Very strange thing happened to me yesterday:

One of my co-workers gave me a set of keys to pass on to a company which bought one of our buildings.

I handled the keys briefly and put them in an envelope.

About 30 minutes later, I had a metallic taste in my mouth.

About an hour later, the metallice taste was stronger and I had a tightening in my chest.

An hour later and I was back to normal and remain so (if whatever I'm feeling like is actually normal).

Never have had an experience like that!

I hope it isn't the beginning of sensitivities to metal.

It was just sort of amusing, DR John G., not frustrating.  I'm fine with the one-day delay on getting those things done.

I'm your take on it is different than mine would be.

I'm sure several DRs will vouch for this, but while I've left NY, I still have WQXR (a great radio/internet station) with me and had become a member quite a while ago.  There's a new article on the WQXR website about bad things audiences do that annoy performers and performances:

http://www.wqxr.org/#!/story/top-5-most-controversial-audience-behaviors/


Booing!  I'm shocked at that.

I relate applauding between movements as ignorance that it isn't over yet, which is why I wait to be sure before I applaud.

We don't know if he really remembered us, but he "came out of it" when we started in on the music, and was mouthing the words to some of the hymns with tears in his eyes, so that was gratifying that we got through to him.

This is so touching.

In the absolutely infuriating department, two boxes arrived today - one containing twenty softcovers of Red Gold - those are freebies and useless to me.  My five free hardcovers of Red Gold also arrived in a box with ten There's Mel's that I needed.  The other ninety Red Golds did NOT arrive and will not arrive until Monday - because they shipped one day later than the other two boxes.  Of course, I wasn't told that - I was told they all shipped together on Monday.  So, instead of this running smoothly, we're now up against the wall in terms of getting everything shipped before the helper is gone for eight days.  Whether Grant can get here on Monday to get the signed limitation sheets in the books is anyone's guess, but if he can't I'll just do that myself and hope for the best.  Monday is also a Kritzerland rehearsal that starts at three and doesn't end until six-thirty, so if they don't arrive before two then I don't know how I'm supposed to get them and when I'm supposed to sign them - perhaps the helper will go pick them up and bring them here.

VIBES YOU GET IT ALL DONE IN TIME!!!!!!

Great Filichia on Friday. This is the first in-depth look at what the creators of the stage version of Rocky have done and that is his specialty, whether he likes the work or not. And I'm surprised he likes it as much as he does. I'm interested in hearing the score because it's Flaherty and Ahrens, but I'm not won over by the concept just yet, though he makes a strong case for it.

I have the original German cast recording.  I love just about all the Ahrens/Flaherty scores that I've heard and I really enjoy this.  I just have no idea what they're actually singing...it's in German.  I can't wait for the Broadway cast recording in English. :D

Afternoon, all!

We have a new DR?! Where?! When?! Welcome!

Sorry to hear about all the headaches in mixing the album, bk. Sounds like quite the clam-bake (do people still call bad notes "clams?")

TOD:
On ye olde iPod: Assorted a capella Sabbath songs
the DVD drive: Bill Cosby
Youtube playlist: shut down for now (durned oppressive work firewalls)
Nightstand: Ken Follett's World Without End, Lincoln Peirce's Big Nate: In a Class by Himself

Oh, and I really do need to update my avatar, don't I?




Great photo, Elan!

That is scary, Ron.  I hope everything is fine now.
