3, ye gods!

[bk]

Announced, averted a problem, went back to bed for a couple of hours (I think I got six hours overall - just couldn't fall asleep last night, but at least I was resting), and have been printing orders.

Time to close up shop and head for home.

[Ben]

Have a great trip, DR Doug R - sounds wonderful! Post a photo or two if you get a chance!

Thanks DR singdaw. I'll try and do that.

Jack Benny
Don Rickles
Groucho Marx
Abbott & Costello
Jimmy Durante
Sid Caesar

All of these guys, too....except Sid Caesar

What have you got against Sid Caesar?

[singdaw]

I don't know, DR Druxy.  And he makes a pretty good pizza, too!

[singdaw]

Or was that a salad?

TOD:

Stand ups:
Roseanne Barr
Joan Rivers - years ago
Richard Pryor

This is pretty much my list of UNfavorite comedians.

And tonight, I start rehearsal for In the Heights.  And that's all I'll say about that.  If I start posting in Spanish in the next few weeks, I apologize now.

I'm sorry.

"In the Heights" was one of the musicals I simply endured.

I received a very nice email from someone in France who used one of my foster mama cat videos to rescue a kitten that was stuck in an air vent. This video has had over 20,000 views, which astounds me. People waste a lot of time on youtube.

Good morning, all!  I wish everyone a good start for their week.  I will shortly head down to Toyland. I've got a lot of orchestra parts to print, so I can begin corrections. On my way down, I'll stop at the bank and cash in my jar of coins.

DR George, I saw this and thought of you!

That's great!  Thanks for posting the link, Larry!!

You may have helped 20,000 kitties. Even one is wonderful.

Where should I start DR DRUXY?  I just don't think he is funny....he forces things too much....works too hard....and he is....not easy on the eyes.

[John G.]

We just had someone leave here to go work for J.C. Penney. (In fact, she starts there today.) So, the timing of this could not have been better.

I want one of those flop hats.

[Jrand74]

I think those are from the JCPENNEY Transvestite Collection from the early 1970's.

[Jrand74]

We are supposed to have lights and sound tonight...and the pit arrives tomorrow.  Hell week is upon us.  Pray for Rosemary's Baby.....

Off to prepare for rehearsal.....oh and NO BOOKS onstage tonight.....

[ChasSmith]

OMG!!!

Indeed!

[ChasSmith]

HELL WEEK VIBES for DR Jrand62!

[singdaw]

NO BOOKS onstage tonight.....

Eeek!   ~ ~ ~ MEMORY VIBES ~ ~ ~ for our very own Man in the Chair!

Break a leg!!  Tonight, I have rehearsal for "Hollywood Who Done It?"!  My big scene as one of the producers is tonight.

Jane, that's odd about no download. I went to the link myself and it seems to be available for download. It also does still play at the bottom of the first screen if you click where it says Click play to hear the preview of the song. When you get to the site do you see these instructions on the first screen?

<SNIP>

I had no trouble downloading the clip both at home and here at work.  Hopefully, it's just a temporary glitch, Jane.

I saw a double rainbow that was nearly that intense on my way down I-71 toward Cincinnati in May 2012.  (This would have been right in DR Ginny's neck of the woods.)  It was so striking and memorable that when on that same stretch of highway a year later, in the same week of the year, I found myself keeping my eye open for another one, even though there had been no rain that time.  Oddly enough, the weather over the rest of the trip prior to that had actually been identical to that of the year before. 

Oh, and it was the first rainbow I'd seen that was without obstruction and you could see just about the entire arc.

I think it's more likely that people like to watch cats on the innerwebs. That's what it's all about, after all.

[singdaw]

That's what it's all about

That.  And the Hokey-Pokey.

[singdaw]

DR ChasSmith - you're always chasing rainbows!   It could be a song...

Good day, all,

I'm looking forward to this week's Kritzerland show (as well as today's rehearsal). And after reading BK's comments on Joan's show last night, along with savoring his second book about recordings and his musical ear, I believe that if I ever get a cabaret show together for myself, there is only one director I would consider. His initials are BK.

TOD:
So many.

I grew up loving Jack Benny, Groucho, Phyllis Diller, Bob and Ray, Bob Newhart, and Bill Cosby.

Got to work a little with Bob Elliot of Bob and Ray, on his son, Chris' show, "Get a Life". Bob's delivery of even the smallest jokes just slayed everyone. Quiet brilliance.

Saw Cosby in Vegas once. He sat in a comfy armchair in front of the mains, and told stories for seeming ever. Only got up out of the chair once or twice. I don't remember laughing so hard at a live show.

Then came, Steve Martin, Robin Willams, David Brenner, George Carlin. I guess i just love stand up.

I worked with Rita Rudner last year in a play, and was reminded how much I enjoyed her unique delivery.

I also love me some Eddie Izzard (his Death Star canteen makes me laugh still), and saw him live 2 years ago, trying out new material at the old Coronet theater here in L.A..

Also Craig Ferguson, Billy Connelly, Louis CK.... and no doubt I've left out many.

Back to music work....
