Well, you've read the notes, the notes were musical and bad, and now it is time for you to post until the bad musical cows come home.

First post after BK!

That's too bad about the show, BK. I have the Berlin cast recording and really like it. I was in choirs starting in seventh grade through five years of college, so I really enjoyed the choral work in the score. I liked the English language studio recording, but not as much as the German CD.

Of course, I haven't seen the stage show, so I have no idea how I'd feel about that.

And now, I'm off to bed.

Have a good day, all!

ASK BK

Are you familiar with the music revue Dawgs that uses the Sherman Bros songs? I think it was done in LA around the time Cats first opened stateside and there was a cast album produced.

Would you consider re-releasing it?

I've finished my How to Succeed . . . work here, and some more will arrive today. I have Act Two of Me and My Girl to get to.

DR FJL, our tax authority, what's going on with New York State refunds? Are they understaffed? Dragging their heels?

Well, I must clean this dump. Two rambunctious cats have left the bathroom a complete mess: water bowl overturned leaving a wet rug, shampoo and other bottles thrown into the tub, and the toilet seat 3/4 off the toilet. I don't know how they do it, but I think I need to buy a new toilet seat. The rest of the apartment shows the same messiness on a smaller scale since the space is much larger than the bathroom.

Austin police seem to have found a bombing suspect, who blew himself up rather than be apprehended.

Why do I think this story isn’t done yet?

Today, work on The Addams Family — specifically, being able to play Act 2 decently (yesterday was just Act 1), then getting comfortable with the multitude of keyboard patch changes.

I sent an email to my goddaughter Emily asking her to read it to Pam if there was the possibility that we would not get a chance to speak on the phone. Emily wrote me this morning.
I was able to read your email to my mom and she reminisced and smiled. Hospice stepped in to help on Monday and she is sleeping peacefully for the most part. She is ready.

It's a very good morning in Austin.

The police got the serial bomber last night.

He blew himself up.

I remember seeing Disney's animated THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME years ago and not being too impressed with it.

I did not know they had turned it into a stage musical. However, if they can make money with it "out-of-town," why not?

Years ago, I recall my clients, lyricist Paul Francis Webster and composer Sammy Fain, did something similar with a stage version of CALAMITY JANE, which had won them a "Best Song" Oscar for "Secret Love". When the show was adapted to the stage, they made a decision NOT to take the play to Broadway. They were doing great with it in regional and summer stock theaters and, according to Webster, if it had played New York and received bad reviews, that would have killed it.

Later, I believe, it was done as a television special with Carol Burnett.

I think I lost two or three IQ points yesterday. I don't really have many to spare.

Off for more fun and adventures!

DR Ginny, did Rob and Mary Linda get to Cincinnati?

I stepped out to post a letter, and the amount of snow since 7:30 this morning when a few flakes were falling is amazing.
