Well, you've read the notes, the notes were virtual, and now it is time for you to post until the virtual cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: GRUBSTAKE!
-
Hello.
-
Good morning, all!
-
BK, I am dancing with joy that you have an Offenbach recording on the way. He really is the creator of musical comedy, and he wrote in a lot of different forms, from satire to romantic operetta to comic operetta to grand opera, and I think some of them like Orpheus in the Underworld verge on theatre of the absurd.
-
As for Reynaldo Hahn, I keep trying to like his operetta Ciboulette - many do! - but it eludes me. Maybe I'll give it a listen tomorrow.
-
DR CharlesSmith, I do not understand your comment about Facebook and "Me and Marie."
-
This morning, when I take the recyclables down, I will pick up yesterday's mail ands several packages, one of them being a carton of storage boxes. I need to prepare a shipment to Miami University and pack some books for our DR ChasSmith to donate to a few libraries.
-
DR Jrand70, I'm happy you are adjusting to the new dentalware.
-
DR TCB, I can only hope that jacket, when it arrives, makes me look that slender.
-
Stephen Sondheim told me around 1982 that "Silly People," the song dropped from A Little Night Music, was his Scriabin number.
-
Good morning, everyone.
-
That picture of the sandwich in the Notes has me salivating.

I think 19 is my Scriabin number, but perhaps JRand could confirm that from a planetary perspective.
-
It’s that kind of a day. Bad allergy attack in the night.
-
I keep having dreams of being in a dystopian society after the GOP and climate change destroy the way we currently live. I somehow discover a way to make the water potable.
-
DR CharlesSmith, I do not understand your comment about Facebook and "Me and Marie."
Sorry for confusion. Here's what that was supposed to mean:
I had earlier listened to three songs you linked to on FB ("Kling-Kling Bird", "A Picture of Me Without You", "Me and Marie").
Later, in your post here, I found that "Me and Marie" is listed three times (along with "Six Little Wives", once):
Thirteen years later BBC Radio-3 broadcast a performance directed by Ian Marshall Fisher with musical direction by Kevin Amos. The cast included Denis Quilley, Vivienne Martin, Gavin Lee, Sarah Payne, Sally Ann Triplett, David Malek, Elizabeth Counsell, and David Firth. I will post a few numbers from each of those performances.

TOD
Nothing much these past few days, but this talk of the Berg operas has me thinking I'll be revisiting those sometime over the weekend.
-
Tuna Melts.
There, I said it.
Been thinking about them.
The few I ever ordered anywhere were always disappointments. The tuna was always too runny (that's my usual complaint even if it isn't on a melt) and the components of the sandwich never seemed to come together.
So I'm thinking about how I would create my own, and just looking at pictures online (without reading any recipes yet) for inspiration.
-
BK's picture of the pulled pork has me salivating, but wondering about what's in the freezer is driving me nuts. Can't wait to hear about that.
-
I need to do some shopping this weekend, and I believe the chili, cheese and onion dogs are about to make their return.
I also want to improve my method of preparing them. There's a recipe for oven-baked ones (it involves a little more than just that) that I might try.
-
DR George:
What you're seeing as distortion is more a function of the three-camera process itself. Smilebox isn't creating that. Whenever you're seeing an occasional weird spatial relationship between people or things, that's going to be there when you're watching the flat screen version as well.
I'm sure that BK can better explain, or correct this if I'm off track.
It's time to take How the West Was Won off the shelf, too, because now I'd like to check both versions myself.
-
I have developed a new staging concept for Gypsy. In my production, Mama Rose would have rings on her fingers and bells on her toes. That way, we could seamlessly incorporate the Tony Orlando & Dawn pop hit into the score.
-
How the West was One: a study of Transcendental Meditation in California.
-
It really pops in surround screen.

Oh, Jesus! I sure did. What's run away with my mind?

Thirty-five years ago today my reconstruction of the 1935 Cole Porter-Moss Hart musical "Jubilee" received its first performances at Town Hall, directed by Jimmy Brennan and musical direction by Greg Dlugos. The cast included Roderick Cook, Paula Lawrence, Robert Fitch, Alyson Reed, Carole Shelley, Davis Gaines, Reed Jomnes, Patrick Quinn, and a very young, very beautiful Rebecca Luker in her second New York performance.

"Me and Marie" can be too much of a good thing!
-
In neither the original 1986 nor 1999 performances did our Karen O'Kane really nail the vocal of "Begin the Beguine."
-
As soon as the bed is made, I'm making a vat of bolognese sauce that I will hopefully fit into the freezer. I've got to use up some ground beef and pork before it goes bad. I can use it for lasagna in a couple of weeks, and I'm in the mood for some spaghetti tonight.

Page 2 Dance!

If DR vixmom were a cat!

She reminds me of Annabelle when she first moved in with me in 2017.
-
DR JOHN G I am not sure......however I will say that my first exposure to Webern, Scriabin, and Hindemith was when I played (among other parts) a disgruntled record shop customer in the stage version of Cactus Flower.
-
I need to learn to take smaller bites. That is the mouth news today.
-
Yesterday on TCM I watched Going Steady with Miss Molly Bee and a few other folks.
It was a Sam Katzman/Fred F. Sears/Clover Production from Columbia in 1958.
That got me thinking about the other Molly Bee movie I saw....The Chartroose Caboose. I looked on the IMDB and it seems that it is now a lost movie.....all of the Panavision prints and the negative was burned up in a fire in one of the Universal Vaults several years ago......
Gone forever.......
-
I am a bit late today because I went ahead and did my weekly shopping since I needed to buy some furnace filters.
-
The sauce is assembled, but I think I may have added too much ground beef and pork. The dutch oven is filled to the absolute brim, and I'm letting it all boil away for a while. The sauce needs to thicken up a bit.

