Well, you've read the notes, the notes were classic and discovered, and now it is time for you to post until the classic cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PLENARY!
-
Happy Birthday to (occasional) DR Ann! :D
-
TOD: For some reason, it took way too long for me to just watch "Sophie's Choice" all the way through.
-
Is that too modern to be called a "classic" for the TOD?
-
Or maybe it's more that the performance is considered a classic than the whole movie in the case of "Sophie's choice."
-
I also have seen the classic "Nothing Sacred" in sections a lot over time, but never start to finish. (For theater experts and even many Jule Styne fans: That's the story that became the musical "Hazel Flagg." )
-
Yet I watched its remake "Living It Up" (not considered a classic, but really enjoyable ) with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis a number of times.
-
I loved Living It Up when I saw it as a kid.
-
Why I oughta...
-
Listening to a wonderful French composer I've never heard of - eight symphonies, all wonderful - Charles Tournemire. They're all on the Tube of You, but first watch A Carol Christmas because we need a little Christmas, right this very minute.
-
I suppose I'll have my nightly shower.
-
Yes, I suppose I will.
-
I'm thinking about issuing a foreign cast album on CD, just for fun.
-
BK - The actual Kerr "Cabaret" review is right here at this link, if you have any free Times clicks left. Otherwise, maybe a new free-click amount of Times articles starts for you on the 1st of the new month.
Here's the review.

I can't figure out how to cut and paste this. Maybe someone else can send it to you or take a screen shot?
-
Jane, thanks for asking. And continued thanks fir all the healing vibes. He's doing Ok enough (though not nearly all that great yet) to don aloft Liam's walks as of Monday (or was it afternoon Sunday).
-
He says it is frustrating that once in a while, there are people who do not respect the six-feet-rule (or I guess even the two-feet rule, if there was one) and follow too closely even when it's mentioned. This happened when he was entering the building at one point Monday.
-
Since I slept six hours, trying to decide if I'm just up early, or just taking a break from sleeping.
-
I'm thinking about issuing a foreign cast album on CD, just for fun.
Is it an actual foreign language cast album? That would be cool...assuming that it's a foreign language cast album of a known musical. ;D
-
I'm amazed that there' are these fully-done good quality news shows for the audience at 4 in the morning.
Are they for insomniacs or for the 1 a.m. West Coast audience for whim 1 a.m. there is just late night TV?
-
I'm thinking about issuing a foreign cast album on CD, just for fun.
I love the Hebrew "King and I."which was co-translated by Naomi Shemer, one of the great Israeli writers we studied in school, and at least for the album, she matches Hammerstein with the beauty of language. And really elevates "A Puzzlement" and :Shall I Tell You What I Think of You" somehow. I'm not sure the more eloquent King in "Puzzlement" is correct based on what Hammerstein had created, but as a lyric, she brings the magic she always brought to her own non-translation writing.
-
Yes, a VERY famous musical in a foreign language. We shall see.
-
I was nosing around online and found that you can order from my beloved Thai place Talesai via Grubhub so I just did - Thai salad with peanut dressing and their great chicken pad thai. So, that will arrive by two o'clock. Very excited. Not free delivery, but only three bucks so...
-
Still need to shower but am waiting for the current symphony to finish, which is three minutes from now.
-
Yes, a VERY famous musical in a foreign language. We shall see.
Can't wait to find out what it is...assuming you actually release it.
-
The Hebrew "Hello Dolly" has an emotional history, in that the Dolly, Hanna Marron, was a while later on her way to be seen for Golde in the "Fiddler" film - and was apparently a leading candidate for the role - when her vehicle was bombed during the war.
She came back as a stage performer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanna_Maron even after losing her leg, and lived until 2014 at 90. - but that made a film career not happen. She's said have one of the longest stage careers ever.
-
CNN's "Early Start" show at this hour ihas gotten as elaborate as its shows during the day. I guess they'll re-use a lot of these segments during the high-viewing time, though.
I guess people who actually leave (in nirmaltimes) to work at 6 a.m. are a good market for advertisers too.
-
I can’t sleep! I blame Jose. Or Freddie. Or BK.
-
I don’t know what the reason is for being awake.
-
I didn’t even have any coffee yesterday.
-
I always loved the Catholic FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, featuring Mother Teresa in one of her only film roles. Ironically, she plays The Rabbi.
-
Fred, please give Skip my very best wishes and rapid recovery.
-
Well, Nicky can’t sleep tonight either.
-
I hope to take Nick in on Wednesday to start his insulin.
-
T.O.D.
Hmm, that is a tough question. Probably, ANNIE HALL or CHINATOWN.
-
I suppose I could have said THE MATCHMAKER. Actually, that wasn’t my fault. I was watching the movie, but a half hour into the film, the theater caught fire.
And there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that my empty Jube jubes box was used as the accelerant!
-
Nick is yelling at me to turn off the light, so I shall.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I had a fantastic night of sleep along with a fantastic number of dreams. I only remember bits and pieces now:
1. I was working at Barnes & Noble, fought with a manager and quit.
2. I was at the Library of Congress.
3. I was driving on Route 4 in Middletown, Ohio, on my way to a party at Al Gore's home; Mrs Gore was a wonderful hostess/
-
I wrote checks and paid five bills. I ran out of stamps, so tomorrow, when my pension lands in the bank, I need a trip to a post office. I think I will make a market run at the same time.
-
Something's afoot with Babes In Toyland. I do not yet know what.
-
I got an email yesterday afternoon asking for a good time to discuss the edition.
-
I loved All the King's Men! I finally saw it a couple of years ago.
-
TOD

