Well, you've read the notes, the notes were written on the first of August and spoke of that glorious Mancini music, and now it is time for you to post until the August cows come home.

I got to the theatre at 8:00 yesterday for an 8:30 call, but NYMF rules wouldn't let us into the theatre before 9:00.  We were supposed to have a 2-hour music rehearsal, but we had no soud until 10:00, when we discovered the synth programming wasn't working and keyboard 2 had no sounds.  Around 10:30 we actually began running through the music with the second keyboard playing piano; no concertina, no celesta, no harpsichord. During aqll of this we had to deal with lights comiong and goingt and the stage crew setting up the scenery.

Joshie showed up to help me out, and every time I was ready yo explode, he would say, this is why I've only done one NYMF show.  My surprise is that after being around so long, it's as needlessly chaotic as ever.

So, the new surprise was that there needed to be curtain calls,  Josh made copies of all the needed materials and left.  He showed up around 3:00 with them and the band read them down at the end of the dress rehearsal.  I am blessed to have such a fantastic friend.

Michael Gildin spent his lunch break programming the synth and by the time of the cast run-through with the band, be had sounds.  They for refined between the run-through at 1:00 and the dress rehearsal around 3:30, but they were up and running.

By the dress rehearsal, the band was starting to look at the notes and make sense of where they fit into things,  The dress went very smoothly, I had a nice dinner with some of the cast, the set designer, and the composer which was a nice break after all the morning's tsuris.

I think the show's really charming, very funny, with a couple of unexpected touching moments. It's a show for children that I think will amuse adults.  There was one orchestra glitch in the opening performance, but we got past it rather smoothly.

My 2 favorite Robert Redford film is

Three Days of the Condor and The Hot Rock. I can watch them over and over again

All the President's Men. Another film I have seen many times over the years.

others

Barefoot In the Park
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

The Way We Were I've always considered a Streisand film.

The Sting is okay the second time around only to look for the clues for "the Sting" to see if everything is set up correctly. It doesn't, in my opinion, bear multiple viewings like the other films above.

An early TV performance in a Twilight Zone called Nothing In The Dark is rather bland and almost derails the show, but he does have some good moments at the end of the episode.

DR Elmore, that's an amazing series of mishaps or whatever you'd like to call it, with the keyboard and all the other prep for the opening of a show.  Seriously, WTF?  Talk about last minute...   But all's well that ends well, I think I heard some guy say once.

Last night I decided, kind of on the spur of the moment, to throw together a batch of Cincinnati Chili.

Well, "throw together" is an apt description for the result.  It's the simplest thing, of course, but as with anything it's well worth doing at a proper pace and getting everything right and in balance.  It's a good thing this was just for me alone to binge on, not a shared meal or God forbid someone else's introduction to the dish.

Regardless of the care not taken, it hit the basic satisfaction mark required of it.  I can say that much.  Next time will be better!

This was Gold Star, and I have one more can of that to use up, then back to the Skyline which I've already determined is superior.  I like it a little better at the restaurants (though both are thoroughly satisfying there), but I find Skyline does their canned version way better.  For my taste, anyway.

She could also be charming and funny and driven. After getting a divorce, Alex decided to go to culinary school and did quite well, but the first diagnosis was just as she was finishing up.

She leaves behind two children in their teens. I just feel really sorry for her family.

Well Equity has been trying to change things so the actors get paid minimum wage - fat chance - no one could afford that and if they can then NYMF has lost all sense of what it was and its beginnings.  Even back when FJL and I did our shows there it was a joke.  A budget cap that no one paid attention to and productions were spending, even a decade ago, a hundred grand for their NYMF shows - renting storage trucks so they could have bigger and better sets than anyone else.  When NYMF began it began as a level playing field.  It is anything BUT level now - it's all about how much money you have, who has the best sound, lights, sets, band, name cast - it's a bloody joke and not an especially funny one.  And they come like lemmings from all over the country to spend all that money.  It was horrid ten years ago (and it is exactly ten years since I came to NY to begin rehearsals for The Brain), and it's ten times worse now.

This is from the NYMF site:

"All in, your production may cost you anywhere from $25,000 to $75,000, depending on the size of your cast, your production values, and your show’s specific production needs."

That's on this page:  http://www.nymf.org/get-involved/submit-show/producing-nymf

So I guess it has gone away from any low-budget description.

Thanks DR ELMORE, DR FJL, and DR GINNY and all Dear Readers.  I had an examination today.....everything looks fine.  I start tomorrow on my last 3 radiation treatment....called coning which I guess is more concentrated.....

DR FJL -  I would do a reading of TLS, but it would only be me and Precious.....

Here's the NYMF photo taken yesterday..  i'm far left with Josh, the reed player.  I think the band and I should have been included in the photo, but we weren't asked.

Nice picture, but the band should always be included in the pictures!

Yes, they should. As should Larry. I'd love to see the show.

