Well, you've read the notes, you know that joy is remaining steadfast and not letting anything get in the way, and now it is time for you to post until the joyous cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: EQUIPOLLENT!
-
Good morning, all!
-
Thank you, DR singdaw! After fretting, googling bandwidth, and playing on the Spectrum site, I saw your post. I turned off the TV and cable box, waited a minute and turned them back on. I puttered about the apartment for around thirty minutes, and turned on Amazon Prime. Episode 4 played, then Episode 5, and I finished the ten episodes.
-
At the end, I felt much like I felt at the end of "Tonight's the Night." I wanted to go back to the beginning and watch it straight through.
-
Today I'm back to the ballet. My apartment's a complete dump at the moment, and I really need a sherpa to come and help me out. As soon as kitty cleanup is over, though, I'm back to the ballet.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
Glad it was a simple fix, DR elmore3003, and that you were able to enjoy the remaining episodes.
-
Still no reviews at Amazon.
-
I checked out The Trials of Oscar Wilde. It appears to be on some freebie channel - Screenpix or some such? Probably with ads.
-
Speaking of another Oscar, Oscar Levant, I just read the New York Times review of Good Night, Oscar, the new Sean Hayes vehicle. Sadly, the reviewer was not too impressed with the play. I had heard good things in the build up to the Broadway opening.
-
Good morning
-
I would love 5o partake in the zoom
-
My days are not always my own so I cannot commit to a time and day , please do announce when you have a time and I will be there if I possibly can
-
I guess I’ll Wordle
-
I would love to participate in the Zoom, too, but I don't have a fix on my calendar at the moment.
-
i realize that's not very helpful.
-
For planning purposes.

Good morning, all.
-
I’m with you, Vixmom. Wordle 6, Phoodle 3.
-
Those kinda rhyming words are tough.
-
Is it…could it be….have I reached another plateau?
Guess I’ll rest here for a minute
-
DR vixmom - CONGRATULATIONS on your lofty new perch in the HHW firmament!!!!!!
-
Now... tell us a story! :)
-
Morning Glory.
-
Or, if you want to bake up some morning glory muffins, that would be great, too.
-
Although you may not have time.
-
What with your overstuffed schedule.
-
But it doesn't hurt to ask, as they say.
-
TWO.
-
All alone.
-
Ah, me.
-
Ah, my.
-
Sami with an "i" and Sammy with a "my."
-
A Sami/my Sandwich!
-
If you had a release party, the signature dish could be a Sami sandwich.
-
I wonder what that would consist of?
-
Something with lots of sass.
-
But not sassafras.
-
It was banned for food production in 1960. Health issues.
-
But they used to use it in root beer.
-
But I digress.
-
Last task to tackle this morning: the bed.
-
I'm good for Zoom almost any time, but I'd prefer to be in bref no later than 9:30 (6:30 LA Time) or 10:00.

Congratulations, Vixmom. What’s left but to win the lottery?
-
Rest in Peace, Harry Belafonte! :-\
-
I keep wishing I could win the lottery.
Of course, I would have a better shot at it if I actually bought a lottery ticket.
-
If any one of you has an interest in the nature of our universe, I urge you to watch tonight's episode of "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch". No one knows what exactly is going on there, but experiments have yielded some very strange results.
Tonight, I have read that things are going to reveal more strangeness than ever before.
-
Please note that I never made any claims about UFOs or portals or aliens.
Just "strangeness".
-
Sorry if the use of "strangeness" seemed to implicate anyone here.
-
Including myself.

We are having cooler weather here in SC this week. It is currently 59 degrees, and the high won't get out of the 50s. This time last week, we reached the upper 80s.
Strange spring.
-
On Elmore’s recommendation, I am reading The Great Sunflower. Beautiful noval. I got it through an intralibrary loan. I wanted to buy a used copy, but they want $50 for it on alibris.

Two won’t do.

In this zoo.

