Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of 44, and now it is time for you to post until the 44 cows come home.

Damn! I did it again.

I had to get serious with my lines tonight. The brain just doesn't absorb all of those lines anymore.

I even had to skip "Resurrection" tonight.

I hope you were able to record it...there were some interesting developments.

Good morning, all! My mind is still asleep but I am moving about, I'm dressed and the bed is made, two huge accomplishments achieved. After my huge schedule debacle on Friday, i cannot miss therapy today. Before I go, I need to call the pharmacy and order this month's meds so I can pick them up when therapy ends.

Good news about last night's show and sad news about Mickey Rooney; in 1991, after we lost Barney Hughes for the Toymaker in the Huston Grand Opera production of BABES IN TOYLAND, we were looking at other actors, and Mickey Rooney campaigned really hard for the role. The opera did not want him; they said it would become "All about Rooney" and not BABES IN TOYLAND. We went with Eddie Bracken, who was wonderful, but a side of me regrets missing a chance to work with Mickey Rooney.

reading a chapter a day and enjoying it.

sorry to hear about Mickey Rooney. One of the last of Hollywood's golden era.

They never did give a Kennedy Center honor which was a crime.

Good morning, all.

Really needed one more hour of sleep, but really had to get up anyway and do things.

Things. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

Coffee!

DR Elmore, congratulations on a wonderful week with MOST HAPPY FELLA.

I should expect my Susan Jolles Fan Club t-shirt to get here any day now. Right?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #13 on:** April 07, 2014, 04:56:53 AM »

The Kritzerland show sounds exceptional, as always. Great photos, and I look forward to videos. Mucho videos, por favor.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #14 on:** April 07, 2014, 05:03:36 AM »

I've read eleven chapters, but will probably find I have to reread that last one because I know my eyes were not staying open towards the end of it. The story is wonderful, and normally, I would have read the book in two evenings, period, but activities of the past few days have denied me that. So, another night, maybe two. (I am not proud of that!)

FJL · « **Reply #15 on:** April 07, 2014, 05:04:45 AM »

Congrats on the Kritzerland show. Yes, videos, please!

DR elmore3003 - glad you had such a good evening last night. You have had some amazing musical theatre experiences/opportunities over the years!

singdaw · « **Reply #17 on:** April 07, 2014, 05:06:35 AM »

bk, glad that the show went so successfully. Reading about everything makes me wish all the more that we could be there to experience it in person. Love the photos, and looking forward to the videos.

FJL · « **Reply #18 on:** April 07, 2014, 05:07:22 AM »

Package arrived at the package room either Thursday or Friday (that's the date they wrote on it) with the book. And love the extras as well.

TOD:

Since I have no children of my own ( that I know of -

), it would not be appropriate for me to say.

However, I have seen enough of parents nowadays not controlling their children in public spaces that I know what I would not do, were I raising children of my own.
And parents tolerating disrespectful behavior which would not have been tolerated back in the years that I was being raised.

Get off my lawn, you kid, you!

These past few weeks of getting more familiar with MHF, in addition to hearing about the Carnegie Hall G&D, have inspired me to learn a lot more about Frank Loesser. I had a perfect copy of Susan Loesser's book which I'd sort of fast-read through some years ago, so I went to pull it off the shelf and....and....it's gone! What the HELL. No idea what I did with it. Must have loaned it to someone. Glad it wasn't something hard to replace. Back to Amazon...

I see there's a book in the Yale Broadway Masters Series. Can DR Elmore or any other of y'all musical theater experts recommend that or any other?

That is all.

It seemed to be a sell out house last night. I was in the mezzanine and a tall person was sitting in front of me for the first act but I think the man next to me decided to ask his smaller girlfriend/wife to switch seats (the man next to me was tall also) so that I could see without leaning to the left or right (the tall man in front was a head bobber). I thanked him (the tall man next to me) for saying something to them. It would have been impossible to move to another seat because I looked around and there were no empty seats anywhere in the mezzanine.

Outside of Robert Kimball's COMPLETE LYRICS OF FRANK LOESSER, I can only think of Susan's book and the Yale one. Susan's book is a nice memoir and I have little memory now of the Yale one. It's at Toyland and i haven't looked at it in several years.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #27 on:** April 07, 2014, 05:50:58 AM »

Speaking of things Loesser, I guess I would be a little remiss if I didn't mention that Frank's brother Arthur was one of my piano teachers. Just for a little more than a year, because my first year at Cleveland Institute of Music was 1967-68 and he passed away on January 5, 1969 at age 74. He was a very sweet man with a very polished, controlled sound on the piano, and he specialized in Bach keyboard works and cantatas. By the time of his death my interest was already drifting away from being any kind of a concert pianist, but those months were very special because of him.