Good morning, all.
-
Kitty cleanup over, I can have my second cuppa coffee before I make the bed. The cats are quite frisky this morning. Stella and Annabelle helped me with the litter, and now the three of them are tearing through their cat tunnel.
-
Good morning, all.
Good morning, DR ChasSmith!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Just had an email. Looks like the Babes in Toyland meeting is on for tomorrow.
-
I did not want to get out of bed.

I watched TIGER KING last night which was very strange.....
-
I did not want to roll over and start work.
-
Vibes for Nicky.
-
Well, guess what else I just took off the shelf to watch.
ALL THE KING’S MEN. Which joins SHIP OF FOOLS in the watch pile. And these join NASHVILLE for a second look with the Altman commentary.
Based on BK’s report, I’m glad I bought that Twilight Time. And seriously, I have TTs and Criterions and too many other fine releases — many if not most of which would meet the definition of classic — that eluded me (or is it I who eluded them?) not only back in the day, but which have continued to do so right here on my shelf. It’s shameful. My list would be a long one. Well, let’s see what others confess to, and maybe I’ll have a go at it.
-
Thank you, DR Jrand69. I’ll try those when I’m at the computer later.

TOD:
The Sting

Just had an email. Looks like the Babes in Toyland meeting is on for tomorrow.
May it be a good one!

Senior Shopping was not as crowded today.
I bought some bananas, ground beef [meatloaf is in the oven], cookies, TP for my sister, cookies, ice cream sandwiches, Lysol disinfectant spray.....and a few other things.....
I had wine in my cart....but it could not be purchased until 7:01 a.m. so it was left behind in the checkout stand orphan bin.....
-
I bit the bullet and signed up for the free 30 days....and indeed my card was NOT charged.....and I wrote on April 27 on my calendar....CANCEL NEWSPAPERS.COM.....
-
Page Three Dance.
-
It has always been my policy that no one kisses the face unless they kiss the snake....I must be in a Sacha Guitry movie......
-
Vibes for SKIP.
-
Folks on the morning news are practicing yoga.....the weatherman is the best.
-
A couple of last night’s dreams were weird...
One had me and several friends being questioned by a cop as to why we were waiting in two parked cars outside another friend’s house at the beginnings of dawn. It was all very friendly.
The other is indescribable, even to mine own self. Something about this small animal that I think was a rare sea creature, and there was some kind of musical process going on that would result in a change of behavior in this creature...
Oy!
-
I hope you remembered to buy cookies, DR Jrand69.
-
It has always been my policy that no one kisses the face unless they kiss the snake....I must be in a Sacha Guitry movie......
I sometimes think we all are.

