I am off to balmy Portland, Maine to do a 6 week job on a show called "Words By" about Ira Gershwin. Brrr.


That show is playing right now here in the Twin Cities.


I guess the authors have it in their contracts that the show only plays in frosty climes.     :)

Wasn't someone from this site, or a friend of a friend of someone, working on a Ira Gerswhin review?

DR ryacko, I believe.

I received a CD of photos from IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.  Since I couldn't muster a archival DVD of the show, mabe some of these photos wil help.

First off, the star of the show.

The UPS and USPS postman arrived almost back to back. I have a lot of packages to open tomorrow.

And today, my favorite Irish actor, Karl Harpur, got married! I needed an actor for EILEEN and by great luck I sat next to a Dubliner on my flight to record it who said "My best friend's an actor." By the time I had arrived at my hotel, Karl had emailed me and I signed him sight unseen. Turns out, he had worked on RIVERDANCE with my Irish producers, and I was lucky to get him for both EILEEN and DEAREST ENEMY. He's currently in Dublin working in pantomime for Christmas before he and his wife head to LA, where he's trying to break into TV and film. He's one of the best.


Very handsome young man.

I've been up since ten, when the doorbell rang and I received a beautiful gift of flowers from the Pogues - they are in a place of prominence. 

What a thoughtful lovely gift.

Now I suppose I'll jog, then start cooking, then see if there are any packages to pick up.  A local critic in LA, Don Grigware, who usually reviews our Kritzerland shows and who gave Sandy Bainum's show a rave, has given an award to both CD and the show she did.



That's a nice present.

Sure is, congratulations!

Had a nice visit from my buddy Scott (who I worked with many years ago at Bi-Mart) and his dog (a shephard/yellow lab mix) Jack. Scott and his wife ( who had to work today) made chocolates for me again this Christmas, and Jack the dog delivered them to me. In return I gifted Jack a fluffy stuffed chewy animal which he preceded to enjoy!


I would kill to have a dog like Jack! He is so much like Bosco was!

I had purchased a gift for my neighbor downstairs and his partner. This neighbor is the one who insisted on doing my laundry for the two months last summer when I was laid up and had to stay off my feet. He's repeatedly refused to let me reciprocate at all and I was concerned that he would refuse the Christmas present. I was pleased he didn't.

One isn't permitted to refuse Christmas presents ;)

I've been up since ten, when the doorbell rang and I received a beautiful gift of flowers from the Pogues - they are in a place of prominence.  Then I got back in bed until the house heated up a bit, then went and bought a huge stainless steel pot, perfect for boiling up five or even six pounds of pasta.  I'm always amazed how inexpensive cookware is sometimes.


You should have mentioned it before your birthday, you might have 10 of them by now.

DR TCB, I love the pic and look forward to more.  Do you still have your beard?  If shaving is difficult you might think about keeping it and just having it trimmed when you go for haircuts.

Here is Dr. Campbell telling George Bailey and Uncle Billy that the Board has voted down Mr. Potter's attempt to desolve the Building and Loan, providing that George takes over runing it.

Unless you were referring to the joke a friend of mine made about a proposal for a Judi Dench Gershwin revue.

There wasn't a package for me in the mail today.  Maybe UPS will make a stop today, if not my gift it late.

On Dec 18, DR ryacko posted:

All of that was going on while fielding two possible singing gigs for this Sunday which are too far apart to make both on time. And... trying to plan my escape to Portland, Maine on the 29th for a 6 week job singing in a show about Ira Gershwin, called WORDS BY. And, where else would you want to be in the middle of winter but way up north? Brrrr.
