Well, you've read the notes, the notes had an affair and they remembered it, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently having an affair to MOOmember.

Last night, I went to a wonderful production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and I was one of the people called up from the audience! Actually, the director (whom I've known since 1989...and she was about 15 years old) asked if it was okay if they called me up, so I said yes. I was the first audience member to be called on to spell and I got the spelling wrong! The word sounded like "dangy," but it's spelled "dengue." I've never heard of it, so I was out.

The other three people who were from the audience did much better. And the guy who played the vice principle was quick with the jokes and improves and very funny. All the "kids" were very good and the audience loved the show.

Morning all.

That is all.

Well, George, just be glad you never had dengue fever.

And good morning to all.

Forgot to take my nasal spray for allergies and it gave out during the middle of the night. So here I am, waiting for the latest dose to take effect.

Weirdest album? There are so many. But one true oddity was an original Catskill, N.Y., cast recording of a local musical about silkworms or earthworms or some kind of insect. It never went further than the high school, except to the recording studio.

cast album of the musical Tom Jones, but I was never able to find out where the poduction was done. If memory serves me Clive Reville was on it

DR George - Don't you remember that word from the Tony Awards broadcast?!?!?

Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Although, DR George, if you had dengue fever last night, well... That could possibly explain it.

As for the Topic of the Day...

Hmm...

Does O-Town's debut album count?

Good morning, all! Around 10 pm last night Joshie called me and changed my plans for today: I was going to go to City Center and begin the work on WHERE'S CHARLEY?, but he will be stuck at his apartment waiting for the moving cartons to arrive. So, tomorrow I will go to City Center, and today I will go to NYPL.

In 1998, when the Kennedy Center did their one attempt at a series like Encores!, WHERE'S CHARLEY? was the final show (August, 1998, as I recall). I spent about 3 months at the Loesser office putting the orchestra parts of the show into full score and found many many errors. We believed that the DC production would provide us with a set of corrected masters for future productions, but tight schedules, inexperienced interns, etc. can wreak havoc with good intentions.

So, for twelve years, the Loesser office has had a full score for WHERE'S CHARLEY? in my hand, with all problems and copy errors marked. This is the score that Encores! is working from, and I'm acting as consultant and aid in getting a lot of the corrections into the parts they are using. I'm hoping this production will lead to a recording as well as a new rental edition of the show.

BK, Ethel Waters had three songs in AS THOUSANDS CHEER: "Suppertine," "Harlem On My Mind," and "Heat Wave." Perhaps Miss Allen could do one of the others?

I once found in a used LP store a recorsing of some community theatre production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC from Denver (?) or some city in the west. The orchestra wasn't bad but the cast has delusions of adequacy. I don't know where the LP is now, but it was truly bizarre.

One long ago album purchase I have never been able to live down amongst my friends was:

And now, years later, "My Sharonna" is considered a classic. So, I say, "Ha!"

I don't recall the name of the album, but it included a bunch of crazy songs, like "They're Coming to Take Me Away."

DR Jane, I really liked the season finale of HUMAN TARGET. I don't think it has been decided if it is returning. But I hope it does.

Re: the library having to have as many copies as book club members.

I find that rule crazy!

You'd think at least one member might order the book or buy it second hand. And really couldn't people share a library copy? The only books most libraries would have that many copies of would be huge blockbusters. But in many cases those books have long waiting lists!
