Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of the hand - the hand, and now it is time for you to post until the five-fingered cows come home.

I fell asleep a little after 9:00 after having trouble keeping my eyes open all afternoon and now I'm awake.
-
I thought I had posted yesterday that Keith also got Wordle in three.
-
I need to try and go back to sleep.
-
Good morning, all.

Need to get ready for work.

Wednesday.
Today is getting day so I shall be off in 20 minutes or so.

I remember on our local non-network-affiliated Channel 4 - in 1960-62 - they were would show a movie at 10 a.m. and the same movie at 10 p.m. for five days in a row.
They were almost all old RKO movies - but there was always a new title card that read "C & C Productions Presents...."
That's when I saw all the Astaire/Rogers movies and King Kong and Mighty Joe Young.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I slept late, but I am up and moving now. I was having a dream in which I and everal other young people of college age were finding that our DVD of Psycho, although purchased in a store, was a bad, incomplete bootleg. Then severasl others turned out to be duds, and the mystery began.
-
I'm very tired this morning. I read all of yesterday's posts and I now remember nothing.

Except that DR John G has a blue dress.

Former DR Edisaurus's cat Major was euthanized yesterday. He was suffering from surgery, diabetes, and cancer, and her hopes to bring him home alive never happened. She posted this photo six hours ago on Facebook. She realized that in 12 years of loving and living with Major, she had many photos of him, but not one with her, so one of the technicians took this yesterday.
My heart breaks for her.

I was momentarily confused by Rodz’s late night post “ I saw the ex-husband’s trailer “ as I didn’t know he had had a husband, especially one that was an actor….or I suppose lived in a trailer.
-
Then I saw an ad for the show or is it a movie?

I think I am still confused

And sleepy

BK wrote in the Notes: "I do not react well to bullying and harassment, and especially when it’s done to purposely inflict emotional damage. "
BK, I gather you might prefer taking it public as a way of dealing with it, but is what this person is doing to you bullying and harassing you in a way that it might rise to the level of elder abuse against you?
We joke on HHW from time to time about whether there's "gaslighting" going on, but could gaslighting really be being done to you?
-
George, that was a really nice theedur picture in the posts last night.

More Modern Major Miracle vibes for BK!

Yes that was a nice theeder photo from DR GEORGE last night.

At one getting place there was a 43" 4K tv for $138 and a 53" 4K tv for $238.....so you ight check your local WalMart if you are in the market for one.
I don't think I would have it delivered - but go to the store and purchase it. Most of the bad reviews are from folks who got a broken tv set delivered.

Suddenly I want to watch NASHVILLE - maybe I will do that tonight.

I have six days until my theeder days begin.....and goes on and on until September.
I am trying to enjoy these few these final few days of inactivity.

It’s a skirt. But I am glad it was memorable.

I've got "It Never Entered My Mind," one of my favorite Rodgers & Hart songs, stuck in my head.

Good morning, all.

I've been cooking for a long time, but I'm a newbie to baking. Yesterday I baked my first-ever chocolate cake from scratch and brought it into our opera chorus rehearsal. It was a hit!
-
That encourages me to keep expanding my cake repertoire beyond two (lemon drizzle and chocolate) during rehearsal season.
-
One of my fellow choristers has never had a lemon drizzle cake and loves lemon desserts, so that will probably be next since I haven't shared it with the chorus before.
-
So after seeing Love Life I've been on a Lerner kick, especially the shows outside of the big hits.
-
Which leads me to the TOD: BK (or DR elmore, or anyone else who might know), do you know the story behind the Dance a Little Closer Broadway cast recording? How did it get made, given the show's quick close, and then how did it see the light of day 4 years later?

Trying to keep within the parameters of a family site, but if a man wore an Alice Blue Gown, could a possible parody title be Phallus Blue Gown? (Asking for a friend.)

I think DR MICHAEL G should share a photo of his upcoming Lemon Drizzle Cake

I agree.

I saw the turkey; it was awful. When I heard the demo, Ithought the show was still set in the early 1940s. I was floored when I saw it and it was set in the present. I see the recording was produced by Robert Sher. He certainly didn't pay for the recording, so he had to raise the funding. Lerner and Strouse may have put money into it, and I don't know how soon after closing the recording was actually made.
-
Good
morning - oh, damn it to HELL - afternoon, all.
-
I've been busier than all get-out this morning. I came up to my desk at 9 a.m. and it's taken till after NOON to get caught up making a phone call, sending emails, replying to other emails, and even accepting yet another show gig for May.
I keep saying "After such-and-such, I'm done for a while", and then another thing comes along. I guess I really shouldn't complain, right?

