I don't really care for The New Broadway, since the younger people have taken over. I realize the younger people need to take over, but I don't know that it's worth the money to me any more.
Turn your clocks back tonight!
DR JohnG, were you plagiarized by a co-worker? I want more info on the case.

Beautiful car, George.
DR George, that car is beautiful! I look forward to photos of your new auto, its driver trying to find the gas tank, and other tragedies of human existence. Thanks for posting the photos.
It was quite chilly last night, a great night for sleeping under a pile of blankets, but I was restless and up and down too much last night.
I usually turn mine back around noon and then spend the day trying to figure out what time it really is.
Exciting car news from DR George.

I'm with you, DR Laura. The Broadway I wanted to work in pretty much died out by the time I got to NYC in 1979. As an orchestrator, I'm only really good for revivals and I know none of the young orchestrators working on them. My lkast hope is that BK or someone else will take up the Lost in Boston or Unsung Musicals series and keep me working.
If this recording project comes through, it will be a blessing since it will keep me busy doing what I love.

Great looking car, George.
DR JohnG, were you plagiarized by a co-worker? I want more info on the case.
I wasn’t. Something on our website Had been lifted from a government website without attribution or links to where the info has come from. We’re passing it off as our own information, and it ain’t. I don’t even know if we have permission to run it. But we can’t do that.

Why would you want to be like buttermilk?
DR George, congratulations on your choice of car. I, too, am a stick-shift person, even if my current car is an automatic, and it's abominable that so few are available now.
I am also a happy convert to Subarus. The one I'm driving is a 2005 Outback station wagon, and they are wonderful cars.
(I happen to love the station wagon configuration, both for carrying the things I carry, and for the throwback feeling of when larger cars were fun. I, too, will shop for a Subaru when it's time to replace it.)

I'm listening this morning to my 2011 recording of Victor Herbert's Eileen. I was going to send the Amazon reviews to the man funding this new recording project, and I found, after eight years of nothing new, a 2021 rave review for the recording:
This is absolutely one of the best light opera recordings ever made. In Eileen, Victor Herbert wrote a score that is consistently memorable and free of turn-of-the-century Broadway cliche. Its Irishness is probably largely responsible for this, as Herbert, being Irish, drew it from his soul. Love songs, yearning for homeland, and snappy patriotic choruses fill the work, interspersed on this recording with just the right amount of dramatic dialogue. Herbert's harmonies are moving and irresistible, but never obtrusive. He was one of the finest orchestrators in musical theater, as was Harold Sanford, who assisted him in that time-consuming effort.
David Brophy and his forces give us the performance of a lifetime. The tempos are well chosen and the orchestra and chorus respond with dedication and alacrity. All of the cast singers have voices ideal for their roles, making the love songs even more meltingly beautiful. The Irish speech in the dialogue is a delight to hear, and the inclusion of songs that were cut from the show is a most welcome bonus.
To top it all, New World Records gives us sound with excellent presence, just right for this kind of music. And the booklet contains detailed notes and the text of everything sung and spoken in the recording.
Today is National Saxophone Day.
DR Elmore, that is one fantastic review somebody gave your recording.
So instead, here's the:
PAGE ONE SUBARU IMPREZA DANCE!!(https://www.subaru.com/content/dam/subaru/vehicles/2022/IMP/vsp/exterior-360/TAQ/TAQ_018.jpg)
I just noticed that the gas tank is filled from the passenger side:

It's on the driver's side on my Escort...that I've driven for more than 23 years. It'll be weird to now fill the tank on that side. It won't be difficult to change the habit, though.
NO! I shan't turn my clock back!!!!!

I'll bet TCB has a grand time sitting back and not changing his wall clock while the rest of the populace is scurrying around changing theirs.
Yesterday I just did a Google search for Miss Allison Hayes, as I do now and then....
And found a blog about her that was nothing but my internet bio cut and pasted......with no acknowledgement or link or anything. Sad......and of course I never received an email or anything from the "writer" who did the same thing - only adding a few paragraphs from Tom Weaver - in an edition of CLASSIC IMAGES earlier this year.
Of course at least I was given a thanks at the end of the article. Former DR MICHAEL BARNUM alerted me to it.....
I found out today that my uncle, who lives in New Jersey (and in Florida), was to have had knee replacement surgery on Thursday. Well, he "coded" on the operating table. They had to resuscitate him. He is still admitted, under observation. And the knee replacement did not happen, obviously. And now, probably, never will.
