Well, the flute choir was supposed to play at a church service where we practice about 30 or so miles from here.  I probably could have made it there with no problem as we didn't get as much snow as they said we would, but we're still under a winter weather advisory and a wind chill warning, so I decided not to go. There is a light snow falling and the roads are covered so they may be slick too.   It was really a group decision and we started talking about it last night so no one is upset and I've gotten emails or phone calls from everyone saying they agree, so I'm home where it's warm....well sort of warm, but definitely safe.

Good morning, all.

I slept in this morning. Maybe I can catch some of the second service on the Internet. It was needed.

DR TCB, Mary Martin's story about Oscar Hammerstein is a crock. THE SOUND OF MUSIC opened on Broadway on Nov. 16, 1959, and Hammerstein died on August 23, 1960, nine months later. The lyric she says he gave her before he died was in the show on opening night.

Happy Sunday Everyone!  After a couple of weeks off, there is a brand new edition of The Broadway Radio Show now posted for your pleasure.  This time, it's a phone interview with Singer and TV Personality Jane Norman, who will be appearing at NY's 54 Below on December 19th.  Jane is probably best known as the creator and star of "PIXANNE" a children's TV show that ran in Philadelphia and New York and then in syndication for 17 years back in the 60's and 70's, but she's also a wonderful vocalist with several CDs to her credit.  It was a delightful chat with a very talented lady.....I hope you enjoy!

Happiest of Birthdays to MR BK.

Appropriately on TCM at this moment Miss Judy Garland is singing "I Don't Care" - which I think Mr. Guy Haines should record.

DR ELMORE thank you, you are correct "Edelweiss" was the last lyric written by OH II, I don't know where I read the other - I found my R/H book and the story is not in there....so maybe I dreamed it.

Tonight is the two hour finale of THE AMAZING RACE!

We are expecting icy rain about 4 p.m. this afternoon, so I am not driving down for the board meeting which begins at 4 p.m.

I'm off to see National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation on the big screen.  Not a favorite movie, but I love bits of it, and this will be fun.

Off (like a prom dress) to church festivities. This morning I am singing in the choir and playing handbells.

It's a custom I'm sure our DR singdaw is long familiar with from his debutante days.

DR ELMORE that call was probably for me.....I got an email last week that said someone in Nigeria wanted to put ninety-two million dollars into my bank account.

Good morning, all! My sleep pattern is still screwed up, so I will be in bed relatively early tonight.  My friend Craig and his family got a flight from Dallas to Newark and he's in late this evening.  I'll see him tomorrow after my physical therapy. I do not know what time Vinny arrives, but I'm expecting him in the afternoon. I have no idea ifvthe Celtic Tenors are with him, or if they've headed back to Ireland.
http://www.celtic-tenors.com

I will be really glad when this SOM frenzy abates; it's completely ridiculous, whether one liked it or loathed it. One very smug asshole arranger has nearly broken his arm taking swipes at it continuously since the broadcast began at 8:00pm EST.  On another rant, I posted that I had listened all day to the ROBERTA edits, and someone posted "can't wait to hear it." Funny, they posted the same about DEAREST ENEMY six months ago, and now that it's released, I wonder if they've waited to hear it.

So, I'm back to my Encores! work this morning. More coffee!

I like the Celtic Tenors, buti prefer Celtic Thunder.

One more regarding SOM:  One guy (or maybe girl) yesterday was mocking the show because the children, who didn't sing, learned the SOM song with harmonies to sing to Frau Schneider in like two days.  If they had been paying attention  instead of snarking, they would have heard that the Captain would be gone for a month and then return with Elsa and Max.  I think they could learn the song in thirty days.

When I got to the theater last night, about  90% of the cast had already seen my rant about the SOM talkathon.  They all seemed to agree with it.

Well, I was probably 12 when I saw the Jack Paar program, so I did get a few of the points wrong.  But the gist of the story is true.
