I'm confused by something in Filichia's write-up on IRMA LA DOUCE:

No need for me to translate "grisbi" once you hear the song title "Le Grisbi Is the Root of the Evil in Man."  The way the singers end that song on the original cast album – taking the word "can" and adding no fewer than thirteen scoopy "ans" on the end -- is pretty much the way the Four Plaids would have handled it.

I don't THINK I'm hearing them do anything but hold the final chord out, as written, while the band bangs out the thirteen chords under them.  What am I missing here?


Don't ask me.  I didn't understand it when I read it.

So, what's up for me today?

....

That, and listening to IRMA LA DOUCE ... which I'm seeing tomorrow night at Encores!  It kind of snuck up on me and I wish I knew the score a lot better.  But I'm quite sure the troops will be remarkable and I'll be dazzled.  Or something like that.

ChasSmith, just pretend that you're at the world premiere opening night and no one in the world has ever heard the score.  You wouldn't necessarily wish that you "knew the score a lot better" in that situation, would you?

Perhaps he's relying on faulty memory.

I was just listening to Paul Byrom's THIS IS THE MOMENT CD, again.  I enjoy it very much.

I saw your posting on Facebook about the Li'l Abner poster. I'm a little confused. Were you selling it or trying to buy it?

I'm happy you're enjoying it. Paul's a nice man; I have no idea what he's up to these days.

Jane, I forgot to say that I enjoyed the season finale of RESURRECTION.  There was a great deal of suspense, some interesting twists, and a shock in the final 30 seconds that I didn't see coming.  I look forward to next season.

Thanks.  I have to make sure our DVR is set to record all episodes, not just first run.

You are in Australia where it is already the 7th? ;D

Of course, because I knew that Danise's birthday was not until the 7th.   ::)

I saw that :)

Tuesday afternoon greetings!  I went to vote this morning on my way to lunch with the grantwriters.  We celebrated the 10th anniversary of the group and I was one of 4 original members in attendance.  We all received nice gifts, which were totally unexpected.

It is nice to be recognized when you deserve it.  :)

Darn...I didn't know.  I would've recorded them all. :(

Thanks for posting about this.  I'll set my DVR to record the rest of the week.

My friend Ben Davis was in the cast of VIOLET on yesterday's broadcast. I wanted to see it, but i was on a bus to a disastrous appointment.

DR Jennifer I'm sorry you can't fix your laminator.

There is a small chance i can unscrew the bottom and pull out the stuck piece. I just need someone stronger who can use the screwdriver and maybe get it open.  Oh well it only cost maybe $20 or $30 and i have used it for many many years a lot.

I made a Mexican bean salad today to serve to our company tomorrow.  I remember telling Keith when we were at the market that I needed a red onion and walking in that direction.  I wonder what distracted me that I never picked it up.  I will have to get one tomorrow morning and add it.

Just as I was about to add corn to the salad I realized one of our guests, who is now on a gluten free diet, might not eat corn.

I put half the salad dressing in the bean & pepper mix and a little bit in the corn which is in a separate bowl.  The rest of the dressing is waiting until I decide how to mix all of this.  ;D

DR Jennifer  ALLEGIANT didn't take long to come in.  I actually wish I had another week as I am slowly reading one book which will be followed by a 700+book.  At least I know once I get to Allegiant it will be a quick read, at least the first two were.
