Well, I need to get some sleep. I have a doctor's appointment in the morning.

Good night.

TOD:

A few life changers from my early days:

Mary Poppins when I was about 3.
An album of George M. Cohan songs when I was 7 or 8.
A Little Night Music when I was 11.
Springsteen’s Darkness on the Edge of Town when I was 16.

T.O.D.

Life changers?

When I was 4-years old, my mother took me to see Disney's PINOCCHIO.

I heard the little wooden guy sing, "Hey, didley-dee! An actor's life for me!"

From that moment on, the only thing I wanted was to be in show business.

My family thought I'd outgrow it, but I didn't.

True story.

TOD

Film: Mary Poppins & Sound of Music (At age 5 & 6 respectively)
Music: My Fair Lady (My parent's Broadway LP). Then the soundtracks of Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music which were my own.
Book: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (I also had the complete book on LP and from memory could recite the first three chapters)
TV: The annual broadcast of The Wizard Of Oz hosted by Danny Kaye
Theater: Tour of Fiddler On the Roof with Paul Lipson as Tevye
Bonus: Alice In Wonderland read by Cyril Ritchard box set on several LPs with the original John Tenniel illustrations on the covers. Just like Wonderful Wizard of Oz. I wore them out.

Big connection looking back at what I liked growing up.

TOD: I saw "Forever Plaid" with some friends at a local theater. I knew as soon as Sparky said "Love is a long and slender thing" that I just HAD to bring my daughter to see it. She LOVED it and became quite obsessed with the show. We bought the CD of the show (we had to buy a CD player to play it). She had quite the teenage crush on Jason Graae, so I took her to see him in concert in the LA area. He was touched by this young fan who came all the way from Phoenix to see him. We saw him in concert again at the Cinegrill and he introduced us to BK himself. That led me here. And to all you lovely people. Of course, I met DR Kerry through this site, and he became a part of our family.

BK, please hold a copy of THE CRUCIBLE for me! I'm waiting on a check.

I slept poorly. Very poorly.

Annabelle has been rather hyper this morning. Maybe it's the weather.

Just wait until that Da Bird thing comes, Elmore. Just wait.

I'm ready for some chilly weather; I hate this it's-hot-it's-cool-it's-warm-it's-freezing vacillation.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #50 on:** October 09, 2017, 06:01:56 AM »

DR Laura, I loved your comment on HEDWIG; I feel that way about WAITING FOR GODOT. I'n glad I've seen a professional production. Once is enough.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #51 on:** October 09, 2017, 06:06:55 AM »

CD ORDERED!

I just sent a very polite and refined email opting IN for The Crucible.

YOD:

The Paper Chase (although more the TV series than the film) made me feel I just had to somehow go to that particular law school, and that goal changed my focus in school and my life, so i guess that would be a life-changer.

Fifth of July, the company led by Richard Thomas, did a lot to change my attitudes about life.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #58 on:** October 09, 2017, 06:44:44 AM »

There's a wonderful tie-in, for me, between the TOD and the CD release itself which represents one of BK's main life-changing events.

It just happens that Emerson Buckley was the conductor of the Fort Lauderdale Symphony during our years living there, in those formative years of mine when the first of my own life-changing events had either struck, or were about to strike, like lightning.

He'd also been conducting opera in Miami, and I'd imagine he was one of the stronger influences in the Florida-centric classical music world over a number of years.

I should research the number of recordings he made. I don't think there are a lot out there, but certainly a few other operas.
