I just come here for the novelty coffee mugs and their trenchant commentary on the little ironies of everyday life.

I hadn't thought about reusing that costume DR SINGDAW.....but if Adelaide insists on wearing that ugly dress one more time, she may find herself looking like Thomas Putnam.

And I am home from therapy and errands. I love  photo from THE CRUCIBLE, DR JRand63!  It's just the thing to wear for opening night.

Oh. My.

I am cleaning out an upstairs closet and found a box of files and papers that contained, among other things, the Playbills from the 4 Broadway shows I saw when I was in New York for ALA in 1974 - yikes, that's 40 years ago!  The shows were:

Candide
Good Evening (comedy review with Peter Cook & Dudley Moore)
A Little Night Music
Pippin

Now, if I could only find the Playbills from when Richard and I saw 8 shows in 7 days in December of 1983...

I'm up - actually was up at eight-thirty after only about six hours of sleep.  Got more useful info about the crap that's going on, which was fascinating and nauseating at the same time, but which will serve me well down the line.

When we were listing off-Broadway shows the other day, did anyone mention "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown"?

In the self-promo department:  Just because I felt maybe the video was feeling a little old-fashioned, I tried putting out a more "modern-Brooklyn" video of my BROOKLYN BOY song.

Great song, Fred!

Cool!  About 20 years or so ago, a friend of mine gave me a box of Playbills that a friend of his gave him and he (my friend) didn't want (he had no room to store them).  There were some from the 1960s and some had ticket stubs stapled to them.  I still have that box in my garage.  One day, I'll go through and see what I really have.

If you love the song "Don't Rain on My Parade" from Funny Girl, you'll love this video:

This is pretty cool!  It was interesting to compare the different keys that the song was sung in and how many sang in the same key.

I was thinking on my way to therapy this morning how I wish we all hadn't gone our separate ways so quickly after, and that we had stepped out for a celebration. Rob had auditions, I had been there since 10 and just wanted to go home, Michael was back to work, Joshie had to get back to BRIGADOON, Lord knows where Ben and Meggie were heading, and Sara was probably heading home to her baby Annie. I was surprised her husband didn't come.

Perhaps BK should consider doing a musical adaptation of THE CRUCIBLE.

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a mash-up of three classic novels about world run amok, and now it is time for you to post until the amok cows come home.