TOD 1:
I don’t rely on full memory this early in the morning:
A King in New York
Monsieur Verdoux
The Stranger
The Crowd
Greed
Repulsion
Les Demoiselles de Rochefort
Andre Rublev
Renoir’s The Lower Depths
Judex
Sundays and Cybelle
-
I like that the essay stopped at 1,499 words. Always leave them wanting more!
-
. I was driving on Route 4 in Middletown, Ohio, on my way to a party at Al Gore's home; Mrs Gore was a wonderful hostess/
They love her at all the restaurants. Rumor is she's a great tipper.

Something's afoot with Babes In Toyland. I do not yet know what.
Is that one of the projects Skip worked for you guys on? Or was that Roberta?
-
I’ve had my share of celebrities and other famous people dreams, but I always have to credit my meeting and escorting Mikhail Gorbachev as the most extraordinary.
-
Thanks again for all the vibes for Skip. He goes back to get it all looked at Friday or Monday. What's not clear is whether he foes back to the place where he was treated last Thursday or somewhere uptown.
As Countess Charlotte almost sang in Weekend In the Country: He'll go masked.
-
Or at least they'll give him a mask at the door if he calls ahead.
That reads like it could be a line from "Eyes Wide Shut." But they're still rationing the masks.
-
I did not want to roll over and start work.
Speculations on that comment are endless!
-

No.

As Hopkins said to Jefferson in "1776," Give her. a good one for me, young feller.'
Or am I thinking Mickey Rooney in "Sugar Babies."

Well, I could have several forms of work from home.

What is the worst thing about wearing a colostomy bag?

Finding a purse to match.

yes cookies were purchased.....just one bag as there are two in the cabinet from last week awaiting their turn in the jar......

I'm so nosy I'm surorised I never asked.
As they'd ask in my folks' community in Florida: is there a Mrs, Griffin?
-
Meatloaf and potatoes out of the oven.....I added some fresh tomato wedges on top as it rests.....under foil.....
-
When the neighbor lady asked "Is there a Mrs. Landau," my mom. knew to chime in, "I'm Mrs. Landau" before I answered.
-
It was very interesting, that when Mom was in the hospital, we could talk about Skip, even look at the wedding photos, very freely no matter who was in the room.,
But in North Miami Beach, there's always an unspoken reminder that while Florida accepts gay marriage (nevus it ws forced to by the Supreme Court in 2013), bias based on being gay is still not illegal.
-
Meatloaf and potatoes out of the oven.....
You took words right out of my mouth.
-
In Aventura, two miles from my folks, everyone is welcomed and accepted.
But if you want to be biased against gay people, North Miami Beach is just a $9 cab ride away.
It's like you need a device as you're driving, which town it's ok to stop at a diner in.
-
I don't think I've even slept an hour - really struggling with either acid reflux or something not agreeing with me - you know how it feels like you're gonna throw up - you don't, but you get that yucky burning stuff in your throat, which is happening right now.
-

As it has been written, this virus is like STDs without at least having had the fun part.

I got NewspaperArchive mixed up with Newspapers.com......the former is where I am.....the latter is much easier to use....
Oh well.....FREE.......

Happy Birthday, Shirley Jones.

Tuesday morning greetings! It's been a busy day already. We picked up this week's Kroger order and put away our purchases. I'm now at my computer, ready to attend my noon book discussion.

I never even heard of that one! (Have we talked about it here?) But I'll certainly check it out.

Sad news today, for those who liked or loved the works of children's author Tomie dePaola. He died yesterday, apparently from compilations following surgery after a fall.
It's so weird how I learned this, not ten minutes after coming across the files containing my materials for the show we did with him and Mother Dolores Hart at the Abbey a few summers ago. He was so nice to get to know for a few days, and we all had a fine time putting that show (a play with music) together.
I was literally just transferring a bunch of files from one drive to another, saw the folder containing my materials, and hadn't thought about that in a couple of years. A few minutes later, someone told me he died.
-
Well, the book discussion was great. There were only 5 of us, but it was so-o-o-o nice to see friends' faces! We even had someone new.
Now I'm off for some lunch.
-

At your building, that is exceptionally annoying. I am glad Skip is improving.

