Wonderful to hear the good news from DRAT! THE CAT! like the sold out house, getting all the laughs, the great reaction to the show and the excellent talkback. 

Sorry to hear about the leading lady's microphone before her last song, but so great that she was able to project to make up for that. 

And how strange about the music director's news about needing to miss a performance.

Last night I caught by sheer chance a documentary on the late great Jacqueline du Pré that left me sobbing like a baby by its conclusion.

There were numerous clips of the famous "Trout" Quintet film from 1969, and I am happy to see the entire film is on YouTube:

That’s shocking, the music director thing. It would be unimaginable in these parts.

But also, twelve people? Yes, that’s discouraging. But those are the people he already knew to ask. In LA the pool must number in the hundreds…or who even knows. A lousy situation, though.

Got some decent sleep. Weird dreams about running restaurants or wineries that were all together and sloppily managed,and the operators were all wondering why they weren't good enough to be part of my book. One eatery only boiled water, crushed up seaweed sheets to make a weak broth and then added noodles.

I have a massive study guide to the first 12 chapters of Judges that I have been slowly going through. I just checked on a volume 2. It’s coming out later this year for $85 a copy. Not in my price range. This volume is priced at $75. How did I afford that?

MD is trying to get a sub but can't find anyone. But the real issue is his score - it's got his scribbles in it and I don't think anyone will be able to decipher it much, plus he also has to cue the drummer for a lot of stuff and no sub will know that. This is NOT the show OR cast to do this to. It would be one thing if the score had been properly printed rather than being what it is - but it never ran long enough for that to happen. So, it's very hard to read and I cannot see a sub walking in and just doing it out of the blue. That's a recipe for disaster. It's not like a reed or trumpet sub - those parts are properly printed and easy to read because they were created for the recording.

BTW, DR Rodzinski, yesterday we both misidentified Bruce Glover's wonderful character in Diamonds Are Forever.

He was Mr. Wint, not Mr. Witt.

Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd. An unforgettable pair.

Indeed that’s right!