I am so sorry to read this. What a sad and horrible ordeal.
It's one thing when your beloved companion is old and has health issues and you know the end is coming. But how horrible, if surgery was tried and it didn't succeed. HUGE vibes of comfort for FDR Edisaurus.

Were you just browsing them yourself, DR Jrand74, or was this in reply to someone else shopping around for a TV? Those prices are incredible. But I'm completely out of touch with what TV machinery costs nowadays.
-
I've seen The Beast With Five Fingers, but I think only a couple of times - and years ago - because my memories of much of it are pretty vague.
-
Dance a Little Closer was in previews on my second visit to New York. Somehow I noticed Alan Jay Lerner leaving the theater after a preview and stepped into an elevator at the Marquis Marriott with him and others on the show’s creative team. I had picked up a Playbill someone had discarded. He asked if I had seen the show. I lied and said I enjoyed it.
I don’t know if I would have enjoyed the show, but I love Charles Strouse’s music for it. There are four or five songs I really love, especially There’s Always One You Can’t Forget and I Never Want to See You Again.
-
Wasn’t that Brent Barrett’s Broadway debut?
-
DR CHAS SMITH I just happened to go down that aisle to get to the food for the pair of keets and I was surprised at the prices.
I remember MR BK was talking about getting a 4K TV to see some new Blu Rays -
I doubt with the tariffs we will ever see such low prices in the near future.....but I just don't NEED another TV.
-
I saw this posted (by Andrew Milner) on FB.
Very quick but fun and cute.

