Listening to a fantastic singer called Lucy Reed.  I got this because Bill Evans is the pianist, circa 1955.  What a voice and the material is incredible.

I am not watching, nor plan to watch, The Real Housewives.  Emily  and Sara stopped being my niece when after her parents separated and too much happened that only made me want to have no dealings: her mother became involved with a abusive white trash Butler Country sheriff who refused to let her communicate with any of her husband's family.  For three years or more I sent Christmas gifts to her and the girls and never knew if they received them or not.  I learned they did each year by asking my former sister-in-law's if she could give me an answer.  They had. 

My sister-in-law got angry with my parents for refusing to taker her side in battles with Macbeth over child support and she broke communication with my parents.

Emily's always been a large woman and in the 1990s she tried modeling.  She was living in Manhattan and I didn't know it until Macbeth called me and asked me to help her out with an apartment search. I spent a day working on it, left her several messages at the phone number M gave me.  She never returned my calls, moved back to Ohio, and I never heard another thing from her until she sent me a FB friend request.

They did, however, drop Vincent and Ali MacGraw.

  2.  I believe he deliberately missed lights to add more time to the meter
  3.  I told him to turn left on Broadway three times before we got to it; he turned right
  4.  My rife was $8.oo with tip; I have him a $20 and asked for $12.00 back; he gave me $8 and we had to go through it again.

So. ANNIE.

Outdoor venue. Right?

This was originally to have been opening night, and they cancelled that earlier this week due to the week’s reign of rain (see what I did there?), making Tomorrow (see what I did there?) the opening instead, and we’d have Tonight (see—  no, wrong musical) for a sorely needed final dress rehearsal.

So last night the weather gods smiled upon us (all except those in the humidity department) and we had a pretty good first dress rehearsal on the actual stage with the band in their actual tent. What with tonight’s rehearsal, we should then be in decent shape for the Saturday opening. Right?

Well, this afternoon those fickle gods turned the rain and thunderstorms back on, and tonight just got cancelled. Just for the orchestra. They desperately need to do tech, if it will stay clement enough even for that. So cast and crew are on, for whatever they can accomplish, while we are suddenly blessed with the evening off. (We still get paid.) Which is just bizarre. It’s welcome, but disorienting. And really, we needed the rehearsal. Tomorrow we’ll be praying for Rosemary’s baby.

Excellent, DR Elmore.

As it happens, I’ve decided that instead of the many “constructive” or “productive” things I rightfully SHOULD be doing with my free evening, I’m making a Friday TOD of it (and a Manhattan) and spinning some discs. Tonight’s overdue guest of honor is Ben Bagley. First up, some Cole Porter and some Gershwin. Then, my first ever listen to the Bernstein.

I still bet Lady M is plotting to put her face on that program.

If you hear that somehow Lady Macbeth gets on the show you must tell us. I am dying to see what she is like on tv.

I have three days off - in a row....something that hasn't happened since April.....

My cousin's son was killed in an accident yesterday....very sad....I do not know the details yet, but they will perhaps be forthcoming today.  My cousin and I were very close as we were growing up...he's a very nice man.

He had two daughters with his first wife.....he had his only son with his second wife....and they named him....Jack.

Oh, this is heartbreaking 💔

I'm so sorry. :(

Watched what was an intriguing Spanish movie on the Flix of Net - but it all kind of went to hell in the last thirty minutes.  The bad music didn't help much.  But there was a very good idea and a good first two-thirds.

T.O.D.

We're in the process of watching Herman Woulk's THE WINDS OF WAR w/Robert Mitchum on DVD.

Haven't seen it in years.  Two long episodes left, which we will probably watch this weekend.

I was very disappointed in the casting of Mitchum and more so in Jan-Micheal Vincent.

I like Mitchum, even if he was a bit old for the role.

Who would you have cast?

Jan-Michael Vincent could have been one of the biggest stars in the business, but he threw it away.

But did you read the book? 

No.

Then you didn't know how wonderful these three characters were in the novel.  Byron was charming and good and happy while Vincent sulked through the entire role.

When they  did the sequel, WAR AND REMEMBRANCE, there was talk of replacing Mitchum with James Coburn, but they stayed with Mirchum.

They did, however, drop Vincent and Ali MacGraw.

If they could only drop 3 of the 3 they chose well.

They didn't drop Mitchum.

Yes, I meant two out of three.

We went to dinner at a restaurant we occasionally go to near us.  Unfortunately we deviated from our usual orders and got the summer pasta.  We expected a lighter sauce and lots of asparagus and snow peas.  Instead it was the smallest pieces of zucchini possible and corn.  We didn't care for the sauce either.  After asking the waitress what happened to the vegetables listed on the menu and that we did not care for it, she not only took off the pasta from the menu but our salads as well.  All we paid for were our drinks.

Finished watching Nickelodeon. It's no masterpiece, but in this case, the director's cut is much better because it's in black and white, not in color. It looks like an old Nickelodeon flick. That really helped. But you're movie's in trouble when your big climactic scene is of your characters watching somebody else's movie, in this case Birth of a Nation.

And speaking of the heat:  Science Says: Record heat, fires worsened by climate change (https://my.xfinity.com/articles/news-national/20180728/US-SCI--Science-Says-Extreme-Weather-5ce7)!  Here's one paragraph:

Quote
Japan hit 106 degrees on Monday, its hottest temperature ever. Records fell in parts of Massachusetts, Maine, Wyoming, Colorado, Oregon, New Mexico and Texas. And then there's crazy heat in Europe, where normally chill Norway, Sweden and Finland all saw temperatures they have never seen before on any date, pushing past 90 degrees. So far this month, at least 118 of these all-time heat records have been set or tied across the globe*, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
