Looks like TD is out of a job, sadly.
Very sorry to hear that.

Good Evening!

Well... I somehow ended up spending about six hours at the mall today. I did a lot of window-shopping, a lot of browsing, a lot of walking, some "dreaming", but not a lot of buying. I found myself fascinated(?) by how generally ugly and impractical a lot of today's clothes are. Or something like that.

Oh...

And I did meet up with my friend, Andy, for a nice dinner and catch up session.

It's hot!

It wasn't too bad here in NoVA today - although, I did spend most of it inside the A/C's comfort of Tysons Corner. However, it did feel like it cooled off a bit when I was heading home after dinner. Alas, from the weather report I just watched, it looks like that was the only cooling we'll be experiencing over the next couple of days. *And the Heat Index in Iowa was 126(!?!?!?!?).

I also enjoyed Barbara Cook's show very much. Considering her age, her voice is amazing. She did one strange thing at the end - she sang the very last song without a mic. We thought she was going to belt out something really incredibly loud and show everyone she could sing without a mic, but instead she sang something really quiet, and we didn't get the POINT of that. We just felt sorry for everyone in the back row who probably couldn't hear the song at all.

DR Amy - I love when Barbara Cook does her unamplified encore. That [/i]is[/i] the point of it! It makes people (lean in to) listen. -And if the place she was singing was designed properly, I'm betting her voice carried to the back row.

*On a related note, I still marvel at the fact that Angela Lansbury could be heard over a full orchestra in the Winter Garden during Mame. And then there's Merman, etc.

Shirley Jones does a very nice one-person show, although you kind of never know what her voice is going to sound like that night. Sometimes she sounds great and other times you think it may be time for her to retire.


NPR did a story a few months ago on Shirley Jones' new CD/album. After listening to the segment and the clips they played, well... I sort of wished they hadn't. :-\

I just stuck my head out the front door to put some mail out for pick-up and it's hot, humid, and smoggy out there.  Good day to stay inside in the AC!

DR Ginny - When I was Tysons earlier, I noticed that the Vera Bradley store is finally open. -The "laundry bags" are actually kind of cute. ;)

And talking of Cabaret

I've been listening to the 1993 studio recording of Cabaret.

DR ELMOORE orchestrated the four bonus tracks from the film: Mein Herr, Maybe This Time, Money, Money & Tiller Girls

No, I did not score "Maybe This Time." I believe the wonderful conductor John Owen Edwards ochestrated that.

TOD:
I have not seen/heard as much cabaret as I'd like, and I do usually prefer the more "intimate" venues. That said,

Barbara Cook at the Kennedy Center
The Washington, DC Gay Men's Chorus

I often think the same thing about today's women's clothes. I did some fashion design briefly long, long, long ago. But if the stuff in the stores today is what sells, then count me out!

Jose, you know one of the things I miss most about Northern Virginia? Dennis Owens' morning show on WGMS. I do sometimes listen to KUSC, but it's not the same.

DR Jose, that is a nice looking bunch of musicians! And seeing you all countrified ... well, it looks rather good!

I also like the look, especially on DR Jose.

Thank You, DR Jane. -I was kind of surprised at how semi-flattering that shirt (pattern) is on me.

More Brent Barrett news

http://www.playbill.com/news/article/152825-Chicago-Shakespeare-Theaters-Follies-Will-Star-Brent-Barrett-Caroline-OConnor-Susan-Moniz-Hollis-Resnick

Now, this one I'd love to see.

At least they're smart enough to cast a lady who dances well for Phyllis, which is more than that idiot Eric Schaefer did for his current production! Caroline's a friend, but I'm not sure she'd be my choice for the role. I do wish her well.

Alas, WGMS 103.5 ceased to exist in 2007 during the whole re-alignment and re-positioning of WETA and WTOP. WETA does use the call letters WGMS for their "repeater" out in Hagerstown, MD, while 103.5 is now the main place on the dial for WTOP (news and traffic).

I watched and episode of WAGON TRAIN featuring Tom Tryon and Kathleen Crowley...love 'em both!

Then I worked on my Bill (She Gods of Shark Reef) Cord interview.

Now I think it is time to go to bed.

Finished with my viewing - you know you're really overtired when you nod off during a Bourne movie - it only lasted ten minutes, I rewound and watched till the end.
