Well, you've read the notes, writing the notes was a lot easier than writing a musical, and now it is time for you to post until the writing a musical cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: SWEVEN!
-
Happy BELATED Birthday to Richard!
-
~~~Vibes for a Miracle for BK!!~~~
-
Good morning, friends.
-
Early day again for church. I think I may skip exercising this morning.
-
Is writing a musical hard?
-
Praying for another ~~~MIRACLE~~ for bk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I had another bad night of sleep so I turned off the alarm and slept an extra hour to my delight and the cats' dismay.
-
I plan to move about today quite cautiously. Yesterday was a bit fraught, but I have a few things to write about the three proposed shows before I send the info to Dublin for budgets.
-
DR vixmom, I've missed you!
-
Little Spitzer looks like he could be Thatch's daddy or grandaddy.
-
BK, from the amount of cut material, it looks as though most of Act One of The Most Happy Fella was rewritten our of town.
-
Happy Sunday everyone! There's an all new Broadway Radio Show posted for your listening pleasure. I interview Kevin Winkler about his new book about the musicals of Tommy Tune. Give it a listen!

-
DR ELMORE that's what I was thinking!
-
I think I'll write a musical this afternoon - it shouldn't take long.
-
It has been snowing here since 8 a.m. Nothing on the streets, but the yard and sidewalks and cars are covered.
I shall being going to my uncle's house in a bit. I have to drive Smarty because my brother wanted to park his car in my driveway for a couple of hours YESTERDAY and it's still there.....blocking Petey Cruiser.
-
One question that I have always had that was never answered during the trial but perhaps it was touched on in the dickumentary - uh - I mean DOCumentary about the Lorena Bobbit.
How could she drive the car for several miles with a knife in one hand and her husband's you know in her other hand? How could she even get it started without a free hand?
That was her claim.....she had both objects until she tossed one out the window.
-
Snow......Barnum is curious but not engrossed in the development.
-
Good morning, all.
-
DR Jrand71, that's twice this morning you've used the s-word. Please, man, this is a family site.
-
Don't give my neck of the woods any ideas.
-
Good morning, all.
-
No s-word in Texas. Please.
-
Good morning.
-
A three-hour lull.
-
Make that a four-and-a-half hour lull.
(Lull update posts don't count!) :)
-
Page ONE?
-
Really?
-
Not only is a musical hard to write, but Sunday posts, too.
-
Finally.
-
Finally is how I pronounce Finale.
-
I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep.
-
Zoom in thirty minutes or so.
-
From Vixmom:
Neither, he teaches in an online school district
Oh, I thought all of the schools opened back up. Craig has a few students who are online while he and the rest of the students are in the classroom.
-
My neighbor Ann just left. She brought me dinner from Chinatown.
-
DR Jrand I hope your visit with your uncle went well.
-
I'm on Zoom. Alone. Waiting. Just me. No one else. Oh, they arrived.
-
Zoom was fine - had to correct a bunch of piano things and tempos, but we'll be fine now. This pianist is fine but not as much fun as our female pianist.
-
Listening to the cast album of The Sound of Music - I've never played it very much, but it's quite fun.
-
And being Goddard Lieberson, it sounds great.
-
Just took an allergy pill.
-
I'm on Zoom. Alone. Waiting. Just me. No one else. Oh, they arrived.
No scandalous stories to relate like DR Laura did?
-
Got a few things accomplished this afternoon.
-
A long-needed shave.
-
Some slight re-arrangement of some furniture items.
-
Didn't quite get to some kitchen tasks I had wanted to, nor the home haircuts.
-
But, darn it, some of the weekend should be reserved for relaxing.
-
We went for brunch with friends and their three children. A wait of an hour to receive our food was hard on the children making them a bit rowdy. Fortunately the people sitting near them never looked our way so I guess they weren't bothered by it.
Had we known there was an outside area I think we would have opted for that. I think there was space for the kids to get up and run around a bit as there didn't appear to be many people outside.
-
Got some groceries for the week.
-
The crowds were thick. Only a handful were wearing masks.
-
Until Thanksgiving is past, I may have to go late at night.
-
Or not at all.
-
Need to get a few lazy hours in today. I don't see many happening this week.
-
I'd also like to get further in a couple of books I'm reading.
-
One is The Masterpiece, Zola's apparently not-so-nice portrait of supposed friend Cezanne.
-
The other is Lonelyhearts, a bio of Nathanael West and his wife, Eileen of My Sister Eileen fame.
-
But time is a four-letter word.
-
Onward
-
Three!
-
Hello, 3 guests!
-
The crowds were thick. Only a handful were wearing masks.
I am so relieved to live in a state that requires masks.
-
Until Thanksgiving is past, I may have to go late at night.
I wouldn't like that. We usually go mid day after the gym and it isn't too bad.
-
The three kids today are so used to wearing masks I had to ask them to take them off at the table so I could hear what they were saying. It isn't a big deal to them to wear them.
-
The twelve year old did say that there was the one time while skiing she fell in the snow and her wet mask stuck to her face ;D
Yes, she was wearing it skiing as it was apparently a busy day on the slopes.
-
The younger two had just gotten their first vaccinations.
-
It had been way too long since we had seen the children, it was nice.
-
Sunday evening greetings! We had our first snow of the season this morning, but it didn’t stick and eventually turned to rain.
-
Happy BELATED Birthday to Richard!
Thank you, DR TCB!
-
Zoom in thirty minutes or so.
So today, I ushered for a college production on Sarah Rule's Eurydice, that had several (non-college-going) friends. It wasn't until I was taking a shower today that I remembered that my union was also having a Zoom union meeting. ::)
-
Oops. Can you replay it?
