DR Ben, I took a taxi. I had to much to cart5 from the apartment, but I will in the next 30 minutes take a No 7 Bus uptown. I accomplioshed much and i am quite happy to be back at work.

On Tuesday, I may take the bus back down, depending on how therapy goes on Monday.

I love Jonathan and Darlene, who did not perform much on the first recording "The Piano Artistry of Jonathan Edwards" or some such title. I believe it was the second album in Paris that established her as an artiste of the highest caliber. They and Anna Russell got me through college.

I stayed in bed this morning reading until 10:00. It was nice. I'm reading "Straight Man" by Richard Russo.

is that the one set in the college? I remember laughing hysterically at scenes in that book. Very farcical. Hope you enjoy it. I'm a big Russo fan.

I loved listening to the audiobook of that on a car trip a few years back.

The version of BURN WITCH BURN on TCM had the prologue---a black screen with the voice of the narrator from WAR OF THE WORLDS and many other films---talked a bit a gave a protection invocation for those of us watching.

Paul Frees.

I've been up since eleven, but stayed in bed having a telephonic conversation.

And I am home. By taxi. I worked until 2:15, and then waited forever at 6th and 27th for either one of two buses that never came. There's no bench there so I can't sit, and after 20 minutes wait I gave up and took a taxi home. My left leg was beginning to throb and the discomfort was killing me. I won't be going back for a while, given the bus situation, but it was great to be working again on something again.

I had meant to mention about Peter Wyngarde in BURN WITCH BURN: I really disliked him as the character and an actor.

Sunday afternoon greetings! We left here before sunrise and had a smooth trip to and from Lima. Now we're watching the Cincinnati Bengals trying to hold on to a slim lead against the Detroit Lions.

Yes indeed....I think their versions of "The Carioca", "It's Magic", and "Take the A Train" are works of demented genius....and Paul's playing of "Nola" makes me fall on the floor....

And yesterday, I forgot to mention one of my favorite pianists - Mr Jonathon Edwards....here playing while his wife Darlene sings "Cocktails for Two".... This is dinner music for people who aren't very hungry.

Mr Edwards has said that he considers the sheet music just a suggestion of what should be played.

I've never heard of them. I won't be able to watch this until I get home. The "sound board" is on the computer that I'm using to post and the sound is hooked up to the theater's speakers. It would not be good for me to play this while the pre-show music is playing.

i've ben up since 3:00am this morning as I went to the local swap shop where around around 5am to wait in line to get a place to set up to sell stuff. I got rid of DVDs and Blu Rays I no longer watch. Also sold a bunch of CDs that are save on my laptop. I remember a time when you could sell your collection on Ebay for $$$$, but this is no longer the case, so it was sold for a fraction what I could get at one time. But I am glad to have got them finally out of the house. I will go back again sometime next month or early December to try and sell the balance. It nice to have some extra pocket $$$.

George · « **Reply #56 on:** October 20, 2013, 12:55:27 PM »

The house so far is at least 2/3rds filled. That's pretty nice for a Sunday.

I am going to miss the Cinema presentation of Merrily We Roll Along on Wednesday as I am going to be in Montreal. It seems that Canada won't be getting it until a few weeks later and I will be back home by then. Unless their is an Encore presentation (not scheduled at this time) I will miss it.

I saw the original Broadway production---4th preview---I new their were problems but I thought that the critics at the time were overly harsh when the show finally opened. I never had a problem with the story being told backwards.

As matter of fact one of my playlists on my Itunes has the show being played "forward" and I included songs that were dropped from the original broadway version before it opened.

someone posted this on Facebook.

It is an interview with Richard Sherman. I believe it is from the CBS program Sunday Morning per the logo in the lower right corner. Not sure when it aired. It's more a "fluff" piece. Not much you can do in 7 minutes. It briefly touches on the new stage version of The Jungle Book and nothing on BK's cabaret show. It also doesn't mention the acrimonious relationship between the two brothers who when they weren't working together never spoke to or saw one another.

Of course the Documentary about them "THE BOYS" is a lot more interesting.
