First day of dancing in close to a week. It felt good.

But I have a lot of work before June. A lot of work.

Has anyone ever played ping pong in the round?

That looks exhausting, Singdaw.

Watching The Desert Rats. Great Alfred Newman score. Love the variations on Greensleeves in the background.

Hit a Half-Price Books in Austin with a friend on Saturday. She found a Korean DVD of Fellini's White Sheik for $2. What a find!

I got the Kristin Chenoweth version of Candide for a few bucks and a two-CD set of British radio shows called "15 Minute Musical." But I would have liked that White Sheik.

The choir of King's College, Cambridge was magnificent.

And the venue was so close that I could walk to the concert.

Love that store. Only been in one a couple of times, in the NW Dallas suburbs. But I always found something to take home.

Well, well, well... Julie Andrews will be writing her bio, part 2 - taking up at the beginning of her film career.

Really enjoyed the first volume, so that makes me want the second.

I wish I weren't so tired.

John G. · « **Reply #105 on:** March 23, 2015, 08:45:56 PM »

I have too much work to do and not enough energy to do it.

DR ChasSmith - here is that Leontyne Price moment...

Thank you. I watched that many times back in the day ... on my Beta Hi-Fi tape that I'm afraid long ago disappeared.

That completely uninterrupted camera shot is a lesson in so many things -- from Price's artistry, to the relatively simple broadcasting methods then, to audience expectations, both in the opera house and at home. Today, that would be turned into a multi-camera special effects extravaganza that couldn't even touch that moment.

It's made in LeMars, Iowa, the Ice Cream Capitol of the World!!!!

A lovelier than lovely review from Rob Stevens for Sandy's show last night: http://www.haineshisway.com/2015/03/sandy-bainum-it-might-be-fun-reviewed-by-rob-stevens/

Um, maybe I'm misreading this, but it appears we are still on page four. Surely that must be a mistake and don't call me surely.

Get me off this damn page.

So nice to have my piano back and playable and sounding wonderful.

Kiddies, page four doesn't cut the mustard, doesn't cut the mayo, and doesn't get the ketchup. Help out here, for heaven's sake before I get out the bitch slap machine.

I seem to have been enjoying a second wind ... at 2:25 in the morning. Good thing there's nothing on my calendar for tomorrow.

But I'm fading fast now. Sleep approacheth...
