Well, you've read the notes, the notes were short and sweet and also sweet and short, and now it is time for you to post until the short and sweet cows come home.

Well, so far I've slept two hours. I hate when that happens, especially when I've finally been catching up on my sleep.

Thursday morning greetings! It's clear and sunny here in SW Ohio - something we really deserve after all the gloomy rain.

Good morning, all! Well, the vicodin didn't kill me. I'm sure the news will cheer my friends and aggravate my enemies. I bet that Lady M had already figured out what she'd do with her extra share of the Ohio property/
Surprisingly, since I'd been expecting all day to be rendered unconscious by the drug, I had a helluva time getting to sleep. Unsurprisingly, there were several bizarre dreams, including my managing a bus/recording tour. All I remember is being in the now-defunct Patelspn's Music Shop on West 56th Street.

My gums are still tender from the pressure of the dentist's work, especially the lower left jaw, but everything seems much more pain free than yesterday.

This morning I learned that Jack Gottlieb, who was Bernstein's faithful acolyte for years, died at age 80 of prostate cancer. Jack was a peculiar bird who worshipped Lenny, wrote his catalogue of works and many of his program and record notes, as well as a rather fauning book about working with LB last year. Jack was a strange man with a lot of baggage that kept me at arm's length, but a very good one. I had met him through the Gay Men's Chorus when they performed one of his choral pieces around 1982. He also was a good composer. I can't say we were friends but we were friendly.

Today, two priorities: the EILEEN edits I did not begin yesterday and the laundry.

Also shocked to learn of Jack Gottlieb's passing through an internet list. We hadn't seen him in many years, but had seen him quite a few times for a period in the 1990's.

I did wonder this morning and imagine he would have been pleased to know that his accomplishments would be recalled in a lovely obit such as this one in the Guardian in the U.K.

TOD: Fried chicken, chicken-fried chicken, chicken-fried bacon, bacon, fried artichoke hearts, fried butter, fried Oreos, fried fish, fried hush puppies, fried turkey, fried shrimp, fried oysters ... Haven't met too many fried foods I haven't liked, when fried properly. But the funniest thing: I don't fry anything at home.

As fro gravies,, I haven't met too many I haven't liked. For Easter, there were two, one from the crown roast and a red-eye gravy from the ham. I hadn't had red-eye in years, but it's now sharing the top of the list.

It's my favorite Shakespeare play, and I would love to see it. I've only seen it live once and that was at the Old Vic in London with Peter Hall's Company in 1998. However, since I'm currently in cash flow hell, I sincerely doubt it.

Jack was a weird bird. When I first met him, it was in the beginning of the AIDS panic, with members of the Men's Chorus dropping like flies. He lived on West 79th Street, which was a short walk. I'd go over to visit occasionally, snce we'd become friendly and he borrowed some books of mine. He was writing a book on the influence of Jewish music on popular American music, and he did a spectacular program one evening at the old Village Gate. Whenever I'd come to visit, Jack would get into these heavy "I-know-I've-got-AIDS-and I'm gonna-die" discussions, and then one day he made a big pass at me. I kept him at arm's length after that!

Still, we remained friendly and whenever I'd see him, he'd say "I've got books to return to you." I have no idea now what they might even be! The last time I saw him was at Charlie Harmon's "Farewell New York" party. Charlie had been Bernstein's personal assistant, and he was in charge of Bernstein's publishing for a while until that ugly toad Harry Kraut drive him to quit.

I'm saving the rest for the memoirs.
