Hi, Jane - I'm not working on work work, just on the AAUW/Ohio conference, which is actually volunteer work. Just got some very good news from the state president on that front.

Guess I missed that important piece of information. Nice you have good news, best of luck with all the planning.

I FINALLY got a library card today. Since I've lived here in Sioux City, I've always just bought books. Now that the library is just across the skywalk from my office I decided it's time to get books there. So, I'm back to being a library user. It's been years

It's about time!

You all may have seen this but my mom just sent this to me. A 7 year old with an amazing voice!

Wow! It kept pausing & I almost turned it off before the end, so glad I didn't.

Hey, Mikey! Is Race Gentry one of your faves?

He most certainly is!

I have a card for our local library which I have seldom used, and not in years. It does make a difference when the library is convenient. My brother walks past his almost everyday, so of course he uses it on a regular basis.

Thanks George.

Bryan’s flight has made up some of the lost time, currently he is only 2 hours late. He will be staying with a friend, and said friend is picking him up at the airport.

That lobby card is on eBay at the moment....auction ends tomorrow evening.

Is Gentry on the far right, or can you tell from the photo?

The library is now between my office and the federal building and is the end of the skywalk. So I literally walk through the library to go outside part of the time. Couldn't be more convenient

Is this spate of flying Bryan is doing something that will end soon, or is it going to be more frequent?

And if it's the latter, are "we" all going to be obsessing over his flights' timetable each time he flies?

Yep, the Exodus album is one of the two, the other has incredibly nice themes from Fanny, Barabbas, Advise and Consent, Goodbye Again, Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse, etc.

In great remastered sound on the Vocalion label. They've done a ton of the London Phase four recordings, and a lot of easy listening from the London label. They also did Mantovani's marvelous Stop The World/Oliver combo platter. The Exodus CD is available on amazon.

Found it, bought it...thanks for the heads up!

The "Exodus" album was an LP present to me from my grandfather on one of my birthday's circa 1962 or 1963. I played it to death and then some. I found it on a rather good stereo LP six months ago, but I long for something truly CLEAN to hear!

Sweeney Todd in about two hours.

Ron, the other one I'd really recommend is a two-fer of Herrmann's Hitchcock album (Phase Four - this is the best of all the remasterings), with a brilliant Ernest Gold theme collection from London Records, conducted by Gold. Fabulous sound.

I'm sort of logey from the steak and potato. And it would just be so easy to put my head on the keyboard and let Mr. Mandel's incandescent music put me to sleep.

Let's hope he will be flying more frequently, just in the near future, to many school interviews.

We don't have to obsess over his flight timetables each time

Our library system has an option that if you want, all your library materials can be mailed to you so that you don't actually have to go to a library building. You can choose what you want on-line and when you're done, just mail it back...postage paid. It's mainly for the elderly and disabled.

Ron- I'm not obsessing, this one is for Dakota.

Bryan is currently flying over South Dakota.

I guess maybe I'll write that rest of page eight, then I'll be done for the day. Good day's work, and great to finish that lyric, too, and finish adjusting the music to it.
