As soon as we finished, Peter headed north to Penn Station,and I went east to Sixth Avenue and hopped on a bus that fortuitously stopped as I got to the stop. It's been a long day, but I am really tired and very happy to be home. Tomorrow morning, I shall bind the scores and finish this project.



Who was it who said Lead us not into Penn Station

Good evening.  Back from an Oy! rehearsal.  Don't ask.

The kids are very accomplished at some of this, but tonight was from Hell, making it hard to believe we're "opening" in three nights.

I'm tellin' you, I was the King of Rap, baby.  More amusingly, Norman Martin, who wrote the lyrics, was a seventy-year-old Jew, who also co-wrote the book for 70 Girls 70 and who had a long artistic relationship with Shari Lewis.

DR VIXMOM your envelope was posted this morning via FIRST CLASS so you should have it sometime before summer.  I also included a copy of my audition disk that contains PIPPIN music only tracks so that you can sing along whenever you wish.


thank you so very much --  I am not sure the family will thank you for the music only tracks as they try to curtail my efforts to express myself through song -" nails on a chalkboard" I believe was the most recent description of my lovely singing voice, but I , for one am eagerly looking forward to your gift    :-* :-* :-*

How did the quote under my avatar become "Be careful out there" I wonder - I don't recall changing it. 

Is it a visit from someone on - Angel Street?

Good morning, all! Today is the birthday of William Shakespeare, and I may celebrateit tonight by watching one of his plays on DVD. I'm partial to these DVDs:
  Much Ado About Nothing (the Joseph Papp production with Sam Waterston, Kathleen Widdoes, and my beloved Barney Hughes)
  Henry V (I like both Olivier and Branagh productions)
  Twelfth Night (the Trevor Nunn film)

Last night I slept terribly: too much tsuris over the DEAREST ENEMY liner notes, and I must deal with issues on that today. I dreamed I was back at The Drama Book Shop, which was located on a street somewhere between Seventh Avenue and 52nd Street and Oz. At 5:30 Iwaswide awake with the DEAREST ENEMY song "Bye and Bye" running through my mind.

Today, i have a date with my colleague Peter Foley to print and bind full scores for ROBERTA. I hope it goes well. We have to use the huge binder, and I've never worked with it. We'll bind three copies: one for me, and two for the conductor and the producer.

The TOD:
If Love Were All
That Is The End Of The News
Mad Dogs And Englishmen
I've Been To A Marvelous Party
Sail Away
London Pride
I'll Follow My Secret Heart (the verse is better than the refrain)

 




The Branagh version is my favorite version of Much Ado About Nothing   and the Trevor Nunn version of Twelfth Night

Its too late to pull them out tonight but maybe tomorrow

I'm watching The Great Gatsby - the Farrow/Redford version.  It's VERY slow.

Anyone remember the character Sidney Freedman on M*A*S*H?  Well, the actor who played him, Allan Arbus, just died.  He was 95 years old!  AND he didn't start acting until just before he started working on M*A*S*H:

Quote
Arbus’ first major acting role came as Christ-like figure Jesse in director Robert Downey Sr.’s 1972 cult film “Greaser’s Palace,” which also starred the director’s young son, Robert Downey Jr.

He shot to prominence the role of the acerbic psychiatrist Sidney Freedman on “M*A*S*H” in 1973, a year after the Korean War comedy-drama began.

oh I liked him --- RIP  Allan Arbus

Good afternoon. I spent the day with a scientist and photographer doing a study in the desert about winged insects. There were many bugs.

 I can honestly say this is one walk with Laura I would cheerfully miss -  bird watching I am all for  (great pictures yesterday BTW)  but bug watching makes me feel itchy

The Lincoln Center Gala was really great.  One of my Barbra friends and I waited outside before the ceremony and saw some of the celebrities come out of a tent (where they had been talking to media people).  We saw Liza, Blythe Danner, Kris Kristofferson, who very nicely came over to sign a guy's LP, Catherine Deneuve and Pierce Brosnan.   And most important of all---Barbra herself!   I couldn't believe it--I had taken pictures of the others and then my camera died--apparently the battery ran down!  At least my friend took a video on her iphone.  

oh no!  What a time for your camera to fail!

BK, it doesn't negate the fact that whenever it was put up, i didn't type it, that it makes no sense under a picture of a stage door, and - I guess this sirt of clinches it - that I now have found the hard copy of the DataLounge post which used that Hill Street Blues line in a sinister post that was by one of the cyberstalkers.  

Please send me that post via e-mail.

Back from the opening of A Night in Old San Antonio. I worked a sausage booth, and I'm exhausted.

Glad you enjoyed yourself, KevinH, and really bummed for you about your camera battery.

So, when did Liza and Barbra become friends? Barbra said they were in the New York Times.

The photographer got better photos than I did. But I saw some bugs she didn't see.

I may or may not have been stung today. If I was, it wasn't very bad. If I wasn't ... what was that?

I'd printed it out a while ago, they've since taken it down from their site.  (Send me a fax number and I can fax it.)
