Good morning, all! I slept very late, not particularly by choice but because around 1:15, after 3 or so hours of sleep, I awoke obsessing over recording in Dublin. I spent a couple of sleepless hours fretting over logistics of recording Jerome Kern's ROBERTA and anxiety attacks over DEAREST ENEMY. Around 2:15 I turned on the lights, played at the computer for a bit, and went back to bed around 4:30, when there was no one left to pester on Facebook or nothing left to purchase on Amazon. I slept until 10am, and here I am, fretting on how well I'll sleep tonight. It's exhausting maintaining these neuroses.
Today, I'm not doing much. I will listen here to the masters for EILEEN, and tomorrow at Toyland I'll listen on the superior sound system once owned by the late John McGlinn who never purchased anything cheap. I've got several DVDs I might watch, and I might have dinner with my good friend Bruce Pomahac, depending on his survival of two exhausting days of socialzing.
I had a nice email from former DR MattH , thanking me for my card and wishing everyone on HHW well.
