Good morning, all!
Yesterday, the Hibernian Club changed its Wi-Fy and telephone server, so we had no internet. The new system is now up and running. Yesterday, we ran through the entire show from beginning to end, which continued after break, followed that with a work session for the trio of couturier ladies and Annalene's "Lovely To Look At."
It was a really good rehearsal, and I think we're in pretty good shape. This morning, Rob and I rehearse the stage band, and this afternoon is our first orchestra rehearsal. I'm looking forward to hearing these orchestrations. They've never been recorded before.
Last night, Judy Sherman and I had a wonderful dinner with Philip O'Reilly, who sings on EILEEN and DEAREST ENEMY, and his partner Sally. I really love Philip and I'm sorry that he's not on this recording; he's a wonderful singer and actor, and so good at his craft.
Dinner was at Harry's, and it was excellent. Sally had salmon, Philip had some other fish, Judy had the fish pie, and I had fish and chips, followed by an excellent parsnips cake and ice cream.
And now I must prepare for today's rehearsals.