Three!
-
I see.
-
Congrats to DR VIXMOM on her millstone.
-
Galley vibes for MR BK.
-
Glad to hear both DR ELMORE & MR BK got their technical glitzes worked out.
-
96 years was a good run for Harry Belafonte. I have a couple of his movies, the best of which was Kansas City. He used his voice to create a portrait of evil that was magnetic. You were both drawn to and repulsed by him. Really powerful Robert Altman film.
-
I started to write the same limerick that DR singdaw did, but I couldn't come up with a second line....then DR JOHN G did!
So here's the rest of it:
When he worked for Fox
He never wore Sox.
And you know he's a lousy ------!
-
I am available at any time up until 1:30 p.m. Sunday.....and then Sunday night after 7 p.m.
-
Sorry if the use of "strangeness" seemed to implicate anyone here.
Hey!
-
;D
-
Or, if you want to bake up some morning glory muffins, that would be great, too.
I haven't seen one of those since we lived in Ashland.
-
DR vixmom - CONGRATULATIONS on your lofty new perch in the HHW firmament!!!!!!
Congrats.

Martha Stewart is emailing me about how to maximize my front porch.

I hate to break it to that plucky gal, but I don't have one.
-
I keep wishing I could win the lottery.
Of course, I would have a better shot at it if I actually bought a lottery ticket.
Same here.
-
The last time we purchased lottery tickets we still lived in Ashland. Former DR Susan called informing us the Oregon lottery was super high and would we please buy x number of tickets.
-
The deal was we would buy the tickets and if we won we would split the winnings with her.
-
Please note that I never made any claims about UFOs or portals or aliens.
Just "strangeness".
;D
-
Good -- Oy, what is it, afternoon?
-
With but one day's notice I had to play a memorial service this morning. I'm back home, relaxing for an hour or so until I have to get ready to head back out to today's rehearsal.
-
Speaking of which,
Last night's first dress rehearsal with orchestra was another smoother than expected one. We got through both acts, and there was actually very little stopping for anything.
I happen to know that a lot of these classes are getting better prepared than they used to be under certain former regimes. It's all for the better.
-
I hate to break it to that plucky gal, but I don't have one.
Details.

TOD
This is what I posted yesterday, but streamlined and better worded:
THIS WEEK: Tonight through Thursday I'm available starting at 9:30pm (eastern). Friday and Saturday are show nights, so those would be out. Sunday, I'm available all evening starting around 7:30.
NEXT WEEK: Monday evening is out. Tuesday-Thursday evenings are fine, any time. I'm afraid to say the entire next weekend is out.
-
I like when a regime change improves things DR CHAS SMITH.
-
Rest in Peace, Harry Belafonte! :-\

My sentiments exactly. ::)

On Elmore’s recommendation, I am reading The Great Sunflower. Beautiful noval. I got it through an intralibrary loan. I wanted to buy a used copy, but they want $50 for it on alibris.
Is that by Clifford Stone? You can get a paperback for as little as $37.37 on Amazon.
:o
-

I haven't read that since Clifford signed a copy for me around 1980 or 81. Three years or so later, AIDS took him. I remember how beautiful the writing was and the peregrine falcon. I still refer to my peregrinations about the city.
-
I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep.
-
Glad elmore got it worked out.
-
I'm thinking Sunday might be good for the Q&A.
-
No galley, no reviews on Amazon. We'll wait till morning, which is three days for Amazon and then they'll get a strong letter saying they are actively hurting our show. Reviews bring views, it's that simple.
-
Clifford's partner Stuart White was one of my dearest friends until his death around 1983. I met him through my friend Rebecca, who was one of his students at the Circle Rep Theatre Lab, which Stuart directed. He was a brilliant director who helped develop Beth Henley's wonderful Crimes of the Heart. Rebecca had invited me to a party and Stuart was there. We had a lot of laughs and the next day he called me and asked me to musical direct a Theatre Lab Review he was doing, Nothin' Depressin', based on songs of the Great Depression. He and I used to walk around NYC bellowing "I'll Tell the Man in the Street" in questionable harmony. He was a big fan of the cabaret act "Just Good Friends" that I arranged and played for. He was one of hte founders of the WPA Theatre with his friend Kyle Renick, whom I reminded Stuart of. He had also been involved romantically with Howard Ashman, and I really don't know howling he and Clifford had been together. Stuart was directing something at Harvard or Yale when he was diagnosed with AIDS. His death hit me hard.
-
Glad elmore got it worked out.
ME, TOO!

