Well, you've read the notes, the notes told you who the winner was and is, and now it is time for you to post until the winning cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PERSIFLAGE!
-
And now - Dino at the piano.
-
George, I am glad you had a good evening.
-
I of course should be sleeping.
-
Congratulations, BK, on the MAC Award! It is so well-deserved!
-
It's only 28 degrees in the nation's capital!
-
Congrats BK on the MAC award.
-
And exciting that you found out about it from Julie!
-
Good morning to all
-
Saturday morning greetings! Another busy day, but at home. Mary Linda and I are providing the venue for Lauren's sisters to throw her a baby shower tomorrow. I have some cleaning and rearranging to do, some food prep, and a gift to wrap.
-
Congratulations to BK on the MAC award!

I have been part of an online discussion about OLIVER! and was surprised to see BK's friend Barry Pearl (mentioned in today's note) was part of the original Broadway cast as a workhouse boy and part of Fagin's gang.
And he was also in the "infamous" A Teaspoon Every Four Hours. The play had the distinction of the longest preview period (97 performances) before opening and closing with 1 performance in 1969.
It took Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark, 41 years later to break the record with 182 preview performances.
He also could have been on the Ed Sullivan Show as part of cast doing I Do Anything the same night The Beatles made their debut.
-
Good morning, all.
Following a slight sleep-in, which felt wonderful.
Coffee!
-
Congratulations once again to BK on an incredibly well deserved award!
I remember Producer Julie. She was in the first group of people I met from here in the flesh on a lovely evening at Joe Allen in June 2012. Of course she had been E&T then, and she is E&T now. Another I met that evening was a gal named Sandy Bainum.

TOD:
I'm sure there were other things, but perhaps the best out-of-the-blue surprise was when I got a phone call that Saban wanted to buy/produce my screenplay of CHEYENNE WARRIOR. (Actually, they were in partnership with Roger Corman on the project, but I didn't know that then.)
I had pitched Saban the script 6-8 months earlier, but had not heard a word since, so I figured there was no interest.
Of all my films, CHEYENNE WARRIOR is the one of which I am most proud. Not only did it lead to a long term writing/directing relationship with Corman, but over 30 years since its release, the movie still has a strong following.
-
Congrats to BK!
-
Good morning, all! I awoke around 1:15am from a terrifying dream about a ghost named "Miss Raway." I remember nothing beyond that at this point, but Miss Raway - or maybe Rahway - was frightening. In my last dream this morning, I was rehearsing a series of one-act musicals I'd actually written in grad school with a cast I can't identify on a campus that appeared to be outin the country, but it wasn't Miami U.
We need more members. There was a full house when I came onboard in 2004, and I miss a lot of them.
-
I really wish whatever I was dreaming during the night would come into focus. It's trying to. Every few minutes I get the tiniest flash of...something. It just seems like there was stuff happening, or people there, or something worth remembering and savoring for a few minutes.
-
My biggest surprise happened in 1985, when Stephen Sondheim won the Pulitzer Prize. After Merrily We Roll Along failed, he told me at a New York City Gay Men's Chorus rehearsal, which he attended to hear my arrangement of "Our Time," that he was never going to write another musical and that he was going to work on games for Parker Brothers. He liked my choral arrangement, recommended it to his publisher, and so I had my first published arrangement. Then. mirabile dictu!, his office manager Patricia told me he was writing a show with James Lapine.
When my arrangement was published, Patricia and i were chatting about a thank you gesture I could make, and i asked about the Pulitzer. He had never been nominated, and I still think he should have won for Follies, so I thought, I could nominate Sunday In The Park With George, by George! I called the NYPL Music Division and asked if they knew who handled the Pulitzers, learned it was the Columbia School of Journalism, called them for further info, and called Patricia back. I needed bios of Steve and James Lapine, a recording, and a full vocal score and libretto, and I would make the nomination and pay the entrance fee.
I wanted to surprise him, but Patricia was worried about his reaction if I did this behind his back. and he learned about it from someone else, like Mathilde Pincus, who would have to print a vocal score, or perhaps someone who had heard about the nomination. So, I called Steve and told him my idea.
His reaction, right off the bat, was "We'll never win." My response was, perhaps, but you never know, and I think it's about time you were nominated. He reluctantly agreed, promised full cooperation, and around August or September 1984, I went over to his home with the Pulitzer applications and chatted with Steve while Patricia filled out the forms. I walked out with the score, recording, libretto, photos and bios of Steve and Jim, and the application, walked down to 42nd Street, picked up the 104 bus and rode to Columbia. I paid the entry fee and forgot about it.
One very early Wednesday morning in May, 1985, my dad called me: I needed to fly home immediately because my mother was having a quadruple bypass the next morning, and he wanted me there. I spent the rest of the morning getting money together, booking a flight, clearing my calendar, and my Chinese fortune cookie at lunch said "You will hear great news today." When I got home, there was a call from Patricia that the Pulitzers were going to be announced in the afternoon, the office phone had been ringing off the hook, and she was thinking about me. I told her about my mother, and that I had a few more errands to accomplish before I left for LaGuardia around 4:00.
I got home around 3:00 to a phone message from Patricia screaming "We won!" We won!" I called her, and she said, "Where are you? Steve wants to talk to you." He called me from the theatre, and Iflew home to my mother's surgery.
-
Many congratulations to MR BK on his award-winning song.

