I loved Lanny Meyers' wonderful work, and the CD reminded me what a softy our curmudgeon host can be and why I love him so much as a friend.

Sweet video.

Last night my niece Amanda and her friend Michelle went to see the new War Stars movie at the Shops and Perry Crossing - and everyone was herded out of the theatre just as the end credits began to roll....there had been a bomb threat phoned to the mall.

The shops are open this morning, but it was in the same town as one of the school bomb threats that happened on Thursday.....police think it was the same person or persons.

DR vixmom, thanks for adding my friend to your prayer list. Beyond knowing that he is home, I have no idea how his heath is at this moment.

Home from the hospital is a good start... He may have been hospitalized just to be rehydrated. When I was going through chemo they tried to do that a couple of times and I refused and insisted they rehydrate me at the oncologists office. Which in retrospect was probably a selfish mistake and a lot harder on my family ...

Larry - was that done as a terrible mistake? or was it intentional?

It was intentional on the part of the Man from Philadelphia. I had been led to believe it was all going into storage in Philadelphia when I walked out of the office for the last time. I later got an email from him saying that the office had been emptied and I assumed his crew had come in and removed everything. Today, while Kim Criswell and i were looking for some of the McGlinnventory, we learned that he had let the office management trash everything. If I had kown he was going to pull that, I could have acted better to preserve things.

Now, some things that should have gone to the Library of Congress eventually are irrevocably lost.

Remember that room of scores and books that I thought was going to storage in Philadelphia? Well, it didn't. I learned today that it's now in a landfill. I could have given a ton of those scores away to friends or friends of friends if I'd known.

Noooooooooooo!!!

I lost it again today -- which I'm never proud of -- but I just couldn't handle some of the pressure and the patronizing of the conductor with my accordion solo in act two. I wouldn't be surprised if I took a LONG break from playing shows (that aren't school related) after tomorrow. I'm thinking of maybe just teaching private voice and piano.

Well, all hell has broken out today with the Library of Congress, the Man from Philadelphia, and me over a John McGlinn catastrophe that should have been averted.

What the...?

The Man from Philadelphia will not be happy when my memoirs come out.

But the rest of us will be.
