Today is Stephen Sondheim's birthday. I think of him often and fond
After being sacked from a project by a lying, treacherous weasel I believed was a friend in 1991, my career died. Two years later, Bruce Kimmel saved my career - and my sanity - by asking me to orchestrate "Unsung sondheim" and Liz Callaway's Frank Loesser album I think this may be my favorite track from the recording. Thank you, Bruce!

The pair of keets are glad that I am spending time back in the computer room - the IMAC is in another room.
So they are sitting on the perch on my side of their cage talking to me as I post.

Did not sleep on plane. Endured long lines at customs where the kids managed to hold it together. Then we went to an airport hotel to crash for a few hours until our city air bnb was ready. Struggled to wake, then taxi’d about 40 min in. Mrs Rodz outdid herself with this place. We are in the very shadow (or currently the sparkling gleam) of the Eiffel Tower. Bought some groceries, ate at a bistro (beef bourganion) now crashed out again. The sound of a party wafting through the courtyard…

Speaking of which, I'll be in Southern California in a few weeks and my friends and I will be attending the Sunday, April 13th show. Hope you'll be there that day!

Slow news day at HHW.
Everyone must be watching basketball.
I don't get my kicks from page SIX.
This Facebook post reacted to the LOVE LIFE Times article. The post seemed controversial but interesting.
"Arthur Lundquist
Well, they made cuts for time, to bring the running time down to two hours. Not a deal breaker in my book. They dropped one musical number that they didn't have time to do justice to. Not inexcusable for an Encores presentation. But then, the director thought "what didn't make sense to me was the script." Well, to me that would be grounds for any director of integrity to turn down a project. The original show ran for a year on Broadway, which suggests the book is no disaster, and needs someone who understands what works about the script. So in order for her to give herself a personal stake in the project, the director got rid of a magician in the first scene and replaced him with two children. Which it seems to me would take away our introduction to the "vaudeville" inter-scenes that are the show's major innovations. On the other hand, in the article I see no mention of songs from the Lerner or Weil songbook being shoehorned into the show, which seems to be an irresistible temptation in this day and age. On balance, I'd give it a chance. Can't be worse than the revival of CAMELOT."

Did I mention I only got 3 hours sleep last night? I’m literally falling asleep at the keyboard.
Greetings from Paris, the City of Light.
Tomorrow my Lil Rodzette turns from 6 to 7. The babies are disappearing.

Our first Otello chorus music rehearsal was great fun. This will be such a wonderful show to learn and perform.
Exercising would be so much more rewarding if calories screamed while you burn them.
You almost can't tell which is the original!

Sad story. Van Dyke was supposedly a Christian Scientist. He had both cancer and heart problems, but, rather than seek treatment, he committed suicide.
Back from tonight's show - half a house and mostly a quiet audience who then cheered at the end. Baffling. But everyone I talked to said they really enjoyed it. The energy was a bit off because one of our ensemble members texted that he couldn't do the show due to illness and vomiting. I arrived at seven to be informed that but before I could even worry about it, our dance captain already was on it, figuring out who could do the scene shifts and how we'd deal with one less person. By show time, I simply think people'd heads were in the wrong space. Still, I don't think anyone could tell. Hopefully, he'll be back for the matinee.
