Well, you've read the notes, the notes ended on a high note (Ab), and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently singing a high C for Cow.

I don't know about ending June on a high note. I'll be glad to see the back of this month because in the UK it's been the wettest June since records began in 1910. In fact the whole period April - June has been the wettest since 1910. With the Olympics starting towards the end of July everyone is hoping for an improvement but there's no good weather in sight yet.

Morning all.

That is all.

Ben · « **Reply #4 on:** June 30, 2012, 03:13:58 AM »

Glad to hear about Follies.

It's supposed to be a scorcher today.

We are finally getting over to Lincoln Center to see the Noel Coward exhibit and the Revues exhibit in the smaller space. While there we may take out a DVD for perusal this evening, depending on the heat in the living room when we return.

We will be on Long Island for the 4th of July and a few days after that. I'm looking forward to the time away.

It's already 79 degrees at 6:09am. I have to go out to run a few errands later (around 8am). Don't know what it will be like then.

I was just going to report that it's 79 outside!

Good morning, all! I slept terribly: around 2am, i turned off the AC. It seemed to do nothing but make noise, and the rest of the night was lousy. I will leave very shortly for Toyland and work there for part of the day in the AC.

I have nothing else to report.

Have fun at the NYPL exhibits, DR Ben! They're both quite interesting.

Good morning, all.

Even though it's way too early on a Saturday morning to be saying good morning or anything else.

I'd turned the (central) a/c off at midnight because the house was plenty cool; in fact, almost too cold. That should have been fine till maybe mid-morning, but I woke up at 6 a.m., and though the temperature itself was still fine, the air was just too stale, or too still. Except I had a fan blowing. But it "needed something". Turned the a/c back on, and all was right again, but here I am with a few hours less sleep than needed. I do not look forward to the next electric bill. Fortunately, it's a day with no particular obligation to do any particular thing, and I'll get a nap later.

So here I sit, drinking coffee and looking forward to "Follies" at 7:30 in the a.m.

I really MUST slow down when reading --- I read that " it's been the wettest June since weather began in 1910"

Good news about FOLLIES. I have never seen the show. I have the original cast LP.....but haven't listened to it in many years....decades.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 30, 2012, 04:53:36 AM »

OH - it was the singer's show last night....the Kritzerland Show is tomorrow night. okay...

Jrand73 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 30, 2012, 04:54:21 AM »

At the store about 4 o'clock, there was a lot of clouds and some breeze, but no rain or storm....none at home either....must have missed us by a few miles.

Thank you, DR Jrand61, for posting that. I needed an opening in which to confess the same. Embarrassing, considering I've lived one hour from the city for 23 years. I have LPs and/or CDs, but this upcoming release by MR BK is going to be my inroad to this masterpiece, not to mention my salvation and redemption, all in one neat little package.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #19 on:** June 30, 2012, 05:38:47 AM »

Okay, what I have are the original cast LP on Capitol (!!) and the 2-LP concert with the NY Philharmonic. For music, the big "Follies Songbook", I think it's called. It's a start.

Not a creature is stirring.

Actually, no creature in sight.

They're not a Kritzerland album, but how about doing a show about the songs of:

Paul Francis Webster and Sammy Fain

Aside from the fact that they were both friends and clients, they did write some terrific tunes.

Druxy · « **Reply #24 on:** June 30, 2012, 07:49:53 AM »

In fact, I might even fly into town for that one.

Druxy · « **Reply #25 on:** June 30, 2012, 07:51:39 AM »

Amazon is going to start charging sales tax to Texas residents starting tomorrow, so I'm pre-ordering DVDs today.

John G. · « **Reply #26 on:** June 30, 2012, 07:58:20 AM »

Good morning, all.

And cooling vibes to all. (Surprisingly it's only 80 here now as of 9:51 a.m.)

John G. · « **Reply #27 on:** June 30, 2012, 07:59:06 AM »

Thanks, Druxy. Off to order a couple of items on Amazon today.

TOD:

How about redoing one of the cast albums and reinterpreting the songs?

Have you done a Jerry Herman show yet? I can't remember all of the previous themes.

Since you've had problems casting some of the men's parts, how about a show devoted to women's songs (even if you had a man, in a vein similar to David Kernan singing "Could I Leave You?").
