Post by: elmore3003 on October 04, 2022, 03:58:40 AM: That Tams-Witmark Li'l Abnerr piano-conductor score on eBay is the published score, into which the late librarian, andv my good friend, Dale Kugel has ewritten cues so it's a better aid to the conductor than the published score. Much of the outrageous pricing for MTI and Tams-Witmark comesa from the fact the seller thinks it'sworth a great deal of money.

Post by: ChasSmith on October 04, 2022, 06:08:18 AM: DR Elmore, that's interesting about Dale Kugel's involvement with the Li'l Abner score. Did he handwrite his additional cues in, as was done for a couple of the R&H scores? And are those by any chance his work?

But we're not seeing his work here, are we? I got my Abner score out and all of the pages that seller posted match my published one exactly, except for the list of instrumentation up front added by Tams. Both are as I remember it from when I did it as a high schooler - my first ever show.

The Tams-Witmark piano/conducxtor is the published score with handwritten information, and each score Dale worked on has different amounts of his writing and cueing.

Post by: elmore3003 on October 04, 2022, 07:22:56 AM: Since I see no signs of Dale's hand, I can only assume that he felt the cues in the published score were sufficient. Then, again, the seller might have ignored pages with his handwriting because he didn't realize what those markings meant.

Post by: ChasSmith on October 04, 2022, 01:33:06 PM: TOD

I really don't know what would be the best I've had, or even what my favorite is. I like many kinds of Italian food, and have had wonderful meals of it - here, there, everywhere. A few standouts, both high and low, would be:

My beloved Two Guys From Italy on Yucca at Las Palmas, probably my favorite "neighborhood" jernt of all time - for pizza, lasagna, the usual stuff. Always a comfortable place, always delicious.

A nice Italian restaurant on South St. in Philadelphia, the name of which I probably have no way of determining now, sorry to say, as this was in the late 1980s. (But I should try to figure it out. Right? Depends on how many there are, or were, within a certain range of blocks.)

I think in NYC I've only ever eaten a full Italian meal at John's on East 12th Street in the East Village. I remember the tiramisu but not so much whatever I ate before that.

As far as pizza goes, there have been too many good ones across the country to try to name.

I don't wear either though as a child I practically lived in thongs, a name that got changed to flip flops thanks to the stupid underwear.

They were always flip flops here

Post by: vixmom on October 04, 2022, 07:30:22 PM: I may or may not have dated that boy a month or so longer than I might have otherwise because of that manicotti
Title: Re: IT'S A WRAP FOR NYC AND HOMEWARD BOUND
Post by: vixmom on October 04, 2022, 07:35:13 PM: Besides the aforementioned manicotti, I do like a nice meat lasagna, as long as there is no sausage

Post by: bk on October 04, 2022, 09:40:11 PM: And I'm home. Loooong flight, but only arrived about thirty minutes late, so they made up a lot of time. And I was right about the long takeoff wait - because they had to clean up the paperwork, they lost their place in the takeoff queue and went to the end of it.
