What’s next for you, George?
Not even tech for any shows?

Next year, pug will direct Equivocation at Olympia Little Theatre, where we just did Bunbury, and she asked me to run sound. I, of course, said yes. Otherwise, nothing coming up anytime soon.
I did get a message from someone with a small theater in NoHo who'd love to do Levi - not sure they can afford it but I'll go look at the space and have a discussion.

Well, good night, George. It was just a thought.
Have a GREAT day, DR Elmore!
You might say last night’s tech run-through was a grand train wreck. I mean, if you were the kind of person who uses such language. Happily, not for yrs truly, but it was a bear to get through. The orchestra isn’t required to be there tonight but I know that if I’m there to cover the piano part it will help the MD and the cast immensely, and I’ll probably go. It will be of help to my own lovely self, too, in solidifying some tricky cues.

I hope it goes better tonight.
My sister Molly left for jolly old England this morning. She is about done with the first leg of her journey....Indy to Atlanta....then Atlanta to Manchester.
She is going to do some family history work and then later this week go to London for some kind of Walking Dead event.....
Recording vibes for Elmore and the New Yorkers folks
Finally!
I've been hoping for this recording for two years. We hoped to record last December, but the scheduling got too crazy. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of wonderful people today. Report this evening!

My theatre season is just starting.....auditions for SHE LOVES ME are April 7, 8. I may attend one day just to watch.
No new condos on the market today.
DR JRand, I hope Molly has a fabulous time across the pond!
Listening to a master of one of the two upcoming releases that's being prepared. Not sure I'll have the master for the other one in time for the announcement but I'll still be able to put up some samples, just not the final versions. The one I'm listening to now is really much better than the previous CD release that goes for lots of dough now and that version was so shoddily mastered and packaged, so this is quite a nice upgrade.
Tonight my book group discussed THE GLASS CASTLE. My book group in Ashland did this one years ago. It is a good thing I decided to read the book since one member hadn't read it and for the first hour there were only two of there. A 4th member joined us but had not reread the book. I like the book and didn't mind reading it again.
I got home about 30 minutes ago and fed the cats immediately. The three sessions went very well, so I hope that doesn't jinx tomorrow's two. It was great to see friends from the show I hadn't seen in two years, and the orchestra sounded fantastic. People came and went during the day, and when I left with the orchestra, they were about to begin some of the vocal tracks that were not done live today. Tonight was a session for The Girlfriends, the trio of ladies who sang in several numbers. Tomorrow, we finish up the orchestra sessions and bring in more singers. As thjey arrive, they are added to the overdubs for "Wood."
Wood!
Oh, and book order was placed! That was very good news.
I have a doctor's appointment in the morning. Not looking forward to it. I think I may have a hernia.

You had a good talk with yourself?

Watched Levi this evening. First time I've seen it since January of 2018. It's really quite good. I'd love to do it again with an all-pro cast because of course some of the student performances are not everything they could be, although I was very proud of all of them, considering most had never appeared in a musical or even sung on stage before. The show really did look great and moves seamlessly and smoothly. I would futz with a few little things if I did it again and I think some pro actors would really bring out those few characters in beautiful ways. The costumes are wonderful, too. It was an 110 minutes and so two hours with the intermission, perhaps two or three minutes longer in the theater than it is on video.
Listening to music right now. I think the new helper is ready to fully take over as of tomorrow and that, believe you me, is a good thing. Thanks to her, I'm also going to save about six hundred bucks a month, which will be great. She has a 5,000 square foot warehouse that's close to her and that's where we'll relocate - although the office we're in has a sixty-day move policy, just another reason to hate their guts - but that will enable us to move slowly - so the first thing we'll do is remove all the stock that's being stored at the pressing plant - that will save 400. And then next we'll empty out the storage facility and that will save two hundred. And I'll pay exactly what I was paying for 250 square feet. Amazing. Also, we'll be able to clear out a lot of what's in my garage, which will be fantastic.
The very first Fredric Brown book that I got was Space On My Hands. A friend of my mom's gave me the paperback after she had finished reading it, and she really liked it. The cover of that specific edition, of course, had NOTHING to do with ANY of the stories. Here it is:
