Well, you've read the notes, the notes certainly made turnips popular again, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently trying to find some damn turnip soup and wondering why I didn't use that wonderful photo with Henry Diltz in my book.

And the word of the day is: PARAPRAXIS!

Those are great photos in today's notes, BK.

Yes, the photos were great!

Good morning, all! For all of it's being chilly outside. it was too warm in my apartment and I slet poorly. Still, there were tons of dreams, the last one being all about "Evaline McCook" from Babes in Toyland, which has been big in my thoughts the past couple of days.

I have a simple day: Joshie and City Center. I am currently in the middle of "But Mr Adams." Joshie is a Finale madman, and I think he told me he only has four numbers left to copy. He's way ahead of me.

The only bad thing is that my leg - after the prodding, poking, and pummeling yesterday - is in a great deal of pain. But we go on.

A big group "thank you" to everybody who wished me a "Happy Birthday" yesterday. I tried to post an individual "thank you" for everybody, but I might have missed one or two of you.

BTW: Did you know that you can now sing "Happy Birthday to You" without having to pay a royalty? A few months ago, the courts ruled that the song is in the Public Domain. And, it really has been for years.

Also, next year, since I will be 76, I believe that the proper song to sing on my birthday is "76 Trombones" from THE MUSIC MAN. And, I will expect a parade.

Again, thank you all.

Good morning, all.

A rather nice sleep was had, with but one silly dream at the end which of course wanted to go on repeating itself ad nauseum and infinitum.

et cetera, et cetera, et cetera

Coffee!

EXCEPTIONAL PICTURES, BK.

What a treasure trove. You should publish a book of them.

That STOP THE WORLD is stunning. Made me want to run and put the record on. And so I shall today.

Shirley Jones, beautiful.

The Weekday Heroes almost had me thinking for a moment that I could stand to live my childhood over again.

I'm now in my 30-minute wait before I head out, and it's such a bore with nothing to do but wait to leave.

Pipe Bursts at Drama Bookstore. Enter ‘Hamilton’ Creator to Drum Up Business.

A playlet in four acts, set in the Drama Book Shop, 250 West 40th Street, near Eighth Avenue, starring A BURST PIPE as the villain, and LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA, the creator of “Hamilton,” as one of many heroes.

Act I. Time: Early morning, Feb. 15

SHAWN VERRIER, a manager, arrives to open the store for the day. Sees that the front windows are fogged up. Looks puzzled. Unlocks the door. Looks up at ceiling. Sees water dripping — a lot of water. Sees a sheet of ice on the floor — water that had frozen after pouring down from A BURST PIPE upstairs. PIPE’S motivation for bursting is unclear.

MR. VERRIER senses that this is a catastrophe for the shop, which bills itself as the oldest performing-arts bookstore in the country. Tears up. Sobs...

What GREAT photos!!! Thanks to MR BK for sharing them! That's why I take lots of photos.....they are not interesting today....but in a couple of decades - priceless!

Sending thoughts to DR TCB. Have you tried Mrs. Murphy's chowder?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 24, 2016, 07:03:55 AM »

We are expecting rain turning to sleet turning to SNOW. I do not think I will be traveling down the road to the meeting for LITTLE WOMEN.

My new book of parodies, this one "climate and global warming sung to the oldies" - is now up on Amazon. I think this link should work.

Good morning, all.

Congratulations, Fred, on the new book. Do you benefit if we buy it through Amazon?

John G. · « **Reply #20 on:** February 24, 2016, 08:22:48 AM »

Love the photos, BK, and now I want some soup. But I might prefer apple-parsnip to turnip.

Wednesday morning greetings! Another night of being awakened every hour or so by my cough and sleeping in my recliner from 3am on. I am no longer amused.

Because of my cough and the snowy weather forecast, we are not going north this evening for the dress rehearsal of Dayton Opera's OTELLO. My friend Sharon is in the chorus and gave us her free tickets.

John G. · « **Reply #23 on:** February 24, 2016, 08:25:36 AM »

Vibes for Ginny, TCB and anyone else in need.

John G. · « **Reply #24 on:** February 24, 2016, 08:26:36 AM »

ChasSmith, you are to blame/credit for a slew of Criterion discs coming my way, including a pair from my teen years that meant a lot to me: The Emigrants/The New Land.

No coughing vibes for DR GINNY. I am on a Tussin regimen that helps somewhat.

Tonight's LITTLE WOMEN meeting has been canceled, and I didn't have anything to do with it.
