HAPPY BIRTHDAY to bk's Darling Daughter!
Why would Standard Time not be the time everyone should be on? Why is Daylight Savings Time be the one they want? Isn't that the made up/phony time?
That's like making counterfeit money the standard currency.
TTFN (that's "ta-ta for now" in abbreviated form).
DR Elmore, I hope your feelings about the recording project are able to be turned around.
And to my sister, Linda.

Last night on Chris Hayes' MSNBC program, I heard a journalist named - I think - Michael White, who's in Kyiv, give ther theory that Russia will lose big because the Putin and gang corruption has come home to roost. The government pays, for instance, billions to make 150 tanks. After all the stealing and skimming of govt. funds by Putin's cronies, only 50 tanks get made, but the papers say they've got 150.
I hope he's right.

It seems that yesterday was the day in 1962 that No Strings opened. People have posted reminiscences, so here’s mine, even though I never saw that or any other production, which I regret because it must have been a very special moment in musical theater history.
One evening in 1963 (I was 14?) one of my parents’ friends from church came over to our house and asked if I could play through some songs with her and another friend so they could try out a few solos and duets. My one memory of that evening is her opening her brand new vocal score of No Strings to "The Sweetest Sounds" and setting it in front of me. It was all new to me, and I was transfixed. The song was simple and lovely, but what also blew me away was reading from a Broadway vocal score for the first time. Playing the authentic accompaniment to this gentle Richard Rodgers tune, and seeing all the other information the score provided, was a thrill. I began buying vocal scores shortly thereafter, and to this day, I look at my shelf and cherish seeing my own copy of No Strings, always remembering that night. And I still wish I could have seen a production.

And I am home with my meds. Access-a-Ride was not an ordeal this morning.
DR Ginny thank you for recommending The Lions of Fifth Avenue. Have you read any other books by Fiona Davis? If so were they as good as this one?
Does anyone ever insert "I've Got No Strings" from Pinocchio into this score?

Yes, DR Jane, I’ve read all of Fiona’s books. The Lion book is my favorite, of course, but I also liked THE MASTERPIECE and THE CHELSEA GIRLS. Just finished her latest THE MAGNOLIA PALACE.
Wouldn’t it be fun to do a Fiona Davis tour of New York City?
The Zoom meeting was most beneficial, and I'm feeling much more positive about where thngs stand.

Spring is springing. For some.

Next Monday is my appointment with Eric the hottie!
I must ask him if I can drive my car again.
