Good morning, all! I slept well, and I have a busy day today. My first stop in the MTA office to initiate my senior citizen fare reduction. After that I have a round of photyocopying music for Drew Massey, the musicologst doing the liner notes for this New World Records release. That's followed up by a trip to the US post office to send te music over night to Drew. After al of that, we'llsee what new fresh hell awaits.
Yesterday afternoon was crazy; a very nice lady who has a great deal to do with the music of Victor Herbert learned of the EILEEN recording through a couple of my friends. I think she took it as a deliberate snub that I hadn't contacted her about it. Rather than call me or email me to ask about it, she sent several inquiries on the recording to various folk, even though she knew much more than she was letting on. I feel quite bad that I let the recording slip by her attention; there was no intention to slight anyone; July and the first weeks of August were a madhouse to finish the music, cast the singers, and record. What I'm not happy about is her current approach with her emails; it made for a testy and unpleasanr afternoon. It can only lead to more unpleasantness.
