charles Keating looks very familiar. What role did he play on ANOTHER WORLD?

He was married to Rachael (Victoria Wyndham) after Mac (Douglas Watson) died.
I have this medical deferment from jury duty in September, but i can find nothing on the cockamamie summons - and there are phone numbers, web pages, and a lot of other crap - about what to do with a letter from one's doctor. The web page tells me to go to my country for further information. And there is nothing helpful there. I am very frustrated.
I wrote a cover letter and enclosed it with my jury duty summons and doctor's letter. I'll send it by priority mail this week and hope it gets where it should go.

That's why the cat and dog wouldn't go in there!
Man, I just got a craving for a Tuna salad sandwich. All I need is the tuna and the bread. I think I'll stop at the store on the way home.
Let's not dawdle.

I just made tuna salad, following my Aunt Dorothy's recipe: celery, sweet relish, onion, chopped hardboiled egg, tuna and mayo. I'll be living on that until next Wednesday, when the social security arrives.

It sounds good except for the sweet relish.
Good afternoon. We are under a flood watch. I would take it more seriously if it was raining, however.
On my way home tonight I saw a sign for the law firm from out of town that wanted me to be their local branch about a year ago. Interesting. So they now have an office here. Instead of looking at it as real competition, I think it's just another piece of the puzzle falling into place. Now my clients would have another good firm to go to when I get the new job and close the office :)

It appears that Lauren Bacall has passed away.

Almost everyone I knew who worked with her - a musician on WONDERFUL TOWN, dresser and much of the WOMAN OF THE YEAR cast, publisher of the music for WOMAN OF THE YEAR - had little good to say about her. My friend Charlie who was Bernstein's assistant liked her, but she was a friend of Lenny's. I never encountered her, so I have no opinion except that I thought her performance stank in WOMAN OF THE YEAR.
My friend in the original cast of WOMAN OF THE YEAR hated her until Raquel Welch took over. then he missed her.
Poor Robbie Williams. People think he died.
Limbo can often be a difficult place to be in, at least for me.
It rained!
THIS arrived in today's mail - and looks fantastic! :)

I was a big fan.
As those who've read Album Produced By know, I absolutely loved and was completely smitten with Miss Bacall from my one experience working with her and from our several phone conversations after. I'll recount that story in the notes tonight.

At least it's not a firm you're considering for employment. I'm still pondering if I should return the Packard humanities institute call from February.

I have told this story before. When my Mom and my aunt came to New Jersey to visit me, they wanted to go see a show. So I got us tickets to WOMAN OF THE YEAR. I drove them to the Palace Theatre and then I went to park the car. When I got back to the theater, they were all excited because Miss Bacall had arrived and stopped to chat with them. After the show I went and got the car, and when I got back, apparently Lauren by this time, had come out and stopped to see if my mom and aunt had enjoyed the show. Then she was afraid to leave them alone, so she got the security guard from next door to keep an eye on them until I got back.
At least I got to see her onstage.

for me the ingredients would be tuna, bread, mayo.... you are correct without any of those ingredients the sandwiches would not be very filling

If my timing had been any better, they would have announced that Miss Bacall's understudy would have been going on that night.

What is he / she / it doing?
Amen.Always Good Vibes for DR Cilla~~~~~~
Apparently, yesterday (8/11) there were false reports of Bacall's death and again this morning. Both times, her people officially called the reports a hoax. And then later today, she really died.
Elmore, I hope the ghosts let you have a good night's sleep.
I forgot that I saw Bacall in Noel Coward's WAITING IN THE WINGS with my friends Simon Jones, and Barney Hughes and his wife Helen Stenborg. I really miss Barney and Helen. I think Rosemary Harris was in it, too; lovely lady, but I can't say we're friends. Even though we spent several weeks at Abbey Road recording in 2001, Rosemary's never sure why she knows me, and after I remind her, she looks at me as if she's too polite to say, "No shit?"

LOL< that's what my dad said when I told him I was applying. And what he said when my brother became a magistrate. Keep those good vibes coming. In one week I should know how many applicants and who they are.
