Well, you've read the notes, the notes danced the anniversary waltz, and now it is time for you to post until the anniversary cows come home - they've been coming home for thirteen years now.

I am "sinistral" :-)  for many things.  Unfortunately the word began with  negative connotations, as lefties were thought to be from the devil.  There evolved the English "sinister" from the Italian "sinistre"  Alas, many a child's left hand was tied behind his back by parents attempting to cure the kid of left-handedness (my grandma).

I found haineshisway.com about a year ago, after a chance meeting with the elusive Guy Haines in a parking lot after a play; Haines let slip the  existence of this long running blog, and pattered about some guy named Bruce Kimmel who professes to write it.  I am mostly a lurker here but enjoy reading haineshisway.     

Congratulations on 14 years (5,110 days? don't know with leap years) of blogging, longer than most Broadway show runs.   Marchons, marchons!

Happy anniversary to this here site.

I'd been reading the notes and doing the trivia contest for a while, and one day, BK mentioned there were clues to the trivia contest on the posting board, which I'd never visited before and which I promptly read, and that's how I found the pleasure of posting on the posting board.

I am approaching 22000 posts.  Is that round enough to be a milestone?

DR Cillaliz, I hadn't thought about her emailing me the pictures.  That could work except i would have to try to explain which pictures i wanted.

I wish I had the day off to enjoy the festivities!

What I have instead is a day of getting to the theater early to do some things, playing the closing show, and then packing up the keyboard and amp and sh stuff and loading it all into the car for the trip home ... all during which I do look forward to enjoying the presence of a couple of Vixes.  And then, once home, I must get me ready to rise at dawn's crack for a quick trip to Ohio!

So, in 2003 I got a phone call from Liz Callaway, who was doing a pops concert gig and trying to organize the charts she had, mostly mine, to determine exactly what needed to be done in setting an orchestra and number of orchestra parts she needed for strings, etc.  We met at the Cafe 82 around the corner from my apartment, took a large table, and started inventorying and gossiping. 

I had been working with the Packard Humanities Institute since 2001, and I hadn't spoken to BK in a couple of years, although I had received a very biased call from a major player in the disaster that befell BK and the label which shall not be named. My story didn't jive with Liz's report and that gave us much to discuss, including something I did not know since i was still very much a computer moron. At that point I could do email and eBay, and eleven years later, i can still do very little.

What I did not know what that BK had begun a website, HHW, and when my meeting with Liz was over, i got on the Mac and found the site.  My memory is that this was around Thanksgiving 2003, because I sent BK an email congratulating him on the site and sending my sympathy and support over the mess and nasty rumors I'd heard.

   I told you to fire him!!!


BK sent me back a very wonderful email and asked me if at some point i'd do an interview for the site. I said yes and thought no more about it.  Then the questions arrived, and at some point in early 2004, the interview went up online.  I lurked for several weeks out of pure ego: I wanted to know what response my interview got.  Well, very little, actually, but by then I had come to knw all the current DRs from their posts, and I signed on.

So, I am up and on my second cuppa coffee. 

I slept around 10 hurs last night, and my nose is stopped up but i feel rather good.  I have to clean the apartment and listen to a composition by the son of a friend and five my thoughts on ot. Then I will listen to "The World Goes Round" with the vocal score. I'm looking frward to that.

And that's my day.
