I watched PUTTING IT TOGETHER on DVD over the weekend, and "discovered" Ruthie Henshall for the first time.

She is amazing.  Absolutely terrific.

Has anybody here ever worked with her?

TOD: 

Longest:  Somewhere around shoulder length for a few years, circa 1970-1974, something like that.

Shortest:  uh, right now.  What's left, I run a clipper over it myself.

Dear Larry,

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but the Playbill Steven Suskin review is less than stellar

Victor Herbert

DR Ben, thanks for posting this. Steven Suskin is clearly neither an operetta fan nor a musician, as his errors in his orchestration book attest to, and it's nice to know that he appreciates "Lysistrata Jones" (I did, too, but I never want to listen to a recording of it) over German lieder. We also learn he's not one to bother looking at the contents of a recording booklet before playing a CD, and he can't discuss the progress of music on Broadway between 1894 and 1924.

He certainly lets you know he hates the CD once he mentions the dread "German songs." So, he likes "Broadway," but he can't say much good there either. chacun ŕ son gout!

I'm not expecting everyone to like the set, and I expect that for everyone who enjoys it, another will not. That's life.

I am still a fan of Mr Suskin's work, even when I disagree wth him.

A very nice attitude, elmore.

Okay, in reference to DR ELMORE's post:  I've put that Weill into my Amazon cart.

I'm afraid I'm pretty ignorant re early 20th century musicals, too.  Will try to work on that.

And PICTURE MOMMY DEAD is on its way to me as we speak.  I've definitely improved with age this past week.  If I say so myself.

Doesn't John Lithgow's role in THE COLUMNIST sound very similar to his role in SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS?

There was a nice article in VARIETY about Alex North and Ghost The Musical as well as Streetcar's revival.

And in other Pleasure Programmed (TM) approved news:  according to the infallible wags at Reader's Digest, one of Laura Nyro's early champions was none other than Stephen Sondheim.

That sounds logical.  A lot of Laura Nyro's early champions were gay.

The taping is finished, and I can only wait for the next 8 numbers to show up. I can't order more paper till I hear from Joshie, so I'm on hold.

Time for a bagel break, and then I'm off to the library. I want to look at the Noel Coward exhibition today as well as research.

From DR John G:
Quote
I got the Nook Color and I haven't had time to use it enough yet to judge whether I like it. I like being able to read a chapter or so before going to bed, but that's hardly more than five or 10 minutes

I am having a hard time checking email on it, so I have to work on that. That was one reason I wanted the Color. It was a tablet,but one that doesn't do movies or games,  neither of which I wanted.

DR Cilla has a good idea about getting extra instructions at B & N.  I'm likely doing things the hard way.

I have two issues with my Nook Color.  Sometimes the page won't turn.  The best way to fix that, IMHO, is to change to a smaller text.  Once fixed I go back to the larger text.  This really isn't a big deal to me, the big deal is tapping away trying to open the box to change the text.  My other issue is connecting to the internet.  Sometimes it takes a good many attempts to get it to work.

I can see how much better Keith's iPad is but I don't care for the size.

I set my Nook so it wouldn't automatically turn everything horizontal just because I tilted the Nook, which I tend to do when reading in bed.  When using email wait until everything is loaded before opening or deleting anything otherwise it is too easy to press on the wrong box.

Good morning, all! Last night's final dream had me discovering the original. crumbling manuscript for the Overture to "Finian's Rainbow" on the shelf of a public library and fighting with the librarian because it was in the circulating collection. God knows what provoked that dream.


Do you know which library?  I would follow the suggestion of the dream.
