I'm expecting pithy things from you.

I'm quite sure you meant to type "pissy."  That, I can do.      :)

Oh, we can all do pissy, Missy. (Glad you're back.)

GET TV has been showing episodes of THE THIN MAN with Peter and Phyllis.  It really is an awfully dreary show....I know when I was ten, it was on at 4 p.m. every day.  I don't know if it was a syndication opening or not, but they were in a car with the headlights illuminating the credits....now they are walking the dog down the street....

And they live in an apartment instead of the brownstone with the floating stair case that I remember....maybe I've only seen season two episodes.....

I've only seen one episode. Yawned through it.

Hi, everyone. Just grabbing a quick moment to stop by and let you know that I am still alive. And to apologize to you all for being so very, very errant and truant. I've just been very busy. And sick. Sick! And taking care of our rescue pup. Who ate my homework. In any case, sorry.

I had hoped to catch up on every single post and notes before I came back, but at this rate it's just not going to happen. So I'm jumping back in and will have to catch up as best I can. But I love you all and have missed your daily updates. Apologies also for any birthday greetings I may have failed to offer.

See you 'round the living room!

Welcome back, Sing!

~~~Feel Better Vibes for You!!~~~

New perk added to tempt everyone - an incredible signed musical quote from Leonard Bernstein - this being from Mass (two bars from Credo) - boldly signed by him and dated 1971, the year in which Mass premiered, which makes this even more valuable.  Priced way under what it's worth, but we're going all the way here. :)  https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/l-a-now-and-then-a-new-musical-revue/x/9165600#/

I'm back from Das Phantom der Oper.  Another great performance.  Unfortunately, Elizabeth Welch, who played Christine on Broadway (and is another American in the cast) is on vacation so I saw the alternate Christine both nights.  She was fine, but I was looking forward to seeing Elizabeth.

Bernstein signed musical quote - SOLD.  We're at 111% and have covered the Indiegogo part of the fees.  Just a bit more to cover Paypay now.

Yup, and I did watch to the end of that series.

New perk to tempt everyone :)  An original costume sketch by the legendary Alvin Colt for - hold on to your hats - Li'l Abner - not only that, but it's for Mammy Yokum - beautifully rendered color, signed by Colt, with a pencil notation way below the actual art of "Rae" as in Charlotte Rae, who created the role.  Priced WAY under value and these kinds of things NEVER come up for purchase.  Grab it while the grabbing's good.  https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/l-a-now-and-then-a-new-musical-revue/x/9165600#/

That one must have gone quicker than the Bernstein, BK.

Ina way, it's like Tony Hunter selling his paintings in The Band Wagon.

I need to make a quick trip to Costco, then I'm going home.

Until later.

Two new tempting perks up - one, another Alvin Colt costume sketch from Abner, and two, a signed note from my close personal friend Stephen Sondheim to me, with most amusing content.  Details, of course, on the Indiegogo page.  We've now covered all the Indiegogo fees and probably the Paypal fee and are on our way to maybe covering the extra musician fee.

Surprised at the power of Straight Outta Compton, with the exception of its depiction of women. They aren't even two dimensional. They are either sluts or nags. Or maybe a secretary or two.
