In fact I have scads of demo's just lying around here, several of which I had completely forgotten I had but which I found again in the recent move.  One of my favorites is the demo for COMPANY where BK's close personal friend Stephen Sondheim decided for some unknown reason to have Another Hundred People arranged and performed by the Ray Conniff Singers (well, maybe not them exactly, but it's that kind of arrangement).

Will you be able to copy the referenced FFP script that I asked for?  Or is it too fragile.

I think I would like to hear COMPANY played by Si Zentner and his 76 Trombones and sung by the Johnny Mann Singers......


Guys Left Speaker:  Where you goin'?

Girls Left Speaker: Barcelona.

Trombone Center:  Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I was going to email you--I don't think I can, sorry--it's stapled and tearing.  However, I have an even better consolation prize for you.  It looks very likely I'll have the Kibbee papers in my hot little hand by early August and will send copies of all the Kibbee-Farmer correspondence to you.

This was one of my favorite LP's of all time.....and it's just as great on CD....with a bonus LP.  Recommended highly!

Whew!  The laundry is done.  The basement is ready for guests.  There is a stockpile of toilet paper in all bathrooms.  The basement bathroom is clean. The main floor bathroom is clean.  The kitchen is clean.  I will do more tomorrow, but if I didn't get anything more done, it's ready enough.   The role of a host is to provide a place to pitch tents, a bathroom and a place to take a shower.  I've already got all that covered.

I'm feeling a bit better. Not well, but better.  I'm going to try to get lots of sleep tonight, but we're under a tornado watch until 3:00 AM we're expecting more rain and high winds.  There are already a lot of tent campers here so they are going to sound the tornado sirens if there is any severe weather to warn them to take cover.  Glad they put that on the news.  It would be very unnerving to hear tornado sirens when there was no tornado warning

Looks nice, Cillaliz.

So, is there enough room in the basement for everyone if there is a tornado warning tomorrow night?

Yes. It's a finished full basement.  I steam cleaned the carpert last week so if they need to sleep inside they can be safe and dry.  Tonight is supposed to be the last bad weather night until next weekend, so they should be fine camping out

MORE BAD NEWS

Bad news for OCD cd collectors like me,  Decided to listen to The Brain From Planet X this morning and to my horror that the cd booklet some how stuck together. The autographed insert is ruined and it has upset me so. This has never happened to me before.

NOOOO!!!!!!!!! :o

I am not familiar with WHAT AM I DOING HERE?

Liz Callaway sings it on LOST IN BOSTON 2.

According to "Broadway First Take, Vol. 2":

Quote
Cut from the score, perhaps because of a preponderance of ballads.  A beautiful ballad, it is sung here with moving introspection by Rose Marie Jun.  It questions why this intelligent young woman continues in a futile affair with a married man.  She asks herself, "When am I ever gonna learn."

Well, today was a weird (but in a good way) day.  When I went to lunch today (about 2:00 pm), I got back at about 2:45 and power was out!  A couple of people had heard that there might've been an accident not too far away and that's what caused the power outage.  Anyway, we were told that if the power didn't come back within an hour, we could leave.  Cool!  It turns out that the power didn't come back so we all got to leave!  And since the building head closed the building, we get to use our "emergency leave," which means that we don't have to use vacation or make up the time.  So, I came home.

What I've been doing at home is FINALLY taking the time to finish BK's book, "There's Mel, There's Woody and There's You."  I reclined in my recliner and finished it, which actually was about half the book.

Oh...because I was at lunch when the power went out, I actually only had wait around for a half hour before they sent us home.  Maybe because it was a Friday afternoon and not a lot of people were there, but in the past, we've always had to wait two hours before they closed the building.

But I'm not complaining (a Closer Than Ever reference ;)).
