My friend, Bill, was visiting from Georgia this week. He and I did several shows together over the years. We were both saying at dinner Tuesday night, that we both would love to see another production of Newley's ROAR AND SMELL. We both love the show and the score.

About to start watch MOONRAKER. Not the best of the Bond films, but still enjoyable.

I'm all excited over tonight's broadcast of Dicken's LITTLE DORRIT on Masterpiece Theatre. This continues my latest project to watch all of Dickens available on DVD. I wish I had the time to read all of the novels but I think watching them will be most informative.

I have programed this to record. I'm a bit confused as to the number of episodes. I read in 2008 there were 14 episodes. I have read currently there are 8 or 5, depending on the article. Ok, I see on the Masterpiece Theater site there are 5 episodes.

While setting this up to record the following Little Dorrit: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095530/ This 3 hour film is from 1988 & includes Alec Guinness (nominated for best supporting actor) in the cast.

I may opt to watch the movie instead of the series.

td, I wish I could hear you sing Easter Sunday.

Me too.

Back from the signing - a bit of a joke for me personally - this show is different than others - it's not people hawking their books, they're just there to sign what people bring them, for free. So, I only sold a couple, but I had a good time and the author who was at my table before me, Harry Turtledove, turns out is a fan of mine and saw What If and read Writer's Block. Go know.

I did pick up a couple of things and like everything else, I think business was way down.

Thank you DRs TCB & td. One of the positions would be an extremely meaningful position & one he would like very much to do. If he gets the job, supporting his family on the "meaningful" paycheck will be a challenge. On the upside, less of a challenge than supporting a family with his current paycheck. He really sounded enthusiastic about the work.

DRs Jane and TCB - being West-Coasters, you'd have to get up extremely early on Easter morning to hear me sing.

The movie is 6 hours long and in two parts. I remember when it played in New York in the 1980s. I really wanted to see it. TCM is only showing Part One of the movie.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought the "part 1" was in error since I couldn't find part 2.

Michael S., what was the experience like, swimming with the dolphins?

Well you didn't really swim with the dolphins. They call it an interaction. You pet it, feed it, burp it (not really) get it to do some tricks and the highlight is when you go into deeper water and you hold on as it swims you to shore. It was a thrilling experience and made my 50th a memorable event.

I came across a musical theater podcast from the UK

It is called MusicalTalk (The independent UK podcast for musical theater)

and I am wondering if this is the site that DR Ben talks about frequently?

Following is the explanation of the 2 part Little Dorrit, & why one part can be shown without part 2.

According to Wikipedia:
"Little Dorrit lasts 360 minutes and was released in two separate parts of approximately three hours each. The first part was subtitled Nobody's Fault, an allusion to one of Dickens' proposed titles for the original novel, and the story developed from the perspective and experiences of the Arthur Clennam character . The second film, entitled Little Dorrit's Story, took many of the same events and presented them through the eyes of the heroine. Together they represented separate but overlapping chronicles."

Or possibly just doing research for Ghost II.

Sad team elimination on TAR tonight.

And now I am watching ANY DREAM WILL DO about the search for a new JOSEPH for a London production....on BBC America but the show is a couple of years old, so my guess is the production has come and gone.....

MR BK did anyone BRING a book for you to sign?
