I’m sure I’ll remember more as the day goes on.

Bright Star
Giant
Loving Repeating

Elmore’s studio recordings of Eileen, Roberta and Dearest Enemy.


I'd go with these:

To answer from yesterday:  Tom, I like El Sarape's food. :)

I just realized that I didn't read your question correctly.  To answer:  El Sarape has terrible Chinese food...but their Mexican is pretty good.

;)

I so love that even in the very rare case that DR George says something negative, he still ends the sentence with something good to say.

I wish I could think of doing that more often

Fred, I took Tom's original post from the night before, asking "Does El Sarape have good Chinese food?" as a joke.  It's a local PNW chain Mexican restaurant and doesn't serve ANY Chinese food! :)) 

We had a Wong and Pedro's fast food place in Payson for a while.

I remember telling the story here about getting kicked out of the Chinese restaurant after ordering pizza.

DR Elmoore

I was listening to McGlinn's Babes In Toyland on Youtube. Where did that person get the recording and wondering if it's properly mixed? It was hard for me to tell. Was there anything missing from what was recorded? There are notes and the lyrics so someone made an effort to put it out there.

Is this the one listed by "Sir Parsifal"?  I have no idea who this person may be but he's in violation of copyright since the recording belongs to the Packard Humanities Institute.  There have been bootleg copies since 2001, some distributed by McGlinn's agent at the time, selling online.

Cats let me sleep late again today.  This nice little run isn't going to last, I know that.  But the housemates have been away (they're loving their little vacation in Savannah) so no one's getting up at the usual earliest hours and getting them going as a result.  One more day of grace, probably, then I'm sure things will be back to normal on Wednesday.

While I'm thinking about it, how is the Sutton Foster / Joel Grey one?

The Sutton Foster version is kinda boring. A little too vocally generic.

I keep forgetting how old recordings are. I thought Fonian’s was more than 10 years ago. I did like Catch Me If You Can better on album than in the theater. I liked the score for Women on the Verge, but the sound could be better.

Annabelle wanted to step out  with me when I tossed the litter, so I let her.  I could hear a lot of noise coming from above with the elevator crew.  she ran up to the fourth floor and I followed.  I found her at the door to 4C, trying to get in.  Just then the elevator doors opened and there were 3-5 elevator men in eye protection goggles and hard hats wuth welding equipment, grinders, solders, whatever, with sparks and loud grinding noises flying everywhere.

She went to pieces, desperately trying to get into 4C, throwing herself at the door.  I picked her up and she climbed out of my grasp to the top of my shoulders.  As soon as they finished on four, the doors closed, and I headed for the stairs.  When we reached the third floor, I could hear the doors open on three and there was more of the same.  She panicked again.  As soon as the doors closed, I carried her inside.

I was holding my breath as I read that.  So glad she's back in the safety of her home!

Monday morning greetings!  I'm kind of like Annabelle today - I want to go out.  I haven't ventured out much alone since being panhandled inside a bookstore several weeks ago.  Seems to be a lot of shady behavior being reported in shopping centers, especially those near major highways.  Anyway, today I'm going to the post office in Franklin and a branch library in the Dayton 'burbs.  I may get real brave and visit a new Starbucks along the way.

I hope my excursion isn't as terrifying as Annabelle's...

Change of plans:  Richard wants to go along and take me to late lunch/early dinner at one of our favorite delis in Springboro.  I'll take it!

I'm up, I'm up - have been up for an hour - six hours of sleep.  Spectrum went down at twelve-fifteen last night and was down for at least two or three hours - system maintenance - be nice if they'd actually alert folks to that.

I do, too. That exuberance doesn’t carry over to the recording, IMO.
