Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Kritzerland at Sterling's 68, and now it is time for you to post until the 68 cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: VILLATIC!
-
Congrats on the Krizerland show, BK!
-
And the pictures were very nice!
-
But now, it's time for me to go to sleep.
Have a good day, all!
-
I should be sleeping
-
First in the actual morning!
-
as opposed to the virtual morning, I guess
-
First in the actual morning!
4:44 am wasn't morning?
-
Though I admit it felt like the middle of the night
-
Good Morning to ll

TOD
Way too many songs. One of the great teams. There's enough material for several shows.
-
Sleeping - what a concept. Tell you one thing - done with Little Toni's - I had pasta with butter - that's it. No pizza, no red sauce and still the food does not agree with me. And I've been feeling so good all week. It's really irritating and there are other choices.
-
Thanks George. We got off the tour early. Apparently part of the group only booked to go to the Sagrada Familia. When the bus returned to where it picked us up we got off with the first group. We really don't care for tours-lol
-
The Gaudio church is STILL under construction and is amazing.
-
We stopped for artichoke chips and brought them to our room.
-
Off to roam the streets of Barcelona☺
-
First in the actual morning!
4:44 am wasn't morning?
Oops, you're right!
-
Good morning, all!
-
At 7:50 my phone rang. I have no idea who it was. By the time I got to it, the machine had begun and the caller had hung up.
-
I had the weirdest dream about these strange plants in my grandmother's Appalachian farm. They were god-ugly.

Good news about the lasy night's show!
-
I absolutely love Rodgers & Hart, but there are zillions of collections. I really love the comedy songs and, since I consider Mr Hart the poet laureate of the broken heart, I love his unhappy ones:
BYE AND BYE
THIS FUNNY WORLD
HE WAS TOO GOOD TO ME
EVERYBODY LOVES YOU WHEN YOU SLEEP
SOMEONE SHOULD TELL THEM
-
Their weirdest comedy song, for me, is "I'll Tell The Man In The Street," which is so beautiful and romantic, followed by the man's verse:
I'll tell the Man in the Street
You're crazy with the heat
To think that I am yours, dear.
And when you turn out the light
And go to bed at night,
You'll never hear my snores, dear.
You can't play hide and seek
With my divine physique.
There is no price ytou can pay
To make me go astray;
You'll never get your way with me.
-
More coffee!
-
It seems awfully soon for it to be Monday.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Dead tired, but am gradually absorbing the coffee and waking up nicely. Yesterday afternoon and last night were exhausting and I needed the best sleep I could possibly get. I pretty much got it, so I'm taking it easy for a little while, and then I have a full day of musical work to get done.
-
To be followed by another tomorrow. But this is my last free day before three dress rehearsals and three performances.
-
Kritzerland show sounds great and I look forward to videos.
Any chance of some Jean Louisa Kelly?
-
Well, I need to go to bank and market this morning.
I need to get myself motivated.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Kerry, do you think that Schopenhauer was right?

Kerry, do you think that Schopenhauer was right?

