Break a leg vibes for TCB & co

TCB if you travel in your car with just one other person can you take both your scooter and your wheelchair?

Good morning, all!

Today we'll finish laying down the tracks and do all the mandolin and banjo overdubs.
-
I slept over 9 hours last night, but I look forward to the weekend, when I can sleep as long as I like.
-
I am happy to see that Richard Sherman is getting back to fine fettle.
-
DR vixmom, thanks for today's vibes!
-
DR Ginny, my mind is shot. Are you and Richard heading back today or tomorrow?
-
DR TCB, I hope this trip will be a good event and not an ordeal for you. I also hope you win the competition.
-
Good morning. What strange D.C. goings-on!
-
TCB - wishing you a great show tonight!
-
Tuesday morning greetings!
DR Ginny, my mind is shot. Are you and Richard heading back today or tomorrow?
DR Elmore, we're here until tomorrow. I picked a 7:10pm flight out, thinking we'd see a matinee. But as I've analyzed the 2pm start time, the length of the shows, and getting to the airport in evening traffic, we've pretty much decided to see a noonish movie instead. Tonight is COME FROM AWAY.

Quick rehab-be-gone vibes for Richard Sherman!

For me today, a LITTLE MERMAID rehearsal and the first half of sitzprobing for some of the singers. The other two keyboardists will not be joining until tech week, but they need all of the lovely sounds from Keyboard 1 today, and that's me.
-
Break a leg, TCB! I am so excited for you!

I lost Joshie yesterday.

I lost Joshie yesterday.
What happened?

He was 15 and had gotten very skinny. The vet diagnosed hyperthyroidism and started treatment. He went downhill very quickly.

I have never heard of a cafe in a library. But here at Chapters bookstores there is a Starbucks on the upstairs level. It's sectioned off beside the magazines.
-
Vibes for DR Elmore and DR TCB!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
I am so sorry to hear that, DR Laura.
-
Another friend - in San Antonio, in fact - had to say goodbye to a beloved dog yesterday. She was a rescue dog who had survived many misfortunes beyond all odds, but it was time for her to go.
A sad week for this.
-
Good afternoon to all

Laura, I'm so sorry. That's pretty much what happened to my cat, Ebonie. :(
-
It's a cold-ish Tuesday in the office.
My space heater died on Friday.
Drat!

One for the money...

Three to make ready...

Piano man has come and gone. Making some Wacky Noodles now - trying to decide between bow tie pasta and wide egg noodle pasta. Hmmm.
-
Wide egg noodle pasta sounds yummy.
-
TCB if you travel in your car with just one other person can you take both your scooter and your wheelchair?
I intended to ask the same question, just before I fell asleep.
-

It sounds like what happened years ago with our 17 year old cat named My Sin. I had hoped with more accurate medicine today Joshie would improve. I am very, very sorry :'(

The Barnes and Noble stores have Starbucks in them.

Hope the session is going well for Elmore.
-
First day back has been a day of extinguishing fires. Not in the way Gulliver does in Lilliput.
-
Spellcheck like Lilliputian, but it doesn't know Lilliput.
-
JB made it home earlier and I had to him for a long day as I am ushering for Alvin Ailey tonight.
-
Amy, another greed song from a musical: It's All About the Green from The Wedding Singer.
-
Hope the session is going well for Elmore.
I'll DITTO that!

In honor of beloved DC Joshie.

Ginny, I hope you enjoy Come From Away tonight.
Thanks, DR John G! We're wringing ourselves out at the hotel after a rainy visit to the Upper West Side. Went to an 11am showing of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in 3D and then walked 14 blocks up Broadway, in the rain, for lunch at Artie's. It was so worth it! Then we walked past DR Elmore's building to Columbus Ave. to catch the bus back to Midtown.
-
DR Laura, I'm so sorry to hear about Joshie...
-
What is the name of the library at 102 and 5th Av......I thought it was Library of City of New York.....but googling does not bring up anything like that.....maybe I dreamed it.
-
DR JRand, the Museum of the City of New York is at Fifth Avenue around 102nd.
-
He was 15 and had gotten very skinny. The vet diagnosed hyperthyroidism and started treatment. He went downhill very quickly.
DR Laura, I am so sorry. I know how much you loved him.
-
It was a long day. I got a bit pissed off at our producer and engineer today. The engineer keeps making comments about the score not being Appalachian. I think he thought he was recording a bluegrass album.
That's Problem No. 1.
-
The recording producer, who may never have done a theatre recording before and not the show producer, has too much concern about the band - there's been no banjo for the last five songs and I don't want the recording to sound unbalanced - although I keep saying it's about the songs and the actors.
That's Problem No. 2.
-
Then, there's a cadence at one spot in the "West Virginia Mining Disaster" that is much more Britten-Weill than Grand Ol' Opry. The first time the band played it today, th producer turned to me and asked, are they plating wrong notes? I thought, if you asked Steve Sondheim that, there'd be another producer sitting there right after tyhe question.
That was Problem No. 3. And this has been my last two days.
-
My copy of A BOY NAMED CHARLIE BROWN has arrived.
-
On t'other hand, we have an amazing group of musicians Kevin Ramessar and Freddy Hall on guitars, Zev Katz on bass, Nathan Kucl on accordion, and Justin Smith on violin. Kevin came in first and overdubbed mandolin and banjo on everything we laid down yesterday. They made magic, and I do look forward to tomorrow's vocal rehearsal.
-
DR Elmore, I think we picked the better day to visit...
-
DR Elmore, I think we picked the better day to visit...
That was going on yesterday as well.
-
That's it DR GINNY.....MUSEUM not LIBERRY.....my phraseology was way off.
-
Continued recording vibes to DR ELMORE......didn't Carol Channing say that producers were just electricians anyway?

