Well, you've read the notes, the notes were quite French and should be pardoned, and now it is time for you to post until the French cows come home.

And, of course, the French cognate for cognate is apparenté.

But you knew that already, right?

I am not sure what kind of test they are taking, but if they are medical don't you want them to be negative? Negative is good

As for TOD of the day I thought of one the other day, but I can no longer remember it. I should have written it down. Perhaps I will remember it during the day.

DR ELMORE I have your Dot Provine ready to go. DR MATTHEW I can't do any track splitting, but I can record INNER CITY for you. Maybe you can figure out how to break up the tracks, if you're still interested let me know.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 04, 2009, 05:41:06 AM »

I tried everything DR BEN suggested, except recording the tracks individually....the placement of the turntable not in view of the computer makes that difficult.

Good question...

To me, there's technical/sloppy like the OCR of A CHORUS LINE, which has so much background noise that I think they recorded it in the cafeteria. But then there's ANNIE, recorded in Columbia's SQ(?) technology, which was aimed for quadrophonic stereos. But on just plain old two channel stereos, the voices bounce back and forth like ping-pong balls between speakers.

I do not like any of the singing on the FOLLIES IN CONCERT recording--too much emphasis on the performers and not on the songs (and most of those performers delivered lackluster performances.)

Who wants to win a Tony Award?

Ben · « **Reply #23 on:** February 04, 2009, 06:32:21 AM »

$10,000 friggin dollars for a minimum bid?!?!?

I know it's the estate of Klotz that is putting it up on E-Bay and according to the American Theatre Wing the rules about selling a Tony don't apply to this one. Still, greed is alive and well.

Wednesday morning greetings! Yesterday was quite interesting, weather-wise. I left for Dayton about 10:30, attended 2 meetings, and did errands both before and after, in sunshine and on dry roads. When I left the downtown Dayton post office about 4:15, I called Richard and he said there was a blizzard here at home (about 25 miles south). On my drive home, I saw no snow until just north of here. Apparently, the storm tracked south and Cincinnati (about 30 miles to the south) got even more snow than we did. Today the sun's out and the fresh snow is sparkling.

Anthony is on Long Island getting the car, etc. for the trip north(west). He said the snow is heavier on Long Island than here in the city (not unusual at all). He said driving was treacherous. He was going to do some errands yesterday when he arrived but the conditions made him change his mind. He just stayed in and ate comfort food and got himself ready for the trip.

Yeah, far too pricey in my mind, particularly for an award for GRIND. Now if it was the Tony she had won for FOLLIES, maybe the amount would be warrented.

The estate has also been selling some of her costume sketches for FOLLIES on eBay. But again, at $4,000 a pop, too pricey for my wallet.

Not a lot of snow down in the South of Jersey--just enough to have to spend a half hour shoveling the side walk and cleaning off the car this morning. The roads were just wet for the most part so driving over the bridge was a breeze.

Travel vibes for Anthony!!! As someone who's been crazy enough to go to Wisconsin in the wintertime, I don't envy him the drive.

We are going hiking today. It is supposed to be 82 degrees today.
