Back from doing stuff - my little shoes that I got so I won't fall down again arrived a day early.

As it turns out, the sinkhole was not on our side of Woodbridge, but on the dumb side east of Laurel Canyon. They've got Laurel Canyon closed from Moorpark to Valley Spring Lane whilst they fix it, but thank goodness it wasn't on the good side of Woodbridge.

Time for a nap.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #64 on:** February 18, 2017, 12:27:33 PM »

I'm hungry.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #65 on:** February 18, 2017, 12:28:41 PM »

We eat in an hour.

I hope they have a horse on the menu, because I could eat one.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #66 on:** February 18, 2017, 12:29:25 PM »

No, not really. I haven't gone that far off the deep end yet.

I have to leave in an hour to usher for the ballet's production of Sleeping Beauty.

I played the commissioned song and I have to say they loved it. This is a family thing - a surprise for the father who's being honored at an event. So, it starts with the young daughter, then the older daughter sings her verse, they sing the first bridge together, then mom has her verse, then the three of them sing a second bridge, and then everyone in the room will stand and sing the final verse. I have to say, the tune is really catchy - in a way it's a shame this will be its only use

They loved the lyric and thought I captured each of their feelings perfectly. That's why I had that dinner a few weeks ago - to ask questions and listen to their answers. I didn't really use anything they said literally, just words here and there and the general spirit of what they were saying. Should I print the lyric here?

Joshie and I fine-tuned the overture, looked over some concerns he had in one of his scores, revised the score for "Sing sing for sing sing," and I came home. I just proofed the new intro to "Say It With Gin," and I'm breaking for the evening.

I guess you didn't take a walk to see it

Saturday morning greetings! I just christened our new shower and it's very nice. We'll like it even more when the flooring is something other than plywood sub-floor.

Congrats on the christening, Ginny!

Oh, my goodness!

I'm so glad that I don't live in an area with the potential for that kind of flooding. $:-\$

Hello, everyone.

As you all know, the weather frogs were correct about a big storm yesterday. The skies have now cleared and the sun is out in my 'hood.

The Sunday storm is for Northern California, but we're expecting more rain next week. Normal rain, not a mega storm.

bk · « **Reply #78 on:** February 18, 2017, 04:35:15 PM »

Here's the lyric - of course it's just a lyric without the really catchy tune that goes with it - very upbeat and melodic.

THERE IS THIS GUY I KNOW
SO LET ME CROW
BECAUSE HE’S REALLY SPECIAL, YOU SEE
WHO MAKES MY SKY SO BLUE
I’LL TELL YOU WHO
WHO MAKES THE SUN COME OUT JUST FOR ME
ALWAYS HUMBLE
RARELY HEAR HIM GRUMBLE
IF I TAKE A TUMBLE
GETS ME BACK ON MY FEET
WHO IS GENTLE
EVEN WHEN I’M MENTAL
GLAD HE’S NOT A RENTAL
HE’S SO SWEET
HE’S MY DAD

THERE IS THIS GUY I KNOW
WHO’S WATCHED ME GROW
AND BEEN THERE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
AND IF I COME UP SHORT
HE’S MY SUPPORT
A SHOULDER I CAN LEAN ON ALL DAY
GETS ME THROUGH THINGS
TELLS ME I CAN DO THINGS
AND THOUGH I MAY SCREW THINGS
UP – HE’S ALWAYS THERE
THERE TO GUIDE ME
ALWAYS THERE BESIDE ME
HELP THE TERRIFIED ME
NONE COMPARE
TO MY DAD

AND YOU KNOW THAT
THOUGH THESE WORDS MAY SEEM TRITE
HE MAKES EVERYTHING RIGHT
HE IS PATIENT AND CALM
HE’S THE BEST DAD THERE IS
WE’RE SO GLAD THAT WE’RE HIS
LET’S TURN IT OVER TO MOM

THERE IS THIS GUY I KNOW
HE’S MY HIT SHOW
HE MAKES MY WORLD A BEAUTIFUL THING
HE ALWAYS FITS THE BILL
HE ALWAYS WILL
I LOOK AT HIM, I JUST WANT TO SING
HE’S SURPRISING
ALWAYS ENERGIZING
ALWAYS MESMERIZING
HE MAKES ME WANT TO SOAR
WHEN I MET HIM
I COULD NOT FORGET HIM
AND I WOULDN’T LET HIM
GET AWAY – CLOSED THAT DOOR
THERE IS JUST ONE OF HIM
AND YOU KNOW I LOVE HIM
MORE AND MORE

AND YOU KNOW THAT
THOUGH IT’S NOT A BIG DEAL
IT’S THE WAY THAT WE FEEL
HE IS REALLY A GEM
ALL THE PEOPLE HE’S MET
SING HIS PRAISES, YOU BET
LET’S TURN IT OVER TO THEM

THERE IS THIS GUY WE KNOW
HE MAKES US GLOW
YOU KNOW THE GUY WE’RE TALKIN’ ABOUT
THERE IS NO NEED TO WAIT
LET’S CELEBRATE
IT’S REALLY SOMETHING WE’VE GOT TO SHOUT
SO WE’LL SHOUT IT
CARRY ON ABOUT IT
NEVER EVER DOUBT IT
YOU’RE THE GUY WE ADORE
YEAH, WE’RE BRAGGING
YOU’RE THE GUY WE’RE TAGGING
THERE’S NO WAY WE’RE LAGGING
NOW THAT WE’VE GOT THE FLOOR
THERE IS JUST ONE OF YOU
AND YOU KNOW WE LOVE YOU
MORE AND MORE!

Richard and I are leaving in about an hour to see an HD re-broadcast of NEWSIES on a big screen.

I wanted to see this, but I didn't take the time. Hopefully, it'll either be shown again, or released on Blu-ray (or at least DVD).

Jeanne · « **Reply #80 on:** February 18, 2017, 04:36:02 PM »

Bruce, could you sing a bit of the commissioned song for us here at some point?

Thanks, Jeanne! Today and tomorrow are the days where I need to eat a low-fiber diet, then Monday is the actual day of preparation, with only "clear liquids" allowed besides the actual product

Jeanne · « **Reply #85 on:** February 18, 2017, 04:45:49 PM »

Oh, I see Bruce posted the lyric while I was typing my post.

Jeanne · « **Reply #86 on:** February 18, 2017, 04:47:24 PM »

wow! How could the recipient--Dad--not like it?