Now Gorsuch has also been implicated in a shady, unreported real estate deal with a wealthy Republican donor who had many cases before the court.
Honestly...
-
DR elmore3003, you have GOT to write your memoir!!!!!!
-
[You] Told me love was too plebeian
-
Told me you were through with me, an'
-
[a little "Cry Me a River" reference]
-
I blame that on Tiler Peck.
-
She told me to use some paprika, and look where it got me.
-
Wrote the book people - again.
-
Guess I'll shave and shower now.
-
My friend Craig Sturgis went to college with Stuart White, and Kyle Renick. He sent me this photo of them and Howard Ashman at a WPA rehearsal for Reynolds Price's play Early Dark, which Stuart directed. Craig, who's a wonderful lyricist, ran lights for the production. It's the only photo I have of Stuart (on the right).
-
The WPA began in 1971 on the Bowery. In April or May, 1971, I went with friends I was visiting to see their midnight show, a parody of TV game shows. In 1977, Howard and Stuart took it over as co-Artistic Directors, with Kyle as Managing Director, and it moved to a building on Fifth Avenue in the 20s, as I recall. I saw a couple of shows there that Stuart directed. In the 1990s, the theatre moved to West 23rd (?) Street, very close to the Hudson River. I saw Dinah Was, a play about Dinah Washington there.
-
Thanks for sharing the photo, DR elmore3003.
-
I have to go to a cocktail reception tonight to meet the president of Yale University.
-
I hate cocktail receptions.
-
I hate attempting to make small talk with people I don't know and will never see again.
-
I hate dressing up.
-
So I can tell I'm going to have a great time.
-
You enjoy yourself, ya hear?
-
Tweezers plucking unwanted hairs sound more appealing.
-
Indeed!
-
It's being held at an art museum. Perhaps I can just accidentally wander off.
-
I can find a dark corner and just watch episodes of Sami on my phone.
-
Be mysterious DR singdaw - draw people to you.
Are you going to take your harp to the party?
-
Wonderful......sad stories.....DR ELMORE.....but lovely to read.

It’s Miss Congeniality Day!
Shatner to beauty contestant: Describe your perfect date.
Contestant: That’s a tough one. I’d have to say April 25th. Because it’s not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.
-
Five!
-
Can one be congenitally congenial?
-
And - would that be a good thing, or a bad thing?

I know that one can be congenitally curmudgeonly,
-
Just ask DR Ron Pulliam.
-
I just got an email from The Northern Face that if I spend at least $125, I can get this sun hat for free.
-
Does anyone. Still wear. A sun hat?
-
That particular sun hat doesn't look like it would do a lot of protecting.
-
But what do I know?
-
I'm no sun hat expert.
-
But being of fair disposition, I'm a sun burn expert.

BREAKING NEWS:
I have been reprieved!
I don't have to attend the reception after all.
-
I am thrilled.
-
Overjoyed.
-
In bliss beyond measure.
-
I am jubilated.
-
Regurgitated.
-
Redeemed.
-
Rejuvenated.
-
Rejoiced.
-
Revived.

I have to go to a cocktail reception tonight to meet the president of Yale University.
Interesting.
-
Ennervated.
-
I hate attempting to make small talk with people I don't know and will never see again.
I get that.
-
Agog!
-
So I can tell I'm going to have a great time.
;D

Not aghast, however.
-
Akimbo, perhaps.

SIX!

Yay!
-
As penance, tomorrow I have to train someone all day.

It won't be that bad. I'll probably enjoy it.

It's harder to do remotely than it is in person, but we'll manage.

This is a trillium blossom.
It takes 8 years after germination for a trillium to flower. Each flower yields only one seed pod each year. Each plant can live up to 25 years, and gains all of its nourishment for the remainder of the year during the spring, when its leaves are present. Trillium are propagated by ants (not bees, the wind, or birds). The seeds are covered by a sweet coating which entices the ants to carry seeds underground into their colonies. After eating the coating, the seed germinates in the perfect subterranean environment.
So don't pick the trillium blossoms; every one found in the wild is essentially a little miracle.
-
By the way, why are so many people suddenly talking about air friars?
-
I'll have to get me one from Williams Sonoma.
-
Watching Ep. 10 of SAMI last night, I kept thinking Charles Busch was looking like Arlene Francis.
-
No one has ever seen them in the same room at the same time.
-
Terrific! Delightful! Where do I review this show??
-
Is it…could it be….have I reached another plateau?
Guess I’ll rest here for a minute
Please don't add another six.
-
I wonder what that would consist of?
Lots of ham!

