Well, you've read the notes, the notes were at 38% and hopefully climbing, and now it is time for you to post until the hopefully climbing cows come home.

Finally, a pretty good night's sleep.  I had this strange dream that I was driving back to Miami University for a prodiuction, and I had forgotten my work kit of pens, tape, music paper, rulers, etc. There was some nonsense as well about a ballet benefit, with each "group" responsible for the music for a sequence.  My group was responsible for Delibes' wonderful Variations on a Slavic Theme from his ballet Coppelia.

There were a lot of friends in the dream, but I only remember now my late Middletown friend Rick Snelling, an AIDS victim from the 1980s, who moved to Florida shortly after I moved to New York, and Wade Russo, one of Goodspeed's musical directors.

Speaking about Coppelia, last night before President Biden's address, I watched the latest Royal Ballet production on DVD. I like the production quite a lot, and the beautiful score is played very nicely by the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House. Marianela Nuñez, a real star, is an amazing dancer with a good sense of humor.

Found a bunch of stuff in the garage that are potential perks, including a ton of stills I got many years ago when the Theater World collection was being sold - all the stills used for their various volumes. These are original photos, one-of-a-kind. I have a ton from Stop the World's original cast, I have one-offs from Bells Are Ringing (Judy Holliday), The Miracle Worker (two) with Duke and Bancroft, Damn Yankees (two), and lots more. I should think these would sell quickly if I put them on the Facebook B'way boards. The six theater programs that were up sold so I now have some more to put up. I also have two original cels from Kiki's Delivery Service - these seem to have gone through the roof in the past decade - I haven't yet found one for under $2,000, but most go for three or four grand.

Finishing the evening with a few more episodes of Josie and the Pussy Cats. The music is certainly the only thing worth watching. Unless, that is, you're a Casey Kasem fan.

What I like about this photo is that sitting to Jayne's right and usually cropped out of the photo is Clifton Webb whose reaction is nearly as priceless as Miss Loren's is.

So many reasons to like this photo.


Name four!

DR TCB congratulations on your second CoVid 19 vaccination.  How do you feel?


I feel great.  No pain at all.  Although my friend, Diane, says that the second day is the worst.

At least that long.  I am not even sure the PA can order the oxygen.

Yes, should have been 50% as soon as that contribution hit because that did put us a bit over halfway home. Hoping for some action tomorrow.

Found a bunch of stuff in the garage that are potential perks, including a ton of stills I got many years ago when the Theater World collection was being sold - all the stills used for their various volumes. These are original photos, one-of-a-kind. I have a ton from Stop the World's original cast, I have one-offs from Bells Are Ringing (Judy Holliday), The Miracle Worker (two) with Duke and Bancroft, Damn Yankees (two), and lots more. I should think these would sell quickly if I put them on the Facebook B'way boards. The six theater programs that were up sold so I now have some more to put up. I also have two original cels from Kiki's Delivery Service - these seem to have gone through the roof in the past decade - I haven't yet found one for under $2,000, but most go for three or four grand.


The BELLS ARE RINGING would be great, if you could get Judy to sign it.

Sometimes that helps, but there were four of us playing, so the odds weren't in my favor, either way.

Not to get political, but what a f*cker...GOP Sen. Ron Johnson says he never felt threatened during Jan. 6 Capitol attack (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/gop-sen-ron-johnson-says-he-never-felt-threatened-during-n1261024).

The Wisconsin lawmaker said he would have felt threatened if Black Lives Matter or Antifa had stormed the Capitol.