-
I chose to miss the union meeting anyway because I can get the information later, and as of last night when I signed up to usher, only one other person had signed up when they were asking for six ushers! :o
-
Oops. Can you replay it?
If you're asking about the union meeting, they don't record them, but they do take notes and keep minutes, so I'll be able to find out what happened. :)
-
I don't think any important decisions were being made today, so it's all good.
-
Now, I'm at Applebee's because I'm hungry and I have a couple of gift certificates. ;D
-
Sunday evening greetings! We had our first snow of the season this morning, but it didn’t stick and eventually turned to rain.
My sympathies.
-
That s-word again.
-
Starting a nifty noir called Act of Violence with Van Heflin, Robert Ryan and Janet Leigh. Fred Zinnemann directed.
-

Good enough.
-
Mary Astor just showed up as a drunken whore with an understanding ear. She was so good at that kind of role.
-
Well, Act of Violence is over. It wrapped up almost a little too tidy. I wanted the main character, who it could be said was cut from Republican cloth, to suffer a little more. But it was really hard-boiled in a juicy way for the most part.
-
On the same disc is another noir called Mystery Street with Ricardo Montalban and Elsa Lanchester. This one directed by John Surges.
-
Watching the Adele special on CBS…
-
We tried popping some corn tonight with coconut oil, and it worked great.
-
Good night, friends.
-
'night
-
We tried popping some corn tonight with coconut oil, and it worked great.
I will have to try that.
-
Out of a nice long bath.
-
Onward
-
Four!
-
Back to Mystery Street, which is more of a taut police procedural with noir touches than a hard-boiled noir. Lanchester is wonderful.
-
Hello, 11 guests!
-
Tried to find something to watch on the Firestick - watched a bit of an Amazon Prime movie with Benedict Cumberbatch, but really didn't like it, even though the subject interested me. Then I started watching a new Blu and Ray of An Angel for Satan, one of those 1960s horror films with Barbara Steele and one of the few I've never seen. I'm twenty minutes in and I suppose it will become interesting at some point. Nice black-and-white photography though and a nice score by Francesco de Masi. And Miss Steele is, as always, hauntingly beautiful.
-
So, I'm listening to the stuff I uploaded last night.
-
And I don't care who knows it.
-
I ate two small turkey sandwich things - each was about three hundred calories all in. Later I had a chicken Caesar from Gelson's and a chocolate chip muffin.
-
And that's all she wrote in terms of food.
-
British flute concertos are playing away.
-
So, no posts in over two hours, eh?
-
Most unseemly.
-
Are you serious?
-
Page 4?
-
This is just swell.
-
Is writing a musical hard?
It’s Easy to be Hard.
-
DR Jrand71, that's twice this morning you've used the s-word. Please, man, this is a family site.
Don’t feel bad. Around here, everyone is using the “F” word
-
Heavy rains continue through tomorrow morning.
-
And after the rains end, then the “F”loods begin.
-
Also heavy winds in the south sound thru 4:00 pm.
-
We are just having a great deal of fun.
-
More fun than we are with these posts.
-
Tonight I watched the first hour of JUNGLE CRUISE.
-
This is the latest Disney film featuring The Rock.
-
It is pretty entertaining.
-
Kind of a new take on THE AFRICAN QUEEN.
-
A hard drinking boat captain.
-
A rather irritating know-it-all woman.
-
Once again, George is not here - third time in one week. We don't really wish to hear the sleeping thing anymore. Set an alarm, have someone call and yell loudly into the telephonic device.
-
I gotta tell you.
-
But I am not minding the script.
-
Are we even close to page five yet?
-
I guess we were.
-
Well, I'll just wait to post the notes until someone wakes up.
-
I can do that.
-
I have no problem doing that.
-
I will do that.
-
Unless we reach a less unseemly posting number.
-
Page five!
-
Only 700 postings to go to reach a new plateau of sorts.
-
I could just do all seven hundred posts right now and get it out of the way.
-
I like Chopin.
-
Are you placing an order?
-
In case anyone was wondering.
-
And I don't care who knows it.
-
I could just do all seven hundred posts right now and get it out of the way.
If you are going to do that, then I will go to bed.

-

I am awake.
For the moment.
-
You and I are woke.
-
George has gone to another land.
-
It must be his advanced age.
-
I need to get back to my gay
sex love story.
-
Didn’t he have to usher today or tonight?
-
At long last….. Good night.
-

I was burning another Blu-ray for my niece.
-
One of those Hallmark Christmas movies that she loves. ::)
-
Didn’t he have to usher today or tonight?
Yes, I did.
-
After ushering, I went to Applebee's and had some chicken burger that was pretty good (simple, but good), and fries that were just okay.
-
The diet Pepsi with lime added was pretty darned good, as usual.
-
While at Applebee's, I started reading Sondheim's "Look I Made a Hat," his second volume of lyrics.
-
I got through the introduction, and next up will be his lyrics for Sunday in the Park with George.
-
PAGE SIX SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE DANCE!!

-
This is cool (well, to me)...
-
When I searched for the picture above, I also came across this picture of the cast of a production of the show:
(http://www.musicaltheatreguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Sunday_Painting_Collage_no_info_SMALLER.png)
-
And in the upper left-hand corner is the name Marc Ginsburg, who plays George, and who also played Levi Strauss in the Sherman Brothers' show, Levi!
-
I just noticed that the production that Marc Ginsburg was in (http://www.musicaltheatreguild.com/sunday-in-the-park-with-george/) opened on May 5, 2019, which is my birthday. :)
