DR Elmore, is this the Greek-American music teacher you were talking about the other night?

Dolores Revelos

She died on Thursday, but retired from the school district not long after you moved to NYC.

I woke up out of a strange dream this morning.  I would have to call it a "British" sex dream.  In other words, a lot of discussion on the subject, but nothing ever really happened.

No. Delores Revelos was my music teacher through grade school. i was quite fond of her.

Loyce Martin would remember the name of the older teacher who died in the 1970s. She was a wonderful singer. I'd wanted her for Mrs Peachum when I did THREEPENNY OPERA in 1973. She was in THE MEDIUM with Loyce around 1976.

Well, as I listen to EILEEN, I can only imagine how proud she would be of you!

Well, once again, HHW sent me to my file of show and concert programs and, lo and behold, I still have one from THE MEDIUM!  Was the teacher Lileka Politz?  All I really remembered from that production was being Loyce's backstage dresser and trying to untangle her from the organza and Velcro mess that was suggested by the prima donna leading lady.

Enjoying the radio show.  The interview section at the top was great, but I hope there will be more.

Lileka Politz! Yes, that was she. She was tall and thin, rather like actress Flavia Arcaro, She would have been fab in Margaret Dumont roles. She was such a sweet lady.

re the broadcast: our narrator's plot is much more fascinating that either the synopsis I gave in the recording or the original. He's pulling things right and left out of thin air, and he missed the point completely that Act one is morning, Act Two is afternoon, and Act Three is night of the same day. When he said that Barry O'Day was a smuggler and  missed the fact that Lady Maude was a friend of Barry's father, I thought, let's see how he works this plot out!

You can listen to it later, I believe, DR Ginny. It looks as though they've got previous broadcasts online. I believe there will be more of me (Lordy!) when the opera is over.

We took a nice walk today & then walked around outside enjoying the landscaping.  Well, I walked & Keith pulled weeds & trimmed bushes.

Way too many plants are not doing well.  The landscaper will be out this week to see how things are.  The plants are guaranteed for a year.

I am watching some of THE BIBLE on the History Channel.....and hoping TAR will be on time tonight.

Last week's elimination was the most useless and unnecessary in the history of the show!

"A useless and unnecessary elimination" -

that reminds me of that Simpsons episode where they say "Here are the fifty gorgeous beauty queens from all around the country.  We'll be back to eliminate 40 of them right after this message.'

or something like that.

Back from a fun lunch with the Staitman clan - we went to the Kansas City Barbecue - they had ribs, and I had a barbecue brisket sandwich - great, as always.  I looked up the calorie count of the biggest barbecue brisket sandwich I could find online and it was a surprisingly low 495 calories, so I'm sure I had under eight hundred, and then I did my three-mile jog, so I'm fine.

Then I wrote all of the commentary but the last two songs, which I'll do later this evening.  For now, I'm taking a break and relaxing.

I just ate about three pounds of corned beef with all the trimmings, and that barbecue brisket sandwich still sounds good!

I am helpless when it comes to these kinds of meats.

Thanks to a needless distraction, I missed the latter part of the radio program so will have to ketchup on it from the archives later.

During the broadcast, I tidied up my storage area, and I am very happy that it's so neat and organized now.
Tomorrow morning, I'll bring a storage carton home from Toyland and pack up some more things for the Miami University Library.

I listened until the Rise Stevens selection and will find DR Elmore in the archives.
