Since no one has mentioned it, one of the greatest cast albums ever made - The Most Happy Fella. The only downside of that magnificent complete cast album is it isn't in stereo.

The real list could be longer than War and Peace.

I could have also included:

Little Me
Seesaw
On a Clear Day
Do I Hear a Waltz?
Robert and Elizabeth
Applause
Sweeney Todd
Destry Rides Again
She Loves Me
Silk Stockings

The chance of rain is supposed to increase tonight.

It's really cold here and looks like rain.

I only listed the cast recordings I think have good sound or are ones I particularly love. I think Columbia always had the best sound, and I cannot believe I left out COMPANY, MY FAIR LADY, KISMET, KISS ME KATE, ANYONE CAN WHISTLE, THE SONG OF NORWAY, and THE MOST HAPPY FELLA.

Other Columbia almost-cast or studio cast recordings I love include:
BRIGADOON
CINDERELLA (Julie Andrews)
WONDERFUL TOWN
ON THE TOWN

RCA:
NEW GIRL IN TOWN
TAKE ME ALONG
REDHEAD
HELLO, DOLLY!
FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
SWEENEY TODD
SEVENTEEN
The Lincoln Center recordings of CAROUSEL, KISMET, and ANNIE GET YOUR GUN

Capitol Records sound always ran good and bad:
A FUNNY THING HAPPENED . . .
TENDERLOIN
THE GAY LIFE
THE MUSIC MAN
KISS ME KATE

MGM:
THE THREEPENNY OPERA
SHE LOVES ME possibly the worst sounding cast recording?

DR elmore I am pleased your procedure went well.

We got lucky, no rain or snow today. I think that will change by tomorrow.

Numero Uno! BK sure is hitting up the old chains recently. And I'm enjoying it.

My memory of Numero Uno -- and I could be all wrong on this -- is that they were the first "Chicago style" "pan" or "deep dish" pizza to be really known in L.A., and it seems like their first place was on La Cienega. Actually, the more I type, the less certain I am of these things.

But it was a treat then, even though I didn't follow it up. Oddly, the year I spent in Chicago, I became so enamored of the hot dogs and other foodstuffs that I had almost no pizza at all except when someone would bring some to a party at the apartment complex.

I can enjoy these now, but only on occasion, because now I'm OBSESSED with the thin crust Connecticut style.

Gimme some of that Connecticut pizza. The best.

Jane · « **Reply #72 on:** February 27, 2018, 03:16:38 PM »

I am not a big fan of Chicago style pizza, I do however like Numero Uno's. At least I used to. It has been years since we have eaten there.

I now have an ophthalmology appointment for next week. I am relieved.

Waiting to hear how Vixmom's cardiology appointment went.

Good news from Elmore re his epidural.

Marc Ginsberg didn't win a Robbie for LEVI!? Marc Ginsberg WAS Levi! I can only imagine that he was really, really, really great in THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL.

I see that BK finally mentioned the weather here. It's been freezing! Highs around 54 or 55, with a bit of wind, but for some reason it feels much colder. I pulled out my wool sweaters and other winter clothes.

Jeanne · « **Reply #81 on:** February 27, 2018, 03:27:52 PM »

Feel-better-pronto vibes to TCB!

About time for me to hit the road to JFK to pick up Kristi and Nathan, who had a wonderful time in Savannah. Today they toured the Mercer house, and I'm glad that happened because apparently it isn't always open to the public. But they walked to it and were admiring it, and someone said come on in.

I'll mention the weather. It got up to 54 here today (and it will be in the mid-50s for the next two days), and it feels wonderful!

I've never heard of "Connecticut style." What is it? Just thin crust? Inquiring minds want to know!

That makes the tour extra special.

I don't know about Connecticut pizza outside of New Haven because that is where we went for pizza the year we lived in Connecticut. We kept hearing the pizza was the best there and it was because of the brick ovens. It was more than just that. Some were coal-fired pizza ovens and others were oil-fueled brick ovens. .

Of course the dough, sauce, cheese, and the toppings were all first rate as well.

The pizzas were very flavorful

From the website of possibly the most popular pizza place in New Haven:

"Frank Pepe knew in 1925 that only coal burns hot and dry, and doesn’t give off steam like a wood fire. He knew that only a coal fire could give his “tomato pies” their famous crisp, charred, chewy crust."
