Well, you've read the notes, the notes stumbled-through, and now it is time for you to post until the stumbling cows come home.

Good morning, all! I've been movng about since 5:45. I have to be out of here no later than 7:45 to make my 8:30 appointment at the NYU Dental Clinic, and even then that may be too late, since getting around Manhattan is ridiculous with the MTA cutbacks on buses and trains. There's no reason this trip should take between 45 minutes to an hour, but most of the time is waiting for a vehicle to show up.

My day after I leave there depends mainly on how I feel after the dental work, which I believe will be a redo of an old filling. I do have two numbers from EILEEN, an operetta by Mr Victor Herbert, to proofread, and I have laundry.

That's my day. It's time for more coffee!

DR Elmore--ask for a gold filling.  I understand it's de rigueur among all the music industry people these days.

That looks WONDERFUL! 

I somewhat recall the Christine Andreas/Laurence Guittard revival going along that re-creation route, but I don't remember to what extent.

I have to judge a tequila competition this afternoon. I've judged wine and beer before, but never anything stronger. This is going to be interesting, to say the least.

Oh, the Farmer and the Cowman should be friends!
Oh, the Farmer and the Cowman should be friends!
One man like to push a plow,
The other like to chase a cow...

...I ain't ever seen a man
Do the things that that man can.
Why, he can still the ev'ning breezes.
Stare the sun down
'Till it freezes...


Darn it...

The photos look great, though John Mauceri is starting to look as old as Celete Holm.

Question for BK...or anybody else who knows the answer:

Where can you buy individual sheet music for older OOP songs?

Preferably in a pdf format.

It seems that, in my move to Austin, I've misplaced all of the sheet music needed for my 1-person Maurice Chevalier play.

I'm going over to my storage place in a little while to see if they're buried somewhere in there, but failing that...I've got to get new copies.

Some of the stuff will be easy to replace.  In fact, I probably have them in some books that I know are in the storage space.  But, several of the tunes, particularly the ones from the early Paramount movies (e.g. "What Would You Do?) are going to be difficult.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Now that my April travels are over, I'm going to get back into my walking routine.  Today's iPod selection:  Elton John's ONE NIGHT ONLY.  Thanks for the concert report, DR Cillaliz!

LOL! (Laughing out LOUD!)   

Here's Melba Moore in PURLIE:    Was she a precursor to American Idol, I wonder?  The encore is especially thrilling, though!

Sounds like the Gardenia show will be most excellent, as usual.

My question for ASK BK DAY....are the Gardenia shows ever reviewed or written about in the local paper.....
