I know, I know, I'm one to talk with my E and T tendencies -- but I do let the cat drag me in every once in a while for a gratuitous mini-frenzy so you know I'm still alive and kickin' ...

As for the Topic of the Day...

When I started thinking about what I would write about, I really wasn't sure what I would write about. Was there anything to write about? Well... I guess I was still waiting for the morning coffee to kick, because this past year has most definitely been filled with some amazing experiences, moments and meetings.

Right off the bat, when I returned to NYC the first week in January after my extended stint down in DC, I had made a quiet pact with myself - well, a resolution - that I would stay in New York City during 2007. And I did. Yes, I had my usual long weekends out of the city every few months, but, otherwise, I was a New Yorker during 2007. And I have to say that The City has continued to amaze and awe and surprise me with its grandeur and beauty.

Work-wise, I've had some pretty heady moments... Getting to work on All About Us with Mr. Kander and that great cast and crew up at Westport County Playhouse... Starting my stint as a rehearsal pianist and keyboard sub for the revival of A Chorus Line... Playing for some "Stars" and "stars" at numerous(!) audition calls throughout the year... Getting a last minute call to play for a workshop for and on the Disney Cruise Line... Continuing my relationship with various casting agents and musical directors/conductors...

People-wise, well... Getting to meet David (a.k.a. DR singdaw), Amy (a.k.a. DR edisaurus) and her ever-lovin' Greg, Cason (a.k.a. DR Cason), Karen (a.k.a. DR MissKaren), Sam (a.k.a. DR Samantha), Adriana (a.k.a. DR AdrianaPatti), Matt (a.k.a. DR MattH), Jon (a.k.a. DR jhvw), Jeanne (a.k.a. DR Jeane) - I hope I didn't forget anyone(!).

...And continuing to meet up with - and Enable - the many DRs who live here in New York City and paid a visit to New York City this year.

And I hope to be able to put a real face to the avatars and screennames of the DRs I have yet to meet in person in 2008!

That's a grand idea, DR MissKaren.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #99 on:** December 31, 2007, 09:43:02 AM »

Well, I'm currently in the midst of wrapping up my 2007 here in Richmond - laundry, cleaning, packing. My parents are about to head out look at cars - they have decided to explore some of the "cool places" here in Richmond on their own later this week. My Dad's current plan is to look today (in 2007), and buy tomorrow (in 2008).

I don't have much more to take care of here, but I do want to get it all done sooner rather than later so that I can relax the rest of the day.

Laters...

Re: Bernadette Peters
I saw her in ANNIE GET YOUR GUN at the Kennedy Center. Not my favorite choice for casting, but I was impressed with her voice. So were the others I was there with. Perhaps she just had a better night.

Michael · « **Reply #105 on:** December 31, 2007, 10:01:19 AM »

I can tell you the worse thing that happened to me in 2007.

My car accident and injuries that prevented me from traveling to NYC to see The Brain From Planet X and everyone else. It also prevented me from going to Ireland which I was really looking forward to.

I hope to see both in 2008

For anyone familiar with it, can someone tell me why Paul Mauriat's "Puppet on a String" (not the Presley tune) sounds so familiar? Was it used in a commercial, maybe?

Michael · « **Reply #107 on:** December 31, 2007, 10:02:23 AM »

Saw this old print ad online and thought I'd share.

Hi all.
I'm back from my walk.
I'm fed.
I'm caffeinated.
I feel very high maintenance.

I wonder how many ciggies that ad campaign actually sold!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #111 on:** December 31, 2007, 10:07:43 AM »

Vibes to all.

Changed my mind: Favorite Esther Williams movie: Easy to Wed, costarring Mr Van Johnson and featuring Miss Lucille Ball and Mr Keenan Wynn.

Close third (Neptune's Daughter is still first) - the Unguarded Moment with Mr John Saxon.

Hello, everyone.
I wasn't sure how much work I'd feel like doing today, but I did a couple hours and that's good. I need to go to the bank, then I may just relax.

singdaw · « **Reply #114 on:** December 31, 2007, 10:10:44 AM »

DR FJL -

I washed my hands!

Jeanne · « **Reply #115 on:** December 31, 2007, 10:11:02 AM »

I wish everyone the very best for the coming year. New posting records for HHW! New books, new CDs, new productions! New friendships! And lots of great things all around!

Jeanne · « **Reply #116 on:** December 31, 2007, 10:12:02 AM »

Another welcome to new DR Druxy!

Tell us about yourself, please.

singdaw · « **Reply #117 on:** December 31, 2007, 10:13:09 AM »

I don't recall if DR George posted his reaction.

I'm only about half way through the German cast recording of Wicked, but so far, with a few caveats, I think this is a better sung, better sounding recording than the original OBC! The music director is the same as for the OBC, so tempi-wise, it's almost a carbon copy of the original. But to be clear: the score IS sung in German!

singdaw · « **Reply #118 on:** December 31, 2007, 10:14:47 AM »

Maybe we can institute some kind of HHW bingo game.

You cross off the boxes of those H/Ks you have met in person...

And sparkly prizes all around!

And since we're so close...
