DR TCB the rental company is sending your costume and it is paid for, so you can be in the show if you want to.  Just come on opening night, you don't need to come to any more rehearsals.

Glad to hear that the final two Abner performances rounded out the run in such a positive way!        :)

We have not heard from DR Dan M in a few days; I am hoping that all is all right with him.  Perhaps he has company for the holiday weekend.

Yes, to answer the question from last night, Gypsy was community theatre. Which is why I was so surprised that they had a full and very cracker-jack orchestra.

A most amazing theatre score. And those orchestrations by Sid Ramin and Robert Ginzler!!!!

Would anybody on this board recognize a photo of Ticker Freeman?

Among other things, he was Dinah Shore's accompanist for many years.

Unfortunately, there are no identifiable photos of him on the internet, but I've come across one that I think is him.  I just need somebody to verify it.  [The photo is for my forthcoming biography of Dinah.)

If you can, please send me a private message and I'll send you the photo.

I'd post it on this board, but I've never really been able to figure out how to do that.

Thanks.

Good morning, all! I had two strange dreams last night: my mother and the Macbeths were in the first one, which occurred, I think, in a hospital. In the second one, yjr retired British opera singer Sarah Walker, who was my first choice last year for Aunt Minnie on the ROBERTA recording, her husband and I were entangled in a murder of a rock singer. I remember the three of us getting into a car in some wintry farm region and pulling out of the driveway. I could see a car in my back view mirror, and I woke up.  And now that the laundry is in the washers, I'm having some coffee.

I have no plans for today. I'm going nowhere and accomplishing little. I will listen to the Act One mix of ROBERTA, read a bit, and do little else.

In Manhattan, The Village Light Opera Group uses an orchestra that is half volunteer and half professional, I believe. It generally sounds good, but one poor amateur violinist can make the professionals sound like learners.

Perhaps BK can

He did work with Dinah Shore on a variety series and perhaps Ticker also worked on the show.

Please excuse this following

Singdaw posted a photo yesterday and he commented "Oh My"

I made the comment that they are in the wrong order,

I feel that perhaps no one else got what I believe are both are humorous remarks that SINGDAW and I made.



Singdaw obviously was making a Wizard of Oz reference.

Dorothy: Lions, and tigers, and bears! Oh, my!

I said they were in the wrong order.  Lions and Bears and Tigers

If people did get it I apologize.

Very glad to hear that ABNER closed really really well. 

As of course we knew it would!  :)

A fine achievement, Mr. BK, sir, and here's to finding a way to extend its success.

Thanks to people's little Memorial Day Weekend events here and there, I will be largely E&T today -- and perhaps a little less largely tomorrow.

Thanks, Bruce, for putting on such a great show! Mark and I enjoyed it immensely. I wish the entire evening had gone so well, but we experienced such a comedy of errors that I thought we were in a bad sit-com. We've never had so many things go wrong in one night. They were little things, but oh soooo many, you had to laugh so you wouldn't cry. Most notably that we got there an hour early, specifically so we could sit in the front row, only to find that I had only printed the invoice, and not actual tickets. I had completely forgotten that my printer crapped out just as I was printing those tickets, and I meant to get new ink and try again later, but completely forgot. I put the invoice in out little ticket drawer, Mark grabbed it and thought that was all we needed. I looked at it after we parked and knew it didn't look right, but Mark pointed out there was a barcode, but I should have trusted my instincts . We had all that time to get tickets at the box office, but I didn't think to ask. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Thank goodness the seats were tiered, so we really could see just fine, and as you know we moved to the front after intermission. There were many laugh-out-loud moments in the show and everyone was terrific.

First real lazy day in who knows how long. Nothing on the agenda after church. I think I may nap and watch a DVD or three.

Okay, I'm off for the afternoon to sit in someone else's shade, eat their hamburgers, and sip a cold one.

Onward, Abner!    (Our new rallying cry.)