I am well and truly TICKED OFF. I seldom get angry, but I am now.

Here's the background:
A couple months ago the people who lived in one of the other apartments in my building moved out. They'd lived there for 32 YEARS. The manager told me that apart from a few plumbing issues, nothing had been done to the apartment during that time, i.e., no repainting, no new carpeting, no carpet cleaning, nada. Instead of thanking their lucky stars that they got off so cheaply, the building management is upset because two of the stove's burners weren't working and the tenants had never mentioned it.

So now they say that they will inspect all the apartments every 3-4 months. We, the tenants, will be given 48 hours notice, by law. No consideration is being given in case we have something else to do that day or, like me, we are incensed by the violation of our privacy. Included in in the inspection list is "general cleanliness." Now this is from the same people who allowed the young couple next door to have late-night parties a couple times a week for TWO YEARS, while all of us complained repeatedly. And the same management team that neglected the roof. My apartment alone has THREE areas of damaged plaster, one serious, due to roof leaks. Suddenly they're concerned about repairs. WHAT??

I am livid. I will be calling the Powers That Be in LA government to try to learn what my options are. I'm sure they have the right to inspect, but I find this 3-4 month schedule intrusive and excessive. Did Larry's disrespectful property manager suddenly come to LA?  They seem to be channeling her.

I'm trying to think of a negotiating strategy, as I'd rather not have an ugly confrontation. They are so cheap that I'm surprised they are willing to pay the handyman who will be on the inspection team--or do the repairs.

If I were to record the Mancini songs I'd have to get permission - that family, now that Hank is gone, is, as happens too frequently, pretty ridiculous in their control issues.  I have no problems doing it for the Kritzerland show - it's a one-off.  Then I'll be sending the lyrics to them and will give them the option of publishing them.  I don't even care about royalties - I just love the tunes and the lyrics are really good.

Had an intense and really productive work session with Robert and Alby.   His ideas were too unwieldy and unfocused to make a proper show, so we just sang through all the material - we got rid of at least six songs right away, and then because those were gone I finally started to see how to make sense of what we had, which was, at that point, eleven songs.  In fact, right away I figured out the first four songs, order-wise.  He had an idea for a put-together but it was all wonky and awkward, so I completely rearranged it top to bottom in exactly five minutes - I did the same with a couple of other songs, as well.  Then I made three song suggestions, which he loved, and now we have an act - I have to figure out the rest of the show order, then he'll create the patter, which I'll then finesse.

There should be some housing law that forbids this action, DR Jeanne.  It seems to me that, once you sign a lease, the place is your for the duration of the lease and the landlord, so long as your rent is current, is violating your privacy to show up.  They can roam the halls of the building since it's common ground, but I would think the space you rent is your space and none of their business.  First thing, check the legalities.  Second thing, change the locks.

I started listening to an audio version of Leaves of Grass today. The reader couldn't pronounce a few words properly, including ether and mariners. It was rather irritating.

There was also a poem called Eidolons, which he also screwed up. But since I didn't know the word, I didn't hold that one against him.

This fan needed the base snapped together (3 parts) the pole put together (3parts). The back of the made cage put on the motor stem, Then the blade put on the motor stem which then had to be secured with the screw on cover (that's  where I failed ) then the front of the cage secured to the rear part.  The whole thing was without use of tools and would have taken 10 minute tops if not for the secret left hand screw trick

Jeanne that inspection schedule seems excessive and intrusive.  My understanding has always been that a landlord can enter if necessary to effect repairs or if an emergency is suspected... Water leak, fire, electrical issue etc.  but otherwise cannot enter without both notice and permission but my expertise is not in landlord tenant law , not even in NY ... I have no idea what California law allows

Vixmom, I did not know about left-handed screws and I do lots of handyman type stuff. In fact, just a few months ago I took apart my portable fan to clean it. I was hoping the grill just unscrewed and could be washed under the faucet. No such luck, but I don't recall anything out of the ordinary. My usual problem is not having the physical strength to turn something that's on tightly.

In the Northwest we have SHAG Housing, which is Senior Housing Association Group which offers affordable housin for seniors.  My ex-wife worked as an assistant manager for one of their buildings until her health failed, but she continued to live in the building until her passing.  She hated them because of all their rules and restrictions. One rule she hated was that they came and inspected all of the apartments every other month.  And since they gave notice, it was totally legal.

The expected delivery range was between July 27 and August 1, so it was supposed to have arrived today, at the latest.  I ordered it so that it would be something kind of different for our potluck, but it didn't arrive!  I just checked and now the expected delivery date is between August 1 (today) and the 5th.  It's too late for the barbecue potluck, but I won't mind having it all for myself.

Even if I really love it, I probably won't buy it again because it's pretty expensive.  Different sellers have them, but they're mostly around $12 for a 12-ounce bottle. :-\ Here's what I specifically bought:
