Recently discussion how bad the CD transfer of Family Affair was because it was taken from vinyl and not the master tapes. Some people said they would buy a new one. There were a couple of previous releases of Follies until you did yours.

Therefore if you did a new release of Family Affair mastered from the original tapes do you think it would be successful?

Have a lovely day everyone.  I think I'm just going to take the day off.  Maybe I'm trying to hard.  I took it out on David the other night ---I told him he needed to move on because I was upset about not getting a job and we argued all night (texting) until about midnight, my time.  He called over 5 times but I wouldn't pick the phone up.  Bless the man, he could have said that's it but he hung in there with me, didn't yell even though he could have (to be honest, he had the right) and spoke gently to me when I finely did pick up the phone last night. I'm thinking if he is a cat fish, then so be it.   But I don't think he would stick around if he was, there are to many others out there that would be easier to pick on and they have a job.  He can't be after money--I don't have any and he knows it.  I went out with friends last night and he texted, "That's good, Honey but let me know when you get home, I want to know that your safe."  In the middle of yet another hurricane in my life,  I think I may have found myself a fella.  :)

No, which is why I haven't done it.  Follies is Follies.  A Family Affair is a flop musical that is a curio.  While DRG was lazy and rather inept in the way they released it (if I found where the tapes are, they could have - it didn't take all that much time or detective work), they simply got every sale there was and didn't care about quality.  We'd be lucky to sell 100 of them.

Wednesday afternoon greetings.  Our day has been filled with family, friends, tears, laughter, and hugs as we celebrated my mother's long life.  Rev. Amy performed a service that was perfect and it was so good to sing 3 favorite hymns with all those Palmers.  My niece, nephew, and cousin assumed responsibility for meeting the caterer here at the house while we lingered a bit at church.  By the time we got here, our guests had beverages and were getting acquainted and visiting.  Two vehicles left from here for Michigan, one for Illinois, and one for Georgia.  Mary Linda did most of the clean-up and the last guest left about 4:30.

I am pretty tired, but also very pleased.

She's being cremated, DR Elmore, and her ashes will be interred with my father's in Livonia, Michigan.  We'll do that in October, when Richard and I will be there for part of the University of Michigan bicentennial.  He will perform a brief committal service for us.

I've had a real Mercury Retrograde kind of day. Over the weekend our dryer was acting flaky, but my mechanically-inclined neighbor came by and unplugged it, then replugged it and VIOLA! Today I was able to wash my towels, but when I tried to use the dryer, nada. Said neighbor came home as I was tacking a note on the laundry room door. He tried again--I'd tried, too--but we couldn't get the machine to work. Sigh. We only have one washer and one dryer, so it's a real inconvenience when they are kaput.
Title: Re: A LOVELY WAY TO SPEND AN EVENING
Post by: Jeanne on August 16, 2017, 04:11:22 PM
I put the damp towels in the back of my car, then drove over to the nearby laundromat. No laundromat. WHAT?! Gone. It's now a burger joint. Sigh. Fortunately, I was able to find two laundromats not too far away. I drove to one, drove around the block several times hunting for a parking space, and then dried the towels.

I must say that I REALLY AND TRULY prefer to have my own washer and dryer, but thank God for a nearby laundromat when needs must.

Yesterday on my flight from Buffalo, the flight attendant (I'll call him Mark) announced that the captain had said that turbulence was imminent so everyone needed to be seated.  A man got out of his seat and was getting something from the overhead compartment.  Mark told him to sit down,which he did, apparently not hearing Mark saying "close the bin first."  Mark then came down to do it himself.   After a few minutes, the turbulence started and it was quite startling.  Mark got on the speaker and said "told you so."

Wednesday afternoon greetings.  Our day has been filled with family, friends, tears, laughter, and hugs as we celebrated my mother's long life.  Rev. Amy performed a service that was perfect and it was so good to sing 3 favorite hymns with all those Palmers.  My niece, nephew, and cousin assumed responsibility for meeting the caterer here at the house while we lingered a bit at church.  By the time we got here, our guests had beverages and were getting acquainted and visiting.  Two vehicles left from here for Michigan, one for Illinois, and one for Georgia.  Mary Linda did most of the clean-up and the last guest left about 4:30.

I am pretty tired, but also very pleased.

I'm glad that it was such a peaceful day for you.

Yesterday on my flight from Buffalo, the flight attendant (I'll call him Mark) announced that the captain had said that turbulence was imminent so everyone needed to be seated.  A man got out of his seat and was getting something from the overhead compartment.  Mark told him to sit down,which he did, apparently not hearing Mark saying "close the bin first."  Mark then came down to do it himself.   After a few minutes, the turbulence started and it was quite startling.  Mark got on the speaker and said "told you so."

I think I'd like Mark. The passenger not so much.

Had a somewhat irritating meeting at the Group Rep about something Doug is trying to get them to do next year - that I'd do the songs for and direct.  I actually don't care one way or the other, but I know Doug really wants them to do it.  But since there's no material for them to see they're all like "pig in a poke."  Well, Doug's been there for thirty years and they've done many shows he's written - he played them This Christmas and the opening number of The Brain - if you can't tell my songwriting ability from those two songs then you're an idiot.  And since this is a kind of fun spin on A Christmas Carol now exactly is that a pig in a poke?  I felt bad for Doug - as I said, I don't give a crap whether they do it or not - it's over a year away - and frankly if they don't do it I'll just do it as next year's musical at LACC.

DR Jeanne,  an infusion is basically an i.v.  It is how my reclast is done once a year but that is only a one time poke into my vein.  A port can be used as many times as needed.
