Well, I guess I am ready to go to my appointment.  I just hope this doctor got plenty of rest last night.

Vibes for a smooth procedure and great relief!

Thanks, Ginny.

Vibes to TCB.  Hopefully there will be no epileptic nuns in the waiting room before you.

Speaking of which, after our discussion of BEN CASEY yesterday, I went online and got several old CDs of TV themes, including collections conducted/arranged by Nelson Riddle, Neal Hefti and Pete Rugolo (who just passed away), all of them containing the BEN CASEY theme.  Whatever happened to Valjean?  No, not the Les Mis one.

TOD:

My favorite costume was the year a friend who was working in the Temple University theatre department invited a few of us to do a last minute raid on the department costume closet.  The pickings were slim, but I managed to put together a strange costume consisting of an Elizabethan leather vest over a neon green puffy shirt with bright red tights.  I added a navy blue velvet waist cape, armored boots, leather gloves, an orange and yellow sombrero and a commedia dell'arte mask with a broken nose.  I also carried a sword.  I had no idea what I was supposed to be but I was easy to spot at the party that night.

And in TV mode, I am listening to one of the great I, SPY CDs this morning.

Pulcinella on acid?

[JMK]

It looks like I'll be interviewing Brian Henson soon.  I'm enthused about that.

[JMK]

I had to pull some strings to get that interview.

(Rim shot please).

[Ron Pulliam]

Buh-DUM-dum!

[Ron Pulliam]

May today's medical treatment bring you relief, TCB!

A very quiet Halloween in my building.  We don't have trick-or-treaters in the building.

I believe trick-or-treating in Oakland is confined to various neighborhoods. Parents always walk with their kids, too.

Last night's "Castle" was wonderful!

It is just me, or does anyone else find that Stana Katic's "look" has become very chic.  She's a beautiful woman and she looks particularly fantastic this season.

Doctor visit vibes for DR TCB.

[Jrand73]

DR TCB - I was a loser on Sunday but that's okay.  My friend Ric won for his playing of The Chef in Don't Drink the Water which was very funny.

And yes DR JMK I recognized the one degree of separation from FF on that Ben Casey episode.....

Aura 18 also worked with him.  We talked quite a bit about it back in the day.

I saw this headline and immediately did a double-take.

Speaking of VARIETY, I just read this morning that SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE is headed to Broadway.

[JMK]

In fact, JR, now that I think about it, it may have even been another BEN CASEY episode that Aura 18 was on.

Good morning, all! I had a strange dream involving Barbra Streisand, my evil brother Macbeth, and a flower shop where I was trying to help a customer buy plants. That's all I remember now. Any dream with Streisand can only be considered a nightmare in my book - sorry, DR KevinH! - so I guess it was a Halloween nightmare.

Yesterday, when I got home from rehearsal, I had a little dinner, wrote out the new bass part for "The Cherry Tree Carol," read the mail and fell over. This morning is a quiet one; we don't begin until noon, so I can spend a liesurely morning, then do some banking on my way downtown. Today, we go from noon to six pm. We're staggering lunch breaks between 2:30 and 4 today so the men can learn "Good Old Mountain Dew" while the ladies are out and then the ladies can learn "How Far Is It To Bethlehem" during the men's break.

The group handled some of my crunchier harmonies quite well yeterday: I expected a revolt after 8 bars of "I Wonder As I Wander," but it was sounding quite good by the end of its session, and the new finale of the show, the New Year Carol, sounds realy good, although I'm still not sure if I like what I wrote for its 16-bar finish. It will either grow on me or I'll rewrite it for the next go-round.

We now have a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Christmas-Up-the-Holler/224697947591482?ref=ts&sk=wall

More coffee!

Well, I liked the page, but I can't explore it until later. Looking forward to it. Love the poster.

By Stoppard or someone just as good? Anonymous, maybe?

A character in one of Elmore's dreams?

Yep, Stoppard.  By himself.

Gwenyth Paltrow is old enough to play Queen Elizabeth now, right?

[JMK]

I received an advance copy of LARRY CROWNE yesterday and I must say my suspicions after seeing the film's previews about Tom Hanks, botox and/or plastic surgery, seem to have been well founded.

[JMK]

Cilla, will you be participating in the caucuses?

[JoseSPiano]

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!

I'm up, I'm up... And I'm in tech.
