Happy birthday, DR Druxy. That was a very nice gift from your son.
Orchestra reading vibes for DR ELMORE.
I envy you all that Cole Porter, ChasSmith.

Just a quick reappearance to say:
Oh My God. This music is magic, and the orchestrations are sublime.
And of course the orchestra is beautiful.
That is all.
Actually I must crawl, carefully, it's pea soup out there today
I slept quite poorly. Perhaps it's the nerves in an uproar. I think today's orchestra reading will go well, but there's always that thought - I've had it as long as I've been working - that by noon, I'll be out and Jonathan Tunick will be called in to replace me.
My son, David, sent me the nicest gift.
It's a photo of me and Sal Mineo at The Playboy Club, taken in 1966. I haven't seen it in almost 40 years; thought it was lost. David found it while going through his late mother's stuff.
I'd post it here, but I think the jpg is too big. You can see it on my FB page.
Great photo, Druxy!
Thanks for posting it, George!
Nice present DR DRUXY!
DR Druxy,

Thank you, George.
That's great. Is that the Playboy Club on Sunset?
The night Sal Mineo was killed, I was at a friend's apartment across the street from his, just a few blocks from there.

Encores! researchers discovered the missing Durante material in a Los Angeles archive, and Berman has also been developing arrangements with an ear to the style of the 1930s, which are being orchestrated by Josh Clayton and Larry Moore.
I had a very nice closing tonight. I want to this young couples beautiful home and wS greeted by their horse.. They claimed it was a Great Dane and a 10 month old puppy at that but when I sat down the thing was taller than me
He was also getting very personal... I finally laughingly said he had to buy me dinner first and the folks finally decided to move him into a different room
My nose won't stop running. :(

I am not as bad but this weather is a drippy nuisance.

I would have protested the removal. I probably would have also gone into puppy training mode ;)

It's very hard to explain legal documents to people with a dogs head the size of Minneapolis in your privates

Dang. I couldn't let that quote go by.
I am getting excited about the New Yorkers!!!
I did not get to spend as much time with our DR ChasSmith as I would have liked, so I hope he had a good time. I basically gave him a pile of music and threw him to his own devices. Moving about today was more of an effort than other days, and I ad lots of people to meet and cozy up to.
Some good thigs happened about other projects, so who knows?
Today was my dance instructor's birthday, so another of her students, Ping, and I took Joy out for a Chinese feast. Excellent meal.

Not to worry, I was fine, and loved every minute of it. It was a great day of wonderful music, and I even got to enjoy walking to the market and back with harpist Susan, a lovely person and wonderful musician.
Has anyone else been wTching giraffe cam?
And now, I'm off to see a play called, Or, (http://www.olympialittletheater.org/). Yes, the comma is part of the title. I want to see it because it's set in the same time as the show that I'm working on (Shakespeare's time) and they share a character, Nell Gwynn, who was a real person. It'll be really interesting to see how this show handles the time and the character. I don't know how historically accurate either show is (and I have no idea what she was really like), but it'll be fun to see this.
Be back later.
Aphra Behn is England's first female professional playwright...and a spy. She's just quit the espionage business to write her first play, and she's on deadline when her former lover blazes in with enemies on his heels. To complicate things, the city's hottest actress, Nell Gwynne, is getting awfully friendly, and, for that matter, so is the king—as in Charles II. Set in Restoration England, this playful farce is a rush of mad-cap antics, gender bending, and rollicking intrigue.
Each day the empty space in my head feels better.
Said harpist Susan Jolles and DR Elmore's adopted son's brother Jeremy Clayton are playing in the Jake Gyllenhaal Sunday in the Park With George which opened this evening, and I vow not to let that one slip through my fingers.
I am so happy that THE NEW YORKERS rehearsal was a success!

They are holding a daily lottery for reduced price front row seats for SUNDAY IN THE PARK during previews. Who wouldn't want to see Jake Gyllenhaal from the front row?

Well, Or, was a fun show. It has a totally different take on the character of Nell, who is bisexual, as is the lead character, Aphra Behn. Here's a brief synopsis that I found online:QuoteAphra Behn is England's first female professional playwright...and a spy. She's just quit the espionage business to write her first play, and she's on deadline when her former lover blazes in with enemies on his heels. To complicate things, the city's hottest actress, Nell Gwynne, is getting awfully friendly, and, for that matter, so is the king—as in Charles II.

It has some very farcical moments that I think weren't explored in this production as much as they could've been. The lead actress is a good actress, but she didn't get as frenetic as I think the script would allow (or expect) her to get. The two other actors were quite exuberant in their performances. Overall, a good show and a fun night.
Sorry, George, I missed that on the page turn.
