Good Evening!

My back went out a few hours ago... and then it went back "in"... and now it has a IcyHot Patch on it.  Aaaahhh...  Much better.

[JoseSPiano]

Tonight's Top Ten was perfect for Jose. LOL

HA!!!  I guess it was!  -Didn't even cross my mind while I was in Ed Sullivan Theater.

Your back went out?  On a date?

[JoseSPiano]

Letterman is really funny tonight.  Watching for DR Jose in the audience

Yes, it was a great show. Very funny, and a perfect balance of "uncomfortable tension", seriousness and humility.  -At least that's what I thought.  I loved when he started the series of politician jokes.

I did make the audience "pan". Just barely.  The "coming attractions" box went up just as my section of the audience was in view.  However, as the camera panned up to the balcony, I caught a very brief glimpse of me in the Audience Left side of the house, ten rows back, on the aisle.  *Just look for the "patch of dark blue".

Hi DR Edisaurus.  Your projects all sound very interesting!

[JoseSPiano]

Your back went out?  On a date?

A date? I wish.

I think I just need to but a pair of new walking-around-town shoes.  I believe I've "crushed" the soles on my current pair.

[JoseSPiano]

DR edisaurus - HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JoseSPiano]

And I really, really, really (that's 3 really's) liked Steve Martin's opening words.  -Yes, I know, I said that before, and I just said it again.

[JoseSPiano]

Has anyone seen the new Michael Moore movie?

"Not I," said DR JoseSPiano.

[JoseSPiano]

Different strokes for Mad Men.  I thought it was the weakest episode of the entire series.  And, I must say, so did some friends of mine who are HUGE fans.

There always seems to be one episode each season which can seem like a time-killer.  However, I like them.  You get to see more "character" rather than action and plot, and, overall, it helps the pacing of the full season.  -Again, just my two cents.

*And I thought "Betts" looked stunning during the Rome sequences. Va-Va-Va Voom! Che Bella!

[Julie]

Just saw that section of the show, Jose.  I think I spotted you.

[JoseSPiano]

I found out to day that I have the option to have a medical procedure or not to have one on my leg. If I do, it may or may not alleviate the discomfort that I am having. But I don't want to have to wear a compression stocking for the rest of my life if I don't do it. The prodecure is call Endovenous Laser Treatment.

DR Michael S - Have you considering consulting an osteopath, chiropractor and/or physical therapist?  A friend  of mine who had that condition actually turned to acupuncture - along with some specialized resistance training (free weights), Pilates and diet (for weight loss) - to alleviate his pain.  It took a few months, but he's been "back to normal" for a while now.

It was a long day at the St James, which housed two Rodgers and Hammerstein shows, OKLAHOMA! and FLOWER DRUM SONG. The morning was really unnecessary for me because it was mostly taken up with squeezing 23 players into the orchestra pit. We had to lose two timpani to accommodate the two horn players and Josh Clayton, the string synth player, is back in the orchestra's green room with a tv monitor. The sond man also spent some time setting up mikes and having the various players run sections of the score for him. When we got back from lunch, we ran the cues we'd never played before and then ran Act one. It was a work session so we'd run a few pages of dialogue and a number, go back and work things, and continue. A lot of time was spent on the magic tricks that Og the leprechaun has to perform. some of them are very funny. It was a good day; I love David Schramm as Senator Rawkins; he reminds me a bit of Foghorn Leghorn.

DR elmore - That sounds like my first official day on Lestat in the Palace.  The easiest four-hour call I've ever attended. The seventh floor room had been set up the day before, but they had to do the "pit fit" that first morning.  So, the associate conductor/Key2 player, the percussionist and I just sat in the musicians' dressing room the whole morning.  On the clock too!

*Oh - Any word on the final dress rehearsal/gypsy run-thru?

[JoseSPiano]

DR Ron Pulliam - Didn't you also see Lestat at The Curran?

I think I saw you!  I recorded it so I'll look again, but I saw someone in an aisle seat on the left side of the house I thought was you when I paused it.  I'll check to see if I was right.

I don't think GOURMET magazine is the only magazine that is ceasing publication. I was in the doctor's office and caught the tail end of the report. They were focusing on breaking news in Florida. But I think they mentioned several different bride magazines were also hitting the sheets.

The other three magazines that will be ceasing publication are "Cookie", "Modern Bride" and "Elegant Bride".  Here's the latest from The New York Times' Media Decoder.

And as I heard from a friend of mine who (still) works at Condé Nast, all the affected staff will have to be out of their office by the close of business tomorrow afternoon.

And I really, really, really (that's 3 really's) liked Steve Martin's opening words.  -Yes, I know, I said that before, and I just said it again.

I agree with you.

I almost look like an empty seat since I'm dressed in dark blue.  The people around me were in brighter colors.

Good evening everyone.

Great video's and links today.  Thank you.

Good night, happy Tuesday, and  vibes for everyone.

[Cillaliz]

Oh! I just went back through the audience pan...I see you now.  Don't know who the guy was I thought was you.. actually if I'm right, I can see you for more than just the pan up to the balcony - before the coming attractions come up

[Cillaliz]

yup, dark blue. Was there a woman sitting behind you?

[Cillaliz]

Thanks for the vibes Julie. I don't know why I'm stressing so much over this. Think I'll try to get some sleep

[JoseSPiano]

yup, dark blue. Was there a woman sitting behind you?

Yep, that was me!

[bk]

Oh, am I tired.  But all the single packages now have postage on them.  Whilst doing that, I listened to two other potential Kritzerland projects - one is fantastic and I may go ahead and see if we can do a deal on it, one is so outre and weird and from such a strange film I'm not sure that anyone but me would like it - and I've got it now.  Still the film has a bit of a cult following, but it's not what you would call a melodic listen.
