Yes DR DAW - it seems a stretch that that performance by Conrad Birdie would elicit that response.  And I find it unusual that neither number presented included stars John Stamos and/or Gina Gershon.

Oy, what a morning at the local brick and mortar sheet music emporium.  I had placed a huge choral and orchestral order weeks ago, and they kept calling me saying "Everything but __________ has arrived" (a different item each time), and I kept telling them to just call me when it was all there since they're kind of out of the way to get to.  They had previously quoted me three prices on the order and we had finally settled on what we both agreed was the correct total.  So they finally called last Friday, said everything was indeed there, re-quoted me the supposedly correct price, blah, blah, blah.  Got there this morning and they first thought the whole order was NOT there.  They did finally find everything but I quickly pointed out their total was not what I had been told--it was actually $20 less!  Since I already had a check for what was supposed to have been the total, I did some extra shopping, which was fun, but they had an ancient DOS-based accounting system and the poor clerk had to really push it to its limit to get it to understand what was happening.  It actually crashed their invoice printer, LOL.

One of the extra things I picked up today was a lovely arrangement of Elmer Bernstein's wonderful TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.  I just played through it and got a little verklempt.

Does this qualify as Linda Blair thingamabob?

You obviously haven't heard me play.  :)

Does anyone else find the opening 4 bars of Bernstein's theme just slightly reminiscent of "Three Stars Will Shine Tonight" from Dr. Kildare?

Oh, and I don't think I mentioned - Sunday's open house - I checked about ten times during the day and didn't see one person going in to look.  No cars anywhere to be found.  Finally at about four-thirty there seemed to be about three people going in.  They had one yesterday and I saw no one go in.

Ugh!  That Conrad is big dud!  But I still feel sorry for him with that choreography he's saddled with--it makes him come off as a complete egotistical misanthrope who would rather make love to a microphone than flirt and play with any of the pretty girls in the crowd.

And are the families really grouped up like that in those costumes at the beginning of the scene?  It looks like they are ready to play a life-sized game of Parcheesi.

Double Ugh!
