Well, you've read the notes, the notes were so yesterday with a little today thrown in for good measure, and now it is time for you to post until yesterday's cows come home.

And the word of the day is: LIGNEOUS!

We just had thirty-one GUESTS in here. The years 2004 and 2005 were very popular with said GUESTS.

That is all.

Good morning, all! For those who got all fraught last night about Jill Haworth's death, here is today's NY TIMES obit:

Today in the studio we record coloratura soprano Marnie Breckenridge, who played Cunegonde for the English National Opera two years ago, and Jonathan Michie who is flying up from Florida to record three German lieder and two songs in English, a toast to Pittsburgh's Crucible Club and a patriotic Spanish-American War bit of propaganda.

What was the Guy Haines song dropped from the Sherman Brothers album?

Okay, it's time to head off to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. News at 5.

Thank you for posting this, DR Elmore. CABARET was my first Broadway show when my mother and I visited NYC in the summer of 1967. We saw the original cast and waited at the stage door afterwards. Jill's is the only one of the 5 principals whose autograph I don't have on my program book because we didn't recognize her (short black hair onstage, long blond off) until she was halfway down the block and turned around and shouted "G'night, Loves!" in her raspy Sally Bowles voice.

Having seen her performance, it took me a long time to warm up to Liza's take on the role...

It's a shame no one is taking pictures of the Gardenia performances and rehearsals. Those would be quite nice to see.

I once held a ligneous rock. I recall that it was very hot and that I was feeling petrified.

Tin Whistle Tune from Busker Alley.

I don't quite know why I'm up this early, other than I should not eat a big meal at ten o'clock.

Druxy · « **Reply #13 on:** January 05, 2011, 06:48:48 AM »

BK,

Why are you up so early?

JMK · « **Reply #14 on:** January 05, 2011, 07:40:58 AM »

BK and Druxy are dyslexic.

You were probably stoned.

Question for BK

BK, you've been in contact with two of the original PROMISES, PROMISES pit singers. Do you think you could interest them in performing on an upcoming recording?

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #17 on:** January 05, 2011, 07:54:25 AM »

I am noshing on an unusally good onion bagel with cream cheese.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #18 on:** January 05, 2011, 08:01:14 AM »

It was always strange to me to learn over the years that Jill Haworth's performance in CABARET was critically damned by many. On the OCR I thought she was perfect.

One of the winners of MegaMillions is in Washington. George? TCB? Jed? Ann? Former Governor Gary Locke?

MBarnum · « **Reply #20 on:** January 05, 2011, 09:05:21 AM »

DR George, that was very interesting about your Uncle. Glad your family now knows what became of him.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 05, 2011, 09:31:03 AM »

Yes loved reading the articles and looking at the pictures DR GEORGE posted last night......maybe that is where you got your artistic gene.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 05, 2011, 09:32:22 AM »

Whew......my parents wanted a television set for the living room to watch DVD's on - no cable - so I just spent the last 2 1/2 hours setting it up.....I also bought them a flat antenna so that they could get OTA digital channels.....had to scan several times to get them all.....and one is still missing....but it is working.

I sort of miss the days of plugging it in and turning it on.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 05, 2011, 09:33:07 AM »

Sad to hear about Jill Haworth.....I also enjoy listening to the OCR......and of course I am even more intrigued about her life after reading the new Sal Mineo book.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #24 on:** January 05, 2011, 09:33:20 AM »

Whew......I MAY recover.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #25 on:** January 05, 2011, 09:57:13 AM »

Now I am eating a yummy lunch of a premavira pasta dish with a few bits of grilled chicken thrown in and a vodka sauce.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #26 on:** January 05, 2011, 09:58:18 AM »

And I will have for desert a slice of applesauce cake.

What's being worked on is a reunion at next December's Kritzerland at the Gardenia Christmas show, where they'd sing Turkey Lurkey.

I'm up again. I got three more hours of sleep, so I guess that means a total of about six.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #29 on:** January 05, 2011, 10:02:34 AM »

Even though I have yet to get one myself, I've still become the set-up expert on setting up HDTVs in my family and circle of friends. This stems from my days as the computer expert. In actuality, all I really know how to do is plug in cables to the right spots.
