The Teddy story revealed by a friend:

"Many people have asked, so here's what I've been told: my beloved friend Teddy Antolin was rushed to the hospital on Friday by paramedics after calling in sick to the shop and died yesterday (Monday) morning at 9am of massive heart failure complicated by diabetes."

I don't know that he told anyone he had diabetes.  Not something he would have shared.

BK, that was a very touching tribute to Teddy in today's notes.

I have to get some ZORBA songs into my fingers for some upcoming auditions.  That will be enjoyable.  They're doing it this summer at this Connecticut theater I indirectly dreamed about a week or two ago.  Oddly, they called me to play these auditions the day following that dream.  Ain't that something?

I've never seen the show, but I love the score.

Tuesday morning greetings!  We are snowed in a little bit this morning, but at least Mary Linda made it to work and Rob made it home.  I am hoping for a better day today than yesterday.  In addition to my health concerns, yesterday I received a recall notice on my car (the airbag issue) and had a meltdown over some financial dealings for Mom.  My cough kept waking me up and I finally moved to my recliner at 1:45 this morning and slept there until about 8am.

Thanks, DR George!  On the Mom front, I just took 2 steps forward with the financial thing. 

Then I took one step back...

I am back from a wonderful rehearsal.  The direction is good, the choreography is good, and the cast is really good.  It's a strange morality piece that has too much piety for me, but it has funny lines, two amazing gospel numbers and a pretty good score with a standout number, "Taking A Chance on Love." I think the Encores! staging shows the work off as well as could be and I wish it much success.  It deserves a recording.

I just launched the Indiegogo campaign for the LA show.  Please check it out and contribute if you can - the first day is key.  I think there'll be some perks you'll all enjoy, so check it out and do what you can.

The more I've heard about the project, and think about it ..... I agree without hearing a single note.

I mentioned the other day some DVDs we'd taken to Amoeba, where we got an incredibly stupid jerk, so we just wouldn't give him anything.  So, I'll offer them here - some you'll have to have a multi-region player for and I'll note those.  Some of these prices are dirt cheap for box sets that originally cost upwards of sixty or seventy bucks.  If I haven't specifically mentioned region two, they will all play in US players.

Edgar Wallace Box sets - SIX VOLUME in all, each volume has four DVDs with one movie on each DVD.  All are in their proper ratio and in black-and-white or color.  The films span from 1959 to 1967 - most have German and English dubs.  These are seriously fun movies from a time when movies were seriously fun.  This is an import from Germany and is most likely region 2 (I can't tell because both my multi-region players automatically play DVDs from anywhere).  If you take all six sets the cost will be $60.  These originally sold for sixty bucks each.  If I break up the set, then each volume is $15.

Two by Kurosawa, both region two: Drunken Angel, I Live in Fear - $10 each

Hot Blood - Cornell Wilde and Jane Russell in a Nick Ray movie - region 2 $5

Roman Polanski's WHAT? region 2 $5

Gulliver's Travels Max Fleischer cartoon - $5

Felix et Lola - region 2 Patrice Leconte film starring Charlotte Gainsbourg $5

Cisco Pike - Gene Hackman, Karen Black $5

The Long, Hot Summer - $5

Falling in Love - De Niro and Streep $5

The Muppets Take Manhattan $5

Tango - region 2 Patrice Leconte film with Philippe Noiret $5

Bananas Is My Business - Carmen Miranda documentary $5

The Chairman - Gregory Peck $5

The Black Windmill - Michael Caine - region 2 $5

From the Terrace - Paul Newman $5

Raise the Titanic - Alec Guiness - region 2 $5

Delius and Elgar - Ken Russell films about the composers - region 2 $5 each

Bad Company - Jeff Bridges $5

Indictment - excellent film about the McMartin trial with James Woods - $5

Hell and High Water - Sam Fuller film with Richard Widmark $5

War Gods of the Deep - Vincent Price $5

Kings Row - Ronald Reagan $5

10 Rillington Place region 2 - $5

Damn the Defiant Alec Guiness $5

Liberace Behind the Music Victor Garber Maureen Stapleton $5

40 Pound of Trouble Tony Curtis $5

Fathom Raquel Welch $5

The Shanghai Gesture Von Sternberg Gene Tierney region 2 $5

It/The Shuttered Room double bill DVD $5

Hannie Caulder Raquel Welch $5

Something Wicked This Way Comes $5

Voodoo Island/The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake double bill $5

Just PM me what you need and we'll go from there.