Same here on the crowds. It is still stressful.
No disinfectant, not that I can tolerate Lysol spray. We got a 4 pack of TP and a 2 pack of paper towels. I purchased a small coffee ice cream but they are still out of vanilla bean.
I take it back, they did have clorox toilet cleaner.
-
On the way home from Safeway, where we did get most of what we wanted, we stopped at Fred Meyer. It too had fewer people today. No santitizers of any kind. I did get my eye drops and now don't have to worry about a delay in my delivery. They didn't have any cleaning products we wanted.
-
DR Jeanne, both stores had Method hand soap. Only Safeway had the foam, however, it they didn't have the coconut scent I like. We picked up a different scent. I think I will have Keith use it since he doesn't care.
-
I am surprised wine could not be purchased at that early hour.

That's great. The video worked well.
-
Today’s Weill is Johnny Johnson. I never miss a Burgess Meredith musical.
-
Good day
-
Just finished lunch and must be off back to work in a nonce.
-
Lunch was turkey and Muenster with some garden tomato Vidalia onion dressing, in a grilled wrap
-
Another busy day at work
-
I went to BJs this morning for old people shopping
-
I bought a 24 pack of TP
-
There were no cleaning supplies
-
I was able to get a package of bread, a package of bagels and a bag of apples
-
Also a 10 pack of tuna

Tomie dePaola and Mother Dolores Hart, June 2017.

T.O.D.
I think I've seen every classic movie that I want to see.
There may have been some foreign language movies that I've missed, but none that I can think of.
-
Tomie dePaola and Mother Dolores Hart, June 2017.
Nice photo.
-
Lunch was turkey and Muenster with some garden tomato Vidalia onion dressing, in a grilled wrap
I wonder why I never think of buying Muenster. I used to always have it around for sandwiches and whatnot in California, and I don't think I've bought it once in my thirty years here.
I guess I love a nice imported Swiss and a good sharp cheddar too much to ever let them go.
-
I remember when you did that show DR CHAS SMITH.
The format of NewspaperArchive is clumsier and more difficult to navigate and it doesn't have as many newspapers.....but as I said....FREE.....
-
DR JANE that is a lovely card....
-
It’s on to The Eternal Road, which is what I feel I’ve been journeying on all day.
-
It’s on to The Eternal Road, which is what I feel I’ve been journeying on all day.
I saw a staging of The Eternal Road at the Brooklymn Academy of Music. It was endless.
-
I'm up, I'm up - again. Three hours of sleep - so, that's four total.
-
It’s on to The Eternal Road, which is what I feel I’ve been journeying on all day.
I saw a staging of The Eternal Road at the Brooklymn Academy of Music. It was endless.
So is the work day. And the CD. And I still have 25 more minutes to go.
-
Did a few tiny adjustments and sent the essay in. I gather it's a Brit book called 50 Key Musicals.
-
I bought a 24 pack of TP
Congrats!

I do not like Muenster. cheese. If a restaurant offers it I ask if I can substitute Jack cheese if they have it. Sharp cheddar is too sharp for me. At home I purchase Colby/Jack to get the mix of Jack & mild cheddar.
-
DR JANE that is a lovely card....
And big too ;D
-
We returned from a walk just minutes before a downpour.
-
Food arrived thirty minutes early. The salad I love I wouldn't order again - it's a bit soggy by the time it got here. The pad Thai on the other hand is incredible.
-
Was the salad already tossed in the dressing? If so you could ask for it on the side next time.
-
What is this new musical Cabernet that everyone here is talking about? It sounds very interesting and entertaining.....
-
I spent the day writing an A & T story, and then I had cheeseburgers for dinner. Very tasty!
-
As of 11:00 today my county has 116 confirmed cases.
-
Tonight's a Miss Fisher mystery night. I'm really bummed about the new movie. I wish now I had gone ahead and made the trip on the weekend before the surgery to see it.
-
The Orange Ass in the White House is spreading more monotonous bullshit in his press conference at the moment. The fat idiot makes me want to throw things through the screen. I just want to read his obituary.
-
DR Ginny, i see Butler County now has a confirmed case.
-
Tonight's a Miss Fisher mystery night. I'm really bummed about the new movie. I wish now I had gone ahead and made the trip on the weekend before the surgery to see it.
Sorry but maybe it is just as well you did not go to a movie theater.
-
Cook county where Bryan lives & works is 4,496 cases making our numbers not seem as bad.
-
And then there is New York City. DR elmore no wonder I am glad you didn't go to the movies.
-
Salad came dressed, yes, and that was probably the problem. But I don't need the salad next time - the Pad Thai was very filling.
-
What is this new musical Cabernet that everyone here is talking about? It sounds very interesting and entertaining.....
When they sing "Come taste the wine" - is that the Cabernet?

