Good morning, all!

I slept rather well. I remember no dreams.
-
Joshie is happy I've been through "Rose's Turn." We've now been through all of Rose's numbers. I guess the next ones will be "All I need is the girl" and "If Mama was married."
-
Good morning, friends.
-
And others.
-
Slept decently.
-
For a change.

For which I am grateful.

I wish all the rehearsal materials for GYPSY existed existed. I'd love to see what Ramin and Ginzler were given to orchestrate. For instance, all all those dissonances in "Rose's Turn" written out on the rehearsal copies of the song or did the orchestrators add them? The published vocal score too often smooths things out. For instance, at one spot, three clarinets have a solo section over a B6 chord (B, D#, F#,G#(, and Robert Noeltner, who created the published score, has the harmony-playing clarinets playing variations of those four notes. Actually, the harmonic clarients are playing C# and D-natural against ther remainder of the band playing the B6 chord.

Cool.

Listened to Kelly Bishop before bed and dreamt of Gilmore Girls, which I have never seen. I was an investigator but don't remember what I was actually investigating.

On this day, seven years ago, I attended an adoption event at Union Square. It was a warm Saturday, and I was looking for love and companionship. I was seventy-one years old. For nearly fifty years I had been looking for love, sometimes in the wrong places, but no object of my affection ever accepted the heart I offered them.
On that Saturday, seven years ago, I stepped into a K9 Kastle trailer where a young gray tabby cat checked me out and examined my battle-scarred heart. Her name was Annabelle and she had personality with a capital P.
Yes, she said, I will accept this heart and treasure it for as long as I live. Take me home with you. And I did.
Happy Gotcha Day, Missy!

Great story, Elmore

I must be up. Off to the doctor's this morning.

You were an investigator in the dream? Maybe Kelly Bishop's character in A CHORUS LINE called in a complaint that a director was psychoanalyzing dancers just to get minimum-pay chorus jobs and Equity sent you over?

If the posting stays slow, I may have to trot out more Yogi Berra one-liners.

And there are so many one-liners attributed to Yogi Berra

though it seems quite a few of them were also attributed to Sam Goldwyn. :)

(This video does include a "paid promo." Watch from the beginning, and then once the promo starts, you can jump to 2:06 for the parody proper.)

Hello, fellow HKers!
I am online for the first time since Thursday evening.
I have power which was restored last night, and I am very grateful for it.
Hurricane Helene "brushed past" us overnight Thursday into Friday morning, with winds of 75-95 mph and torrential rains. I did not sleep much that night and was sure my roof was going to be gone by daylight.
When all was said and done, my survey of my property was surprisingly inconsequential. Limbs, leaves, that sort of thing, scattered around the yard, and a branch of a pine tree in the pond behind my house.
Power went out around 5 a.m. Friday.
I had only my cell phone and Facebook to keep informed of what was happening. Local devastation was immense, but not like the torrential flooding in North Carolina and Tennessee. We have many tree-lined streets with old growth, magnificent trees. Rather, we "had" them. A Lot of those trees uprooted completely. Many fell across roads, onto cars and onto buildings. A great many power lines were decimated. And we are rather rural compared to cities, so we are somewhat spread out, and all the trees that fell will be visible for many months to come.
When my power came back last night I was overjoyed. My street, compared to many, was relatively untouched, disaster-wise, except for one house. That house is down the street and was the home of my aunt and uncle for more than 70 years before they passed on. A large pine tree behind the house fell onto the right side of the house and destroyed the roof over the house's bedrooms. It's devastating to see.
I feel rather guilty that I suffered nothing more drastic.
I went out today for the first time since Thursday to get some hot food at the "Don'-Be-a-Square-Eat-at" The Triangle. I drove to the post officer and saw many neighborhood roads blocked by massive fallen trees. Some front yards had huge roots blocking the fronts of houses. Chain saws have been heard here for days and will likely continue for some time.
I am very much aware of how lucky I am, and I am aware of how devastated some lives have been affected.
-
Despite everything, this has been a great bonding opportunity for the affected local communities. People with generators have been cooking hot meals for the disaster relief workers. People here have freezers and many have donated their foods from those freezers to feed whoever needs it.
Extraordinary kindness is the norm right now, despite an increased sense of anxiety and criticism, on-line, about power not being restored more quickly. A huge swath of the eastern seaboard has been affected and resources are spread out to deal with the more seriously affected areas.
Weatherwise, this storm has been described as been of "Biblical proportions", causing more damage than any single storm is recent memory for this part of the country, Florida through Georgia, through South Carolina, into North Carolina and into Tennessee. Lots of flooding in areas with rivers.

I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep.

Ron! Glad you were relatively unscathed! Was wondering about you!

Gavin Creel, 48 ... ??
Gavin Creel of Findlay, Ohio. Coincidentally where my sister who attended Bradley University lived for many years.
-
One time I saw Hair on Broadway and I had to use the facilities late first-act. I was in the balcony and quietly slipped out the door and went into the bathroom. And Gavin was in there, just hanging out before making his appearance in the Act One finale.
I interviewed him some time later and asked him if that was his normal hangout. We laughed.
-
I also asked him about a time I saw him on a mad dash to the theater, full sprint toward Times Square, with headphone mic on. This would’ve been when he was in La Cage.
“There’s a guy about to miss his call time,” I thought at the time.
-
All from my upcoming book, “Creel Tales.”

DR Ron, thank you for checking in and for the positive observations.

