Good morning, all! My Memorial Day weekend is primarily a work period: I've got edits for 16 Victor Herbert songs, although I'm still waiting on drafts from one of my copyists, scores to finish for THE ROSE OF ALGIERS, and a complete look-over of BABES IN TOYLAND, now that I'm aware of what the copyists did to THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER. I may have dinnier with my friend Chris tonight, if his family changes their mnds about comoing into the City and I know I'll see Bruce Pomahac at some point in the next couple of days. I look forward to the visit.
For ths being Fleet week, I am surprised to have seen not one sailor on the Upper West Side; usually they're all over the City and everywhere you look at this time of the year. My father's favorite New York tourist spot, the aircraft carrier The Intrepid, is having some festivities and a showing of the movie TOP GUN (oy!) so perhaps they're all hanging around that part of town.
Okay, the first big question of the day: do i wash the winter bedding and put it away?
