DRs, I wonder if by any chance one of you might have the sheet music for Andy Williams' "It's the most wonderful time of the year"? If so, could you scan it and email it to me? I was sure I had a copy but I cannot put my hands on it.

I probably had it years ago, but no more. I searched my usual nefarious and morally reprehensible online sources, to no avail. These kinds of popular songs seem to be the hardest things to find free copies of since every damned site has it to sell. If you have to go that route, I know FDR Jose always recommends Sheet Music Direct for most authentic arrangements etc.

The irony is, I orchestrated it for Brent Barrett's Christmas album, so I had it at one point! I'll go to the NYPL today and photocopy it.

Thanks for the additional vibes for my brother. He's going home today.

Ditto!
Today is also Leonard's Gotcha Day. He was crying in our backyard when we got home from the hospital.
I also have a bundt cake about to come out of the oven. I made it gluten free, just in case. I'm not in charge of this project, but the person in charge didn't think of it.
DR JohnG, your photos arrive with all of them having the same name of "image." My computer refuses to acknowledge more than one "image" so it will not download them all. If they were "Image 1, Image 2," etc., I would have no problems.
Work starts tomorrow at DUSK DR ELMORE.
Oh dear....the Hard Rock Hotel being built in New Orleans collapsed as they tried to install the air conditioning units.....

Jane, the next surgery is on Thursday and I'll be an outpatient, just like last time. I'll try to post when I get home.
It takes time and dedication to change your diet to healthier choices, but it really pays off in the long run. I have many health issues, but few are problems of aging. I can't tell you how glad I am that I cleaned up my diet early on!
What a nice surprise that DR Chas' original emcee was able to be back on stage! A lovely ending to a terrible incident.

Good evening.
There were only four best musical nominees - Quilters, Grind, Leader of the Pack, and the winner, Big River. For the first time in Tony history, three major categories had NO nominees and no awards were given - best actor and actress in a musical, and best choreography.

She had relatives seeing the show. As is the custom these days (not at MY productions, I can tell you), they didn't open the doors until about five minutes before curtain. So, curtain was actually ten minutes after the two o'clock start time.
When I began going to the theater regularly in 1961, doors opened promptly one half hour before curtain. And the people entered the theater an hour before if they so chose. A half-hour meant you could get your seat and read the program from cover to cover - that was part of the experience for me. I can't stand the idiocy on Broadway now, where they make you line up in front of the theater and don't open THOSE doors till half hour, if that, so there is just the craziness of everyone trying to get to their seats - HATE IT. Don't know exactly when they started doing that nonsense but it's within the last decade, maybe not even that long ago.
So, instead I am nibbling on some snack size Reese’s Peanut Butter Ghosts.
I promised to make up for having been E&T. I didn't want to get concerned calls of why I haven't been lifting my posting burden.
Anyway, I finally got all this stuff together, as for years, my dad had asked me not to bring any charges if my brother and nephew were going to be embarrassed while he and Mom were around, since the Viertels being involved could get any charges being filed covered. But once they leveled the fake violence claim against me and Dad realized it had to be my sister-in-law who was the source of what my brother had done being attributed ti me (Dad knows my brother has that history where I never did ever), Dad just said he won't stop it now that he's 99. None of us get why the amount of money from me being family executor could matter so much to Lady Joann Macbeth that she started plotting this in 2008, since they're richer than my parents.
Dad is horrified that Hilary and Joann are paying lawyers about his and Mom's assets in any way. Mom still refuses to believe they've ever had.a lawyer against my interests, let alone the lawyer who is advising Skip's collaborator!!! (They don't know from Encores or Jujamcyn, but they know Jack Viertel's name very well as Skip's co-writer of Time and Again since they came to pretty much everything back in the 1990s to show support - and thought they were both very social back then, Mom especially loved that the parties always seemed to be lots of fun, and Access-a-Ride made getting Manhattan so easy back then.)
As to Quilters - not really my cup of tea. Maybe it was this production, which had no pace at all was one of the problems. The director had acted in a production at the Laguna Theater in the 1980s, with Teri Ralston. Three of the ladies from that production were in attendance. I know the show has its devoted devotees - I found it too long and repetitious, and even though it calls itself a musical it really is a play with music, sans plot. It did well in its premiere in Denver and then at the Taper here in LA - a perfect theater for this kind of show - after a couple of other engagements, it went to Broadway, where it instantly folded after twenty-four performances. Interestingly, it was nominated for six Tony Awards, but the 1984/85 season was one of the all-time lowest for musicals. There were only four best musical nominees - Quilters, Grind, Leader of the Pack, and the winner, Big River. For the first time in Tony history, three major categories had NO nominees and no awards were given - best actor and actress in a musical, and best choreography. So, the show gets to brag it was up for six Tonys but all those nominations were to pad those categories. It's somewhat popular in stock and amateur productions - a good show for the six ladies (I gather you can do it with more if you like).

Fred, we could be on page 87 if you broke up your stories into more smaller posts! ;)
