Good morning DR Elmore. DR OzDerek sends you special greetings and thanks. (I think he will be asleep by now!)
My pleasure, Hisaka. Did you (or anyone else, for that matter) notice that you became a HHW God 16 posts (and four days) ago??
WELCOME TO THE HHW HEAVEANS!!
The Book That I Would Write:
Broadway Babylon -- The Seedy, Sordid, Torrid Untold Tales of the Great White Way!
Dear Diary, ...
You will be my Number One source for the book, DR Jose :)
Tonight's dinner, after I return from work and der B returns from tending the grandlads, will be roast leg of lamb. I'm about to get it started, not the actual roasting but the preparation: slivers of garlic and rosemary will be inserted into the flesh, and the whole will be slathered with Dijon mustard. We'll dine on this with roasted beets, roasted carrots, and roasted baby red potatoes.
The duck will have to wait. :-\
MattH, sounds like you had a wonderful NY trip! I am so looking forward to my NY trip in October!!!
Happy Birthday to DR Der Brucer!
Btw, I don't know if anybody mentioned this, but Adrien Brody is NOT in THE VILLAGE, that is Joaquin Phoenix. I actually really enjoyed this movie. I was actually scared! And unlike THE FORGOTTEN, i found the explanation very believable.
DR Jason - working on Rita.... should be out on Wednesday :)
DR Jason - You should have said "What state's Chicago in?" and seen if they'd follow up with "ILL" :)
Actually, the keys seem very "normal" to me. Nothing lower than Diahann Carroll. I think you'll be surprsed
Do you ever feel like you just want to move far away from your family???

I saw that tour of ASPECTS. Ron was pretty great, I thought. His high B-flat at the end of "Love Changes Everything" was something I can only hope to achieve in my lifetime.
I have a middling C-sharp you oughta hear!
Dan the Man, I want to read Broadway Babylon! Write it!
MattH, in your singer-dubbers book don't forget one of my favourite singers of all time, Buddy Clark, who used to dub Jack Haley and others.
DR MattH: I'm so glad you enjoyed SPELLING BEE. My friend Lisa plays Rona Lisa Piretti/Olive's Mother. It's truly surreal to see your pals in a Broadway show. At one point I knew four people in HAIRSPRAY all at the same time. Anyway, Lisa and I did MOBY DICK! together. Did I ever send you a copy of the CD? She's FABULOUS. Send me your address...I'll send you copy of the recording.
Alas... No response. Yet.
Did you say HI for/from me, DR Jason?
Thanks for the NYC travel update, DRMATT.
I am really happy to see constant contributor Matt H back from New York and posting again.
It's great to see enthusiastic reports of the shows he went there to see, too.
Things weren't the same without you, Matt!
Based on your review, DR MattH, perhaps I should get the recording...
Oh, CARNIVAL! is one of my all-time favorite shows seen in NYC. I was about 11 when I saw it, and I was enchanted from beginning to end. Couldn't wait to get the cast recording, and I played it until my family was so sick of hearing Anna Maria's voice that I could only play it when my dad was out of the house. Well, I guess "Mira" and "Yes, My Heart" would get old to someone who doesn't like show music and had to hear them dozens of times a day (at loud volume).
Speaking of CINDERELLA, just bought tickets for the Paper Mill CINDERELLA and HELLO DOLLY, even though no one's saying who's playing Dolly.
I did move far away from my family and they've found their way up here! Mom and dad visited NY for the first time in February and now they're already talking about coming back in October. Of course, this time they want to bring 4 or 5 of their friends with them!
Can I make it to 100 posts today, I wonder? It would be nice to be a Full Member. But do filler posts meant just to build up numbers of posts annoy other DR's?
I had an advocado and swiss cheese hamburger...
I think everyone here at HHW is deserving of special rats everywhere he goes.

DR George - thank you so much. I hope my extreme desperation to get to this plateau didn't appear too desperate.
Desperate much, Jose?
LOL DRJANE....maybe BeeGee will come to your house and ring your doorbell.
Yep, it will be my first visit to New York! In fact I have never been any further east then Bend, Oregon! LOL!
Cillaliz, Keith and I love the bat story, especially the description of your cats.
Bryan became rather adept at catching them while he lived in Ann Arbor. They would fly through the entrance of a large apartment complex he lived in.
DR Cillaliz, the next time you find a bat in your house, open one window or door and turn out all the lights. The bat will eventually fly out.
Or another one might fly in.
But more than likely, the one bat will fly out.
..as I understand it, this is the exact DVD as before only in a keeper case rather than a snapper case.
