I also like "I Say It's Spinach and the Hell With It."

And most anything from Annie Get Your Gun. Especially "I Got the Sun in the Morning and the Moon at Night."

Me, too.

I felt super about 40 minutes ago.  Then, I took a turn...now feel feverish, achy and congested.

Damned flu!

About two weeks ago, I watched JULIE & JULIA again on cable and once again fell head over heels in love with the Julia Child portion of the movie.  So much, in fact, that my current read is Julia Child's (and nephew Alex Prud'Homme's) MY LIFE IN FRANCE.  The book is just as delightful as the film.  As I read it I can't help to hear every word in Child's (or Streep's Child's) loopy voice.  The only difficult part is when she describes the food and her meals and I'm reading on an empty stomach.  Ohhhhh....

I might at a later date look for the book that contains husband Paul Child's correspondance with his brother Charlie.  Paul Child is an interesting person in his own right.

DR George - I'm glad that you got to see the tour of A Chorus Line last night. -Baayork is very happy with this cast, this "very young" cast. :)

Cool!

It's cold outside, although I think the weather has warmed up since my trek downtown.

I saw Jo and Emily Loesser, both of whom I love a great deal, and I learned at the NYPL a bit more about a comedy from 1924, THE MERRY WIVES OF GOTHAM, which starred Laura Hope Crews as an Irish washerwoman living in shantytown and Grace George as a Park Avenue socialite in the year 1873. Part of the charm of the play is that the ladies, who have a friendly relationship, never learn that they are actually sisters separated in Ireland 40 years earlier. Victor Herbert wrote a glorious Irish song, "Heart O'Mine," for the comedy. It was sung by Mary Ellis, who one year later became a star playing the title role in the operetta ROSE-MARIE.

Hi everyone!   I'm still without cable, landline phone and internet at home, so I'm writing on my lunch hour at work.

There's been little progress in the cleanup of the room where the fire occurred (the storage room for all the residents); needless to say, all my belongings were destroyed.  I didn't have a lot of stuff down there, luckily.

In the meantime, I'm leaving for LA in the morning.  I'm going to Musicares (a charity attached to the Grammy Awards organization).  My fave female vocalist, Barbra Streisand, is being honored and promises to sing at the end of the evening.  I'm meeting several friends and am really looking forward to the show.

I hope to be back soon--hope everyone's doing well.  Sorry I haven't had time to read all the posts.

Well...this sounds like a show to see:  Original Version of Grease, Grittier and Raunchier Than You Know, Will Get Production Where It All Began!

Here's how ATC bills the show: "Chicago. 1959. Before two movies and three Broadway productions, summer lovin' happened on Lake Michigan and the Pink Ladies were a group of working class outsiders living on Chicago's Northwest Side. Including never-before-heard music, lyrics and scenes, author Jim Jacobs teams up with artistic director PJ Paparelli and choreographer Jim Corti to bring to life for the first time since 1971 the original R-Rated version of the world’s most famous movie musical."

Class work is getting weirder. The teacher said it was OK that I miss the session she didn't tell me about until it was too late on Monday, but then she hasn't told me about anything else since and she's made assignments, which I've managed to do without/despite her. It's OK to ostracize me, but don't be so, well, third grade about it. This is supposed to be grad school. And there are only six or seven of us students.
