Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of session two since session one was so yesterday, and now it is time for you to post until the two cows come home.

And, after a night of sleep, it is STILL lightning, thundering, and raining!

Speaking of which, when I watched the 1972 Once Upon a Mattress the other night, whatever copy they used had all of the original television commercials, and they left them in. It was kind of fun seeing how much everything had dated. And almost every one of the products advertised therein is no longer. Including Blue Bonnet margarine.

As for the show itself - Carol Burnett was, of course, wonderful. But I wasn't thrilled with the adaptation. Many songs were cut, and the ones that remained had verses and chunks stripped out of them. The book seems to have been edited quite heavily, as well. Oh, and Lady Larkin is played by a very young Bernadette Peters.

I have watched a bit of the black-and-white 1964 version on YouTube. I'm not positive, but I think it may suffer from the same editing issues. I guess that comes from presenting a full Broadway musical in a two-hour television time slot. With commercials.

This is ridiculous. What am I doing here? I'm in the wrong story!

Well, in the wrong time zone, at any rate.

singdaw · « **Reply #10 on:** September 17, 2015, 04:42:43 AM »

I hope that doesn't mean that you're suffering in any way, DR TCB.

Good morning, all! I am under the weather. I'd ratrher be sick now than the week of Oct. 5, but it's certainly cramped my style. Beginning around 1:20AM, I was up and down and restless most of the night. So, I slept late. I should have stayed there longer.

Another night of peculiar dreams: in the first I was either in Midsomer Murders or I was watching it, it's that vague now. Then I had a dream that had to do with college or some summer theatre and a production of CANDIDE, with a lot of friends I have not seen in years. The last one had something to do with BABES IN TOYLAND and the song "Evaline McCook" AKA "She Was a Country Girl."

So, I will work at home today, keep up the vitamins and positive thoughts, and write parts for cello and guitar.

Last night was not The Game's Afoot, but A Comedy of Errors.....many technical cues were fluffed and some of our gang were dropping their lines all over the place.

I lost my microphone and had to keep replacing it on my ear.....

And during the struggle with the dead body, when the worst actress in the world is supposed to ring the buzzer and interrupt us....she was off being busy talking to someone....

Our lively group of college students stayed for a talk back which was most interesting. The first question was, what's up with the blocking? Which made me feel very good, hearing the director try to justify his "organic" blocking which left a lot of the people on the sides showing their backs to the audience. He couldn't......

Good morning, all.

Seemingly normal dreams, but with an abstract overlay that simply can't be described -- to myself, let alone anyone else. Wearying, too, as though the activity in the dreams was actually tiring me out. Interesting, and at least benign, but just as glad to be up and at 'em.

Coffee!

Good to hear Session Two went splendidly, and enjoyed the pictures.

To answer properly, I'll have to run my eye over the DVD/BD collection and jot them down. There are the "big" ones, like 20,000 Leagues and Mary Poppins, certainly -- but quite a few others for various reasons as well.

good morning to all

Thursday morning greetings! I'm home all day until time to go to Lynne's for book group this evening. We're discussing Sonia Sotomayor's My Beloved World, which I read with my ears. Rita Moreno was the narrator of the audiobook.
