Friday Quiz:

What Fox musical film has a prominent visual promo for the film and its soundtrack in the early going of “Midnight Cowboy”?

[Ron Pulliam]

DRs Elmo and ChasSmith:

How do you take to Peter Filichia's current column at Kritzerland?

[Ron Pulliam]

I'm here alone.  Not even any guests.

"So sad to be all alone in the world!"

Peter's an old friend.  I', quite fond of him.  I do not always agree with him, but he's one smart cookie.

[Ron Pulliam]

Exquisitely side-stepped.  Thanks.

I have my answer.

I'm up, I'm up.  I announced last night so I wouldn't have to get up at six.  I got up at six-thirty.  Why?  Who knows.  I fell back asleep at seven thirty and slept till nine-thirty when the phone rang, then fell back asleep until ten-thirty - seems to be a day off next door.  So, I think somewhere in all that that I got eight hours of sleep.

Basement walk today = 18 minutes.  Progress.

CDs have arrived in the Land of Steady Habits.

Last night, I went to the Fur Ball, a fundraiser for the local Animal Defense League. Fun evening.

That is such a coinkydink.  Last night I coughed up a Fur Ball!

Ha!

[ChasSmith]

Damn it to HELL.  Finale is offering an April Fool's discount of nearly half the upgrade cost to 2014 ($79 instead of $149).  For that, I really should do it.  I just wish I weren't bleeding money right and left these days.

Edit:  Sale runs through noon Monday.  Promo code NOFOOLING.

Was it Hello, Dolly!?

I find it interesting that the Amazon link to the book had items I have previously searched at the bottom of the page.

That's because you're looking at it on your computer (or tablet) and it gets the information from your browsing history.  When I look at the Amazon listing, I see MY previously searched titles.

No.  Earlier.

I don't know that I'd agree with every point any of the reviewers has made so far, but Filichia's columns are always interesting to me, even those that sail right over my head because I don't know the subject.

I'd question a couple of things -- courteously -- (I really liked Christiane Noll's Abigail), but definitely appreciate his observations.

Ron, great choir story yesterday. I wish I could sing. Even the bird looks at me funny.

My DDC (that's "dear departed cat" in HHW lingo) used to run and hide if I broke into song.

April Fool's from University (of Michigan) Musical Society!

I saw this.  It is rather clever

Yes, but it is always startling when it does that from another person's link.

Keith dropped me off in town again as my contacts were waiting to be picked up.  I forgot to set my fitbit to track the walk home.  It was a lovely walk with a short break to by an ice cream cone.

In total today, so far, I have walked 4.82 miles. 

[Laura]

So, DR Laura, did he?

He did.

[Ron Pulliam]

Today seems "unseemly".

You read it here first.

Today seems unseemly.

I don't know why.

[Ron Pulliam]

I've been watching "Carol Burnett and Friends" on ME-TV recently.

Musical guests such as Mama Cass and Melba Moore have guest-starrred.

Also, Joel Grey.

I don't know if these half-hour gigs represent the entire show or an edited-down version of an hour-long show.

As for Mama Cass.  She and Carol did a non-musical skit together.   Ditto with Melba Moore.  No singing.

Joel Grey got to "sing" a very silly (and nearly unending) duet with Harvey Korman.  They were both dogs in a pet store trying to get adopted.

Very trite and dull.   Am wondering why these shows weren't better, given the reputation of the series!

Back from a cup of soup and a sandwich.  Went to the mail place but mail hasn't arrived yet - new driver who's been getting there later and later - they've called and complained and will continue to do so until the jerk arrives in the morning as he should.  Was hoping the pension check was there so I could get it into the bank, which is now doubtful, which means it won't credit to the account until midnight on Tuesday.

But this is the last time it will be a check - May starts direct deposit.

Well, just arrived from Sweden (I had actually ordered this from the European website, but it's not listed there anymore) is the reissue set of Barbara Dickson's four theatrical recordings, More Brecht Than Broadway! (The link is from the US site.)  The set includes "John, Paul, George, Ringo... and Bert," "Blood Brothers," "The 7 Ages of Woman," and "Spend Spend Spend."  The only recording that I already have is "Blood Brothers."  I don't mind an extra copy to be able to get the rest of the set.

What's REALLY cool is that it's "Strictly limited to just 1000 individually numbered copies, the first 500 signed by Barbara!"

I got number 006!

[George]

HOWEVER...the problem is that I think I may have ordered this twice.  I got an e-mail saying that it was shipped, but then when I logged into my account on their UK site (from where I ordered it), there was a message saying, "This credit card authorisation failed".  I updated my info, but then it showed my original order from last November as "Pre Order" and another order as "Order Placed Successfully"!  I sent a couple of e-mails but no one has responded!  We'll see if I get another copy...which I don't need.  It cost about $86 with shipping!

[Ron Pulliam]

I hate it when that happens.

DR Elmo:  You understood I was talking about today's Filichia column on "1776" and not his column in general, yes?

No. I have not checked out his column today.
