The right side of my brain is thinking PORGY AND BESS but my left side keeps humming songs from SHOWBOAT.

How 'bout this one: does anyone know the contemporary Christian tune (in many modern hymnals): Here I Am, Lord. I cannot hear the second four bars of the first eight without hearing "she was bringing up three very lovely girls."

After reading the posts I modified this & took out EASY. Obviously I was too late.

I'm usually asleep by the time the pause after the "Here I Am, Lord" phrase. Hopelessly trite tune.

DR Jane - Yep, you're supposed to get some major SNOW. -DRs George, TCB, Jed and Ann too.

So far we have had a little snow followed by rain. Our schools are still open. DR's JMK & MBarnum should be snowed in before we are.

I was sitting in the conservatory this morning and suddenly became aware of the noise of things falling onto the roof. I looked outside and saw a squirrel (possibly the same one I always see) sitting on the roof of the house, throwing nuts onto the conservatory roof.

In the middle of the night there was probably a foot or so of snow outside on the deck. This morning, it's all more or less gone, with torrential rain and winds replacing it.

It is windy here as well.

If it helps your timeline any, Petula Clark and the Cassidys were in the Broadway production of "Blood Brothers" from Aug. 16, 1993 to June 5, 1994.

It is probably an English cousin to the squirrel I have posted about who does exactly the same thing here at our house.

Oh... I made sure to add the Simon Rattle, Glyndeborne recording of "Porgy & Bess" to my iPad playlist in iTunes. That should be good in-flight music.

I need to order this. As much as I love the Houston Grand Opera version, I hear that the Glyndeborne is incredible.

It is a rather wonderful recording. However, I do agree with some of the critics who complained(?) that some of the tempos are a tad slow or a tad "strict" in places.

However, Harolyn Blackwell's "Summertime" is truly languid - in a good way. I've mentioned this here before, but... When I was doing CARMEN JONES at the Kennedy Center, Harolyn Blackwell was our Micaela, er, I mean Cindy Lou. I asked her about the exquisitely slow tempo for "Summertime". Her response was something along the lines of: "If you've ever spent a summer in Charleston, you wouldn't be doing anything fast."

*I also believe the set is now midline- if not budget-priced now.