Not needing the salad makes take out easier.

It's a vintage musical.
-
The cats had their treat, and I've cleaned their bowls. I need to leave them fresh water in the bathroom and I can close up shop for the night.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
I'm very pleased to be able to watch A CAROL CHRISTMAS again and also that those DRs who haven't seen it can do so. However, I feel that it really should be seen LIVE. I'm thankful there's a recording, but it's such a good show, such a FUN show, and I'd like people to see it live in a theater.

It's currently streaming on Acorn TV, but I suspect it may reach Netflix at some point. Do you have either?

Today I found the allergy mask I bought a couple years ago, but have never used. I knew it was in the linen closet, but the linen closet is the go-to place for everything that doesn't have a home. I was hoping to not have to pull everything out to find it. Fortunately, I found it without having to take out too much. When I bought it, of course, I had no idea we'd have to deal with a global pandemic. It's washable and adjustable, and should do the job.

Thanks. We picked up two different scented soaps. I opened them & put them next to the two coconut ones we have and told Keith to use the new scents & leave these for me. He doesn't really care.

I did, thank you.

Picked up some barbecue for dinner. Ribs, brisket and sausage with mac and cheese on the side.
-
The drive did me good.
-
I must do a little drive in a bit, just to keep the motor car in fit shape.
-
Now at home watching W.C. Fields in The Bank Dick.
-
I have just been reassigned my first concert. It’s for the Beach Boys, and it’s in November.
-
DR John I saw a video on facebook and thought of you. Unfortunately I can't open it to post here. A man is having fun dancing and his partner is his reflection in the mirror.
-
Elmore, did you know David Schramm? He was in the Finian's Rainbow revival you worked on. He was also Mr. Mister in The Cradle Will Rock revival with Patti LuPone. Oh, and a TV show called Wings. He died this week.

I suffered through a fair share of it. Suffer, I tell you. I just don't have the capacity I once had, though. I may have lunch and dinner from the leftovers. I did finish all of the mac and cheese.

I have just been reassigned my first concert. It’s for the Beach Boys, and it’s in November.
You're assigned ushering that far ahead? Wow. When things are normal, on the 15th of each month, we only get the schedule for the next month. Even if something is known to be happening far in advance, they only schedule ushers and concessionaires for the next month.
-
The first half of Fort Apache has been excellent. I need to find a break in the action though and watch the rest tomorrow.
-
Picked up some barbecue for dinner. Ribs, brisket and sausage with mac and cheese on the side.
Oh. Sorry to hear it. Poor fellow.

Today, I went to the Tumwater Red Wagon (https://www.redwagonburgers.com/) and got their bacon cheeseburger. It's so good! ;D
-
I had a filled out stamp card, so I also got fries and a drink (diet Pepsi) for free! Those were also very good, but I ate too much! :P I got it around 4:30, but I won't be able to eat again until tomorrow.

And in the Positive Thoughts department,

Hi, John and jan.
-
As of 11:00 today my county has 116 confirmed cases.
:(
-
Cook county where Bryan lives & works is 4,496 cases making our numbers not seem as bad.
Yikes! :o

Food arrived thirty minutes early. The salad I love I wouldn't order again - it's a bit soggy by the time it got here. The pad Thai on the other hand is incredible.
Was the salad already tossed in the dressing? If so you could ask for it on the side next time.
Every time I've gotten salads to go, the restaurants have automatically had the dressing on the side. I've never had to ask. :-\
-
We returned from a walk just minutes before a downpour.
It was hailing here, earlier this afternoon! Then it was fairly sunny, then it rained again, and now it's just overcast with bits of sky peeking through as it gets darker.

Gratuitous Post #200!

