FFAD:
I was wondering if any of you could help me with a little project I'm working on. I need a list of songs from musicals that are about greed; and even better, about people behaving deceptively in the name of greed; like songs about con artists. But really, songs about greed in general would be good. Thanks!

One of my favorites is The Sound of Money from I Can Get It for You Wholesale, which has a couple of other greed songs in it.


All I can think of is money  from caberet

I hope that none of you who are flying home soon are booked on United Airlines. Today they actually forbid a 10-year-old girl from boarding because she was wearing leggings and also two teenage girls, for the same reason. The little girl's mom had a dress of hers in her bag and she was able to put that on and board, but the two teenagers presumably had nothing handy and couldn't board. The family was using employee passes, the use of which carries dress codes. But leggings? Like 'em or not, they are fairly standard attire. And she's a kid! The dad was wearing shorts, but that was considered acceptable.

Thankfully, I no longer fly much, but I'd be really skeptical of flying with an airline whose rules are so arbitrary. I fully concur that people should dress appropriately in public and that pass passengers are representing the airline. But this is crazy. United has just created a PR nightmare for itself. Maybe some of their executives should run for Congress.

Even though we weren't sitting together, Richard and I were totally immersed in and enchanted by NATASHA, PIERRE, AND THE GREAT COMET OF 1812.  The young man who played Anatole is a former student of my college friend from Florida and he was amazing.

I didn't realize one of the girls was 10.  Too bad there weren't clothes to be borrowed for the teen girls.  In somewhat defense of the airline, I have always heard about the strict regulations when you fly with an employee pass.  I am actually surprised shorts were ok. It seems they have already relaxed their standards.  From what I read the website was too vague on what clothing is permitted.

Why I waited so long I have no idea, today I asked Keith to change my keyboard for the one I used to use.  He also switched out the mouse.  This is much better :)

After the show we went to John's Pizza and were told there'd be a 20-30 minute wait.  I went to the restroom and came back to find Richard sitting at the bar with a beer.  I sat down and ordered my own beer and the nice bartender asked if we'd just like to eat there.  Since we'd had no lunch, we decided to do that and watch the second half of the Kentucky/North Carolina basketball game.  While we were eating our friendly bartender gave each of us a complimentary shot glass of something "not for diabetics."  We saved them for dessert and, after we'd finished them, he told us it was butterscotch schnapps topped with Bailey's.  Yummmm!

Butterscotch schanpps topped with baileys... I wonder if they were "butter beer" shots

A Bronx Tale was surprising. The first was a little unfocused because it had so much story to tell but the second act was tightly written and the cast was great.

This may be Glenn Slater's most effective set of lyrics.

Thank you, John G. and JRand66 for your suggestions! I'll have to go research all those songs since I'm not familiar with them.

And the show is over.  It closed beautifully, and Joshie and I went to the party.  We got nice compliments from Sheldon Harnick and others. I met spouses. girlfriends and boyfriends of the cast and crew. chatted with a lot of people, and I am home.  I must get to bed since I need to be up by seven.

I hope the recording week goes as smoothly and wonderful as the show.

Amy, in the animated Magoo's Christmas Carol, Scrooge has a lovely song about Ringle, Ringle, coins when they jingle.

Buddie, Beware in Anything Goes is a song of greed. And of course, Sondheim's More from Dick Tracy is the standard.

It's a lovely day today, so whatever you've got to do, you've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true.

Here in Tumwater, it's been raining since before I woke up.  But since I love the rain, it IS a lovely day today! ;D

Go walk an hour or two in it, day after day after day, and then tell me if you still love it ;)

No.  But I have driven in it and enjoyed that.