I’m saddened to hear about Gavin Creel, a fellow Michigan Wolverine. Assuming he was “in” for the performances I attended, I may have seen him 3 times on Broadway:
La Cage aux Folles, 2005

This was the house of my Aunt Doris and Uncle Rock down the street from my house. They lived here for more than 70 years and both died in the house. It was sold after my uncle died in 2022. A tall pine behind the house (in a neighbor's yard) fell on the roof necessitating the removal of the entire roof.
-
Oh, my!

Good afternoon.

Scary photo, Ron.

I'm glad you escaped damage, Ron. I feel for all those who did sustain damage.

I was watching a program about breast cancer. Apparently 2/3 of the costs, on average, incurred by people with breast cancer is non-medical. Things like lost work, transportation, childcare, etc. Mind-boggling.

Holy smokes! When Chas posted about Gavin Creel, I thought he was just like hey, can you believe he’s 48? I didn’t know he died until now. Man that’s unreal. The pride of Findlay, Ohio.
Aside from everything else, him lying on the stage in repose in Hair was one of my favorite moments in theatre. Just broke my heart.

Coming on November 26th on Blu-ray from @WarnerArchive:
That's Entertainment (1974)
M-G-M marked its 50th anniversary with this outstanding collection of musical performances from the studio’s reign as the king of the genre during Hollywood’s golden era. Drawing from more than 100 feature films, writer/producer/director Jack Haley Jr.’s compilation took the box-office by storm, becoming one of the highest grossing films of 1974, and brought excerpts from timeless gems from "An American in Paris" to "Ziegfeld Follies to audiences new and old in just 135 magical minutes. For this special occasion, Haley called upon great stars to ‘host’ this brilliantly conceived cinematic event: Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly, Peter Lawford, Liza Minnelli, Donald O’Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Mickey Rooney, Frank Sinatra, James Stewart and Elizabeth Taylor. This celebration of the M-G-M musical has been painstakingly remastered from the best existing elements to yield a new presentation that finally does justice to Haley's dazzling cinematic achievement, which cemented the importance of the M-G-M musical's unique place in film history.

The new season of Brokenwood Mysteries has arrived at the library.
-
The binge watching has begun.
-
The first mystery was about the discovery of a dinosaur bone.
-
The second has to do with Dia de los Muertos.

It’s about time to leave this page.
-
It’s been fun.
-
Time to run.

Eight!

Eight - just in the nick of time.

Finished with my viewing.

Another M. Night Shyamalan - almost caught up with all his films.
-
Listening to music.
-
I finished the final song - all set to music, lyrics finessed - we'll see how I feel tomorrow.

It's recorded, so I don't forget it - and I wrote most of it down, notes-wise.

Having some low-fat Wheat Thins for a snack.

Didn't get to the mail place only because I forgot to go there and didn't remember until after I was home and I didn't want to go out again. I'll go there first thing in the morning, then either go to the bank or have breakfast and THEN go to the bank.
-
Another M. Night Shyamalan - almost caught up with all his films.
Is that good? Or a slog? Or both?
I’m catching up on John Huston and he could be a lousy director for hire too many times.
-
Good night, all.
-
Neither bad nor good. In the middle. I didn't hate it and the cast is good - mostly unknowns.
-
It's one of those "found footage" things.
-
Plenty of time to get to page nine.

Truly.
-
But first I must shave so that I do not look like a derelict on the 'morrow.

That would be most unseemly.

I am shaven.

But not craven.

I'm still not craven.

Where's George?

-
Listening to the soundtrack to Signs.
-
It's quite noisy, but has nice things in it.
-
James Newton Howard has done some nice soundtracks.
-
One of the problems with The Visit being a found footage film is that there's no score and it would be much creepier and even scarier with one.
-
I understand why he didn't use one, but really, would anyone actually think what's happening is real?
-
There's way to much "written" dialogue for that to work - a score really would have given the film another dimension it kind of needs.
-
Page nine has made its entrance from stage right.
-
Still no George.
-
If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say he might be eating a burrito.
-
But that would just be a guess.
-
Calling all Georges. Report to HHW immediately.
-
Just li'l ol' me and the chickens.
-
I'll try to be in bed by twelve-thirty.
-
Almost October.
-
Very soon.
-
Sooner than soon.
-
XFINITY tells me they will be doing some work in my neighborhood tomorrow - so some outages are to be expected.
That happened in my area one day last week and today, as well!

Calling all Georges. Report to HHW immediately.
I have arrived. :)

Tonight's An Inspector Calls rehearsal went well.
-
We mainly went through the scenes of each of the family members being interrogated by the Inspector.
-
Inspector Gool.
-
What a piece of work is man.
-
Our Gerald (the fiancée marrying into the family) wasn't there tonight, so we'll work on his scenes tomorrow.
-
And woman.
-
No misogyny here.
-
Actor conflicts.
-
Don't like 'em.
-
Hate 'em.
-
Inspector Gool.
My ex-boyfriend's name is Gul (pronounced Gool). He's from Pakistan and of Turkish descent, and his name is Turkish. It means "rose" (yes, the flower), but it's a man's name.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
-
Yes, I did.
-
They can't take that away from me.
-
Page ten has made its entrance. Hold tight while I change the topic.

I’m saddened to hear about Gavin Creel, a fellow Michigan Wolverine. Assuming he was “in” for the performances I attended, I may have seen him 3 times on Broadway:
La Cage aux Folles, 2005
Hair, 2009
Hello, Dolly, 2018
I never saw him live, but a friend and his brother saw him in Hello, Dolly!

This was the house of my Aunt Doris and Uncle Rock down the street from my house. They lived here for more than 70 years and both died in the house. It was sold after my uncle died in 2022. A tall pine behind the house (in a neighbor's yard) fell on the roof necessitating the removal of the entire roof.
