Well, you've read the notes, the notes were understudies, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - their understudies are on today.

And the word of the day is: HUCKSTER!

First post after BK!

Today, I have no plans to go anywhere except to visit my sister for a little while. Otherwise, I will stay home and learn my lines! We have to be off-book by tomorrow! I'm not quite there yet, but I'm getting there...slowly but Shirley.

Have a good day, all!

Ben · « **Reply #5 on:** March 15, 2015, 04:00:15 AM »

Morning all.

That is all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #6 on:** March 15, 2015, 05:10:42 AM »

Good morning, all.

Coffee is your friend.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #7 on:** March 15, 2015, 05:22:08 AM »

I have just time to savor one cup and then I must be off to the playhouse to bring everything home.

Not really looking forward to the schlepping (it's time for that familiar refrain, "why oh why oh why oh, didn't I take up the piccolo in Ohio?"), but I look forward to having everything back home and set up.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #8 on:** March 15, 2015, 05:23:06 AM »

I'll treat myself to some doughnuts or something nice on the way back. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Good morning to all

With all the talk of pie yesterday I thought of Don McLean's Bye Bye American Pie.

Here is the poster from the show that never was. Five days after the music died.

A relaxing day, i hope. Then back to taxes tomorrow.

Good morning, all!

It's another overcast and gloomy day in Manhattan. I have no plans to go anywhere, so I will do some tidying, maybe write a few notes, and perhaps catch up on some DVDs.

Last night, my wife and I watched THE WIZ.

I'd seen it on the stage and, also the movie when it was first released, but she'd seen neither.

I gotta tell you:

Although I like many of the original songs from the show, THE WIZ has got to be one of the most ill-conceived movies I've ever seen.

I love almost all of Sidney Lumet's films, but God did not mean for him to direct a musical. He had absolutely no idea where to place his camera.

And, Diana Ross as Dorothy....

I could go on, but I won't.

Stop pussy-footing around, Druxy, and tell us what you really think!

That's how I feel pretty much everyday.

And some of the sets from THE WIZ were used in XANADU.

I hope the cows' udderstudies are prepared.

Sunday morning greetings! Fr. Richard excused me from Lima because he thought I needed to be here for the last day of the book sale. From noon to 5pm, you can buy a brown paper grocery bag (donated by Marsh Supermarkets) for $6 and fill it with books. We hope to get rid of A LOT today.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #23 on:** March 15, 2015, 07:38:39 AM »

That almost got an illegal groan out of me, DR Jrand64.

Almost.

I caught myself just in time.

No groaning, perhaps. But what about Matt Groening, creator of the Simpsons?

And I have a poster up in my work room from "Nowhere to Go But Up," a stage flopsical from James Lipton that Mr. Lumet is billed as the director of. He didn't learn from that.

Paella Challenge today. Must be off in a few to go watch people cook food I shouldn't be eating. But probably will anyway. All that rice.

Very good, John, I wondered if anyone would catch that.
