And there were two raccoons in the street last night. You'd think I lived in the country instead of in town

Anyway, time for bed. It will be a nice quiet day tomorrow. Not into the hoopla of football, but if I have to pick a team it would be the Sea Hawks!

Cilla, I hope you don't spend all of your Sunday doing work.

Oh I won't. But I do want to do some things. I'm a lot more flexible with my schedule and came home early a few times this week, so working on Sunday doesn't bother me at all. I'll be at home so it doesn't feel like work

I have lots of raccoons, deer, and turkeys (and one lone black bear) in my area; and I live in the third largest city in Washington State.

It just seems like there is a lot of wildlife in my yard.

Today a third party listened to some of the songs I wrote (music) for this musical I'm collaborating on. I'm happy to say that they said the style fits the time period and things seem cohesive for a score. That's all I say about that at this time... oh yes... at this time

That's great, Matthew! Good luck with the project!

DR George the Dampfnudeln sounds good. Thanks for the links.

Jane, are you thinking about making them? Let me know if you do. I don't know anyone else who's had them.

Has anyone ever seen the cabaret show "Dames at Sea"? It will be showing at our local cabraet theater. Apparently it was the first show when the theater opened in 1986. They will be opening the current season with this. I thought it might be fun to go, thing is the chairs are incredibly uncomfortable.

I've never seen it, but I have the recording and really love it. It's a delightful score and was one of Bernadette Peters' early break-out roles.

Thank you for the PAINT YER WAGON info, DR Elmore.

This is weird, but as I listened to a few excerpts to whet the appetite, I found myself suddenly transported back to my high school days!

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like those songs ("They Call the Wind Maria", "I Talk to the Trees") were so much more known then -- as, I guess, was the show itself. I would swear that every choral group was singing this music routinely. These songs were part of the musical landscape.

Of course it doesn't help that I haven't kept up with the show, myself, over the years.

The 5th Avenue Theater in Seattle has announced PAINT YOUR WAGON for their June, 2016 slot. I wonder if they will be doing this new version?

According to the 5th Avenue Theatre website, they've commissioned their own script:

Quote

A sweeping saga of the mythic west and the pursuit of the American Dream, Lerner and Loewe’s Paint Your Wagon is filled with some of the greatest songs ever written for the musical stage—“They Call the Wind Maria,” “I’m On My Way,” “I Talk to the Trees,” and “I Was Born Under a Wand’rin Star.” Now, audiences can experience this lusty musical set in the rough and tumble world of the 1849 California Gold Rush as it has never been seen before. The 5th is famous for inventing new musicals—this time we are reinventing a classic.

The 5th Avenue Theatre commissioned celebrated writer Jon Marans to create a new book for the show, and Seattle audiences will be the first in the world to see this new incarnation of this thrilling musical adventure under the direction of 5th Avenue Theatre Executive Producer and Artistic Director David Armstrong.

Although, it doesn't say if they plan on making this version available for other theaters to do, or if this production is going on tour or to Broadway.

In case anyone is wondering, I will be watching the Super Bowl tomorrow.

Actually, so will I. I'm going to a friend's house for their superbowl party! Several other friends that I haven't seen in a while will be there, too, so I thought why the heck not??

Reading the comments to the story I found this "funny" addition regarding the author of the obit..

"AP, Yahoo, and all of the other sites need to update this article because there is additional information. The author of the obituary cannot apologize, get fired, or anything else as he is DEAD and has been so since a few years before Colleen McCullough passed away. The obit had been written a few years ago as is often done for famous people. It was not edited (or fully edited) before "The Australian" published it inside of the paper with other obituaries."

That's an interesting situation.

Post #227!

Does anyone remember the TV show "227" with Marla Gibbs? I liked that show. I remembered that show long after it went off the air because when I used to write checks for my bills, my car insurance account number ended in 227 and I would always be reminded of the TV show. Now, everything is direct deposit, or automatic withdrawal.

My, how times have changed...fortunately, mostly for the better.
