After lunch Rob and I are going to visit Mom. She will like the 2 boxes I have for her. One contains her fall decorations and will keep her busy for a while. The other is a pound of See's soft-centered chocolates.

Can you buy See's candy locally now or did you order it online?

Page Two Darren Matthias Dance. The last show we did was Poor Superman at the Phoenix back in the 20th Century....but he may recall it.....he knows me as Jack Randall

I loved the notes and reading all about the CD's and Mr. Sherman.

I must have been absent on the day MR BK discussed SUBWAYS...... I am appalled.

I got mine thanks to that last mention. A few months back, methinks. I hadn't known about it, either.

Thanks, DR Elmore. I'll deal with the downtown schlep, and the sooner I have the thing, the merrier life will be.

There's a See's shop in the mall where the Apple Store is. There's also a Vera Bradley store, but I didn't indulge THAT vice yesterday.

BTW, Richard's laptop is fine and he's pleased with its performance. We did spend some time looking at a new, HUGE, desktop for him, but didn't buy anything.

Got the previously underused CD player from the living room hooked into the KLH system, PASSION is playing on the lovely Medium Size 1960s Bookshelf Speakers, and life is beautiful.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #38 on:** September 15, 2016, 09:11:53 AM »

Lovely......I like all of the Trotter cd's.....but I especially LOVE:

The Fantasticks
Company
A Funny Thing Happened.....

ChasSmith · « **Reply #39 on:** September 15, 2016, 09:16:25 AM »

I think I have them all. Should just bring up the stack.

Now, A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC -- and wow, BK is right again.

Just piano, and the essence of the music. Haven't listened to the show in a long time, so this is especially nice.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #40 on:** September 15, 2016, 09:26:03 AM »

TOD:

"On A Clear Day You Can See Forever" and/or "She Loves Me".

Or have they both (or singularly) been done already?

John G. · « **Reply #41 on:** September 15, 2016, 09:49:07 AM »

I'll have to see if time and budget allow for the show. Sounds like fun. Wish it were something I hadn't seen so many times.

John G. · « **Reply #42 on:** September 15, 2016, 09:53:51 AM »

TOD:

Finian's Rainbow (To piggyback on Ron's list, anything by Burton Lane)
Funny Girl
The Boys from Syracuse
Top Hat film score
Anything Goes

John G. · « **Reply #43 on:** September 15, 2016, 09:54:36 AM »

Food truck day at the office. Had a bacon jalapeño burger. Need a nap now.

See's and Vera Bradley, a great combination for you

I went back to my original post and corrected the correction spellcheck made for me

Good news on the laptop.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #45 on:** September 15, 2016, 10:16:43 AM »

Ah!

For the TOD:

I shall second Anything Goes and She Loves Me.

And i shall add:

Bye Bye Birdie
Li'l Abner

ChasSmith · « **Reply #46 on:** September 15, 2016, 10:37:48 AM »

"Li'l Abner" has been done. (Previn, I think.)

I second all of the above, but I do especially like DR Ron Pulliam's "Clear Day" and "She Loves Me".

ChasSmith · « **Reply #47 on:** September 15, 2016, 10:38:58 AM »

And now I am off to some lunch. Nothing special, just something I can grab quickly. I need to shop later because there's basically nothing in the house.

John G. · « **Reply #48 on:** September 15, 2016, 11:14:19 AM »

I had a fried Twinkie from a food truck. But the mention of See's Candies has me hungry.

Jane · « **Reply #49 on:** September 15, 2016, 11:21:58 AM »

Keith would be drooling over the fried Twinkie. I want the See's

Jrand74 · « **Reply #50 on:** September 15, 2016, 11:51:26 AM »

Ah DR CHAS SMITH....I am listening to samples from the Lil Abner CD....interesting....but something seems to be missing....not sure what....of course these are only samples....

bk · « **Reply #51 on:** September 15, 2016, 12:25:12 PM »

I'm up, I'm up - got up at eleven after about seven hours of sleep.

bk · « **Reply #52 on:** September 15, 2016, 12:25:52 PM »

While She Loves Me hasn't had a jazz treatment, I do think there was an orchestral cover version by Frank Chacksfield. On a Clear Day would be a great jazz album.

bk · « **Reply #53 on:** September 15, 2016, 12:26:41 PM »

AOL had a worldwide outage and finally came up - it's still up save for one of the accounts I have which promptly went back down.

Here are the Trotters I have. It seems like I checked some time ago to determine whether this was all of them. If anyone knows of something else, please say so.

Passion
A Little Night Music
Company
Forum
Sweeney Todd
Follies
Fantasticks

bk · « **Reply #57 on:** September 15, 2016, 03:39:13 PM »

You have the six Sondheims, so that's complete. Aside from The Fantasticks, which you also have, you're missing Star Wars in Jazz and The Michel Legrand Album, both of which are well worth having.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #58 on:** September 15, 2016, 03:44:20 PM »

Thank you!
