As we drove up to the airpor we watched the airplane arrive. We are picking up Keith's cousin and heading to the coast.

A couple of days ago, right out of the blue, YouTube presented me with a "recommended for you" -- audio excerpts from the tour of I Do! I Do! with Mary Martin and Robert Preston. I hadn't known about this recording and it hadn't come up in my searches. (I keep learning that you simply can't search too many ways to find stuff.) Man, they are on fire...as is the orchestra and a very lucky audience. Wish to hell it was the whole thing.

YouTube and ootleg-bays are a wonderful combination!

A community theater group is doing Hunchback in a few weeks. I may try to catch it.

I wish the 1999 German production was produced in the United States. It was extravagant like the musicals of its time. Rumor was that they didn't want to pay James Lapine to direct it in the states. There are some videos on youtube and an amazing cast recording (in German). The recent version that began in La Jolla and is the version that is licensed, seems to me to be a watered down version of what it could have been. It was probably created to shut people up so now there is a license-able version of the show. Same happened with Newsies although that had a more commercial run - and it wasn't meant to have one.

I don't understand German (or Latin, for that matter), but I really enjoy the German cast recording much more than the recent English language recording. It's good and I like it, but I LOVE the original recording.

My sister in Germany is on WhatsApp. She doesn't do Facebook or email, so it's been strange sending her pix and exchanging messages this morning. Spellcheck wants to change all of my German into English.

I have friends who use WhatsApp for communicating with family. That is funny about the German.

Quite a few years ago here at work, I had somehow changed my Word default dictionary to French so that practically EVERYTHING was misspelled! I don't know how in the world I did it, but I had to get the computer folks here to fix it. Fortunately, it was simple (for them), but it took me a while to get up the nerve to let them know that I did it. It was a little embarrassing.

Screen Time Vibes for DR GINNY

I can occasionally sleep that long because on previous evenings I've slept only four or five.

Back from on omelet and a bagel and picking up an envelope but no packages.

Listening to what will probably be the next Kritzerland release - our first classical release - my favorite symphony in an incredible performance by one of the most famous conductors who ever lived - a historic performance for many reasons - and cleaned up beyond belief. We've been working on this for four or five MONTHS now and it's rather amazing, IMO. I have several options if I want to put anything else with it.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #72 on:** August 31, 2017, 02:23:05 PM »

Exciting news about the next release.......I love it.

When it comes to culture - I'm the first hog to the trough.

Good afternoon.

Good ~~afternoon~~ evening.

I'll have you all know that Gmail, this afternoon, delivered five (5) pieces of legitimate (non-important but legitimate) email to me. They're all dated between April 13th and 16th, 2017. They're from five regular sources, but all just general stuff, none of which I'd have any freakin' idea if I'd ever seen it before.

It was about 104 today and humid like New York, New York. Then it rained with lightning, then we lost power (like a brownout, really), just for a second but long enough to shut the computer down, which is always a total pain in the butt cheeks.

John G. · « **Reply #86 on:** August 31, 2017, 07:40:18 PM »

I don't think I'll ever learn. I'm starting to watch the new version of Witless for the Prosecution that so many of you warned me about. Can't resist that Agatha Christie name. Wonder if I'll watch all of it.

People in town are crazy. Word got out that somehow Dallas was out of gasoline, so people here started swamping the gas stations. There was no shortage of gas, but everyone made it seem as if there were.

John G. · « **Reply #88 on:** August 31, 2017, 07:42:58 PM »

So, of course, some stations did run out of gasoline and the lines got longer everywhere else. There were still people waiting in line when I drove by several a few minutes ago.

John G. · « **Reply #89 on:** August 31, 2017, 07:43:16 PM »

And of course, the gas prices jumped 25 cents a gallon.
