Well, you've read the notes, the notes were festively festive and written in July, and now it is time for you to post until the festively festive cows come home.

I really loved all three of Rorem's symphonies, and I'm now listening to the piano concerto which is great - rather like Robert Ward's, actually, and if you got that one based on my recommendation and liked it, you will absolutely like this.  And all this wonderful music is bargain priced because a lot of it is on Naxos, a budget label.

To continue about "Royal Pains," Christine Ebersole plays a recurring character who in this episode is marrying Hank's father, played by Henry Winkler.  Hank, played by Mark Feuerstein, is the lead character.  Cloris Leachman is the main guest star on this episode.  It turns out that Cloris' character might have a condition that causes hallucinations, which manifest as song-and-dance musical numbers.  Bob Gunton plays Hank's brother's father-in-law.  Several other theater people had cameos during the episode.

Very interested in getting some Ned Rorem on the Big Speakers. I checked my collection and I seem to have only two Rorem LPs, unless there are any pieces included on other albums.  But I will listen to these two, one of which is songs which I look forward to.

I'm a little ashamed at my lack of Ned Rorem knowledge, having come up more through the classical world.

You have been into some especially wonderful stuff these past few days, DR Elmore.

Camelot is magic, and I say that without having closely followed all the various changes made to it over the years.

It actually inspired one of the most magical musical dreams I've had.

Just spent two hours getting L.A. Now and Then's CD on Amazon and CD Baby (only digital for CD Baby - and they get it to all other digital partners like iTunes).  The CD Baby thing took the most time since you have to upload the tracks and I had to convert all of those into WAV files, plus for each track you have to enter writer/publisher info so it takes a lot of time.

I went to a new doctor today, whom I liked very much and as a great understanding of my genetic risks.  The visit summary is already on the computer.  I have to laugh at this comment in my records...

"General:  Alert, oriented, well-groomed woman in no apparent distress."

I had jeans and a t-shirt on the chair and was wearing the very nice poncho I was given.  I suppose that makes me well dressed ;D

Yes, DR Jane.  The cough was kind of what started the problems in Orlando.  He walked to Walgreen's for cough medicine last Friday in 100 degree heat and that's when the double vision started.  Might be unrelated but he's still coughing and he wanted our primary care physician to know about the ER visit, too.  He called today for an appointment tomorrow, but they were able to see him today.

I really enjoyed the first season of ROYAL PAINS. I love the character Boris. I stopped watching when it became about Hank's brother and his fiancé. Waayyy too much of that for my taste. The scenery was wonderful, though. Made me want to move to the Hamptons.

Often when you get your blood pressure taken at the doctor's office they don't wait long enough for you to relax first.  The assistant at the new doctor's office today had me sit for a bit with my feet flat on the floor.  It worked too well, my pressure was 86 over 56.

We went out to get the 3 OTC meds that the doctor recommended for Richard's "allergies" and brought home a pizza for dinner.  Now that my driving duties are complete for today, I'm going to consume a significant amount of wine...

Well, it's time for me to leave work and go home.  So, I'm going home.  I have some TV watching to do, so that'll be done.  And eating!  I have to eat some kind of dinner.  Anyway, I can't do any of that here at work, so I'm leaving.

Be back later. :)

Back from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.  Very interesting production.  It was also great to ketchup with a director friend for the first time in this millennium, and meet a fine music director.

Title: Re: A FESTIVELY FESTIVE JULY
Post by: vixmom on July 01, 2016, 08:51:53 PM
The manager showed up and she was lovely acknowledged that it was their fault they weren't ready. Explained that new cabinet doors had been ordered and when they were to be installed turned out to be the wrong size.  She explained it would be about a week before they were in but to,$100 off the first months rent for the inconvenience
