83 years ago today Cole Porter's musical with Moss Hart, Jubilee, opened on Broadway.  It was a hit until Mary Boland's drinking problems caused her to leave the show and it folded shortly after Laura Hope Crews replaced her.

The show was performed twice during the 1940s at the St Louis Muny before the materials were lost in shipment from St Louis to Manhattan and it became a lost musical.  In 1985 I was hired to reconstruct and orchestrate the show from the rehearsal manuscripts in the Cole Porter Trust.  Here's the overture from my reconstruction:

DR JANE he is so out of touch - he didn't know he was related to his boss!  LOL....I am sure he will tell HER all about it.....I would like to be a fly on the wall.....

My prediction - he won't keep the job and will be gone by the first of the year.  She won't be able to stand it.

DR George, good news about the show!  Congratulations.

Did our DR TCB ever hear anything about his audition?

Thanks, Larry!

And hopefully he'll post something soon!

This morning I have a port flush and then my sister Paula and I are going to the Mooresville Goodwill store....which should be fun.

I had the HEAT on last night for the first time this year....everything seems to be working properly.

This morning, I was in my second floor extra room and noticed that that heater was on.  It's the first time that I noticed that any heater had come on.  I have it set to come on at 55°.  I also realized that my bottom floor heater has not yet come on at all!  What's up with that?  I checked that one and I had actually turned it all the way off!  No wonder it's been so cold up in my third floor bedroom!  I set that thermostat to 60° and will see how it all is.  It's really not worth it to turn the heat up much more because it ALL just goes right up the stairs and out my skylight.  I just want enough heat so that my pipes don't freeze (or my neighbors' again). :P

Frozen pipes is not a good thing.  Do you know about leaving a little dripping water if it get very cold?

Yes, I do know about that.  It hasn't gotten that cold, yet, so I haven't really been worried about it.  It's just that finding the second floor heater on this morning made me think of all that.

Well, it's been OFFICIALLY announced, so I can now announce that I have been cast as Santa in Broadway Olympia Productions' upcoming production of the musical version of A Christmas Story! :D I'll also be in the Ensemble.

Congratulations :)

Have fun.

Thanks, Jane!

Ed Mitchell was the editor of the New York Sun, but I move about, freely, in time from current day and then back to the end of the nineteenth century, both as Mr. Mitchell.  I must be terribly old!

The information they gave me about the laser treatment, mentioned that I would have mild blurry vision for up to 12 hours.  No, I had major blurry vision.  They probably should have told me to bring someone with me to drive me home.  I should not have been driving.  The only way I knew I didn't run over anyone on the way home is that I turned down the radio and listened for a thump thump

If he is smart he won't tell her.  Such a sad situation.

Had a good meeting and walk-through of the theater with our sound designer - he seems very on top of how we can make this work.

Went to Gelson's and got a few things, including some mac-and-cheese.  Came home and had that and a bagel.  I needed a break from the matzoh ball soup.

Otherwise I'm just listening to music - currently playing more music from Joly Braga Santos - he's like the two faces of Eve - his first period is great, up through the 1950s - tonal, beautiful, and just wonderful music - haven't heard a bum piece yet.  Then sometime in the 60s he has a complete change of style and becomes strident and atonal with nary a trace of his other face.  I find the latter interesting on certain levels, but obviously I prefer his earlier stuff, which is stunning.
