DR Elmore, I'm so glad you liked BEAUTIFUL and that you got to visit with some friends. The show is coming to Cincinnati next month and I'm thinking of taking Rob and Mary Linda. Looking forward to your reaction to COME FROM AWAY.

In 1988, the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Channel 13 produced a Gershwin Festival for George's centenary. There was a gala concert, for which I was librarian and fill-in orchestrator, with guest stars including Julia Migenes, Madeline Kahn, Maureen McGovern, Larry Kert, Leonard Bernstein, Greg Birch, Chris Walken, Chita Rivera, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Rosemary Clooney, and Johnny Green. This was followed by a week run of Of Thee I Sing and Let Them Eat Cake in concert. Rge wqhoke affair was conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas.

Johnny had arranged many of Fred Astaire's recordings from the 1930s, and there was a whole sequence planned around those Astaire arrangements, which are quite wonderful. I ended up working most of the rehearsal week with Johnny; he was a bit of a curmudgeon, prickly and curt, yet he and I bonded, and I looked forward to spending each day gossiping, bitching and laughing, and working with him. He liked me because I was there to work, I had plenty to do, and I accomplished it. There was a great deal of needless PBS money spent - while they pleaded poverty - and much wasted time by unprepared directors and choreographers.

One day, while I was asking questions about Johnny's career, he mentioned the score to Raintree County. I had seen the film, and I knew from all my cast and soundtrack recording that the recording was a very rare and very desired commodity. We talked about that, but I wanted to talk more about the work on the film Oliver!, his 30s recording work, and his conducting the Rodgers & Hart show A Connecticut Yankee. After the gala, when we said goodbye, and he returned to LA, I creid like a baby; it was as though I'd lost a grandfather. He died not long after, and I still miss him enormously.

That's a very nice (if bittersweet) story, Larry.

I'm up, I'm up - Two for the Road arrived and that's all happening today. I also didn't sleep very well - maybe seven hours, if that.

We've asked Shirley before but her husband always either didn't pass it on or said she was busy.

Did she re-marry after Marty Ingels passed away?

Great story, Elmore.

I had to do more work on yesterday's problem, and now I wait for answers.

Well, this is pretty cool! Harlequin Productions just announced their 2018 season, and they're going to do "Ruthless! The Mother of All Musicals"!

Today I received a lovely package from DR GINNY that included DH RICHARD'S copies of their theatre going last week.

Most excellent.

THANKS DR GINNY AND RICHARD

I too enjoy THE CRUCIBLE very much. I have been in it twice and have seen it two other times.

I don't particularly like the Daniel Day-Lewis version, but it could be because I watched it while I was rehearsing a production and all the lines changes seemed weird.....

Jrand73 · « **Reply #44 on:** April 07, 2017, 01:27:02 PM »

I like to see it LIVE!!!!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #45 on:** April 07, 2017, 01:28:10 PM »

I have played Rev. Samuel Parris and Thomas Putnam.....Parris was more fun because he was bad and had many more scenes and lines.....

Back from a Philly cheesesteak sandwich and a few fries and picking up no mail.

You're welcome, DR JRand - enjoy!

MR BK I think I was thrown out of the group on FaceBook - the woman who was harassing you told me to go slop the hogs on my own page..... LOL.....or maybe she just deleted the thread.....

I won't miss those silly posts on her page - they never amounted to much.....but maybe one in fifteen had something interesting in it.....

bk · « **Reply #49 on:** April 07, 2017, 03:35:06 PM »

Actually, I recommended she block me if she did not want comments - hence she probably did. She was a first-class idiot.

Good evening!

Sorry about Don Rickles, though paraphrasing BK, 90 is a pretty good run.

I don't believe I've ever seen The Crucible.

Touching story DR elmore.

George · « **Reply #54 on:** April 07, 2017, 05:44:56 PM »

Well, it's time for me to take another Trip to Bountiful, Of course, I don't know what the audience will be like. Hopefully, they enjoy it...as always.

Be back later.

This will NOT do and let me tell you we'd best get a frenzy or five going on.

Everyone should check this list and read the upcoming regulations for flying within the USA. If your state is not compliant with the federal regulations your driver's license will not be acceptable and you will need an enhanced driver's license.
