BTW, I don't know how DR George captures those, but this works for me:

Ctrl-Prt Scr, which throws the whole screen into the Windows clipboard. Paste into MS Paint. Crop. Save.

That's pretty much what I do, except I only have MS Photo Editor...a VERY old program.

Well, I think I said something about my parents' neighbor having a stroke. She passed away this morning. They've been living across the street from my parents since 1959. Marian was an elementary music teacher and a piano teacher. When I was about 5 I called her and asked her if she would teach me to play the piano. I hadn't asked my mom first, but when I did, she said yes. So that's how I learned to play. There were a couple times at Christmas when their family came to our house. Her daughter played the piano and we had enough to have two people sing each part of the Messiah. We didn't do all of it, but it was a lot of fun. Far from perfect, but it seemed ok. I have so many good memories about her. She will be missed.

I'm so sorry, Cillaliz. My condolences.

Well, I hate to do it, but I must be off. Today is the only matinee and the final performance of TAO's production of "The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged)." We will also have strike and some kind of cast party festivity of some kind. I also just got a text from our stage manager, asking if I could open the theater because she's running a little late. Since I have a key, I can do that, so I have to go now!

Have a good day, all!

I'm up, I'm up - I fell asleep around three, woke up at five and fell back asleep around seven, so I believe that's eight hours.

George · « **Reply #67 on:** June 26, 2016, 01:28:05 PM »

I'm at the theater and no one else is here, yet.

I saw the first 3 AIRPORT movies; never saw the 4th one.

I only saw the 3rd one because Christopher Lee was my publicity client at the time.

I really like #1.

We have 16 people for our last show.

George · « **Reply #71 on:** June 26, 2016, 02:42:11 PM »

They're pretty excited already!

George · « **Reply #72 on:** June 26, 2016, 02:42:46 PM »

I think it's a sure bet that it's going to be a good show.

Sunday evening greetings! Yesterday was quite a day here in Orlando. I had a full day scheduled at the conference, so after breakfast Richard and I made a meet-up plan and I headed to my first meeting. Just as it was ending, he called to tell me that the nurse practitioner at Walgreen's had referred him to the ER at a downtown hospital for the double vision he was experiencing. Met him at the hotel and we taxied to the ER that was making headlines 2 weeks ago. They ruled out the bad stuff, like a stroke or tumor, but we had to wait a long time for the MRI. Fifteen hours later (3am today) he was released with orders to see an ophthalmologist and neurologist at home.

So, having been up until about 4am, I was in no shape to get to the convention center for the morning things I had scheduled. We went to brunch and I picked up my schedule about halfway through my 1pm meeting. Richard spent a couple of hours in the exhibit hall and I found him napping when I got back here about half an hour ago. We think we'll order pizza and stay in this evening.

Yhr greatest final performance I ever attended was March, 1980, when Len Carious ands Angela Lansbury left SWEENEY TODD. I would guess the entrance applause, riots after every number and the audience's refusal to leave at the finish added 30 minutes to the performance. It was a wonderful day, but if you didn't know SWEENEY TODD going into tat performance, I'm not sure you ever did that day. It was for the die-hards.

Today's closing of BRIGHT STAR never reached that frenzy, but it sure came close. This was a bigger, wilder closing than that for FINIAN'S RAINBOW.

As soon as Carmen Cusack walked onstage, the place erupted. In Act One several numbers got that enthusiastic response: the title song, "Whoa, Mama," and the wonderful "Asheville." Steve Martin joined the band for the Entr'Acte. The numbers that got the biggest ovations in Act Two were "Heartbreaker," which Paul Alexander Nolan performed really well, "I Had A Vision," and "At Long Last." At the curtain call the audience did not want to leave. They stayed through the Exit Music. Steve Martin, Edie Brickell, the choreographer and Walter Bobbie, who was badly snubbed by the tonys since this is his best direction and it's wonderful, all came out for the curtain calls.

I saw Martin Short talking to Walter during the intermission.

I will miss BRIGHT STAR a lot.
