The Fantasticks was also the very first show I worked in at college, in September of my first semester
I ran the follow spot
Larry - Fascinating story yesterday about negotiating contracts. Excellent advice indeed!
After church. Vixdad my mom and I are going to my brother and SIL house to hear about the cruise/tour they just took of Italy and Greece so I won't be back until tonight
First stop: Half Price Books. Second stop: Sitting in the car in the parking lot waiting out a severe thunderstorm with torrential rain. Third stop: Graeter's (yum!).

VERY JEALOUS of stops one and three! :)
(Not that I haven't enjoyed a few thunderstorms in the car, too.)
I adored the late great Mathilde Pincus, doyenne of music copyists and earth mother to composers and orchestrators Sondheim, Kander, Tunick, and more. What I'm learning from Guys & Dolls is that she played viola, copied well, established valuable rules, and she never once checked her copy to see if the notes she took from the score were harmonically correct.

BK had a question a day or two ago that went something like: What movie did you love as a kid that you hated as an adult?
Last night, we watched MR. BUDWING with James Garner. I had seen it when it first came out in the mid-1960s. I was in my mid-20s then, and I recall being quite moved by the picture.
Over the years, I've read nothing but negative things about the film, so we watched it again last night.
Except for some of the performances, particularly Jean Simmons, I thought it was a turkey. I assume that I liked it back in the 1960s because I was in the right frame of mind at that moment.
I didn't like CASABLANCA the first time I saw it (because I was expecting more of an action kind of movie), but now it's my all-time favorite film.
I also didn't like YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN the first time, only because I thought I was going to a screening of THE TOWERING INFERNO at Fox and I got my dates mixed up.

Glad you like, dear reader ChasSmith. When are you comin' to LA? Come for The Brain on November 7. When we opened the show back on my birthday in 2006 we had a real haineshisway.com get-together here - let's damn well do that again and then we can all go to - Genghis Cohen!
There were dreams about overdue payments and statements. They all made me want to stay in bed and not leave it. Ever.

I've been spending the day trying to figure out this new Mac.
Problems with MSWord, iMovie and a couple of other things.
I miss my old Mac.
Not a happy camper.
:(
I didn't like my new Macbook at first, but one by one I'm sorting out the problems. Apple made a number of changes that in my mind just weren't improvements--and I'm at a loss to see how anyone could think they were. In my view, changes should offer substantial improvement--or don't do them. It's such a hassle to get over the learning curve.
