Well, you've read the notes (and if you haven't, just click on the Haines His Way on the top left of the page), the notes had a light bulb moment, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they haven't had a light bulb moment yet, hence haven't come home.

And the word of the day is: OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY!

Smoke on your pipe and put that in.

Sorry all, to have appeared to be so rude - I went to bed last night, forgetting to log out.

I just learned that a lost neighborhood puppy has been found, so that's always heartwarming news.

I have not seen a production of Next to Normal. I listened to the album a few times when it first came out. I think it is time to re-visit.

Here's an illicit videotaping of the complete original Broadway production:

TV Show Cast Members Doing Commercials

The shows are from the 1950s and 1960s. Sky King does a spot along with the Lone Ranger and Patty Duke. Donna Douglas, Buddy Ebsen, Irene Ryan and Max Baer, Jr. are there, along with Beaver and Dennis the Menace and others. There is a lot of

Pete and Gladys

Remember that show with Harry Morgan (long before MASH) and Cara Williams?

I remember that soft dog food in a plastic bag, called Prime. I can't find anything about it now, there are all sorts of dog food products called Prime or that have Prime as part of the name so that one has fallen through the cracks

I knew if I looked long enough I could find something. I started looking with Gaines Prime and that pulled up all sorts of stuff.

Many people don't know that in its first draft, Adam Guettel's show was called The Lightbulb in the Piazza...

Good morning, all! Hopefully, today will see the finish of the ROBERTA orchestra parts. I'd like to be at Toyland around 9, so that I can get the A/C going before Peter arrives at 10. I just heard on the hews that the temperature will reach 82 today.

I need to make a bank stop on the way, and that's my day.

Lots to catch up on from yesterday.

George, interesting that from who auditions - can come a concept. Is the person being a "diva" backstage code for just being larger than life, or a handful?

Have we talked about Cake-pops here on HHW - cake on a stick.

Apparently, the guy that proposed to his girlfriend on a plane served cake-pops to the entire plane.

Interesting statement made on CNN:

"If the movie you end up with is the same movie you envisioned when you started, then you didn't listen to anyone else along the way."

Not sure if that's true, but it was on CNN.

It’s been a Blu-only week:

THE HUSTLER (1961)
THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP
PERFECT FRIDAY – It’s a long time since I saw this British caper film but time has not been kind to it. By 1970 the “swinging London” elements already seemed out of date and the trendy editing looks dated as well. What’s interesting about this release is that apart from John Dankworth’s original score, the disc also contains a version of the film with an alternate unused score (as well as some different dialogue) completely different in style to Dankworth’s light, breezy jazz, being a bit like 18th century dance pastiche music which at the end adds Ray Conniff style vocals! No information is given as to who composed this alternate score.