Well, I'm a bit undecided, but he did make some good points! ;)
-
TOD:
I had to Google Rodgers and Hart to come up with ideas. The first link that comes up is for a 2-CD set. I don't recognize the titles of most of the songs. But probably if I heard them, I would know a lot of them. The ones I recognize and like are:
The Lady is a Tramp
Where or When
I Wish I Were in Love Again
On Your Toes
Maybe Guy Haines can sing "On Your Toes" at the August show because he's recorded that one and did it splendidly.
-
TOD:
Too many, as others have said. But a few that come to mind:
Most of "Boys from Syracuse": Falling in Love with Love, Sing for Your Supper, He and She ("She was so kind that she hated vivisection ...")
"Babes in Arms": I Wish I Were in Love Again, title song
"Pal Joey": Our Little Den of Iniquity, Zip
"I Married an Angel": Did You Ever Get Stung, At the Roxy Music Hall, I'll Tell the Man in the Street, Spring Is Here, How to Win Friends and Influence People
"Dearest Enemy" (thanks to Elmore): Where the Hudson River Flows, The Hermits, Here in My Arms, Bye and Bye
-
Kritzerland show sounds great and I look forward to videos.
Any chance of some Jean Louisa Kelly?
Yes, please, on videos.
-
Monday morning greetings! Quiet morning here in SW Ohio, except for the buzz saws in the back yard behind us. Another tree is being trimmed.
-
I'm taking today off from work because my dad is visiting, so I can write a bit about the Kritzerland show.
I confess I wasn't really look forward to it because I just wasn't sure these songs would sound very good without a full band. But Grant Geissman's guitar-playing really added the kick that was needed. The only song where I felt the arrangement was missing something was on "My First, My Last, My Everything". Maybe it was the violins I was missing. Anyway, everything was amazing. And true to the Kritzerland format, there were a few songs I'd never heard before, like "If Only For One Night", "The Cat Song" and "Once Before I Go". Sami's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" was particularly wonderful and I always enjoy Jean Louise Kelly in everything she does. Bruce was also wonderful on all three of his songs. The duet on "Here You Come Again" and the looks they gave each other was very charming. I didn't notice at all that his voice was going - he sounded fine on everything. "Terminal" was always one of our favorites from the Guy Haines CDs, so we were thrilled to hear that live. I do think I noticed the lyric furmer, but he covered so well, I immediately thought it was my imagination. I now look forward to other Kritzerland shows of this type.
-
Thank you, Amy, for the review. Now I'm really hoping for videos.
-
Great show wrap up in the notes. And lovely photos. And thanks to DR AMY for her on the spot report.
Congrats to MR BK & Co.

TOD:
So many....already named....but I will add a couple and add my vote to some:
Number ONE on my Hit Parade: IT NEVER ENTERED MY MIND
ZIP and THAT TERRIFIC RAINBOW and MY FUNNY VALENTINE
-
TOD - Everything I know about Rodgers and Hart, I learned from DR Elmore when I was his rehearsal assistant for a revue here in Middletown. My favorite songs are:
I Could Write a Book
Where or When
To Keep My Love Alive
Everyone Loves You (When You're Asleep)
I'll Take Manhattan

TOD:
So many....already named....but I will add a couple and add my vote to some:
Number ONE on my Hit Parade: IT NEVER ENTERED MY MIND
I love the second verse!
Once you said in your funny lingo
I'd play at bingo day and night
And never get the number right
It never entered my mind.
Once you told me I'd stay up Sunday
To read the Monday morning dirt
And find you're merging with some skirt.
It never entered my mind.
Life is not complete alone
The man who came to dinner lets me eat alone.
I confess it, I didn't guess it
I'd sit around and mope again
And all the while I'd hope again
To see my darling dope again . .
It never entered my mind.

That's probably the same revue I did in 1980....called Rodgers & Hart: A Celebration.

I first heard this song on a Cybill Shepherd recording.

I'm up, I'm up. Finally fell asleep around five-thirty and slept until eleven-thirty so six hours.

Tonight we have another cast meeting for ON GOLDEN POND to discuss the rehearsal schedule and other business.....all but ONE of the actors will be there.
I may then wander over to see how the 1776 auditions are coming along.

Just got the rather sad news that Mystery and Imagination Books is closing - no one supports mom and pop bookstores anymore and they should be ashamed of themselves. It was a wonderful store - you could go there, hang out for hours, meet like-minded folks and attend signings. I did signings for every one of my books there - in fact, I was the first author to ever sign there and there have been hundreds since me. And next year, I will not be signing there because people just do not care enough. Oh, they will - you'll read, "Oh, it's so sad we can't go there anymore" when they never went there in the first place. It's much more fun for people to feel nostalgia for something rather than actually support it. It was like that for vinyl, only guess what - it made a comeback and suddenly there are mom and pop vinyl stores everywhere so people can relive what they had in the first place. I tell you, it turns my stomach.

HORRIBLE news!

And, agree.

Watching "The Long, Hot Summer." It's not a great movie, but, damn, Paul Newman is hotter than the title, and you can't resist him any more than Joanne Woodward can.

It was about ten degrees cooler today than yesterday.

Still mighty warm for June.
