GREETING THE DAY
« on: October 30, 2013, 12:11:50 AM »
Well, you've read the notes, the notes greeted the day and the day was moot, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently greeting the cud.

Continued from yesterday's posts:

For the pre-show, intermission and post-show, I helped sell merchandise.  They were selling Rufus' CD, "Sing Me the Songs: Celebrating The Works Of Kate McGarrigle" for $20.  Kate McGarrigle was his mother (she died almost three years ago).  He also had already autographed copies for $25.  He didn't come out to autograph anything.

Lucy had two of her CDs for sale ($15 each or 2 for $20).  One of them, "There's a Last Time for Everything," was just released two weeks ago.  She came out at intermission and after the whole show and signed autographs!  AND she gave me autographed copies of BOTH her CDs because I helped sell!  My friend Margo was also selling and she ALSO got free autographed CDs!  She was very nice during the autographing sessions. :D

Several people asked and we found out that they are half-siblings.  They have the same father (Louden Wainwright III) but they have different mothers.  His was the aforementioned Kate McGarrigle and her mother is Suzzy Roche, who is one of the Roche Sisters.

Wasn't that the play that was basis for William Finn's "25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" musical?




ndeed, per wikipedia:


"The musical was based upon C-R-E-P-U-S-C-U-L-E, an original improvisational play created by Rebecca Feldman and performed by The Farm, a New-York-based improvisational comedy troupe. Sarah Saltzberg, Wendy Wasserstein's weekend nanny, was in the original production, and Wasserstein recommended that Finn see the show. Finn brought Rachel Sheinkin on board, and they worked together with Feldman to transform "C-R-E-P-U-S-C-U-L-E" into a scripted full-length musical."

I think we should have a day where we ask a question and then answer it! :-)

Change of plans:  I'm playing rehearsal tonight, AND Friday.  An act of mercy.  So I must get up and get crackin'.

Whatever "crackin'" is.

Good morning, all! First good night's sleep in a long time, I'm happy to report. I got a good 8-9 hours in.

Today, a trip to City Center for a meeting at 11:00 with my adopted son Joshie and my friend Peter Foley.  I hope the meeting is not too long, but I will be happy to see both of them.

And that's my day.

That kangaroo probably feels much like I do when I'm out in public on my cane, so I hope it's not an omen for my trek to 56th Street.

DR Jane (and anyone else interested in books):

Yesterday I reviewed a book by one of my favorite new authors.  It was an advanced copy that I got on netgalley (a site where bloggers/librarians/reviewers are allowed to review books that have not come out yet).  Anyhow in my netgalley profile (as a way to try to make the publishers want to let me review their books) I said that I would put links to my reviews on twitter.

Anyhow I did tag the author. I don't normally do this but it's easier if anyone wants to check her out on twitter.  So when I got home last night the author had tweeted that she read and liked my review of her book.  That is so crazy to me.

Wednesday morning greetings!  I've been to the vampire's blood lab for a test that's about a week and a half overdue.  Now I get to putter for a couple of hours before going to the library where my career began for this month's book discussion.
