Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in English for those who don't speak French, and now it is time for you to post until the French cows come home.

Seeing an old friend I haven't seen in 20 years. Thanks to Facebook. Say what you must about it is really good finding old friends an reconnecting

Sorry about you loss of your friend DR John

DR Nurse Jane

The doctor wanted to wait and see about the shoulder which I thought was stupid. They could have done it at the same time. I told them that too.

Morning all.

That is all.

Hey, Sing, not only did you see someone you know in Shrek, you saw someone you didn't know but someone I know.

Papa Bear is played by my nephew, Joe McLaughlin!

ON WEDNESDAY

BK SAID

I played Banjo twice - both times at LACC but more than a decade apart - second time as a guest artist. The role is grand fun, especially if you embrace the Harpo-ness of it.

Would any young person even know who Harpo was or who any of the other characters in the play are supposed to be?

Or do I have weep for the upcoming theatrical generation?

FOR ALL YOUR VIBES AND KIND WISHES THIS PAST WEEK. I WISH IT WAS A BETTER TIME FOR ME

Good morning!

Vibes for DR Mike and DR Ginny.

Good morning, all.

I seem to have the weekend totally free. Which is nice, because the coming week will be busy enough.

Also just decided to blow off this week's book sale, which is about to open its doors. It's another one I like, but it's a schlep and for all the "treasure" I'm likely to find, I decided the time spent on things that need doing around here will make me feel a hell of a lot better.

Coffee!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2014, 05:38:43 AM »

Oh my, it seems vibes are needed all around!

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, DR John G.

Vibes to DR Ginny for this rough patch. Here's hoping for an upswing soon.

Continued medical vibes to DR Mike.

FJL · « **Reply #17 on:** July 26, 2014, 05:57:00 AM »

Our condolences to John G on the loss of your friend.

FJL · « **Reply #18 on:** July 26, 2014, 05:59:16 AM »

Sending vibes for Ginny and family.

FJL · « **Reply #19 on:** July 26, 2014, 06:00:20 AM »

More medical vibes to Mike. We all wish it were a better time for you, too.

Yesterday afternoon I sharpened a pencil and sat me down in front of the Big Speakers to take down a few altered sung phrases from AVENUE Q, only to discover that they're in fact singing exactly what's in the printed score. Rather, one of the printed scores. There are three or four points where some obvious revision took place, and while we're performing it per the rental material, we wanted to deviate in just one little place, which is actually the most minor, insignificant change of all of them.

Fortunately for moi, a PDF score that someone found reflects exactly what's on the original cast CD and an early (ahem) DVD, so -- voila! -- my work is done before it begins! If only life could be like that all the time.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #21 on:** July 26, 2014, 06:06:44 AM »

For those with a sharp eye and an appreciation for subtlety, I conformed to the topic of the day by cleverly embedding a bit of French in the above post.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #22 on:** July 26, 2014, 06:20:04 AM »

Of course, I am remiss in not coming here first with silly questions about a show. Between DRs Elmore, FJL, Ben, BK, etc., it's always possible someone knows something that would help.

How about that, DR Ben! What a small world. Joe (and the entire cast) was excellent!

silly questions

I've heard tell that there's no such thing.

singdaw · « **Reply #25 on:** July 26, 2014, 06:27:26 AM »

DR ChasSmith, I am happy that your gas door thingy is fixed.

I'm sure that the cows will miss seeing you.

singdaw · « **Reply #26 on:** July 26, 2014, 06:28:20 AM »

Sigh. I wish that I had taken French in school, instead of Spanish. Going into choral music, the French would have been a lot more handy.

Ben · « **Reply #27 on:** July 26, 2014, 06:31:34 AM »

I wish I remembered more of the French I took in High School.

Ben · « **Reply #28 on:** July 26, 2014, 06:32:36 AM »

It's sad, though, that even at the Community Theatre level, they have microphones. You can see the mic on the man who's not my nephew. I don't know who he plays, perhaps the Donkey.

Good morning, all! I've bathed, answered emails, and I'm on my first cup of coffee. Things seem rather quiet on West 82nd Street this morning.

At 1:00, I will see MR CONFIDENTIAL at the New York Musical Theatre Festival because I have several friends involved in the production. That's my only obligation this weekend, and that fine with me.

DR Ginny, I was sorry to read about your difficulties with an aging parent. I remember in 2006 how happy I was when my dad was released from intensive care and I could take him home; fifteen minutes later I wanted to leave him on the side of the road. I have no comfort only cold facts: it won't get better. I do send hugs,
