Tom, last night (about a half hour ago) you asked, "Didn't they have any songs you liked?"

Yes, I don't doubt that there were songs that I like, but I just don't like singing karaoke. I don't mind watching and being with my friends (other than when it's always too damn loud...and last night was no exception), but karaoke has never been something that I enjoy doing. $:-\$

That's too bad.

TCB · « **Reply #5 on:** August 30, 2016, 01:03:32 AM »

Well, George, I think I need to go to sleep.

Jane · « **Reply #6 on:** August 30, 2016, 01:09:01 AM »

Hello. I am sorry I haven'the been responding to posts as I normally would. On the upside I have been sleeping better than usual after a day of playing.

Jane · « **Reply #7 on:** August 30, 2016, 01:09:30 AM »

Off to play on Corfu

Good vibes to all!

Better sleep is a good thing, Jane!

TOD: I've always liked the word "disenfranchise"- I have no idea why, except it seems to sound like exactly what it means.

And of course "Shipoopi."

FJL · « **Reply #13 on:** August 30, 2016, 02:33:42 AM »

Vibes for "No drama" for BK, except onstage!

Why am I up at four-thirty? Hopefully I can fall back asleep. Re Gene Wilder - one Facebook story showed up on my newsfeed from an actress who said she'd met and worked with him and wanted to share her story. They were appearing together in a scene on a boat in The Frisco Kid. They were doing a take and Gene started to tear up - director Robert Aldrich yelled cut. Gene leaned into the actress and said, "You're nothing like Gilda." Then she tells us the scene ended up on the cutting room floor. So, what's wrong with this picture?

a) The Frisco Kid was shot in 1978 and released in 1979.
b) Wilder didn't meet Gilda Radner until 1981 on the movie Hanky Panky
c) this heartbreaking line he supposedly said, "You're nothing like Gilda" means she's saying Gilda had already passed away and he was still not over it. Gilda did not pass away until 1989, a decade after The Frisco Kid was filmed.

So, a few of her friends come on with "beautiful story." And it is. But it ain't true. Do you correct her and set her straight or let it go?

FJL · « **Reply #15 on:** August 30, 2016, 05:04:45 AM »

Did the actress ever do any later films with Gene Wilder where that might have actually happened?

bk · « **Reply #16 on:** August 30, 2016, 05:13:07 AM »

Nope, she has VERY limited film and TV credits, maybe ten things. As always on the imdb, where you can put your own stuff, it says she's "best known" for this and for that, but looking at her credits and what she played, she appears to me, at least in those early days, to have been an extra or bit player. She was in The China Syndrome - that's her biggest credit, but it's like not really a character name.

Good morning, all! I couldn't sleep last night.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #18 on:** August 30, 2016, 06:01:29 AM »

Around 2:30 or so, I finally drifted off. I guess I gort about 6 hours of sleep. This will be a low-energy day.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 30, 2016, 06:03:02 AM »

I've got more "Crapshooters Ballet" today. I think I became frustrated with George Bassman around m. 60, so I have 199 bars to go.

Tonight, i am having dinner with several friends from Miami University Theatre when I was a grad student around 50 years ago.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 30, 2016, 06:05:32 AM »

DR TCB, I hope Elijah's recovery goes really well.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 30, 2016, 06:08:13 AM »

BK, I would say nothing about the inaccuracies in the actress' story. She needed to boost her ego and reinforce her image as a poor little waif with it. Shooting her down will make you look bad and a bully.

I'd then drop the lying bitch as a friend.

John G. · « **Reply #23 on:** August 30, 2016, 06:25:58 AM »

Good morning, all.

John G. · « **Reply #24 on:** August 30, 2016, 06:26:58 AM »

I wouldn't say anything either, BK. We can't police all of the errors on Facebook.

John G. · « **Reply #25 on:** August 30, 2016, 06:29:08 AM »

It's funny but I was telling my friend Bonnie just yesterday about two words I loved: mellifluous and elephantine. She chimed in with onerous. Another on the list is festoon.

Good morning, all.

As for curse words, I love the malleability of fuck in all its permutations and glories. So handy, so pliable, so exultant and low at the same time. So right. So wrong.

DR John G, I am sorry you are having such headache problems.
