My federal unemployment stipend, which I believe ends next week, did land in this morning's bank account.
I'm sorry to hear they didn't make the effort to do original covers on the Toscanini set. The original RCA LM/Shaded Dog releases had plenty of interesting variety. But it seems that starting with the Victrola LP reissues, which were uniform but varied in color and photo, the Old Man has tended to always get uniform sets.
I do envy BK in having acquired all of these amazing sets. :)

Yes, we have one more Sunday claim to make on that. And my 39 weeks of the state one continue through December. (I only qualify for the minimum amount on that one.)
But at least they're now -- finally -- TALKING about another round of stimulus, and it seems fairly probable (fingers crossed) that this will be extended or restarted, even if not in the same amount.

Did you know that Toscanini played cello in the orchestra for the premiere of Verdi's opera Otello?
DR ChasSmith, I still mourn your Poe and send hgs and vibes of comfort.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/size]
I wonder if you have any photos of him in his prime you could post?
I am enjoying Ingmar Bergman's version of The Magic Flute.
I really like Tamino and Papageno - nice looking fellows who play their parts well. I am assuming they sang their parts......

The film gave Haken Hagegard, the Papageno, an international career.

Here following are a few of the pictures that will go into an album. This first one is of his entry into this house. Click to enlarge.
Kristi got that carrier specifically to go to that house and get him, and he took his leave of us in it yesterday, lying in it with the top removed. It's actually been our favorite of the carriers we have, and we're keeping it.
And finally, for now, here he is at close to age three.
I decided to do the laundry, so it's begun.

And when you finish that, you can come to my house. They still haven’t replaced the part that’s supposedly broken on the washing machine.
That's a cool picture in today's notes. :)
Sorry to read that Annie Ross had died. She had a great vocal talent - despite what her aunt told her.
Meanwhile, the speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives and 4 others were arrested yesterday on Federal bribery charges. I will not be surprised if our representative and neighbor :P is mixed up in this mess.
My question for ASK BK DAY:
Would a film like "I Was a Teen-Age Frankenstein" have a sneak preview anywhere - or would the producers just loose it on an unsuspecting world?
Continued vibes for DR CHAS SMITH.
And they just cancelled the order.

DR George last summer my phone shut down while I was swimming. The sun had moved and it was no longer in the shade.

Listening to Lambert, Hendricks & Ross now. Interesting tidbit from Jon Hendricks’ liner notes. The group originally would have been a quartet with Georgia Brown as the fourth voice, Ross sabotaged that. Her reason: “I wanted to be the only girl!”

Her aunt was Ella Logan from the original Finian’s Rainbow.

Broadway Records has announced a Nick Cordero album.
DR CharlesSmith, I just saw this on FB and burst into tears.

Scary times: I'm beginning to like the Beethoven seventh!I love that piece. The only time I ever saw Bernstein conduct live, he conducted that piece at Tanglewood. Turned out to be his last concert. And I treasure the live recording that was made of it and the Britten Sea Scapes from Peter Grimes.
We had two sets of thunderstorms last night......maybe another one tonight.....

It's a safety feature that's more than likely a good thing.

Yes, for the sandwich. Something clearly went wrong - first the weird text, then one person was supposedly at the restaurant, then that name changed, and finally they cancelled. Of course, the dough is out of my PayPal account for three days at which time the authorization will fall off. They did give me a five-dollar credit. I had Granville mac-and-cheese with chicken instead - very good.
My brother got a voicemail that was delivered as a beta text. When he read it, it said:
Hi, Mike. Sorry I haven't talked to you. Just wanted to know how everything is going. I'll try again later. Dad
And of course our father died in September, 2015.....
He erased the beta mail.....so there you are. Some people think it is a fishing email.....but his account is in his real first name - Paul....his middle name is Michael....
So there you are.....I am thinking I may see if there is a way to retrieve the message, but I am not obsessed with doing so.
Starting to watch This Is the Night, supposedly Cary Grant's first film. It's a pre-code comedy that begins with the musical number Madame Has Lost Her Dress.

Five!
Have fun at Costco, George.

Thanks, John. I usually do.

The protesters are setting fire to buildings on Capital Hill (Lavender Hill) in Seattle tonight.
Before the government shells out our two Billion dollars to Pfizer for their vaccine, shouldn’t we check to see which of our politicians own stock in the company?
