Other than having trouble coming up with something worthwhile to say?   No.

Good morn afternoon, all.

Back from the high school where it feels like I've been since I awoke at 5:15.  And what a long morning it was.  Cold, too, in their auditorium.  A few hours of rest, then back this evening for a concert.

Boy, I did the right thing getting to bed early.  Fortunately, I was dead tired and fell asleep without much delay at all.  More importantly, I STAYED asleep till the clock radio and cell phone went off within half a minute of each other.

Good grief, I missed DR ChasSmith's birthday yesterday!!! So here I am to make up for it...

Hope it was a wonderful birthday Charles, and might I add that I am so glad you joined HHW; you are one swell guy!








Late is fine, DR MBarnum.  Late is just dandy.  Late is not a problem.  Thank you!

Monday afternoon greetings!  After the previous night's insomnia I crashed early last night and slept almost 12 hours.  Richard and I just finished putting about a gazillion ornaments on our Christmas tree.

Very interesting . . . a singer whose album I once scored for a combo of around eight players asked me a couple of times in the past about enlarging the orchestrations for full orchestra. Both times I gave him a similar budget, and then I never heard a thing further from him.

I just now on FB saw a photo of him performing one of the numbers from the recording with a full orchestra.  Hmmm ...

I've always suspected he found someone cheaper to expand the orchestrations.

Back from a chili, cheese and onion omelet - sitting at the booth next to me - Dick Gautier, second time it's happened and this time I introduced myself and told him we had tons of mutual friends.  He's very nice.

From DR TCB:
Quote
This woman came up to me after the show.  She said that she loves the movie version of IAWL, and she watches it faithfully every year.  And she said she thought I was better than Lionel Barrymore.  I don't know about that, but it was a very nice thing for her to say
.

Extremely nice.  I hope that eased some of the pain you have been dealing with.

VIBES YOU FEEL BETTER SOON!!!!!
