Topic of the Day:  "The Rainbow Connection" from The Muppet Movie (as BK mentioned in the notes) and "Mama a Rainbow" from Minnie's Boys are the first that I can think of.

Good morning, all! I was awakened by the oaf living above me around 5am, and spent the next hour dozing and waiting for the alarm to go off. Said oaf also arrived home with a big door slam shortly after 11pm last night, right after I turned off the lights, and repeated the door slam not long after, either when he walked the dog. I wonder if I can sue my landlord for leasing an apartment to this jerk?

I have a 9am followup appointment to examine my tooth extraction, and following that, I will stop by Toyland to check out things and drop off the Finale Ultimo scores. Then, back here to continue writing the introductory material to BABES IN TOYLAND, Vol. 2.

I'm tired.

CACOUGHANY: A composition incorporating many people with chest colds

CORAL SYMPHONY: A large, multi-movement work from Beethoven's Caribbean Period

FERMANTRA: A note held over and over and over and over and . . .

FERMOOTA: A note of dubious value held for indefinite length

FIDDLER CRABS: Grumpy string players

FLUTE FLIES: Those tiny mosquitoes that bother musicians on outdoor gigs

FRUGALHORN: A sensible and inexpensive brass instrument

GAUL BLATTER: A French horn player

GREGORIAN CHAMP: The title bestowed upon the monk who can hold a note the longest

GROUND HOG: Someone who takes control of the repeated bassline and won't let anyone else play it

PLACEBO DOMINGO: A faux tenor

SCHMALZANDO: A sudden burst of music from the Guy Lombardo band

THE RIGHT OF STRINGS: Manifesto of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Violists

Tuesday morning greetings!  Our cousins will leave today to return to GA and I'm taking my mother grocery shopping.  DN Lauren is coming for tutoring and, probably, dinner.

Travel vibes to DR Michael S!

Lesson learned today - you cannot use a FedEx tracking number on usps.com  :-\

Once I figured out that my new Daytimer refill had been shipped by FedEx the number worked beautifully.

Yes, my favorite "rainbow" song is indeed Tom Waits' "Rainbow Sleeve."  It has been recorded by Waits, Bette Midler and Davis Gaines (and probably others).  For some strange reason, it is also known as "Rainbow Sleeves" and can currently be heard in EVERYDAY RAPTURE.
