Forgot to mention Druxy's signing in the notes, which is what happens when you write notes that late.  Hope it goes very well!

As for those insidious Nips, well...

I go through phases. I like them, but, after a while, they do get a bit tiresome - literally. I kind of wish they had a softer texture, a gentler bite since I have a tendency to want to chew them.

DR Cillaliz - It sounds like Little Ricky will be all right after your "tea tree oil scare". At least you're getting to spend more time with him - and in your "new" den. :)

Friday's show was A Little Night Music.  It was interesting to see a different take (I saw Angela Lansbury and Catherine Zeta-Jones last year).  Elaine Stritch did her schtick, which is funny.  And Bernadette Peters sounded great. She was very gracious after the show.    Paul and I were in the back of the line and one of the theatre employees offered to take our playbills up to her to sign--that was a first!

I remember when I saw Lily Tomlin's Search... - during her "revival" at The Booth - her assistant collected The Playbills and other memorabilia that people wanted signed at the stage door, and brought them up to her dressing room to sign. It actually turned out to be a nice system. When Miss Tomlin came out the stage door, her assistant distributed all the signed items, and Miss Tomlin took some time to pose for pictures and chat with her fans - without having to deal with people shoving Playbills in her face.

On Wednesday my friend Paul and I went to the Times Square Visitors' Center for Seth Rudetsky's radio show.  He interviewed singer/actress Julia Murney who performed "All That Jazz" splendidly.  His other guest was a composer--I think his name was David Friedman (sound familiar, Jose and elmore?).  He was very entertaining.

Ah, yes, David Friedman: "Help Is On The Way", "My Simple Christmas Wish", "Listen To My Heart", etc.  -Plus a bunch of stuff for Disney.  He's currently one of Kathie Lee Gifford's writing partners. He writes the "Everyone Has A Story" songs for "The Today Show" with her.

Whew.....when I saw those K Gordon Murray "spectaculars" - it seemed to me that the original producers had chosen the ugilest kids possible to star in them.

DR MBarnum - I seem to remember watching one or two of those "Little Red Riding Hood" movies when I was in high school.  The poster art looks very familiar.

HA! ;D

And that reminds me of when I was doing A Chorus Line in Houston with Baayork Lee (the original Connie) and Fran Liebergall (the original pianist and eventual Musical Supervisor)...

During the middle of the run, we attended an event at a "special interest" establishment. Not only did they show that crazy(!) version of "At the Ballet" with Julie Andrews singing all three parts, but they also played clips from the movie version of "A Chorus Line".  -Neither Baayork nor Frannie had really seen those clips before.  The looks of "horror" on their faces during the Opening Combination are still etched in my brain. ::)

Has it ever been "settled" as to whom he wrote "Listen to My Heart" for "first"? It's just sad - and a but "weird" (that's so not the exact word I'm looking for) - that both Laurie Beechman and Nancy LaMott are no longer with us.

The chart for Mr Ron Raines is finished. Now on to the transposition for Mr LaBrie.

I sent a letter of complaint to the landlord about the Oaf. If I'm found dead, start with him. I didn't mention my suspicions that he's dealing drugs at night in the clubs or coming home coked up.

We took a tour of Radio City Music Hall on Friday.   It was a lot of fun.  While I've been there before (the first time was in 1969), it's been quite a while.  One of the Rockettes gave a little talk and posed for pictures.  And I found out that "Rockette" has nothing to do with Rockefeller Center.  The name is a derivation of the original name for the troupe, which was the Rockets --they were from the midwest , I think.

My high school drama group took the backstage tour of RCMH (when I was in high school). Since Liberace was doing his show there at the time, the usual itinerary of the tour ended up getting adjusted. We didn't end up coming face to face with the Maestro himself, but we did get to spend some extra time touring the rehearsal rooms - I still remember the aqua-sequined grand piano (I think it was from a Peter Allen show). We also got to stand in the back of the hall to watch the closing minutes of Liberace's show, before we headed onto the stage to watch the changeover for the next show that day. Very cool to say the least, especially for a bunch of 16 and 17-year old theatre geeks.

Being a little lazy, but doing a little work here and there.  In about an hour I'll head out to have Indian food for the first time in almost forty years.

Sunday afternoon greetings!  We are back from Lima, where I managed to attend the ladies' guild meeting without getting elected to anything.  Didn't even have to give my speech about how this gig is Richard's calling, not mine.  Whew!

Hello, everyone.

I have just a couple minutes until I head off to introduce Mr BK to Indian cuisine. Hopefully, this time will be more successful. We shall see.
