I miss the coziness of cats in bed. But I have instead a daughter who demands I lie with her until she sleeps, whereupon I pass out for a bit, wake up and scurry to the grownups bed. Then at some indeterminate point, probably soon, she’ll wander in here to sleep with us until morning.
Title: Re: EASY LISTENING
Post by: Rodzinski on May 05, 2023, 03:28:53 AM
So if I fall asleep now, I know I’ll be awakened shortly thereafter because she’s not quite big enough to climb into this bed without a lift.

Well, back at it tonight. It's to be a closing weekend of banner carrying and day seizing.
Title: Re: EASY LISTENING
Post by: ChasSmith on May 05, 2023, 06:24:42 AM
And more hand seizing while world knowing.

Which I'm sure makes zero sense. I will explain.

Both keyboard books call for endless pages of a fast repeated pattern in "The World Will Know", somewhat akin to the piano accompaniment to "Getting Married Today". And just when you think your right hand will drop off if it doesn't just seize up, there'll be a fast run that's probably not even heard in the mix. But you sure have to try getting it out.

It's the weirdest thing, because for both of us the song seems harder to get through now than in the early rehearsals when we'd just learned it. Of course, now that the kids know it, the conductor takes it faster. So that's one thing.

I think I still have them and maybe I will find them and play them on the sound system of today.

Speaking of COVID, a little FYI just received:

The Public Health Emergency for COVID-19 ends on May 11, 2023. What does this mean for you?

Medicare will continue to cover COVID-19 vaccines at no cost.

You'll be able to get COVID-19 PCR and antigen tests with no out-of-pocket costs when ordered by a doctor.

Expanded telehealth services will continue through December 31, 2024.
More Info

After May 11, 2023, Medicare will no longer cover or pay for over-the-counter (OTC) COVID-19 tests. If you're enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, you may have more access to tests depending on your benefits. Make sure to check with your plan.

I also found a poster (rolled) for the APLA benefit Lerner, Loewe, and Lane, which I recorded and issued on CD. This poster seems to be signed by everyone who took part, including (the ones I can read) Rex Reed, Charlotte Rae, Dorian Harewood, Jane Carr, Michelle Nicastro, Patrick Cassidy, Shirley Jones, Pamela Myers, Carole Cook, Joanna Gleason, Janis Paige,  Armelia McQueen, Kay Cole, Betty Garrett, Brock Peters, Davis Gaines, Sean McDermott, and quite a few others I can't make out, and most importantly, Guy Haines.

Off to pick up dinner at the Canadian institution known as White Spot. I don't know what it compares to in the States. Perkins maybe. A little nicer.

The kids get their meals in cardboard pirate ships, each with a chocolate coin and a cup of ice cream.

My friend Gail is on a Panama Canal cruise that’s set to end tomorrow. She tested positive for covid today.

At least she waited until the end of the cruise to get sick.  Did she say what happens now?  We were very concerned that Keith had covid vs a cold and weren't sure if we would be stranded in Japan.

She has a roomette on her train ride home. She’ll stay in there and wear her mask everywhere else.

So the cruise ship doesn't know, or care, if she is sick.  Where is she getting the train from?

I think they care. They’ve drugged her up and treated her. She just didn’t go into a lot of detail on a group text.

I wonder then if they will have her exit the ship separately or let her leave with everyone else.  I hope she feels ok.

There was a great easy listening 2-lp set from 1961, Stars For a Summer Night. On Columbia. Everybody owned this thing. It was #1 on the album charts for like 8 weeks. Record 1 was the finest of Columbia’s easy listening roster. Record 2 was light classical. Maybe one of the first real compilation sets. Got forgotten over time. But I see a label called Sepia released it on CD in 2013.

That's really too bad, DR elmore3003. Could they visit you at your apartment?

Only a select few are currently welcome to enter this catastrophe of housekeeping!

On This Day in 1862, Mexico repelled the French forces of Napoleon III at the Battle of Puebla, a victory that became a symbol of resistance to foreign domination and is now celebrated as the holiday of Cinco de Mayo.

Thanks for the history lesson.  Truly as I never really think about the history of the holiday.

Actually, I don't either.  I just knew that it wasn't Mexico's Independence Day.

DR Rodzinski, in case you don't have it, this is the link to order free covid tests in Washington.
https://www.sayyescovidhometest.org/

Originally I could order two boxes, now it is only one box.

Thanks for the link.  I just ordered them.

Not only was DR Jrand72 egregiously overlooked in the Tony nominations, but his ticket to the Coronation was lost in the mail, as well.

To vixmom who asked about my family, and anyone else curious. We're all healthy now. MIL is out of the hospital, she and FIL are home and really leaning into the helpless mode, so I have to go by and make sure they eat and so forth. We are trying to quickly get them into an assisted living situation, because it is currently unsustainable over there.



Good news about all being healthy.

Ditto!!

In other news, we've heard from another festival we entered - I won Best Director of a Web Series and Sami won Best Actress in a Musical. These are probably all meaningless, but it's always nice to get.

Congrats to you and Sami, BK!!

i'll buy Bud Cort's phone number.
Not wanting to call him, just actually want to take over his phone number.
Of course, I'd probably have to call him to propose this.

You're in a different area code...it wouldn't matter. :)

Off to pick up dinner at the Canadian institution known as White Spot. I don't know what it compares to in the States. Perkins maybe. A little nicer.

The kids get their meals in cardboard pirate ships, each with a chocolate coin and a cup of ice cream.


That's pretty cool!

I was looking at old records at the in-laws and found a 3-lp Croatian operetta called “Mala Floramye” by an Ivo Tijardović, a composer who became part of the anti-Mussolini resistance in WW2.

If you want a hint of what I'm talking about, a simple visit to the imdb will tell you - over on the right where it says User Reviews - under that it says User Ratings - take a look and let me know what your guesses are. If you want to bolster it, head over to Amazon, click on details then read reviews then look at the star ratings and tell me if it looks familiar, kind of like what you just saw on the imdb. Then report back.
Title: Re: EASY LISTENING
Post by: Rodzinski on May 05, 2023, 11:06:15 PM
So… generally high ratings then … 2 one-star ratings on IMDb and 1 one-star rating on Amazon. So is this that fiend again, hounding your projects with low ratings as some vendetta?

It's the cagey also leaving a four-star rating and a three-star on Amazon. Nothing new here but this time we'll be proactive about it and contact both imdb and Amazon. This happened with Outside the Box and all those one-star things were removed.