On the way home from Safeway, where we did get most of what we wanted, we stopped at Fred Meyer. It too had fewer people today. No santitizers of any kind. I did get my eye drops and now don't have to worry about a delay in my delivery. They didn't have any cleaning products we wanted.
I went to Fred Meyer yesterday and they had a couple of racks at the ends of a couple of aisles that had sample-sized hand sanitizers in various scents. I got one with lavender scent and one with lemon and tea tree oil. They both smell rather nice. :)
-
Just had an email. Looks like the Babes in Toyland meeting is on for tomorrow.
Good Luck, Larry!

Topic of the Day...pretty much everything that's already been mentioned, except that I have seen these:
Chinatown
Les Demoiselles de Rochefort
The Matchmaker
Zorba the Greek

Well, I just got a text from my sister that she has some fresh baked Nestlé Toll House M&M and almond cookies! Twist my arm! I'm off to my sister's! :D

Hi, John and jan.
Hi, George.
-
I ended up taking another unplanned nap
-
I had defrosted some chicken today and as soon as I got home from work I put it in to marinate in shiitake mushroom sesame seed dressing
-
By time I woke up at 8 it was nicely marinated and I cooked it up in a skillet with mushrooms.
-
Teriyaki rice was the starch
-
And I steamed some broccoli and then tossed it in the skillet with some garlic, sesame seeds and red pepper flakes and a drop of the dressing
-
And then we ate almost all of it up
-
There was enough left over for my lunch tomorrow
-
I am very sorry to hear about Tommie DePaola , I remember reading his stories to the Vixter when she was only a tiny Vixling
-
Listening to a German cast recording of Die Dreigroschenoper (3Penny Opera) with Rene Kollo as Macheath and Ute Lemper as Polly Peachum. I don't know that I've ever listened to it all the way through before (another dollar purchase). I really like it. And the diction is so good, I can understand a little of the German. Thankfully, the booklet has a German/English libretto side by side.
-
When 3Penny opened, Vienna had a hit with Lehar's Fridericke while London had Jesse Matthews singing Noel Coward's A Room with a View. Room for all, it seems.
-
Good night, all.
-
Watched another movie. Haven't heard a peep since I sent in the essay so maybe they've read it and hate it.
-

I'm home and the cookies were good! I, of course, brought a few home with me. ;D
-
Took a ten-minute drive. A few cars on the road going who knows where. Restaurants dark but my favorite little pizza joint was open so that's an option for a meal at some point, but not slices - would have to be a pie.
-
Ralph's was still open and didn't look too busy, actually.

I was surprised the dressing was not on the side.

Well, this is a pretty cool video: Camera Three: The Making of a Musical: Do I Hear a Waltz? - 1965 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQq03as6M28).

Do you have more packages to pick up while you are there?

I admit not looking there. It seems kind of sneaky to me ;D
-
I wouldn't want lavender but lemon would be nice.

I don't think that there has been any deliveries since last week, so probably not until everything is opened up again. :-\
-
DR George do you recall what section the sample sizes were in?

Keith worked for Prentice Hall and remembers taking Strega Nona home from work. I forgot to see if we still have it.

Sorry. Does this mean some of your orders were returned?
-

Not specifically. It was near the back of the store (here in Tumwater), and across from the refrigerated dairy cases.

I hope not! Hopefully, the post office is holding onto packages! I don't know how much they can hold, or if things will be sent back, but I hope that they're not.

Listening to Clebanoff do Broadway tunes - I do love these kinds of albums.

The stereo field is VERY wide.

Maybe you will find slips saying where to pick up the packages. The post office should be open.

Definitely hiding them. Thanks.

The post office is open, but our building isn't...at least, the mail clerk hasn't been there since last week. And since the delivery address is my work address, not my personal residential address, I found that can't redirect any of my packages. I just have to wait to see what is delivered when my building finally does open and we let the post office know that we're open.

Good evening.

I can’t get Nicky in for the insulin until next Thursday.

I hope he can last that long.

I signed up for Zoom today.
-
I had never heard of it.
-
But we are having an online meeting of cast, crew, and staff tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m.
-
I am assuming that we won’t go back into rehearsal next Wednesday.
-
Nor, do I expect we will open May 1.
-
Supposedly they have a new plan to discuss with us.

Hi, Tom.
