Five!

[John G.]

Watching Anika Noni Rose, Judy Kuhn, Danny Burstein and Raul Esparza in a tape of The Cradle Will Rock. Lively Blitzstein, beautifully sung.

[George]

Well, I need to go now and usher for The Phantom of the Opera with live organ accompaniment.

Be back later.

The live organ accompaniment to the 1925 PotO was great!  There were about 190 or so people there, but that's an average amount.  The people who come to these love them.  I've been ushering for the silent movie series for years.  Highly recommended...if you ever have the chance to see Dennis James.  He lives in upper NY state (he mentioned that in today's presentation) and travels around the country (if not the world) performing for silent movies.  He also mentioned that he's been playing the organ for almost 50 years.  I can't wait for the next one.

I just saw a trailer for the new remake of Murder on the Orient Express.  It makes it look like it's going to be an action adventure thriller.

I am proud of you, DR George, to have a dinner party at your house. Even with clean and tidy quarters it can be challenging.

Thanks, Jeanne!

Larry I found out my Mom fell the other day because she was balancing on a step stool to change a light bulb. (Fortunately she is ok)  I ordered one of these for her

It is supposed to be delivered Tuesday so I don't know how well it will work. But I will let you know as soon as we test it out

My sister has something like this.  She loaned it to me last month and it worked really well.

Will you let us know which brand it was?

I sent a text to my sister.  I'll post it if she lets me know

[George]

Don't you just hate it when people write all over your pristine record jackets?



Oddly enough, no one except the director and me had thought of asking him to sign anything.  Which is just as well, because by the time we were doing these, he was getting tired and was ready to head back up Route 7.

That's really cool, Chas!  I've purchased quite a few signatures from eBay and Amazon, but getting them from the person in person and personalized makes them much more special.

The wonderful poet Richard Wilbur has died at age 96. His lyrics for Candide were cited by Sondheim for their excellence.

Oh, no!

But 96 years old...that certainly was a long run.

Looked like fun, but I still have to ask: Why? The original is perfection.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

Because no one has original ideas anymore...or is willing to take chances on original ideas anymore.

Page five?  Really?

Spent most of the evening planning a new Kritzerland release.  Wonderful music.  Lots of cleanup to do, but if it's done as per usual this will be an amazing two-CD set.

[bk]

Just lost a Levi actress, one of our Asian gals.  Three days before rehearsals she tells me she booked a show in Orange County closer to where she lives and she took it.  Non-Equity, just like us.  I will never understand this kind of selfish idiocy, never.  Why was she even auditioning for a show when she committed to this.  And now I have three days to find someone.  It's just sickening and a bad move on her part - a Sherman Brothers show, for what - some stupid ensemble crap.  Good riddance.

Oh, my goodness! The nerve of some people!

[bk]

It's beyond nerve - it's shooting yourself in the foot - that's what these people never understand.  It's a small town and I will never use or recommend this person for anything.  I honestly think she probably doesn't know who the Sherman Brothers are.

[Laura]

I'm sorry, BK. That's just awful.

[Jane]

I bought some fresh jujubes yesterday. Never had them. Don't really know what to do with them except eat them.

Fresh, just in from the candy maker?

I want to see the original or read the book.

Good evening.

[TCB]

Hi, George.

[Jane]

Bruce, I'm sorry.  I hope you find someone better.

[TCB]

I went to the grocery store today.

[TCB]

It was not my choice.

[TCB]

I ran out of one Nicky's cookies on Saturday evening.

[TCB]

Naturally, today that was the only kind of cookie he wanted.

[TCB]

He sat and stared at me for an hour while I was working on the computer.

[TCB]

I couldn't take it any longer, so I got dressed and headed to the store.

[TCB]

Hi, Jane.

[TCB]

One more post.
