TOD:

iPod:  Irish music!  The Chieftans, Carrantuohill and Gaelic Storm.  And maybe THE QUIET MAN soundtrack.

Tivo:  Nothing of note currently, though maybe I'll do another rental from Amazon.

Friday morning greetings!  Winter has returned to SW Ohio - it's about 40o colder than it was 2 days ago.

Media report - iPod:  Ilene Graff's Baby's Broadway Lullabies, which I found on iTunes on a search for "They Were You"  and the Boston Pops' Celtic Album, conducted by Keith Lockhart, on whom my 88-year-old mother has a terrific crush.

DVD - Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro (thanks, DR Elmore  :-* !)

I can assure you I hold the same regard for your opinions as you do mine.


Oh well!  I actually do look foward to reading everyone's opinions about IDOL.  And have high regard for them all.

The weather has changed for the worse here in NY. After a few beautiful late winter days we now have a light snow which is supposed to turn into 3-5 inches of mush by later today. Of course with the weather back in the 50s by the middle of next week the cold won't last long but it's certainly unpleasant while it lasts.

DR JoseSPiano, I'll bet you've got many great audition, rehearsal, and performance stories.

How many bars does a singer get at a typical audition these days, in your experience?

Xerox is moving in and taking 3 floors of our building, so today is packing and moving day here at the office.  Perhaps they'll let us pack and leave early due to projected snow and ice?

All I know of Illya, Darling is that they used the song from the movie, Never on a Sunday and that Melina Mecouri, who starred in the movie also starred in the Broadway show.

Illya, Darling

It was also discussed in one of Peter Filichia's columns recently as a precursor to the jukebox musical. Here is a link to said column.

Thanks for the Filichia link, DR Ben.

His column raises some interesting questions.

So, Edi, about Friday, March 30th. I will get tickets for S&V beforehand but when will you be at the theatre? There are no times listed yet for the film. The Web site says "Coming Soon Opens Friday March 30th" Will you be holding a red rose so we may recognize you  :D

Why, I will be wearing my Happy Fingers® beenie, of course! (I really do wish I had one!)

We'll be there before and after the next to the last show (7 or 8?) on both Friday and Saturday (Peter will also be there on Sunday) and then go somewhere nearby for a drink or coffee. Then we may go back to the theatre to be there in case anyone has questions after the last show, or in case anyone else we know went to the late show and wants to go out afterwards.

DR Ben. your pictures brought back fond memories of visiting my editor friend in London back in '91. I hadn't seen him since we had worked together  back in '78, although we had kept in touch all those years. The first thing he wanted to do was go to Sainsbury's and pick up things I might like. it was the first time I had seen all these things---Spotted Dick, Toad in the Hole, and I couldn't stop laughing about it. Those are great pictures!

Ben, this is a more accurate photo than the beenie picture. But I won't be in front of an editing computer, as I was when I took this:

Ah, yes. You have jogged my memory. I remember this picture being posted a while ago when you first being posting.

My memory is now finished with the jog and has returned to my brain so I may continue working on the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Edi - Just wanted to make sure you saw that new discount code for Drowsy Chaperone, which is 5PLAY.  Alas and a lack, there's a lack of a truly substantial discount, it's $85 for a $110 seat, but it looks like you get the same seats for the discount as you would at regular prices.

I guess the discounts are getting chintzier now that schools are out for their various spring breaks and tourists are becoming more plentiful in NYC.

Good morning!

It started raining at 2:25 a.m. (I know the time because it woke me up when it started hitting the windows), and it's been raining ever since. So a cool, rather dreary day for us here.