TCB - if you're talking about Sami, here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B6GRK789
-
Had a lot of fun doing the radio show. Airs Sunday.
-
Looks like Sunday for the Zoom Q&A - 4:30 PDT/7:30 EDT. I think we'll be able to have most of the cast there, along with some behind the scenes folks, too.
-
TCB - if you're talking about Sami, here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B6GRK789
Just kidding, BK. I already wrote a review.

Not posted, of course!
-
I need some food. Soup perhaps.
-
A soupçon of soup?
-
DR TCB turned the page!
-
BK doesn't like page seven.
-
But what choice do we have, really?
-
Hope to finish Sanditon tonight. That’s the plan.
-
I do not care for page seven.
-
Had some little pinwheel sandwich things for food - salad for later. Finally have some Diet Cokes.
-
I'm beginning to have an interesting feeling about the no-show reviews on Amazon. I hope I'm wrong in this feeling, but we'll write them tomorrow and ask them why the reviews aren't posting if they're still not up. Their response will tell me whether I'm right or wrong and if it's that I'm right then we'll explain a few things to them.
-
I may also ask a couple of you to write Amazon and ask why your reviews haven't been posted - that would happen tomorrow, which is their three day window.

I Do Not Care For Page Seven should be the title of something-or-other.
-
Perhaps it already is.
-
We were out to dinner with friends, it was nice.
-
DR elmore3003, on your recommendation I ordered a used copy of "Heart of Oak (& Other Songs of Britain)" from an Amazon seller.
-
DR Jennifer, what dates would you say are the best times to visit Montreal for autumn color?
-
The order arrived from overseas today.
-
The CD case and booklet are that album.
-
However, the CD enclosed in that case is a rock album by some artist I've never heard of.
-
I think I need to file a PayPal dispute.
-
:)

NY people, when is the best time to visit NY to see the autumn colors?

'night
-
Jeanne or anyone, have you watched a series called My Life Is Murder with Lucy Lawless?
-
Are you sure it isn't My Wife is Murder?
-
I've known shoes that were murder.
-
But that's a different story.
-
EIGHT!
-
Now at least we're off the off-putting page seven.
-
Good night, friends.
-
NY people, when is the best time to visit NY to see the autumn colors?
Early-mid Oct, I would say.
-
I am working on code to make it so we skip from page 6 right to page 8 so BK never has to face page 7 again. It will be like buildings not having a 13th floor. We just won't speak of it.
-
The swallows have returned from Capistrano or wherever the hell they went. Here's the thing about swallows. If they like your house, they will attack it all the time and poo all over it.
-
God help you if they build a nest on your house. You can't legally remove it. And they will make mountains of poo.
-
Lovely day today. Visited MIL in hospital. She is able to walk with a walker. Stopped by to try to get FIL to get up and eat something. He's helpless without her, and if/when she comes home it will be a rude awakening when he realizes she's not going to be able to take care of him anymore.
-
Poo! The Musical.
Go for it, Rodzinski!
-
Sequel Idea:
The Seduction of Joe Tynan Jr.
-
Read an article from the Guardian about Somerset Maugham’s plays being reevaluated. Can’t fly to London, but I can watch The Razor’s Edge, which I have never seen.
-
Poo! The Musical.
Go for it, Rodzinski!
Wasn't there already a show by that name? Maybe I'm thinking of Urinetown.
-
I have not seen the Bill Murray Razor's Edge but the Tyrone Power one, yes.
-
Nobody is named Somerset any more.
-
The last person to do it was Somerset's Mom.
-
This is called "going full Singdaw."
-
The last person to do it was Somerset's Mom.
I must repeat: no groaning at HHW.

Just watched episode 3 of Sami.
-
I am enjoying them one at a time.
-
And Sami’s performance of Annie was great.

