bk, "Truly Married" is wistful and lovely.

Morning all.

That is all.

Good morning, all! I'm on my second cup of coffee and still not ready to move. I have to be out the door around 8:00am for an appointment with my barber Joe at Radio City.

Then, I'm off to Toyland. I'll work a bit on DEAREST ENEMY, take the copyright libretto for ROBERTA, and head to Lincoln Center and the performing arts library.

My HP93 color ink cartridge is not working, and I am not happy about that! I will stop at Staples and pick up a new one on my way downtown.

Here is a photo of the set for Jerry Lewis' The Ladies Man (1961). He reportedly paid for the set out of his own pocket; nearly $500,000 - which was quite a bit of money back then.

Ben · « **Reply #6 on:** August 01, 2013, 04:21:15 AM »

I'd be happy to have $500,000 today!

Good morning, all.

I'll second Ben notion about having a cool half-mil.

TOD 1: Can't confine myself to one show. So, here's the first: The Nervous Set. I'd like to go back to the original script and get it into better condition than it was in when it opened on Broadway. It would have to go off-Broadway and it should feature a cast of unknowns. Among the unknowns of the original cast were Tom Aldredge, Larry Hagman, Del Close and Barry Primus with jazz great Kenny Burrell on guitar.

The score has several wonderful numbers including "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most" and "Ballad of the Sad Young Men."

Loved the song today, BK.

Can I get in on this, too?

Kerry · « **Reply #11 on:** August 01, 2013, 05:39:09 AM »

It should be Friday. I also thought that yesterday. And yet, still it is not.

Lovely song!

I'm at Bucharest airport waiting for the flight back to London, after my short stay here. Hopefully the return flight will be without incident compared to the one coming in.

Good morning, all.

Decent sleep. One dream, forgotten, and a crazy little one that kept repeating itself and keeping me from a decent last half hour of rest.

Oh well. Second cup of coffee, please.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #15 on:** August 01, 2013, 05:59:21 AM »

Another vote for today's lovely song. Very, very nice.

My mom and dad's first NEW car was a Rambler, but I'm going to have to ask him and hopefully dig out a picture to pin down which model it was. What was the difference between a Nash Rambler and AMC Rambler? Or Rambler "American"? I believe their first one was the latter and would have been ca-1959. They went through at least four Ramblers over the next decade or so that I can recall. I think their third was the one they gave me to take to school, so that became my own first car.

BK: According to the East Coast Singer's website, the DC cabaret show is August 13th. I presume that's what you're trying to get the flight for, so it sounds like we need to get some flight VIBES going here.

Thanks for the congrats for my niece. At 7 3/4 she has so many of the same hobbies as me: scrapbooking, reading, biking and swimming. She's a pretty impressive reader for age. There are Nancy Drew books for ages 8-10 called Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew. She loves those. And she is obsessed with this series called Katie Kazoo. She has been taking out 5 books a week during the summer at the library.

Because her school program was in French for K-G2 they have not even taught the kids how to read in English yet. I am worried for the kids who are 8 and can't really read. This year they have 50% English and 50% French. Should be interesting to see how the reading classes go.

BK hope you can get a flight!

I have not biked in 2 weeks.

The first week my body just couldn't handle the two workouts a day of going to the pool and biking.

And then last week for some reason I was completely fatigued and had no energy.

It is unfortunately supposed to be very rainy for the next week. But hopefully i can find some time to bike.

Joan Collins calls Shirley Jones a liar over an anecdote in Shirley's new book.

The link follows for those who are interested, but I'm a-warnin' you, it's tawdry. Tawdry, I tell you.

Greetings from Toyland! I got to the barber and Staples in good time, I've answered the important emails, and I have the materials I need to Fed Ex to New World Records.

The weird dreams continue; I dreamed about my friend Amanda Plummer, whom I've not seen in years now. I don't know if she's in Manhattan or LA, but I hope she's well.

After Joan's reputation for the past 30 years, you'd think she'd thank Shirley for maintaining it!
