Today, I'm going to my sister's to put together the benches that go with the picnic table that I put together for her last week.

After that, I'm ushering at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts for Debbi's Dance Presents Dance Spectacular 2018.

They want 20 ushers, and I was just the sixth to sign up. $:-\$

Volunteers for the last couple of weeks have been quite light. I can only guess that it's because it's the end of the season and people are doing other things.

Melissa Etheridge is coming to the WCPA next month! She was a last minute add-on. Volunteers will be scheduled based on how much they've volunteered over the last couple of months, so because I was in Cinder Edna, I probably won't be offered an usher or concessions slot. But, maybe so few people volunteered that I might make the cut. I'll find out soon enough.

And now, to bed.

Have a good day, all!

Perhaps I should go to sleep.

T.O.D.

Not quite sure what you mean with today's question, but if you're asking about my favorite songs while I was growing up:

THE THING (Phil Harris)
THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS (Ray Walston)
THUNDER ROAD (Robert Mitchum)
THE WAYWARD WIND (Gogi Grant)

Not quite Sinatra, Crosby or Elvis, but I did memorize those songs and, for the most part, still remember the words.

Vixbeau is perfect 😊

A nice night for sleeping, but damn if I didn't wake up at 3:30 with one annoying dream, to be followed early in the actual morning by another even more annoying and dreadful dream. I don't even know what the first one was, but the second was another in my famous series of job dreams based on various and sundry former bosses and co-workers and duties and such. And it's so hard to shake those when I wake up. It's like, REAL, man.

I fed the babies and went back to bed.

DR Vixmom, how is Steve feeling?

I'm remembering very few dreams these days, but last night was a curious one. I was in a hospital, waiting on my doctor to perform surgery on my lower back. The hospital was packed, so the surgery was to be done on a helicopter flying at a level of 300 feet. The surgeon was the child psychologist I saw between 1959-1962, and hundreds of yellow tulips sprang up from the the ground under the air space where the surgery was performed.

I have no idea if the surgery was successful.

I nearly branched out into this in my post about The Swingle Singers yesterday.

I discovered Gershwin in 5th grade via the symphonic pieces, Porgy and Bess shortly thereafter, and he is forever honored as my first true musical obsession. Almost concurrent with Porgy, South Pacific opened my eyes to the world of musicals. The gatefold cast album, an edition I still love, got played TO DEATH. That led to more Rodgers and Hammerstein, and then The Music Man rocked the boat in a major way. Li'l Abner and Finian's Rainbow worked their way in there, and finally came the mother lode, West Side Story.

During this time (this is all junior high and high school) I opened myself to popular music on the radio, basking in the glories of WQAM, Miami's "Tiger Radio", 560 on the AM dial, with Rick Shaw, a top notch DJ revered today. I could probably only name a handful of favorite songs from then, but I loved it all.

The Swingle Singers exploded onto my scene with that first album and the Bourree, and I freely correlate the joy of that with my senior year introduction to Arthur Loesser and his uniquely incredible way with Bach on the piano. Brubeck's Take Five was a revelation. Gilbert and Sullivan entered my life via the Kenny Baker movie of The Mikado and the Groucho Marx presentation on the Bell Telephone Hour, both seen on B&W TV. Once I discovered the lush stereo series of D'Oyly Carte recordings, I was hooked. In the summer immediately following high school, a friend of a friend brought the forces of Gustav Mahler and Carl Orff into my life, capping this period and propelling me on to the world of college and beyond.

Last night I read a Lillian Jackson Braun mystery story "The Sin of Madame Phloi," which reminded me a lot of Bram Stoker's story "The Squaw." Then the cats and I watched "The Great British Baking Show."

Today and tomorrow are How to Succeed . . . days. I must deal with my finances. I hope there's a Music Theatre International check in the works.

Why am I up three hours after falling asleep? Well, I think all that disagreeable food has something to do with it. I'll go back to bed in a bit.

ChasSmith's wonderful post about musical obsession is exactly what I was looking for.

Saturday morning greetings! Today I must clean up my Momcave.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #55 on:** June 23, 2018, 08:38:18 AM »

I'm getting smarter in my old age: I took the vacuum toi the basement to empty it. The last time I tried this, I ended up with crud all over the apartment and I had to mop the floors.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #56 on:** June 23, 2018, 08:51:03 AM »

Today I shall read the new R/H book SOMETHING WONDERFUL.

Tomorrow I start my prep for my Monday procedure.

They are closing the ONLY road into the town where the theatre is, so starting Tuesday I will have to go five miles OUT of my way to get there....and back.....10 miles a day....40 or 50 miles a week.....

ChasSmith · « **Reply #57 on:** June 23, 2018, 09:30:16 AM »

Given the configuration of basically two "main" roads leading to my house, if one is closed for any reason (which was happening a lot a few weeks ago), the other way around is at least a 3-mile circuit... when you might literally be but "feet" away from my driveway.

John G. · « **Reply #58 on:** June 23, 2018, 10:29:06 AM »

Good afternoon, all.

John G. · « **Reply #59 on:** June 23, 2018, 10:30:56 AM »

George, ushers get to sit, except the two by the stage. I could have left the theater during the movie to sit down outside. But I chose to watch the movie.

So it’s my fault/choice.
