Well, you've read the notes, the notes broke their fast, and now it is time for you to post until the breaking their fast cows come home.

Had a wonderful time watching the taping/broadcast of Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion." Lovely music and sketch comedy, and of course it is fun to watch the sound effects guy work his magic. People come from all around the country to be in that audience. Garrison does not use any notes for his "Lake Wobegone" monologue - it is all either extemporaneous or memorized. The audience in the theater sure had a good time! It will be interesting to listen to the archive to hear how the show came across over the radio, having been there to "see" it.

We then traveled several blocks westward to the Ordway for the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra concert. They played Sibelius's incidental music for "Pelléas et Mélisande," based on the same Maeterlinck play as Debussy's opera of the same name. Gorgeous stuff! Then the Frank Martin Violin Concerto, marvelously played by soloist Baiba Skride, and after the intermission, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. I never tire of them!

Today, I have to go to church to sing for the People, if I can get there what with the marathon going on. Then an afternoon rehearsal, followed by attending an evening dinner party. Whew!

Interesting tidbit: Jonathan Coe's 2001 novel, The Rotter's Club, closes with a single 33-page sentence consisting of 13,995 words - the longest ever written in the English language. What a doozy!

There are many other examples of "restricted writing":

Gadsby is an English-language novel of 50,100 words, none of which contain the letter "e."

Never Again is a novel by Doug Nufer in which no word is used more than once.

Lots more...

Good morning, all.

Somehow, Singdaw, I don't think Red Velvet Oreo Brownie Bars are vegan.

Show vibes for BK and company!

singdaw · « **Reply #12 on:** October 05, 2014, 05:41:44 AM »

They definitely are not, DR John G. However, I am just drooling over them, not eating them.

Dawn on marathon morning. 35 degrees.

Good morning.

Good morning, all.

It's still 42 degrees here (the overnight low), and only going up to 59 today, even though it's sunny and clear.

And I object. That's too cold for the 5th of the month.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #16 on:** October 05, 2014, 05:58:20 AM »

Vibes to BK for a clear throat and a great show tonight.

Good morning, all! I slept in because I could and because I did not want to leave my warm bed where i was dreaming a really strange dream about being in an off-off-Broadway play in a loft.

Now that I am up, I will work on PAINT YOUR WAGON, look over a few orchestra scores that my friend Nathan wanted my opinion, and maybe watch a Netflix disc that has sat here for weeks.

Druxy · « **Reply #18 on:** October 05, 2014, 06:38:34 AM »

THE DOGS OF WAR is a good movie. I haven't watched it for awhile. I should pull out my DVD and watch it again soon.

Druxy · « **Reply #19 on:** October 05, 2014, 06:41:58 AM »

I finished listening to AND THE WORLD GOES ROUND last night.

Terrific! I think it's the best BK produced recording I've heard. Really loved it.

DRS George and vixmom, I thought you might enjoy this review of the London production. I laughed:

There must be a process server after him.

Your review was lovely DR ELMORE. The review at your link was most enjoyable as well....since I didn't have anything to do with that show.

Your dream may mean that you are going to come to Indiana next summer to see me in a show....

Larry's dream reminds me of that old ditty about a real estate shortage that went "Oh, oh, oh, who has the last loft now?"

FJL · « **Reply #27 on:** October 05, 2014, 08:02:58 AM »

Fun to read of Larry's visit with Kevin and his friend.
