My adventure today will be crossing over the state line and getting fingerprinted by the great state of Noo Yawk. And paying $101.75 for the privilege. Thankfully, that’s being reimbursed by the nice folks hiring me to play Chicago at a high school next month.

One or two Connecticut towns have my prints on file as well. I’d best stay in line and keep my nose clean, you think?

Sadly, I had to turn down the opportunity to play in a college production of Into the Woods because it overlaps one of those others. That’s a piano part I’ve wanted to tackle. I’ve only ever played the synth book which largely consists of celesta and sound effects such as the cow and the baby and the squish and enough tacets to read War and Peace in.

I remember back in the '90s, a children's summer theater program did Into the Woods, and their only "orchestra" was a single piano accompaniment played on an acoustic piano...not even a keyboard with sound effects!  The pianist was my friend Eric who sadly died last year, but he was an incredible pianist and accompanist.

Quote
Lena Horn, being not only a singer, but a movie star, insisted on being allowed to stay at the hotel where she was performing. They allowed her to do that, but every morning they burned the sheets.

DR Elmore, I'm so sorry to hear that your lobby steps are such an obstacle.

We already know how much your building management cares about the comfort and welfare of its tenants, and I'm sure that modifications are complicated and costly. But it seems like that's an area that needs to be brought up to date in accessibility, and which might even be feasible in terms of the amount of space there. I dunno, maybe that space isn't as wide as I'm thinking. But I wonder if a call into 311 or to a tenant's advocacy organization is in order.

I stopped at Trader Joe's on the way home for (mostly) indulgent snack type items. Shame on me. I hadn't been in there in a while.

Just ate one of their Cubano "style" wraps which I've always really liked. I heat it in the microwave for about half a minute on each side. This one was especially delicious.

The local college (Western Connecticut State Univ.) is doing R&H's Allegro in late Feb./early March. I've never seen a production, and I'll have to do my homework reading up on it and listening to it. That'll be fun.

I have never listened to Allegro, and I've always meant to.

It's my least favorite R&H show. I like one song from it: "So Far." You know you're in trouble when the big finale is sung by a ghost and the  bitch wife's adultery is talked about, rather than a major plot point.

I have never listened to Allegro, and I've always meant to.

It's my least favorite R&H show. I like onew song from it: "So Far." You know you're in trouble when the big finale is sung by a ghost and the  bitch wife's adultery is talked about, rather than a major plot point.

I like the music for the title tune, but not the lyrics. I don’t find The Gentleman Is a Dope to be either funny or melodic. And Money Isn’t Everything is inept. Much of the rest is maudlin.

I watched last night's ACCESS HOLLYWOOD on Peacock OnDemand.

Mr. BK looked a little fuzzy - but his words were most excellent and the photos shown were very nice.  I also liked the L/S clip at the beginning - not one of the usual ones.....in this one they are hanging on the wall and trying to "fly" away.

More apartment drama today. I've been getting little headaches lately and noticed that the heat was always on when I got them. When the heat turns off the headache would go away. I tried four times to call the gas company's emergency number. Each time I called a recording would say that they were too busy to take my call and to call 911! I am always reluctant to call 911 for anything except a real emergency, but I don't wish to perish in my bed due to carbon monoxide. A fire truck arrived, lights on, sirens blaring, and three firefighters came up to my apartment to check the carbon monoxide level. It was OK and they referred me to the heating contractor. They also said that low levels, below what can be picked up on their sensors, could be present and causing thr headaches.
Title: Re: THE FIX IS IN
Post by: Jeanne on February 02, 2023, 08:26:28 PM
I do not like the new heater, safe or not, and am using my little space heater. Much more comfortable heat! Unfortunately, when the temps drop down to the low 40s, which is where they've been lately, the space heater can't handle it. I am therefore experimenting with ways to heat the apartment. I miss my old ugly radiators!

I've been watching a movie called Enough - on of those domestic violence movies, this with Jennifer Lopez. These are basically all the same but they're enjoyable and this one is directed by Michael Apted, a fine director who is trying hard given the material, which is a little weirdly cutesy, with title cards like "Get out" or "Hey" - makes it cartoonish, which isn't a good idea.
