Also, what are your favorite Irving Berlin classics?  Very important.

Last night, I worked concessions for the national tour of A Chorus Line.  I was a little sad because, although I had requested to usher for the show, I was assigned to work concessions.  The problem with that is that you don't get to see the very beginning of the show because you have to put things away when the show starts before you can go in to watch, and then if there's an intermission, you have to leave early to set up the concessions area again, and then stay after the second act starts to completely clean up everything.  HOWEVER, A Chorus Line doesn't have an intermission (which means not a lot of pre-show sales) and the head concessionaire, Vicki, said that was could just quickly put things into the kitchen area and do the more thorough cleaning after the show was over.  We got to see the entire show!

As for the show itself, it was very good!  I stood at the back of the orchestra level (which only has rows A-L, so it's not that far away from the stage).  All the performers had very good voices and were very good dancers and actors.  The audience of over 800 certainly enjoyed it.  A very good time was had by all. :D

Wednesday morning greetings!  Remember the brown bag lunches I used to host for nonprofit folks?  Well, my successor has continued them and I'm attending today's to hear one of my friends as the speaker.  It will be nice to see my colleagues again.

Good morning, all! Another night of weird dreams: the last one had me in the hospital awaiting surgery and two battling doctors. I've now forgotten the one that woke me at 4:30am but it was equally strange.

Today, I have a lot of errands to run of various and sundry nature, hopefully ending at the Lincoln Center NYPL for more historic newspaper research.

Berlin songs: I think my faves are "It's A Lovely Day Today" and "Change Partners and Dance," but it's hard to choose. I think my least faves are from "Call Me Madam": "The Ocarina" and "Marrying For Love," and all of "Mr President."

I worked on that production for Encores! I think I may have scored those ocarinas for that production. I have a memory of the ocarina players being difficult to deal with, and I remember that I futzed with the dance music to "Something to Dance about" as well.

It's a great recording and one of my favorites to listen to.  Wonderful work, DR Elmore!

I love Tyne Daly, and I think she's great on the up-tempo songs. I wish she could sing on pitch for the ballads. She doesn't knpw about breath support. I have to say that she was the best thing in the 1998 Carnegie Hall performance of JUBILEE; absolutely fantastic!

I really like Berlin's Al Jolson song, "Let Me Sing And I'm Happy".

That's the one song that I wanted to use in my JOLSON play that I couldn't obtain the rights for.

Re: the Ted Bundy movie BK mentioned.

I recall my nephew telling me that, years ago, he and his family spent the day in a Seattle park, then after they went home, they heard on the TV that one of Bundy's victims had just been found in the same park.

Scary...

A good number of the no-shows at UPTA were from Oklahoma. All of their travel options were affected by the snow.
