Well, you've read the notes, the notes were confusing, and now it is time for you to post until the confusing cows come home.

And the word of the day is: RISORGIMENTO!

Apparently Thursday still thinks it's Friday since it tried to be at the top of the board.

And a very happy haineshisway.com birthday to the creator of this here site, Mr. Mark Bakalor - even though everything is out of his hands and has finally been brought into current times, he did all the heavy lifting back in November of 2001.

DR George - EGG SALAD AT SUBWAY?? I wonder how long it will take for the bay area to catch on. I'm a HUGE fan of egg salad. I can't wait!

I, too, love good egg salad. It's one thing Art's Deli does well - I have their tri-salad - two scoops of turkey salad, one scoop of egg salad. But I'm very particular about my egg salad.

It was quite good...just a tad too much mayo, though, but still tasty.

There used to be a local restaurant called Jo Mama's and they had some of the best egg salad in town. They used homemade bread and very large loafs, so the sandwiches were very big, too. They also had the best locally made pizza. It was also some of the most expensive pizza in town, but once in a while, it was worth it.

Sadly, they closed a long time ago.

That is all.

other than L'il Abner and 7 Brides For 7 Brothers I'm not sure what other songs Gene DePaul has composed without looking it up.

Michael · « **Reply #13 on:** June 28, 2013, 03:39:11 AM »

It's not a favorite Gene DePaul, but a strange footnote in the history of The Academy Awards. There was song called Pig Foot Pete which received a nomination for best of the year.

NOTE: This nomination is a mystery. Both the nominations list and the program from the Awards dinner list the song as being from Hellzapoppin', a 1942 release for Awards purposes. The song does not appear in that film, but did appear in Keep 'Em Flying, a 1941 release from the same production company and studio, and was therefore ineligible for a 1942 nomination.

Here is the song from Keep 'Em Flying

One of the stranger songs that Meredith Wilson wrote was called CHICKEN FAT. It was recorded by Robert Preston

Michael · « **Reply #15 on:** June 28, 2013, 03:50:02 AM »

But believe it or not Meredith Wilson's biggest money making song was "Til There Was You" thanks to a recording by The Beatles!

And we learn that their favorite American music group is called "Sophie Tucker"

Good morning, all! I will shortly head down to Toyland, where I will meet Rob Berman foe an extensive look at the ROBERTA score. I must also call Kim Criswell, who's staying at agent Jim Wilhelm's, and,meet up with her over the weekend.

DR JohnG, I know nothing about recording plans for the Blitzstein. Yesterday afternoon, after the lunch break, the lady composer who's supervising this summer series showed up to listen. I thought she behaved badly.

I got home to find a nice email from Anne Swisher Oakley, a grade school-high school friend I've not seen since 1968. In 1966, she played cello for a Miami University Theatre recording session, possibly my very first orchestration. After that, I lost touch with her and her husband, another friend from grades 1-12, and we've reconnected through our class valedictorian who's now acting as the Middletown Class of 1964 Central. I always loved Anne, and I'm happy that we are back in touch. Whenever I've written a cello line, I think of her.

Before I head downtown, I've got to stop at my bank. I have no idea how long I'll be at Toyland today, but I want to get the A/C going and print some things to give Rob.

Good morning, all.

A bit groggy from the Benedryl, which did allow me to sleep last night. At least most of the night. Or maybe I'm groggy from the first part of "Django."

So DR Jane what did you have to do to get your books back on your new nook?

Ginny · « **Reply #26 on:** June 28, 2013, 05:59:01 AM »

Friday morning greetings from the train! We, and a bunch of hockey fans, are on our way to Chicago. There seem to be some other librarians aboard, too.

Jennifer · « **Reply #27 on:** June 28, 2013, 05:59:04 AM »

And speaking of NOOKS, it was my understanding that they are getting rid of/going to stop making their TABLETS but not their regular nook ereaders. And they are not going to stop selling ebooks. So right now it probably shouldn't be a problem.

It's sort of confusing to me how amazon and kindles can be doing so well yet the numbers for B&N were so bad.

You can tell the "librarian" section of the bleachers at the hockey arena. They're the quietest.