You can never have too much pork!

Good Morning - nothing really going on. Just had my first vocal rehearsal for Frozen Jr. I decided I'm only dealing with kids that can carry a tune since I'm recording the ensemble vocals. It's a class project, so half of them really have no interest in what we are doing anyway - so I got permission for the principal and the classroom teacher to form a vocal ensemble. We'll see how that goes.
-
Good luck, Matthew.

Interesting.

I'm up, I'm up - about eight and a half hours of sleep.

Crazy busy day.

Ahh...thanks for the info. Doesn't mean that I'm not a little still frustrated at the distortion. ::)

Thanks for the new links, Larry!
-
Good luck, Matthew.
Ditto!!

Friday.

I discovered how that Soundcloud problem happened happened yesterday. It's either a glitch in Soundcloud or in my computer. I cannot explain it, but I discovered today that the page might change but the URL link doesn't necessarily change with it.
-
I am interested in seeing MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM (which somehow sounds salacious).
I was in a production of the play in Indianapolis in the late 1980's. We were scheduled for six weeks - we ended up playing twelve weeks. We were then brought back for another four weeks.
Then we went to some Play Festival in Norman, Oklahoma, after winning the Indiana Festival. We won the national title and traveled to Ireland for the International contest.....where we did okay.....
For the first half of the run, I played Ma's manager - then I switched to the studio owner for the rest of the run.

That's pretty cool, Jrand! Congrats on the success of your production!

Oy! I've come across that problem, too. And if I found the solution to it, I've forgotten what it was. Big help, I know.

Good evening!

Hello
-
I have nothing to say

I have nothing to say
That never stops me.
-
But say, we must.

If we are ever to get to a new page.

Such as

THREE!!!

Page three is cherce, let me tell you.

I have nothing to say
Well, speaking of chili dogs...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk1q_i76oSE
;D
-
End.
-
Wow. I could really go for a chili dog right about now.
-
Wonder what put that idea in my head? ;)
-
Ushering for the symphony tonight.
-
Rossini, Mozart and Shostakovich on tap.
-
The Rossini is the overture to Il signor Bruschino. Not familiar with it.

It's good, spread on top of some fresh out of the oven garlic toast.
-
The jokes write themselves! ;D
-

'Tis a mystery! :D
-
And now, I'm off to my mom's for some card playing.
Be back later.

Hungry. And that’s not helping.
-
DR George's chili dog porn didn't help much, either.
-
Picked up a couple of packages - screeners, including Ma Rainey's - had California Chicken Cafe - one breast and wing and the chicken pasta salad - very good. And in twenty minutes we reconvene for project two.
-
Just discussed with the principal that Frozen may be performed outside! This is a big deal... hopefully it all works out. Of course, there are precautions being taken, especially weekly COVID tests for the kids. This made me feel a little lighter today.

I am going to read for awhile.

Good night, everyone.

Good night DR singdaw.

TGIF

It is suppose to rain most of the weekend.
-
However, next week looks completely dry.
-
Perhaps Spring is here.
-
But it has still has been cold at night.
-
So, maybe not.
-
One more post.
-
Page four
-
Back from the concert.
-
The guest pianist, Jon Kimura Parker, was featured in Mozart's Concerto No. 21 in C Major and was a delight. His encore was the Grief Nocturno.
-
But the Rossini really got to me. It was uplifting and fun and full of life.
-
It's been a kind of depressing day. Too much work and not enough of a break for lunch or anything else.
-
And I was reminded earlier that today was the one-year anniversary of being on a catamaran on the bay in San Francisco, a truly magnificent day. And in the evening, I saw Sting in The Last Ship. In all, fairly incredible.
-
And then everything shut down.
-
Zoom ended an hour early, so that was good. The slightly bad is I'm dealing with eight actors who are not really tech savvy and that's very scary. We had a technical snafu that negated the first thirty minutes of the session, even though I'd been over all the tech stuff over and over again.
-
It is suppose to rain most of the weekend.
I picked the wrong weekend to have make an appointment to have my haircut.
-
My appointment is for tomorrow morning.
-
I will return home with my hair looking great, and then it will frizz up while we walk.
-
I think it’s time for bed.
-
Gratuitous post No. 102!
-
Good night, all.
-
Since COMING 2 AMERICA was recently released, tonight we watched COMING TO AMERICA.
-
Many people don't know that in Stephen Foster's first draft, the song title was I Dream of Jane with the Light, Frizzy Hair.
-
Glad that your concert was uplifting, DR John G.
-
With just a few more posts,
-
Meagre as they are,
-
We can get to
-
The next page.
-
But not quite yet.
-
In the meantime, the blathering must continue apace.
-
In the meanwhile, for your delectation: giant, crocheted sea urchins:
-
Just because.
-
As one does.
-
Hey, that rhymes!
-
VIRTUAL ME wishes he were sleeping now.
-
But alas, it is not to be.
-
But at least
-
No one can say we didn't achieve PAGE FIVE.

This video of "Cool" from West Side Story is making the Internet rounds...

Gratuitous Post #130!
-
Speaking of making the rounds, why are we having these crazy low posting days?
-
It's unseemly.
-
I've been reading more of Rutanya Alda's Mommie Dearest diaries. Faye doe not come off well.
-
I gotta tell you.
-
Where in tarnation IS everyone?
-
Certainly not here.
-
Here is where they're not.
-
Perhaps they're IN tarnation.
-
I wish the type were bigger in the diaries book.
-
Hard to read.
-
Maybe I need to buy a cheap pair of reading glasses.
-
Maybe I just do.
-
Maybe I just will.
-
That'll show 'em!
