DR Elmore, dare I ask (No!!!) if you are using Finale yourself in any way on the Loesser project?

What with my schedule and obligations over the past month, I'm afraid those lovely tutorials were demoted to zero on the priority scale. I'll get back to them soon, since it's become a thing I'm stubbornly determined to say I've accomplished.

Only for playback and examining scores. I thought we had discussed by Finale incompetence here several times.

More coffee!

Good thing I remembered to pick some up at the store last night. I would otherwise have had one (1) (count'em) cup left for this morning, and the world would not have fared well had that been the case.

All hell is breaking loose at the laundromat: I inserted 20 quarters into the washer, which told me I had entered 17 and stopped there. I needed to get the manager who refunded me $5.00 in quarters. Then I went to buy soap and the three quarters jammed in the machine. This could be a loooooooong day at the laundromat. Those mothers need some maintenance.

Oh yes, and that's all I meant.

We should be reaching 90 degrees today. I ran the air conditioning for a little while yesterday afternoon for its first time this year. By this afternoon I'm sure it will be back to full time. Summer, she is here.

I did as well. When it was cold enough to hang meat in the apartment, I turned it off.

TOD:

Like your approach, DR Michael. I just wonder if Al would be looking down from above or looking up from below.

I would show Al in one of his late-life drug-induced euphorias and use that as a tie-in to those trippy Busby Berkeley fantasies. It could be like Jelly's Last Jam, where the unsavory character is granted a chance to look over his life in an attempt for achieving some form of redemption, however fictional that might be.

The cold is still here. Nose runnier than yesterday. Thankfully, I'm working from home today. If it gets to be too much, I can just quit for a while.

Show ran just over two hours last night. We had some temporary lights, which was helpful in defining the spaces we have to ACT and SING in.

There are some nice things in the show - not enough to move it into the category of a "good" show - but it's not AWFUL. I'm talking about the show not the production...

Most schools in my area ended yesterday so the streets are full of screaming children....and the stores will be full of them as well.

I guess.....I would have my lead character be a catalyst for everyone around him and have them make changes in their lives when they see what a jerk he is...in the end, they have changed for the better - and he is still a jerk.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #47 on:** May 26, 2016, 06:33:45 AM »

There is a number in the show that is NOT working.....well MORE than one. But one of the assistant directors talked to me about it last night. It wasn't one that I had been asked to work on.

I told her I would think about it.....I looked around on YouTube and it seems that EVERYONE had a problem staging it.

Then.....this morning I woke up with the answer....so perhaps we shall try it tonight.

I saw my super on the street, and he says he has not officially been sacked since there's been no word from the management. What the hell is our building manager doing by telling people in the building before notifying the employee?

Druxy · « **Reply #49 on:** May 26, 2016, 06:39:02 AM »

This afternoon, I am going to host a screening of THE MALTESE FALCON at the Terrazas Branch of the Austin Public Library.

If we don't get rained out, it should be fun.

I also saw Jason Robards in HUGHIE at the Huntington Hartford.

It was a matinee and I had the feeling that he was "walking through" the performance, but he was still brilliant.

I like answers that come like that.

I think the same solution would apply with a straight play or a musical.

It's no secret that Rex Harrison was disliked by most people who worked with him. So, in my play, SEXY REXY, I made him the butt of the jokes. He was such an outrageous a**hole that you sympathize with the other characters (e.g. Lilli Palmer, Kay Kendall, Rachel Roberts, Carole Landis), all of whom are "ghosts," and laugh AT Harrison.

I had a similar situation with my one-person play, JOLSON, but people go to an Al Jolson play to hear the songs. They "forgive" Jolson's being an a**hole when he sings.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #54 on:** May 26, 2016, 06:56:04 AM »

Had never heard that most people who worked with him disliked Rex Harrison.

Audrey Hepburn adored him from all accounts. I guess he had his idols, too.

Having my coffee at my desk.

I don't really know what today "feels like". When I woke up, I wanted it to be Saturday.

Then I remembered I have tomorrow off.

Now it's sort of like an obligatory intro to the four-day weekend I have coming up.

Today is a birthday lunch for a co-worker. "I" organized this one. I got the birthday boy to tell me where he would like to be feted. After that, I issued the invites to department co-workers and some outside "adopted" co-workers.

That was last week.

This week I asked for volunteers to transport our "10" (count 'em 10) attendees to the restaurant via a carpool

I had four volunteers, two of whom I challenged to flip a coin because they could each take three other passengers and I had already enough cars for the remaining six passengers.

Now it's all settled. I have issued an e-mail telling everyone with whom they are riding.

So organized. So tidy. And so unlike our get-togethers in that everyone knows exactly how they are getting there and with whom, well in advance of the event.