Good night, all.
-
Might as well edge us towards page the 9th.
-
Tomorrow I will go to the continental US. George’s old haunts of Bellingham, for the kids’ wellness visit with their pediatrician.
-
David Gates of Bread lives in nearby Mt Vernon. Maybe I’ll run into him.
-
I had a Bread cover band back in NYC.
-
Sorry if the use of "strangeness" seemed to implicate anyone here.
Hey!
I did not say your name, now did I!!!
-
I am taking away Annabelle's Singer!
LOL
-
My drummer ran into Gates’s son once in an elevator in Burbank. Told him our band played some Bread tunes. He held out his hand and said, “Pay me.”
-
Just ask DR Ron Pulliam.
I shall be more forthcoming in naming names in future!!
-
Page 9, here we be!
-
Ron Pulliam, good to see you, sir.
-
I hate attempting to make small talk with people I don't know and will never see again.
Conversely, I love it! It's an opportunity to be out there, say what I think, and make an impression that will last a lifetime.
-
I am working on code to make it so we skip from page 6 right to page 8 so BK never has to face page 7 again. It will be like buildings not having a 13th floor. We just won't speak of it.
That, or post a photo of someone pressing his fingers against a pair of lips, and write "Don't speak!"
-
Ron Pulliam, good to see you, sir.
I am always relieved to be seen. Thanks!
-

Well, watch the Tyrone Power-Gene Tierney original.
-

Someone should develop a test kit to test for such a virus.
-
"Mountans of Poo" would make a nice title for a novelty tune.
-
I'm going to say good night.
Good night!
-
Just had the ubiquitous every two week computer freeze. Back up now.
-
Gonna have some salad - not all of it, but as much as I need.
-
Bob's bleu cheese dressing.
-
Tomorrow I will go to the continental US. George’s old haunts of Bellingham, for the kids’ wellness visit with their pediatrician.
Hope everything goes well, Rodzinski.

Salad was good.

BK approaching another big posting number
-
Just noticed that.
-
Has George gone down another rabbit hole?
-
Is he LIVING down there now with all the rabbits.
-
He never even told us why he went AWOL and never came back. We are in the dark, oh, yes, we are in the dark.
-
Watched a depressing documentary on HBO about Brittany Murphy.
-
But I feel confident that page 10 is lurking somewhere.
-
Somewhere - perhaps over the rainbow.
-
I feel certain we must be close.
-
Is there gaslighting going on?
-
Gaslighting 101, I'm afraid.
-
See?
-
Must write some notes now.
-
Hopefully someone will be in attendance when I return and can record the nice new number.
-
Which we'll get to right about now.
-

He never even told us why he went AWOL and never came back. We are in the dark, oh, yes, we are in the dark.
Very sorry about last night. ::)

The lamp is low.

“The Lamp Is Low" is a popular song of the 1930s. The music was written by Peter DeRose and Bert Shefter, adapted from Pavane pour une infante défunte, a piece by Maurice Ravel. The lyrics were written by Mitchell Parish.
Mildred Bailey made the first notable recording of "The Lamp is Low" for Vocalion Records (catalog No. 4845) on April 24, 1939.

So sayeth wiki.

Mitchell Parish. Not heralded enough.
-
When I go down a rabbit hole, I take you with me.

I know The Lamp is Low from the Goulet lp “Always You.”

Mitchell Parish’s nephew was a roadie for the Grateful Dead.

Parish claimed to have written the lyrics to the Duke Ellington standard "Mood Indigo," though they were credited to Irving Mills. He remained "somewhat rueful, though no longer bitter" about it.

“Sleigh Ride.” Now that’s some tight lyrics.
-
“Somewhat rueful, though no longer bitter” is how I feel half the time.
-
I’m just out here riffing.
-
If I riff enough, maybe Mitchell Parish will write lyrics to it.
-
“Stardust.” Don’t get much more heralded than that lyric. Yet Parish is not a household name.
-
Maybe just not in my household. I’ll speak of him to the kids tomorrow. Get my household on board.

Bert Shefter was also a prolific film composer, writing with partner Paul Sawtell - many scores, my favorite of which is the original film of The Fly.