Oy! I decided to join or friend as many cat sites or animal rescue groups I could cozy up to on Facebook, Instagram, TilTok, Bluesky, and X, so that when Annabelle & Thatch is published, I can do a big blitz for potential buyers. On X, just now, I trned down several cats because their posts were too coy for words:
Blair is a pretty tuxedo cat and this is his post: hi mine name bur. i thimk im…8…? emorgé from forests’s fier to ambolish prisom's.

~~~HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, DR JANE & DH KEITH!!!~~~
-
A nap was had, at long last.
-
We missed the 2 Coachella weekends, but this weekend will be a Country dealie.
-
So far, though, not as crowded in town. People or traffic. I am not complaining.
-
Congratulations on the MMM, BK.

Coachella could be one of Tevye's daughters in a Fiddler update, if you read it to scan like Chavaleh.

Great modern major miracle news!

Congrats to MR BK on the MMM.

I am seeing recently a Bounty commercial featuring music from Pirates of Penzance which always makes me laugh.
So my question for ASK BK DAY:
What was your exposure to Gilbert & Sullivan?

The album says it was recorded on May 25, two weeks after it opened/closed.
I suspected Lerner and/or Strouse paid for the recording and then eventually found someone to release it. Especially with Lerner's wife as the female lead.
-
The CD offers in memoriam credits to Lerner and Frederick Brisson, "without whose talents and perseverance there would be no show and no recording."

All Dear Readers are welcome to chime in.
G&S is what converted me from a trumpeter to a singer. They put the trumpets and trombones onstage for the entrance of the peers in Iolanthe and it seemed to me the stage was better than the pit. Plus I had gotten as good as I was ever going to get as a trumpeter, so singing opened up new adventures and new repertoire.
-
So my stage debut was the following year as a chorister in Utopia Ltd.
-
Frederick Brisson? The Lizard of Roz?
-
Pirates! The Penzance Musical, adapted by Rupert Holmes, opens on The Broad Way tomorrow night.
-
My introduction to G&S was seeing the 1939 color film version of The Mikado on TV in glorious black and white. I'm thinking this was around 1962/1963, based on where we were living. At some point, though, I also saw the Groucho Marx/Bell Telephone Hour version. IMDb says that was broadcast in 1960, and I wonder if it was ever shown again. If only 1960, then that was my first exposure to the piece, even though I always think of that Kenny Baker film as being the first. Anyhoo, I was very quickly hooked, and I soon began acquiring the D'oyly Carte recordings and eventually the vocal scores. In fact, those vocal scores led me to discovering Broadway ones. The Mikado, Pirates, and Pinafore were my first loves, followed by Iolanthe. I saw the D'oyly Carte on tour in my first year at school in Cleveland, doing Mikado and Iolanthe, and I think it was the year before that that their filmed-on-stage version of the former made the rounds while I was in high school, and I went to that a few times, transfixed. Years later I saw Dudley Moore play Koko at the Wiltern in L.A. in the touring Jonathan Miller production which I really loved at the time. I need to watch that again.
-
Frederick Brisson? The Lizard of Roz?
The very one. I came to G&S from singing highlights in high school chorus. By the tine I was a senior I had heard excerpts from HMS Pinafore and the complete Mikado. As a college freshman, I discovered the recording library. and once a week I would check out a vocal score from the music library and go to the music library to hear a complete score. My favorites were Iolanthe and The Yeoman of the Guard. My first G&S recording was the EMI-Angel The Yeoman of the Guard, and by the time I graduated I had all of the complete EMI sets available in the USA. I then started buying the complete London-Decca D'Oyly Carte recordings with dialogue, although much of the acting in the dialogue wasn't too good. At that time, too, Richmond, the Decca budget label, was releasing all the early monaural reocordings, and I fell in love with Ella Hallman, Margaret Mitchell, Darrel Fancourt, and Alan Styler.

I've never seen the 1939 film, but around 1966, there was a new D'Oyly Carte film of The Mikado with Valerie Masterson as Yum-Yum. I saw that. I saw the Groucho Marx abridgement abd loved it. Great cast: Helen Traubel, Robert Rounseville, Barbara Meister, who later played Maria in the first national tour of The Sound of Music.
-
The junior high where I grew up out on Gilbert & Sullivan shows every year. My brother was the captain of the Pinafore one year and was so proud. He was awesome and I like to think he would have been a star today. Unfortunately, he did not live to be a part of the Mikado the next year, though my sister was Pitty Pat. A couple years later another sister was Buttercup.
-
I still have my D’Oyly Carte Pinafore LP set.
-
I will shamefully say that I had nor have much exposure to Gilbert and Sullivan. I don't think I've ever seen any Gilbert and Sullivan thing all the way through. I know I saw a bit of Groucho in The Mikado and I have the Criterion DVD of The Mikado. Never have seen any version of Pirates.

DR RODZINSKI this is new family information....most interesting and worthy of exploration.
-
MR BK I am most surprised at your lack of experience in G/S as I would think it would be most right up your alley.
I highly suggest that you explore and direct a production of HMS Pinafore.....or if not....at least play a part in the show....especially Sir Joseph Porter.....but I cannot fault you because I ignored them all until I worked on them.
Most excellent posts from DR CHAS SMITH and DR ELMORE.
-
DR RODZINSKI the D'Oyly Carte recording of HMS PINAFORE was the one I purchased to work on my first production.
I still have it....it is glorious!
-
DR MICHAEL G - what a great story!
-
My G&S introduction was seeing the summer music camp productions of Patience one year and The Grand Duke the next. I'm glad they were in that order!