Good news about DR GEORGE's opening night!
-
Several months later, I got a phone call from a strange reporter from my hometown newspaper. His name was John Griffin, and he wanted to know all about the Pulitzer. It seems that two friends of mine in my hometown had contacted the newspaper with the information. I still believe that it was done less on my behalf and more on promoting themselves. I had no intentions of saying anything; I felt that was Steve's business if he wanted to say anything, not mine.
I reluctantly spoke to John, told him I was very reluctant to say anything, told him the events, and fretted about it. I lost two friends who were angry that I was upset, and about a day after the phone interview, I called his editor and begged him to kill the story. I had worked for the newspaper as a critic between 1973 and 1977 or so, and the editor was a person I liked very much. Thirty years later, our DR JohnG is still a friend, one of the best, and I believe this is the fullest account of the 1985 Pulitzer Prize I've ever made. After 30 years, I'm still quite proud of my accomplishment.
-
What a great story, DR elmore!!
-
Verily. Thank you for the account, sir.

TOD - Richard's proposal of marriage was a huge surprise to me. Yes, we'd known each other for almost 7 years and had been dating seriously for a couple of years, but we had not talked directly about marriage. This particular Friday evening, after a long work week early in the 1980-81 school year, we were having a casual beef stew dinner that I'd prepared in my apartment. I even remember that I was wearing a fleece top onto which I'd spattered gravy - not glamorous at all. In the course of the conversation he said, "Why don't we get married?" I was stunned, said I thought that was a great idea, and three and a half months later, we did!
He still teases me that I never said YES and I remind him that he didn't ask me a yes-or-no question.

Was it really 1974? I remember your phone call: Do you know Richard Palmer?
-
Yes, DR Elmore, that was at the beginning of our first round of dating. That only lasted about a year, but the spark was rekindled in 1978 and the rest is history.
-
DR Jane I am jealous that you can dress in shorts when we still have snow here!
-
Congratulations, Bruce!
-
Wonderful story DR ELMORE thanks for sharing.....and DR JOHN G has a featured involvement as well!
-
Page Two!!

I am thinking that my TOD may be this movie thing......I shall know more later.
Otherwise....probably my first play being produced. I just rewrote something that I had written a year or so before.....and dropped it in the mail to a local theatre that was have a competition.
Two months later, I got a message to call that theatre.....my play had won a slot in the summer schedule.....that was in May of 1985.....nearly thirty years ago.....and I have had a wonderful time working at that theatre now and then in various capacities and have made some wonderful friends along the way.
The two theatres that I call home - Putnam County Playhouse and Phoenix Theatre in Indy (where I won the competition) are very different places to work - but are a very important part of my life.
-
I am a bit down about the political doings here in Indiana which have been all over the news.....I don't discuss politics here or on BookFace.....but it is a most depressing development.

Good morning, all.

