Speaking of classical:  Has this conjoining of Mary Poppins with Electric dreams-style sounds ever been posted here?

I like, but it's not as catchy as his ALICE:

Hello everyone-

I'm back from NYC.  I had a really great time!  

I saw Finian's Rainbow Saturday and enjoyed it immensely!  Thy cast is first-rate!  I had never seen Kate Baldwin or Jim Norton before and thought they were just great!  I had seen Cheyenne Jackson in Xanadu and was happy to see (and hear ) him again.  Terri White has that show-stopping number, or course, and Christopher Fitzgerald is just perfect (and hilarious) as the leprechaun.    The songs are so good (and it's always better when you're familiar with some of them).   I especially liked "If This Isn't Love,"  "Old Devil Moon," and "..Glocca Morra."   The orchestra sounded great ---I guess DR elmore had something to do with that!   After the show I had my picture taken with Mr. Jackson.  If I knew how to post it I would.  

When I was walking back to my seat after intermission I thought that the man in front of me looked familiar.  Sure enough, it was Joel Grey!  I thought of approaching him, but didn't want to bother him.

I'll definitely try and see the show again.

Gotta go --I have a doctor's appointment.

Kevin

I had a nice walk down to Juilliard. The good news is that they had the Finale 2010 for $350, which is excellent! Until the Amazon dealer releases my funds held back into my bank account, I cannot afford to make the investment. I told the clerk I would be back by Friday for it.

DR KevinH, I'm glad you enjoyed FINIAN'S RAINBOW. Perhaps DRGeorge or another poster with better terminology than I can help you post your photo. You should have said something to Mr Grey; I think he would have been flattered.

Three southern belles on MILLIONAIRE - question....which playwright worked in the 1930's at a Missouri shoe company with a man named Stanley Kowalski.

They thought it must be Arthur Miller.....but their phone a friend at least knew it was Tennessee Williams.  Even then they used their double dip....at least they finally tried Williams.

What kind of TEST do they give these people? 


In one of the first shows of this "game" show with Regis years back, a contestant -- very goodlooking-and-knew-it and thought he was more intuitive and street smart than most other folks in the world -- was first to sit in the chair after a lightning round to select a contestant.  He was asked the following (approximate) question:

"Which animal did Hannibal use to cross the Alps?"

"A. Yaks"
"B. Elephants"
"C. Llamas"


His answer:  "C. Llamas".   I nearly wet myself I was laughing so hard.  He rather set the standard for stupid that the show occasionally lives down to.

(The look on his face when he was informed he gave a wrong answer was priceless)  He left with no money, IIRC.

Nice interview, with spoilers, with the head writer of ONE LIFE TO LIVE and what's coming up for Kyle and Fish on the show now that they've become a couple:

DR George -  The Bugatti??  Isn't that a number in Finian's Rainbow??        ;)

Seriously - what was that guy doing with his cell phone while he was driving?   Talking?  Texting?     I don't have much sympathy.

I have no sympathy AT ALL!  The guy was just stoopid and karma bit him in the ass!

Thanks for the bird and squirrel photos, DerBrucer.

You're welcome - and...

I found just the thing for your Sunday School:

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Zombies: A Book of Zombie Christmas Carols

AMAZON

Includes:

Good King Wenceslas Tastes Great
Deck The Halls With Parts Of Wally

All together now:

Zombie the snowman was a jolly, happy ghoul,
With a corncob pipe and some boy's nose
And two eyes he got at school

der Brucer

I think that I just may have to order this!

This morning I took 2 boxes of books to the AAUW sale site and stayed to sort and price, then went out to lunch with a couple of my friends.  Much nicer midday than yesterday.

Yesterday was a very frustrating day for me.

For different reasons, today is not turning out any better.

It seems that someone "hacked" into my Facebook account, deleted all my friends, and totally messed up my page.  Upon doing a little research, I have discovered that many people have experienced this same problem over the past few weeks. 

I have decided to just start all over.

So everyone on here who is on FB - PLEASE go to my new page and "add" me again.  THANK YOU!!

I get so sick of fools glued to a cell phone walking down the street and the idiots that do it while they're driving are even worse. Maybe he can use another million to buy himself some smarts.

I am supposed to be meeting DR FJL for dinner tonight. 
I think I am going to need a drink first.  And during.
And probably an appointment with my hairdresser tomorrow as I shall probably be pulling all my hair out today. 

So anyone who wants to see me bald - just stop on over tomorrow morning.

Good Afternoon!

I had a very nice morning playing for potential Nala's, Simba's and Mufasa's, as well as a gaggle of Belle's too.

Many Thanks to Russ and Warren - and Disney! - for a couple of days work and fun.  Oh, and lunch too! :)

And just where is the bookstore now, DR elmore?  I just realized I haven't been there since the re-location and re-modeling.

Was the clerk able to tell you if any further proof of Academia would be needed once you purchased the software?

LOL.  I know - I always want to be included in a Skip dinner, too!
Actually, this is one of those rare times when we shall not be at Chez Skip and Fred.  Fred and I are meeting a visiting out of town friend at a restaurant for dinner.

Maybe we can all sneek by and surprise Skip afterwards, and demand dessert??  Hmmm.  Yes.
(Just kidding, Fred)