The 1985 production that woke me up.

That would be the filmed-on-stage movie I thrilled to a year or so before going off to Cleveland and seeing that production live.
The Criterion release that BK mentioned is the 1939 film with Kenny Baker as Nanki-Poo and Martyn Green as Koko.

Amazing, that a junior high school would carry on a G&S tradition. Those were the days. Try finding that now. Maybe...somewhere in the world?

The Mikado is the only G/S that I can't appreciate.....but I am sure that is only ME.

Buttercup is a wonderful role........

Her reveal at the end is wonderful!

Former DR Edisaurus's cat Major was euthanized yesterday. He was suffering from surgery, diabetes, and cancer, and her hopes to bring him home alive never happened. She posted this photo six hours ago on Facebook. She realized that in 12 years of loving and living with Major, she had many photos of him, but not one with her, so one of the technicians took this yesterday.
My heart breaks for her.

At one getting place there was a 43" 4K tv for $138 and a 53" 4K tv for $238.....so you ight check your local WalMart if you are in the market for one.
I don't think I would have it delivered - but go to the store and purchase it. Most of the bad reviews are from folks who got a broken tv set delivered.
Yikes! :o Not much worse than any item broken during delivery.

I've been cooking for a long time, but I'm a newbie to baking. Yesterday I baked my first-ever chocolate cake from scratch and brought it into our opera chorus rehearsal. It was a hit!
Congrats, Michael!
-
One of my fellow choristers has never had a lemon drizzle cake and loves lemon desserts, so that will probably be next since I haven't shared it with the chorus before.
That sounds very good!
-
Except that DR John G has a blue dress.
It’s a skirt. But I am glad it was memorable.
Trying to keep within the parameters of a family site, but if a man wore an Alice Blue Gown, could a possible parody title be Phallus Blue Gown? (Asking for a friend.)

I was in high school, ushering for Actors Theatre, when they staged a G&S bio musical called Tarantara! Tarantara! I had a ticket gor the student dress rehearsal, which was an overproduced mess at 4 hours. I fell in love with this new music and watched it twice more as they cut it down to 2.45 hours. It never worked but I was hooked.
-
Missed it.
-
Four hours!!!!
An eternity reserved for Dance Recitals.

Happy relationship anniversary to DR JANE & KEITH.

Don't forget the little people!

Happy Anniversary, Jeith!

I used to work on the Playbills for everything at NY City Center, and there was the annual run of NYGASP, the New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players. Just checked to see if they still exist, and they do, though they have not been in a venue as big as City Center in many years, it seems.
-
Happy Anniversary, Jeith!
LOL, thank you.

Theater Artists Olympia produced a locally written musical version of Night of the Living Dead that, on the night before our one and only preview ran three hours and forty-five minutes!
-
FORTUNATELY, the next night with the audience, it ran a solid three hours just from energy and picking up the pace and not cutting anything! Eventually, it settled around 2:45 by the end of the run.

Nice!

Fresh out of the oven.

The first is sour cherry. The back one is blueberry.

Watching a surreal Charley Chase. He plays a woman-shy professor who has to teach at a women’s college in which all of the women are sex starved cuties. He has visions of their barely clad legs dancing in his brain.

Yummy!!

Back from dinner with the Pearls. Black Angus Steak House. I found most of the food very ordinary, and the NY steak was almost inedible. Salad was fine, shrimp cocktail was fine, mac and cheese was okay - creme brûlée was fine. Steak - like rubber - tough to cut, tough to chew, flavorless, and the Béarnaise was runny and awful.
-
Cindy enjoyed her food, but Barry did not have a good experience, as they burned a potato casserole and had to remake it and they told him they'd redo his steak so it would come out hot. That took fifteen minutes and the steak hadn't been remade. They comped his meal.
-
Can't say that I need to go back.
-
But conversation was fun.
-
I came right home afterwards.
-
Afterwards I came right home.
-
Maybe I'll try and find something to watch.
-
Maybe I just will.
-
Meanwhile, let's get off this damn page.
-
Can we?
-
Shall we?
-
Will we?
-
Could we?
-
Should we?
-
Yes!
-
Damn them, damn them all to HELL.
-
Well, we did it.

Now let's get off THIS damn page.

Interesting article on the late Pope's musical tastes.

Finishing up Potterism, which is both wonderful for 1920 and a little too much of its time.
-
Good night, all.
-
Good night, friends.
-
And others.

I would hope that they comped his meal! :-\

Hmm...no Manhattan Transfer. ::)

;D
-
Tonight's Into the Woods rehearsal went well...for the most part.
-
They choreographed the end of the opening section, and the end of the finale.
-
The choreographer, Melanie, accidentally left her notes for one other section that she wanted to teach tonight, but Jed, the director, was able to rejigger next week's rehearsals to cover the parts that were missed tonight.
-
Melanie and I met when we were in A Christmas Story together a few years ago...and she was the choreographer for that, too.
-
After the sections that Melanie worked on, everyone were able to leave except the two princes, and Jed staged both their versions of "Agony."
-
I think it's gonna be good.
-
It still, of course, needs work (we just started rehearsals), but there's definitely the beginnings of a good production.
-
In my humble opinion.
-
One more...
-
Gratuitous Post #200!!
-
Tomorrow, we won't have rehearsal at the theater.
-
The current show, The Curious Savage, is having their Pay-What-You-Can performance, so we'll be at a local church where we had the initial get together.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
-
They were eclectic.
-
They talked of this and that.
-
Will no one rid me of this meddlesome page?

See?