The story wasn't killed, Elmore. I just didn't write about the Pulitzer. I did write about a little piece about hometown boy in the big city, as I recall.
-
I just got the new recording of Offenbach's opera-comique FANTASIO, and my young baritone friend Gavan Ring, who's been too busy with his opera career to record for me on EILEEN, DEAREST ENEMY, or ROBERTA, has a nice role on it. I am very happy for him. He's got a wonderful voice.
-
And yet I love that story and the friendship that grew out of it.
I can't say that I've stayed in touch with too many people I've interviewed. And I've interviewed thousands.
But I treasure my long-time friendship with you, Larry, and with my friend Carol, both of which started over interviews.
-
TOD:
Getting an email from a publisher out of the blue asking me to co-write a book with my business partner. And maybe then getting asked to write another book for them.
-
Started my taxes today. I could have sworn I put all of my receipts and tax forms together in one spot. I'm missing two. Ugh.

I killed the reason for your original phone call and all of the info on the Pulitzer.
Like Piaf, I regret nothing. :)
-
I'm up, I'm up - only six hours of sleep but they were good hours. And such wonderful postings today.
-
Sandy called at nine - she's over the moon about it.
-
I have to go to Fed Ex and pick up some pockets to hold the labels. I've got seven cartons to go now.

And, like Frank Sinatra, I've had a few, but then again too few to mention.
-
Miss Otis regrets she cannot dine tonight.
-
Awaiting the arrival of the musical director.
-
I've been home waiting on a call from orchestrator Steve Margoshes about the Duck Dynasty finale. If he doesn't call today, it will be tomorrow, since we have to finish it by Tuesday evening.
I hate waiting around on indefinites.
-
Congrats to BK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I need a nap.
I'm holding off on Fed Ex until I'm certain Steve isn't calling.
-
I am waiting for tomorrow.
-
It IS tomorrow. Name the musical that's from.
-
Had a great and easy work session and next up is the meeting in Burbank.
-
Then I sup at five way the HELL out in Oak Park and then I see A Chorus Line. It will be fun to see Sami and the other kids, but knowing the director of the show, I can only say it cannot possibly be good.
-
Still on Page 2?
-
Jeeee-zuss!
-
This shuld get us to Page 3.
-
!!! 3 !!!
-
I've done my bit.
-
Good afternoon. I took off early this morning for a quick hike, only to find out that the park is closed until 11 a.m. for a bike race.
Now, why in the world would they close off a HUGE city park on a Saturday, only to open it for a race when it is expected to be 96 degrees?
-
I found another trail and hiked -- it's one I hadn't done before.

-
DR Jane I am jealous that you can dress in shorts when we still have snow here!
I'm not in shorts today though it is still warming up. We did errands this morning and I hobbled around. It is soooo beautiful out and I want to go for a proper walk. I'll probably be stupid and go about the same distance I did yesterday.
-
I am somewhat improved as I can walk around the house more comfortably, without shoes on.
-

At least you had a new adventure. Will you return to this trail?
-
DR ChasSmith, I hope you have fun seeing ARSENIC AND OLD LACE tonight. Aunt Martha was my first major stage role, when I was a junior in high school. Looking forward to your report!
-
George, I am glad you had a good evening.
Thanks, Jane! It was a good night. :D
-
Again, Congrats on the MAC win, BK!!
-
I am going to watch a DVD called WHITE FROG with B.D, Wong/ It's only been sitting here from Netflix for maybe six weeks. I spent some of my afternoon redoing book shelves. I need an good inventory. I keep purchasing duplicates. Damn!
-
Good news about DR GEORGE's opening night!
Thanks, Jrand!
-