Me too!

Home, and dead tired from a long afternoon at the high school. But we got through a lot of FISH OUT OF WATER, and that's good.
The bad things were that they had set up a completely wrong keyboard and amp instead of the brand new Kurzweils, etc. I opted to make do, and all will be rectified next time. And then I, Genius, managed to tear a hole in my thumb opening a door. Don't ask. Fortunately, it's not the side of the thumb you tinkle the ivories with.
-
Posting it with bourbon.
-
Well, it's time for me to leave and go to the theater. We have a special performance tonight, so it should be good.
Until later.
-
Thank you, everyone. It is very quiet around here.
-

Ouch! Vibes it heals quickly!
-
Laura I was deeply sorry to hear about Joshie. I lost my Bandit at 15 years the same way, it's been 16 years and I still expect to see him
-
Thumb healing vibes for Chas
-
Thank you, everyone. It is very quiet around here.

COME FROM AWAY is quite a show - I laughed, I cried, I clapped. The cast members double, triple, and more in multiple roles and it's so subtle Richard didn't catch some of it.
DR Vixmom, I forgot to give you the discount coupon on Saturday. I'll mail it to you.

Thank you!,
I realized it at dinner but I didn't want to bother you. I do want to see it though every ne who sea it raves about it
-
Sorry to hear about Joshie.
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
I wonder how Second Samuel is going. Wish I could see it

A man after my own tastes. I like that.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, too. Outside of The New Yorkers, it was the best show I saw in New York.
-
I don't know that it had a great score (unlike The New Yorkers), but the storytelling was just so good. And I admit I cried, too.
-
Got to see most of Alvin Ailey Dance tonight. Wow.
They were astonishing.
-
I first saw Revelations 32 years ago when I lived in Middletown and the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company staged it.
But tonight was something else. These dancers were so in control of their bodies that the images were just awe-inspiring.
-
And the sold-out crowd was rapt. The best behaved crowd I can remember, and we had some odd rules for folks tonight.
Nobody could enter the theater after a dance started. If they weren't in their seats when the dance started, they had to take the nearest seat to them until an intermission (there were two). Nothing to distract the dancers.
-
The opening piece, The Winter in Lisbon, was a joyous tribute to Dizzy Gillespie and was so crazy good that I could have watched it all evening. There were some ballroom-style steps to the music -- mambo, swing, salsa -- that I enjoyed.
-
I wonder how Second Samuel is going. Wish I could see it
I wish I were with you at the theater.
-
Starting to watch the Theatre du Chatalet's production of Einstein on the Beach. I've never seen this and as I watch it, I realize I don't really need to see it, but it sounds so good. And I have loved this score ever since I found a recording at the Middletown Public Library.
-
I'm not thrilled with everything Glass has written, but I just find this music hypnotic and it sounds great in surround.
-
Let's move on.
-
Five!
-
Page five? Really?
-
Hello, 1 guest!
-
What's your favorite music to wake up to?
-
Need to get to bed. I have a blood test in the morning.
-
And I haven't studied for it.
-
No groans, please.
-
Good night, all.
-
No groans, please.
;D
-
Thank you, John G.
I also came up with "A Little Brains, A Little Talent" from Damn Yankees, since I'm also looking for songs about con artists. I went looking at that show thinking that maybe the character of Satan sings a song I could use, but it doesn't look like Satan sings anything at all in that show.
-
Well, it's time for me to leave and go to the theater. We have a special performance tonight, so it should be good.
Until later.
We had a good show tonight. The house was about half filled with members of the Shelton, Washington Lions, and they really enjoyed it. A few lines were dropped...well, maybe more than a few, but nothing that was a major plot point.
-

So do I!

I've only heard it a couple of times and I can appreciate it, but I can't say that I "like" it. For some reason however, I love Satyagraha. I got the vinyl recording (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0019LT4ZG/) at my college's music library sale back when I was in college. I also got Akhnaten (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000026GR/) at the same record sale and enjoy that more than Einstein on the Beach, too.
