The Irish Rep is presenting a small version of NEW GIRL IN TOWN, with orchestrations by my adopted son Joshie:

DR Elmore, will you get to see the show?  Richard and I thought very highly of the one Irish Rep production we've seen and would go see this in a minute!  Thanks for sharing the video.

I told Joshie I woud see it between Aug 8 and 10. I would go sooner but he's away until then.

Philemon: Harvey and Tom both hate that album and will not allow its release.  I've tried for years.  What they WILL allow is the TV version, which I have on CD here.  It just doesn't sound great, but I suppose after five years I should send it up to my mastering guy and see what he can do with it.

I'm up and was up at eight-thirty thanks to some creep next door who is obviously either doing work for or keeping watch over that million dollar piece of crap.  The owners seem to spend most of their time out of town - heaven knows what they do with their poor dog during these long absences - just more entitled people who care only about themselves and nothing about boarding a dog for three weeks.

There's some lovely stuff in that show.

And some good songs, too.

Well I am off to auditions.  We shall see what we shall see.....of course I won't know anything before Monday night.....which gives me almost 24 hours to imagine that I got the part.

I'm back in London after a few days in Wales, hence my recent truancy. Communication is difficult out in them wild parts of Wales, where I can't even get a signal on my phone!

From DR Cilla:

Well I had another 5 hour nap.  I think that the sleep is really helping me heal. I think I've slept about 12-14 hours a day all week.   I'm not taking any pain medication except Aleve and may cut back on that tomorrow.  I have a ton of work to do this week so I'm hoping my mind will clear and I can get it done.   

Wonderful.  I'm constantly pleased to see how much care you are taking to heal.

I was asked to write a Christmas song for the East Coast Singer's Christmas album - it took quite a while for me to find something I thought was a good idea - we only knew it should be a little different and funny.  I wrote a funny ballad called This Christmas, finished it yesterday, did a little guide recording and chord chart for Lanny Meyers, who'll be orchestrating it, and that's that.

my very best friend has been my friend since we met on a church retreat in 1972 --- we have not lived in the same state (and often not eh same country!) since 1977 when she joined the Air Force - sometimes months go by without us speaking  - but  40 years later she is still my dearest most treasured friend and I whenever we speak on the phone or see one another it is as if we have never been apart

I am wearing my store bought hair and new Vicar glasses to the audition.  We shall see what it accomplishes.


What are you auditioning for today?  Aren't you already cast in MILLIE?

Since the wonderful restoration of FOLLIES is on its way.

I would like to see if BK can get the rights to restore the complete concert of Sondheim: A Musical Tribute which still has a lot of unreleased tracks including some marred by technical problems that I am sure PRO TOOLS could get rid of?

Also how about Schimdt & Jones' Philemon which as far as I know was only distributed by the composers and never had a commercial release
I want Philemon, too.

I was coughing up a lot of philemon last night.

I have not had a lot of friends (other than theater friends) during my lifetime.  I have had a few long-term close friends.  All but one of them have passed away.  Several were lost to AIDS, one I lost track of down in Oregon, and when I managed to track him down, he had died just two years ago.  Ironically, most of the really close friends that I have today are on this site (or were previously).  And then there is my friend, Sharry.  We have been friends since Revolutionary Times.  She was the first person I knew to post a "George Washington Slept Here" sign.

Good morning.  I slept another 12 hours yesterday and today woke up feeling almost normal.  I'm a bit sore, but definitely on the mend.  I need to find some range of motion exercises for my shoulder. That's the only thing my doctor recommended I should do.

After two years in physical therapy I might be able to help you with that.

The first exercise my therapist gave me is still the one I use the most.  I use it throughout the day no matter how silly I look. 

I plant my feet so I'm balanced well. 
I then bend over as if I'm reaching for my toes, going only as far as comfortable.
I let my arms relax and get them going in circles. 
Try 5-10 one way and then back in the other direction.

I attempted to find an example of this on the internet.  This is the best I could do.  It also looks uncomfortable while I find doing both at the same time relaxing.

I've always had a really close friend wherever I've lived but only a couple lifetime very close friends.   Paul is my closest friend in Sioux City.   We drive each other crazy from time to time, but that happens less often than it used to and it always passes.   The strongest part of our friendship is that we accept each other and our limitations, we aren't always there for each other to do the every day normal sort of thing but, when it really matters, like when I was sitting by the road, about to be loaded into an ambulance.... I knew he would drop everything and go to the emergency room and that's just what happened.

I have good friend's like that but they all live so far away.   I do have friends & acquaintances I could call in an emergency just because they are nice people.  In an emergency we want our friends.

I'm very lucky to be married to my best friend.  When Keith worked he was usually out of town during emergencies.