I've had a movie from Netflix for about a month and a half and I haven't watched it yet...I actually don't even remember what it is. ::)
-
After I DO watch it, I'm going to cancel Netflix, even the streaming. I just don't watch any of it. I have too many other options for movie/TV watching to pay for something (and have been paying for a LONG time) that I don't use. :P
-
What a great story, DR elmore!!
I agree! I thought that I would have to wait for your memoirs before ever I heard the story.
;)
-
It IS tomorrow. Name the musical that's from.
Singing in the Rain?
-
Trying to decide whether to watch THE IMMIGRANT or INTO THE WOODS tonight.
Decisions...decisions...
:-\ :-\ :-\
-
I do not know what musical that is from.....I don't think it's Singin' In the Rain.....
But I could be wrong.
-
Well, I'm off to my sister's house for family time, then I'm off to the theater.
Have a good rest of the day, all!
-
Back from a really interesting and good meeting - whether it results in anything is anyone's guess, so we shall just see what we shall just see.
-
Well, that just took an eternity to post.
-
Test.
-
I spent some of my afternoon redoing book shelves. I need an good inventory. I keep purchasing duplicates. Damn!
Do you have a smartphone? If so you can use it to see what you own before purchasing it. Goodreads has made it easier for me to see what I have read before purchasing a book.
-

Then you really should watch the darn movie so you can stop paying for Netflix ;)
-
What a great story, DR elmore!!
I agree! I thought that I would have to wait for your memoirs before ever I heard the story.
;)
Me too.
-
I have absolutely nothing to report.
-
But that has never stopped me from posting before.
-
;D
-
DR elmore3003 - thanks for your account of your story today. Most interesting.
-
It IS tomorrow. Name the musical that's from.
It's one of the (if not the) final lines from the book of Goldman and Sondheim's Follies. In the original version, which is never done anymore.
-
Sure wish DR elmore3003 would hurry up with those memoirs.
-
Keith found a cabinet I missed today and then I found a door I had missed. I hope that is it because tomorrow I need to begin the regular cleaning so our home is spotless for the inspector on Tuesday. I'm sure the inspector doesn't care how clean the house it but the buyers will be with him.
I suppose it could be a woman inspector but they are usually men.
-
I hit my bad toe with the mop. Ten toes and that is the one I get ;D
-
Hmmm. No posts for a while.
-
I guess I could start reciting "Green Eggs and Ham."
-
Do you like Green Eggs and Ham? Do you like them Sam I am?
-
I did my taxes today. I was pleasantly surprised at the results, so I'm letting them sit over night and will review them again tomorrow. Then I'll electronically file and pay and be done with them until it's time to pay quarterly estimates
-
Other than that I've been relaxing today. It was nice to have the window open and hang out with the cats
-
I have more work to do for the office and the laundry and some things around the house tomorrow. It is Palm Sunday, but I don't really have a church I go to here. I may watch a service on TV
-
It's going to be 63 here tomorrow, but winds up to 50 mph.
-
Just another spring day in Iowa
-
Singdaw.....are you there? Do you like them in a box, do you like them with a fox? Do you like green eggs and ham, do you like them Sam I am?
-
my DN Samantha used to love that story when she was young
-
Wow, only 12 more to page 5
-
I could pretend I'm on the radio again, doing the fundraiser
-
But who likes to listen to that!
-
Our public radio station is independent, so they get programs from different places and have their own. The fundraiser is actually pretty fun because they get locals to go in and do roundtables. It can be quite amusing
-
Today I practiced my flute for a while. I'm considering virtual flute classes by James Galway. It looks pretty cool, they are video classes with downloadable exercises etc. It's very reasonably priced. After Apr 11th, band will be done for the season and I"m not in flute choir anymore, so it would be a good time to do it.
-
I watched some of his master classes on Youtube and they looked both informative and fun. So....I'm thinking it would be fun to try and it would help me with my technique. There was no flute teacher anywhere near my home town, so I ended up being self taught until I got to college. It was just to daunting to learn everything all over when I was 18, now it sounds like fun
-
I'm still recovering from my sickness. Today was a good day. Lots of fresh air really helped
-
I woke up in the night and all three cats were on my bed with Callie by my head purring away. That has only happened one other time, when I was really sick. I'm wondering if I was snoring funny
-
Callie has gone from the cat who always lived upstairs to my best buddy. She follows me around and sits on the desk or sleeps in her bed right by me. She still goes to her room at night and sits where she can look out over the valley, but I don't blame her, that's the best view in the house
-
So....I may as well push on
-
We're sooooo close
-
Page 5!!!!!
-
Congrats again BK.
-
Nice story Elmore!!
-
Glad that you are finally starting to feel better, DR Cillaliz.
-
Being sick is the pits.
-
I have church and a rehearsal tomorrow, so I had best get to bed.
-
Was up at dawn to find that it was once again snowing
-
Popped up to church to organize the washup kit assembly
-
It's been snowing lightly off and on all day. No accumulation, except for a dusting on colder surfaces. Such as, oh, you know...
My driveway.
-
And I am back from ARSENIC, in which the OLD LACE was the best part. The aunts were really fine, a couple of the other characters were really fine, and nothing much else stood out. It was community theater with a capital C.
-
The Girl Scouts made over 500 sandwiches and the preschool colored nearly 400 hard boiled eggs,a local pharmacy donated chocolate and candy canes my coworkers daughter who is. Wendy's manager donated two bags of salt and pepper
-
We ended up making 176 kits each with 3 sandwiches 2 eggs a clementine 4 candy canes and some chocolate
-
Any cookies with those Girl Scouts, vixmom?
-
They were matched to our 176 washup kits containing toothpaste ,toothbrush (with case) soap ,washcloth ,shampoo ,comb, deodorant,socks and a hat
-
Tomorrow we go to a soup kitchen in downtown Manhattan to distribute the bags
-
Vixdad showed up to assist and after we were done we went to a restaurant for lunch
-
Vixdad had the steak sandwich and I had the turkey dinner sandwich
-
It was fresh sliced breast meat turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce on a soft sandwich hero served with sweet potato fries with a maple dipping sauce
-
It was amazing
-
Although you wouldn't know it to look at me, I usually box half my meals to take home
-
I stir every single bite if that sandwich and I scrapped the dip dish clean with those fries
-
Any cookies with those Girl Scouts, vixmom?
Oh that reminds me! I received a text message that my order is being delivered to church tomorrow
-
Mint of course. My favorite
-
When we got home we had a nice pot of tea and I had an unexpected nap
-
DR Jane I am jealous that you can dress in shorts when we still have snow here!
I'm not in shorts today though it is still warming up. We did errands this morning and I hobbled around. It is soooo beautiful out and I want to go for a proper walk. I'll probably be stupid and go about the same distance I did yesterday.
I got to wear shorts today, too. First time this year. Felt really, really good.
-
Then the Vixter awoke me to attend the high school's production of Little Shop of Horrors
-
Vixdad had the steak sandwich and I had the turkey dinner sandwich
"LIKE!" :)
-
Mint of course. My favorite
"LIKE!" :)
-
It was high school theatre but quite enjoyable. Some very good voices and some fine acting

