I thought this turned out quite well; both the audio and the printed article.

I packed, had lunch, did errands and whatnot and went to hopefully pick up packages and an important envelope only to find that at one-thirty the mail place hadn't gotten the mail. I was not so happy and I'll now have to go back whenever they've got it - problematic, of course, because I had to not to banking until I know if the envelope is here or not. I also have sent all the singers their music and charts, so that's done. I'm also trying to figure out whether I should bring a mini-hard drive with me to have some documents on it, should I need to work on them - but I actually think that I can bring a tiny flash drive because the documents take up almost no space whatsoever. I think that's the ticket. And speaking of ticket, I've printed out my boarding pass, too.

Friday morning greetings! It's hard to believe the first full week of March is winding down and that we "spring ahead" tomorrow night.

It seems like we just "fell behind" a month ago!

Among many of his various other works he is credited with 'Cheyenne Warrior' (1994), an interracial love story, set in the wild west, starring Kelly Preston; 'Dillinger and Capone' (1995) starring Martin Sheen and F. Murray Abraham; and 'The Doorway' (1999) with Roy Scheider, which he also directed.

I could have sworn that said 'Cheyenne Warrior' starring Kelly Preston, Dillinger, and Capone.

I watched the POTO last night on PBS. It was good, but I guess I am just spoiled. First of all, Ramin sang well, but I felt that the WSMA was far better in the role. And after seeing the 92-minute Las Vegas Spectacular, I thought the full version was a bit tedious in places.

there was another hilarious story of a woman who investigated why Facebook had recommended some unknown woman as a friend and she discovered that this was her husband's other wife.

You know, I hate it when that happens.

I know someone whose husband had another wife. They discovered each other when he had a stroke and was in the hospital. Lucky for him, he died.

Didn't someone borrow that for a TV show? I've seen it happen on TV dramas....I guess they do get based on real-life events.

The other problem I had with watching it on PBS, I had no idea who the other Phantoms were besides Colm Wilkinson. No one ever said during the 42 pledge breaks, nor did they bother to put their names up on the screen when they were singing.

Did a Sherman Brothers tribute in class today. Hopefully they learned something. Made sure I included the musical numbers that were included in the Shermanized Word Medley, they loved all those.

Mail finally arrived and thankfully the important envelope was there. I then did my banking, got cash for the trip, and am now all prepared and can have a relaxing evening. I will finish all liner notes on the plane and in NY. I have all documents on the little teeny-tiny flash drive.

Also, while it's not 100% certain, it does look like we have Hal Linden for one of the upcoming Outside the Box episodes - 99% sure.

That's great. "Barney Miller" was always one of my favorites.

This is a hoot for any "Chorus Line" or "Absolutely Fabulous" fans:

Matthew, did they enjoy the music? Had they seen or heard it before?

Matthew · « **Reply #83 on:** March 09, 2012, 04:44:03 PM »

A lot of it they knew as we sing it in class. It was nice to show video also. It makes a connection. I showed Tall Paul, Let's Get Together, Hidgidus Fidgidus, Fortuosity, Substitutiary Locomotion, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (s clip with the Sherman Brothers at the piano along with Walt Disney), It's a Small World, The Tiki Room and Feed the Birds. Along with a one minute clip from the Sherman Brothers documentary (The Boys).
