Earlier in the week, Richard gave me a list of NY shows that interest him and FORBIDDEN BROADWAY was on it. We now have 2 on the aisle for April Fool's ~~Day~~ Evening. Seems appropriate.

Vixmom, to answer your question from last night: I used sourdough from the local grocery and it was terrible. San Antonio is a tortilla town, not a bread town. People here seem to hate character in or crusts on their bread. They want everything soft and characterless. So, there was no sour flavor and the bread seemed to fall apart the moment you touched a knife to it. It was sloppy and messy, but it did not get in the way of the cheese or the butter.

I think I'd try to catch that Porgy & Bess, too.

I'm warming up for that role by first playing the Strawberry Woman in Oliver.

Don't worry DR SINGDAW - after all you didn't personally drain the gasoline tank yourself.

Do we detect a very specialized career path in the works?

So, Elmore, what Porter songs are going to be in the medley?

To your temple or your father's? In other words, will you be home this weekend or return to Montreal?

I am often hesitant to order sour dough bread outside of California.

DR Singdaw often I wish you would explain the photos you share with us. What is that strange building

singdaw · « **Reply #44 on:** March 14, 2014, 09:30:27 AM »

My mother has a sourdough starter that has been an active culture for over 100 years.

singdaw · « **Reply #45 on:** March 14, 2014, 09:31:41 AM »

DR Jane - it is an architect's rendering - a proposal.

I'm not sure where it is intended to be built.
But my guess is that it is a retirement home for Olympic divers.

Will there be a CD anthology? And, someday, a farewell tour?

Speaking of FORBIDDEN BROADWAY...a tour will be playing at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts TONIGHT! BUT, I won't be able to see it.

I have to go to a union meeting. Tonight was the only night that most people had available.

Oh, well. There will always be another show...like a week from Sunday: "Ann Hampton Callaway Sings the Streisand Songbook"!! I'm signed up to usher for this and I can't wait!

Topic of the Day:

In my CD player: "O. Henry's Full House"/"The Luck of the Irish" (I'm just starting "The Luck of the Irish"), then will be "Jeepers Creepers," then the original Broadway cast recording of "Big Fish."
