Let's just all dance right through Monday.

Page 2 Monday Dance-- how timely!

City Center needs one or more of the following:

1.  Vibes
2.  Witchcraft
3.  An enema

Shall we put it to a vote?

[FJL]

Good morning, all! I finally decided that staying in bed forever was not the solution, so I am dressed, the bed is made, and i will sn head down to Toyland to schlep some things home.

I had some bad news on Saturday that sent me into a talspin: I've been working on scanning the JUBILEE full scores in hopes that funding might be raised to record the show or that Encores! at some point will do it, but I was told Encores! will never perform the show because the woman running City Center knows nothing about musicals and rejects all shows she does not know, which is most of them. So, by Sunday morning, my attitude was, maybe i should stop scanning the scores and just throw the whole mess into the garbage; it's clearly never after nearly 30 years, going to do anything for my vanishing career, so WTF?

On a more positive note than something I once did really well gathering dust, I'm getting out of Dodge ASAP. I will carry a few more items hme from Toyland today, and I hope to have all the heavy lifting finished by Labor Day. I will call Bruce Pomahac today and see if I can get some help transferring the DEAREST ENEMY materials back to Rodgers & Hammerstein.

DR John G, I wonder if Luca Della Casa is related to the wonderful opera star Lisa Della Casa?

Larry, as you know - some of the higher-ups at that organization can be punitive, even to people outside their organization who question them.    So be careful - although my impression of Ms. S from having both heard her and met her is that she is as caring a head of a non-profit as can be, especially about the public and the need to serve the community.  I'd bet her feeling is more like that if she's never heard of the show, spending hundreds of thousands on doing it would not be at all popular with the typical donor or subscriber.

If we're voting, since I have to leave soon to the office and can't check in form there - i vote strongly in favor of Ms. S.  I have a sinking feeling I'll be the only one here voting that way.

Good morning, all.

TOD: DR Mike beat me to posting "Charlie's Place" and Vixmom got "We'll Take a Glass Together," so here's another favorite, "I Had a Ball." Onna White's choreography, Karen Morrow's roof-raising voice and one of the silliest songs ever, if you listen to the lyrics. And it doesn't matter:

I wish to make it very clear that I blame Encores! not at all, and that I am very grateful that Encores! essentailly saved my life and kept me working this past December to May. I am very grateful to my friends there, and I believe they are all aware of the various and sundry reasons I would like to a concert of JUBILEE. As I said, the word that's got back to me from people of the advisory board is that there are several shows that the lady ion charge of City Center has shot down since she doesn't know them. Perhaps that will change but I'm running out of time.

And greetings from Encores! Toyland! Spoo!!!

[Ginny]

Monday morning greetings!  It's amazing what a good night's sleep can do!  Richard and I just cleaned up our kitchen and I'm doing a little puttering before getting ready to visit Mom and deliver some party leftovers to her.  I have cake and cookies from the birthday party and baked beans from the cookout.

DR ELMORE continue copying JUBILEE.....you may need it....and it will be good to have. Where are Cole Porter's papers?  Are they at Indiana University?  If nothing else, it may find a good home there.

[Jrand73]

I enjoyed the dance video in the notes and all of the subsequent videos here.

I was late getting here this morning because I had to do the weekly shopping....and I am still working on lines.  I hope to be off book for my first rehearsal tonight. 

[Jrand73]

Here is a nice video of THREE MAMES doing the title song.

Actually, I think his papers are at Yale.

My original full scores are with the Cole Porter Trust here in town.

A tune that is familiar to many is "danced" to at StarQuest.

Both nice places......DR ELMORE.  Don't let it go yet.  I always figure until I'm dead, there's a chance.  That's why I have shelves full of books and scripts.

[Jrand73]

I love Antenna TV and Cosi TV and THIS Tv.....our Comcast service carries all three.  They are NOT HD channels, so sometimes you have to look at the LOW numbers to find them.

That's sort of what keeps me from diving off the roof: maybe the ticket I didn't check won the lottery, maybe the phone will ring the minute I've hit the pavement, maybe the postman will show up with the sale papers on the Ohio property after I'm dead. It's what keeps me going during the blackest days, but somedays I worry I'll lose that optimism.

I am stuck in this damned office waiting for the printer to work. Oy!

[Laura]

Good morning.

I have been asked to test a web site registration link before it goes live. I would like to register under some funny names. Just because.

Would you all like to help me come up with three or four funny names?

We get Cosi TV with Channel 4 (NBC) and This TV with Channel 11. We are about to get 2 new channels Escape TV and Grit TV. They are on the screen in beta test mode right now on Channel 68, a local broadcast station which usually has Spanish content but they recently added "Get TV" which shows many older movies and some more current but all cut up for commercials.

We also get Bounce TV on another local station Channel 9 WWOR

No one in NYC has picked up Retro TV or Me-TV for OTA broadcasting

Bounce TV

Get TV

Escape and Grit TV
