We're be back with more of Popo Gigio after this message.  

Also, can Cason make a good Doody, with or without Grease?

DR Cason - I'm sorry you had a bad audition experience.

And I find it kind of strange that the pianist could not play "Run Around Sue".  -You brought in the music in your own key, right?  I've come across some of the music for Mermaids and it's not hard, but it's also not really easy to play.  If the pianist could play the music from Mermaids, then s/he should have been able to play "Runaround Sue".  -Of course, with some of the younger pianists out there, if the song was written "before Wicked" or "before Rent", then there's a good chance that they haven't heard it before.  :-\

Yeah, I brought it in the right key and everything.  He was an older gentleman and was able to get through the first portion (where he just plays the chords and holds while I sing), but then when he actually had to play something at tempo, he just couldn't keep it going and the director even made a comment like, "Well, this certainly isn't one that people go around humming these days."  !?

As for tonight's "American Idol" - I've had it on in the background while I've been reading and posting...

Sort of a dud night.  The "Latin" music featured was not really that "Latin".  Very middle-of-the-road material.

When I heard that Chris R. was singing "Smooth", I immediately knew it would be a test for him.  That song requires quite a bit of range - especially on the low end.  And even though they raised the key for him, he still had to modify the opening (and/or he just totally blew it - I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt).

I liked Blake the best, but I thought it would have been neat to hear him sing a Marc Anthony or Enrique Iglesias ballad.  However, it was nice to hear more of his top range.

Melinda was good, but I think tonight may - and should - have been a wake up call for her.  As all these sort of stupid theme weeks come up, she's definitely gonna have to pick some material that does not sit naturally for her.  Yes, she may still come across as professional and polished.  But that doesn't necessarily mean she'll be exciting.

And Jordin still sounds a bit off-pitch to me.

And even thought I should be in bed by now... I'm not.  I stopped for some food after the van dropped me off at 125th Street, and I just need some digesting time.  -And I also still have to type up the notes from tonight's first preview.

That wild dance The Pennsylvania Popo

I'm sure MusicGuy's favorite toy, the Popo Stick

Since yuckilicious was already used, is there anything like Popalicious?  (almost sounds religious, don't it?)

I don't know about tomorrow's word, but for sheer learning pleasure, popo may be hard to top.

Lena Horne?!?!?!?!

*However, I'm not sure I agree about the new seats at the Playhouse.  They're quite comfy, and there is nice amount of legroom, however, they're "stacked" right in front of the other.  Consequently, the best seats in the house are the ones in the second row - which is deeper than the other rows, LOTS of leg room, and any of the seats on the side aisles.  Otherwise, you have a couple of heads in your view of the stage.

OK... Notes have been typed up and sent.  Train schedules have been checked, and I'm about to fall asleep on my laptop, so...

Goodnight.

Today when I went to the dentist, my check up was good, for the most part (flossing...the bane of my existance ::)) but I just noticed this weekend that I chipped a tooth!  So, the choice was for them to either fill it (which would, I assume, involve an additional cost!) or to smooth it out and they chose to smooth it out.  They got out the drill and grinders and I must admit, they looked scary!  But it actually wasn't bad at all.  I "felt" the noise throughout my whole head, but it wasn't horrible.  Now, I'm chip-free. :)
