Thanks, Kate. I forgot der Bingle in Going My Way.

Greetings from Toyland!

I've been here around 90 minutes and I will soon leave; I've accomplished everything I needed to do, so I can head home.

[Jrand74]

I forgot THE TEN COMMANDMENTS! 

The movie....that is.

[MBarnum]

Oh, and there is that very entertaining 1960s Mexican film version of ADAM AND EVE...a most popular religious film, no doubt! 

[ChasSmith]

There's nothing like a good Bible story, DR MBarnum.

[Jrand74]

I believe I have seen that version of ADAM & EVE.....courtesy DR MBARNUM.....

[bk]

I've been up since nine thirty and will now get out of bed.

[MBarnum]

Yes indeedy. A full hour of Jorge Rivero walking around a jungle set without so much as a fig leaf....oh, and Eve is there also.

I always wonder how many churches accidently showed this film!

We just started getting some snow flurries.

Wait a minute.  I think there's a little sleet mixed in.  Supposed to eventually be all rain, but I'm just glad I don't have to go anywhere tonight.

[elmore3003]

My bus ride home was an hour of hell: the original bus, which I boarded at 27th Street was nearly empty, so I settled in for a nice read and ride. Tw blocks later, the driver announced "I got no power," and made us all get off to wait for the next bus, which was packed. Because of traffic caused by construction around 6th and 53rd, traffic crawled up Sixth Avenue. It to 45 minutes or so to clear the mess, and by then the bus was jammed. Who the fat hell are all these people on a noon bus? It's not rush hour yet. The ride home was truly hell, and I got home to find that some parcel post moron, who's not the usual driver who leaves packages at my door or with the super, left me a notice to go to the post office to pick up package.

I can't walk, carry a cane, and tote a package at the same time, much less stand in a long line at the PO because of the idiot manager so i'm literally screwed in this deal. Goddam.

And, after that, I opened my email to learn that my friend Dale Kugel, librarian emeritus of Tams-Witmark Music Library, died this morning. God double damn!

[Ginny]

I have cleaned the living/dining room and kitchen and I'm worn out.  The only other thing I'll do today, maybe, is iron the tablecloths.

[Ginny]

Sorry to hear about your friend, DR Elmore.

[ChasSmith]

So sorry to hear about the HELL, followed by the death of a friend, DR Elmore!

[Jrand74]

Sorry to hear about your friend and your terrible horrible day DR ELMORE.  If it helps any, I am enjoying DEAREST ENEMY which arrived yesterday.

[ChasSmith]

A librarian emeritus of Tams-Witmark who was a good friend of DR Elmore's sounds like a great person to have known.

Mr. Neeley apparently knew which side is unleavened bread was buttered, since he has made an entire career of JCS.

I wish I could find the program (sadly, I think it's long gone), but I saw Neeley do the stage show at the Universal Amphitheater in L.A., I think in 1972, just before making the film.

He had the most beautiful and distinctive hand of anyone, and it cane seen in many of the scores, chorus books, and orchestra parts for shows Tams handled between 1959 and 1995 or so, when Dale began doing shows on Finale.  He gave me my first computer in 2001; I inherited his old Mac when he got a new one, and my birthday gift that year was its setup by Mac Mecanix.

He was a very handsome Jesus.  Perhaps second only to Robert Powell from JESUS OF NAZARETH.

Larry, I am so sorry about your friend.  My condolences.

[MBarnum]

DR Elmore, vibes to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elmore3003]

Oy! Such a day I've had!!!

Even more so than Jeffrey Hunter?

I thought I would post this for any of you who read J. A. Jance, and especially for Jane who loves Bernese Mountain Dogs.  Ms Jance's new book is called SECOND WATCH.  It is not only a Beaumont mystery, but it is also the story of Doug Davis who was killed in Viet Nam, and the girl that loved and lost him.  That girl is my cousin, Bonnie, and the story involves her and her Bernese, Crackerjack.

Can you name any of the scores?  I only have a couple of very old ones, but I'd sure keep an eye out for others. 

Something I always wanted to see was someone actually creating some of those beautiful pages.  I love manuscript scores.

Good day, everyone!

TOD: The first that come to mind are the religious mysteries, like NAME OF THE ROSE and THE DA VINCI CODE (although I preferred the books to the movies of Da Vinci Code, and Angels and Demons).

I am going to the Taper to see Brian Dennehy in a preview of THE STEWARD OF CHRISTENDOM tonight. That almost fits the TOD.
