Good morning, all! Today is the first band rehearsal for FINIAN'S RAINBOW, so I will be out most of the day. I am very excited about it, and I've got my new scores, the print out of the original orchestra score, my work copy of this production's vocal score, a pencil sharpener, a red pencil, a drawing pencil, an eraser, and blank paper to cart down to Carol Studios on 11th Avenue and 54th Street. I'm looking forward to the event.
I finally spoke to the landlord's staff yesterday; my September rent check has never arrived. It's a curiosity since both the utilities and AT&T bill I mailed with it cleared last week. It hasn't been returned to me so I'm wondering if there's a Big Thief or Lazy Slob working for the US Post Office. Again! I have a vision that around 2025 it will mysteriously appear in the post and I will be overdrawn.
As to La Streisand, I haven't liked much of what she's done on recording since STONEY END and on film since FUNNY GIRL. I've heard her torturing the tune for "Make someone Happy" on the tv ads and genug ist genug.
