I can't think of anything to say. ::) I don't have anything in my DVD player or my CD player right now.  Just watching Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HljSXSm6v9M), performed by the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and soloists, and conducted by Daniel Barenboim.  I don't know if it's good as compared to other performances, but it's good to me, and I like it. :)

And this is pretty cool...The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra is a very special ensemble: It is made up of young Israeli and Arab musicians and is campaigning for a peaceful solution to the Middle East conflict. The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, which was founded in 1999, gives concerts all over the world. Proceeds from the concert in Berlin went to the Barenboim-Said Academy, which supports musical education programs.

And now, I'm off to bed.  I didn't finish the Beethoven video, so I'll watch/listen to the rest tomorrow at work.

Good night, BK, and have a good day, all!

DR George, thanks for the MSNBC link about the idiot Republican in Arizona.  The Republican party has become such a den of grifters, thieves, whores, and lunatics that I fear they will end up destroying this country.  In a way, I'm glad I'm in my 70s and closer to death because it means I may never see the totality of Republican idiocy; I had enough in the past four years.

I'm still waiting for some Britten and Weill CDs to arrive. In the movie department, I've been catching up on a few Hammer horror films I'd acquired over the past year but hadn't watched yet. What got me into the mood for that was the new Warner Archive restoration of The Curse of Frankenstein which was very enjoyable.

I had weird dreams last night that I was on Capitol Hill when it was attacked again. AOC proved to be a superwoman who whipped out a supply of ties, which she used on an armed Rep. Greene, who was whining that she was supposed to win and it wasn’t fair, she was entitled to win. She had to be gagged. AOC also stopped Ted Cruz and hogtied him up. She then was shooting an automatic weapon on a zombie crowd that was heavily armed but unfocused because they were brain dead. Sounds fun, but it was depressing. Because it was happening again.

I have finished to work on the pages for the two additional productions.   And I have emailed the directors for their notes. 

One immediately apologized and promised it this weekend.....and I am sure the other one will contact me later today.

It helps that I sent links to the work I have already done so they know that someone is working with them and for them......

I just attended virtual Shabbat services at a Chicago synagogue.  Some of the musical settings featured a person playing what I learned is an EVI, or electronic valve instrument. You blow into it, I think, and then work the valves to play the various notes.  It sounded variously like a cello, a clarinet, and various other things. I don't know if it was different devices to mimic the different instruments, or if the sound is altered electronically. It was kind of intriguing.

Set your mind back to New Year’s Day 2000.  Could you, even your wildest dreams or most horrible nightmare, have imagined the world we have been living in for the last year??

Last night, during the late news on Seattle TV stations, they announced that were 6,000 doses of the CoVid vaccine that had to be used immediately or it would go to waste.

Did a quick Gelson's run and they had some caffeine free Diet Coke so I got two twelve packs of that.

I went to Fred Meyer and got five, count 'em, FIVE 8-packs of 16 ounce bottles of diet Pepsi for only $10!  The sale was good for any combination of Pepsi AND Coke products, too! ;D

I actually have that Paul Bunyan recording, but I have no idea where it is. ::)

Okay...I bought a frame for my dad's military flag from Amazon and needed to return it.  A new option is to bring it to Kohl's and you don't have to box it up, just print out or bring on your phone a return code, they scan the code and take the item and that's it.  I got the refund notice in just a couple of hours!
