Man what a day so far. I was up at nine, the helper came and got invoices and then I just shut out the world and continued with the commentary. I got halfway through, then went and had a Cobb Salad and a small thing of onion rings. Since it's a no mail day I picked up no mail. Then I came home, had one telephonic conversation that will continue later and that I hope will finally finalize the cast the way I want it to be finalized because until that happens I'm still at sea in terms of assigning songs. I think it will work out the way I need it to, so send some vibes and xylophones that it does. Then I buckled down, Winsocki and finished the commentary. I'm sure I'll finesse it at some point soon but at least it's done.
What's fascinating about it is that my original intention was to cut and paste what I could from the original commentary I wrote the first time we did a Sherman Brothers show back in 2011. It was our fifth or sixth show and I could not believe how lame and unfunny the patter was, but I was still not comfortable with my role as patter speaker and host and was still feeling my way - I'd say about six shows later I finally had found my way and had it down pretty well. So, I ended up using not one word from the previous patter.
