Well, you've read the notes, the notes brought back the pipe, and now it is time for you to post until the blowing on a pipe cows come home.

bk, very interesting about 'Meadowlark.' Of course, it's not the first nor last time that your arrangements have been "borrowed," large-scale and small. The other large-scale example I can think of is for the complete recording and subsequent Broadway revival of 110 in the Shade.

Good morning, all! I will shortly depart for midtown.  I have a morning at Tams-Witmark, and i hope i am out of there and on my way home by noon.  I am looking forward to seeing friends there.  When I get home, it's back to GENTLEMEN BE SEATED!

It took forever yesterday for the medication dilating my eyes to wear off; I don't think my eyes were focusing until some time after 4pm. I need new glasses, which I cannot afford at the moment, but perhaps the Encores! work on PAINT YOUR WAGON in the next couple of months will pay for a new pair after I've paid my accountant and the IRS and State anything I owe for 2014.

Well, I know what I would LIKE to make a comeback, and that's CDs - maybe even a nice concept CD. As you all know, my car was totaled in October and I had to get a new used car. I ended up with a 2013 Mazda 2, and what I miss the most about my 2009 Nissan Versa is that it had a 5-CD changer in it. But apparently, no one listens to CDs anymore, so they don't make 5-CD changers anymore. So, for the holidays, my ever-lovin' Mark got me an IPod, which plugs into a USB port in my car. We've loaded several CDs (or playlists) onto it, but I tell you, it's not the same. First of all, I have to press a button to choose the "playlist" option every time I use  it. Secondly, it doesn't jump from album to album - it just plays the same one over and over, and I have to press a Next button to get to the next playlist. And thirdly, the nifty feature my new car stereo has that increases or decreases the volume based on the speed of my car doesn't work with the USB port. Sigh...

Bruce, thank you so much for putting "I Know Things Now" into the show!

This explains why the newer version of Keith's car only holds 1 CD vs the 5 he used to have.  He prefers it though as the hard drive holds more.  He has his music on a USB port that works directly with his car and doesn't need an iPad.  He doesn't really use it like you used your CD player.

Tres froid in Manhattan as well, though 21 degrees is not the same as the Midwest cold. My sisters and brothers have wind chills in the minus 30 to minus 40 range.

Speaking of siblings, my sister's second grandchild (my second grand niece) was born today. Here she is (Marlee) being held by her big sister (7 years old) Adara

Oddly, we are just coming out of a cold snap.  During my two weeks in South Carolina, the temps in Oakland were much cooler than they were in SC.

Today we are expecting record-breaking (for this time of year) temps in the low 70s.

MASTERCHEF JR is a show I don't like at all.....first of all they hire kid actors NOT kid chefs....and the kids receive a LOT of behind the scenes help in the preparation and plating of the meals....they do some chopping and stirring, but the real cooking is done by others.....it's the classic "reality" cheat.

Cilla,  I meant to tell you how happy I was that everything turned out all right for Sam ... a bunch of Long Island Lutherans prayed for her quick recovery yesterday and gave thanks for the medical team that saved her

Thanks Vixmom.  She's getting a little stronger every day.  She doesn't go back to the doctor until Thursday, so we'll know more then.

The cold makes me feel invigorated.  Got up early, cleared the driveway and walk before discovering it was -10

I've done about nine pages so far.  I'm logy and all this crap in my throat is playing havoc with my voice.

I'll try to do another two or three pages in a little bit.  Then I may write the notes and schedule them and get to bed by eleven.

The site crashed on me about 20 minutes ago.

But my site came up again, so I was able to finish that post.

Oy.

Good night, all.

Hello, everyone.
Title: Re: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE PIPE?
Post by: Jeanne on January 06, 2015, 09:39:03 PM
I'm up, I'm up.  Actually, I was up for most of the evening - maybe two or three hours of sleep.  Tummy problems.  Don't know if it was something I ate or maybe a touch of the stomach flu, but just could not sleep.

I slept poorly, too. Something hit me just before going to bed last night and I had trouble sleeping. I thought I was OK this morning, aside from lack of sleep, but then around noon something hit me again--this time a stomach thing. My tummy's better now, but my sore throat is back. Oy. But I can deal with the sore throat better than the tummy thing.

I had plans for lunch with my friend Jan. I took something for nausea, then met her at the restaurant. We shared a veggie burger and each had a bowl of soup. That worked well and I felt better after eating.

She came with me to my K-laser appointment. I wanted her to see the treatment, plus this doctor has an extensive background in neurology and Jan has some neurological problems, which her doctors haven't been all that successful at treating. My doctor spent a lot of time discussing her condition with her. She really liked him and said she'll be making an appointment. She's always been so healthy, but has really deteriorated in the last few years. I really hope she can make some improvement.

The plot deals with a milk/dairy company called "Daisy Clover."

Thinking about a shower - took one in the morning, but think another might be nice right about now.  I'm definitely going to Ny-Quil this evening.

There's a running gag through "Agent Carter" where there's a Captain America radio program and the "Betty Carter" on the radio program is helpless, but of course, the "real" Agent Carter isn't.  And several times throughout the episode as she's beating up bad guys, the radio show is playing scenes where the Betty Carter is very stereotypically 1940s helplessly female.

Will no one rid me of this meddlesome Agent Carter, which precludes people from posting?