Great minds.
-
What I forgot to mention earlier with regard to Elmore's story is that a few years after meeting him, I became friends with the Patricia that he wrote about. I met her through my friend Carol, though I don't think that I knew until more recently that they knew each other.
-
Six hours of dancing today. I'm tired.
-
Starting to watch Pride, which is starting out really good.
-
Now I want to have another one of those sandwiches
pass one this way, please.
-
Now I want to have another one of those sandwiches
pass one this way, please.
Oh sure, flaunt ya short wearing weather and then you want one of my snowy day sandwiches
-
;)
-
Now that I have caught up I see what all the talk about Elmore's story was all about
-
That was a wonderful story and it just increases my appreciation that you tolerate the likes of talentless old me hanging around
-
Come to Long Island to judge the next chili contest and I'll take you for a turkey dinner sandwich, John. You don't even have to like my chili
-
;)
I do want a sammich, yes, ma'am. :)
-
Come to Long Island to judge the next chili contest and I'll take you for a turkey dinner sandwich, John. You don't even have to like my chili
I would love to.
-
Well it it's tomorrow and I have a busy Palm Sunday ahead of me
-
Good night!
-
Back from A Chorus Line - I'll ruminate in the notes - it was pretty bad, but it shouldn't have been - the kids gave it their all, but were let down by everyone from the choreographer to the director. It is their responsibility to make these things a life-altering experience, to TEACH - if you can't give as much as your students do, you shouldn't be doing the show nor should you be in the position you're in.
-
why am i up so early?
