So, following weeks of waiting for this to be finalized, I can say that in June a regional company up here is presenting James Lapine's ACT ONE, for which I will play the scene-setting/transitioning piano music composed by Louis Rosen for the Lincoln Center production. It only plays two weekends, so, not a huge project to take up loads of one's time, but it should be a relaxing and interesting change from typical musical activity.

They originally had it in mind to use the piano, but with bits of period music from hither and yon. I held my ground on doing it if they'd license the Lincoln Center music. I'm pleased that they did, and I'm rather looking forward to it.

The worst part of a Time Warner service call? The number of unnecessary phone calls beforehand! Three this morning and one last night, all from an automated voice regurgitating the same unnecessary information.

They all end with "if you do not wish to change this appointment, do nothing" after making you listen to a lot of needless options. Did they ever think that if i wanted to cancel or reschedule, I might call them and request it?

The cable man is here. I like the fact that he showed up on time.

Sounds like fun DR CHAS SMITH.

I am being taught my song for LITTLE WOMEN tonight.

My TV is back, and I had a fantastic service man named Rashawn, who seemed a really good fellow. He arrived on time, and was out of here in 25 minutes. I will give him a great review when Time Warner does their follow up call.

Tuesday afternoon greetings! Rob and I were at the book sale site at 10am to help with the move-out. I didn't do much but provide the cargo space in my car and Rob's muscle. I bought him lunch and dropped him off at Miami in time for his genetics class.

Was there a title song for "Very Warm for May"

May was a character's name.

DR Jean, thanks for the link. I have seen runners on the path here wearing those arm bands with the larger phones. I think it is more to use the phone to track their heartbeat, speed, distance than to comfortably carry the phone.

I don't Know anyone here I can get to sew something. I found some possible options on eBay. Fossil shows a hands free phone wallet that I thought would be perfect, except I don't see anything on it to make it hands free.

Ginny, I checked Vera Bradley and found a pretty phone wallet but it only has a wrist strap.

DR Jane, how about a Phubby?

Yes, but that does remind me of "Charming Weather," the hit song from the 1909 London musical, THE ARCADIANS:
It's nice and warm, I think that we shall have a lovely day,
Very very warm for May,
Eighty in the shade, they say.
Just fancy!
It almost looks as if the sun has really come to stay;
My, what very charming weather!

The show was also a hit in Manhattan, and Kern and Wodehouse discussed it when writing the 1917 Have A Heart.

This is a new one. Thanks for the link. Anything on my wrist or arm won't work. I layer clothes and am constantly layering them off and on while I walk.

Second playing of Eubie! today. Brings back a host of memories.

We (our staff plus a few assorted others) are going to lunch across the street at Lake Chalet (downtown Oakland on Lake Merritt) to celebrate the birthday of one of our staffers.

I have a 2 p.m. appointment with my doctor today to see about my blood pressure meds and why they're not doing what she wants them to do (two weeks ago, she tossed out the meds that were working in favor of a new med) (one week ago, another doctor doubled my evening dose and quadrupled my morning dose in hopes that would work) (the morning dosage is working marginally well but my pulse is too low).

We shall see what we shall see.

And then we shall see more.

Am looking forward to watching some of my new Twilight Time Blu ray discs this week. First up will be Fred Zinneman's marvelous 1977 film "Julia" starring Vanessa Redgrave, Jane Fonda, and Jason Robards Jr.

"Eubie" and the Howard Hanson CDs arrived yesterday. Many thanks!!

vixmom, I hope today's work day is less hellacious than yesterday's.

Oakland is overcast today. We aren't expecting any rain until tomorrow...and that's "iffy".

One of my co-workers made chili for yesterday's cook-off. She had quite a bit left over and has invited me to take a big batch of it home.

I may just do so.

For he, or she, who is scrolling through all these messages and wondering when the hell I am going to shut up, the end is near.

The end is surely only a few posts away.

So sad to be all alone on HainesHisWay.com.

The one guest is of no comfort at all.

Sometimes, though, when I think God is watching, I'll sing and dance and do a commercial for myself!

(I stole that from Lily Tomlin's character "Edith Ann").
