Well, you've read the notes, the notes laid low, and now it is time for you to post until the laying low cows come home.

Well, I need to get to sleep. It's been a long day and between working to build up extra hours for work and the added A Christmas Story rehearsals, I literally won't get a day off between now and December 25!

TOD

I was visiting my grandmother in Carlyle PA. I had traveled there from Long Island by myself on a Greyhound bus

I was 12

She had a tiny black and white portable TV with rabbit ears that she kept in the closet. She took it out and set it up on a folding tray table in her bedroom and we sat on kitchen chairs and held hands and our breaths as we watched that historic moment

I keep thinking what an amazing period of technological advancement my grandparents experienced

vixmom · « **Reply #13 on:** December 04, 2018, 03:21:51 AM »

All of them were born before automobiles were commonplace , before airplanes existed. 2 of them didn't have indoor plumbing until they were adults

vixmom · « **Reply #14 on:** December 04, 2018, 03:23:26 AM »

They didn't have phones. Heck, they didn't have electricity in their homes.

vixmom · « **Reply #15 on:** December 04, 2018, 03:23:57 AM »

TV didn't show up until they were adults with children of their own

And from the joyous to the tragic, back to my miserable existence. It continues to suck.

T.O.D.

I have no idea.

T.O.D. (2)

On the other hand, I do recall where I was when I heard that President Kennedy was shot and the Space Challenger exploded....

Good morning, all.

I was at the Meadowbrook School of Music in Rochester, Michigan, where, as I recall it, the only televisions available to us were the ones in the downstairs lobbies/community rooms of the dorms. I think it was a color TV. It was a Sunday afternoon and I don’t know what else I might have been involved in that day, but I spent some time there watching and I remember how quiet and attentive everyone was.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #25 on:** December 04, 2018, 05:36:30 AM »

Been playing through the Hello, Dolly! transpositions book. Oy!

I grew up with Channing’s keys, and they are in my blood. As far as listening to everyone else singing it, I learned long ago to just turn my senses off to the new keys and modulations and just go with it and enjoy. But sitting down and playing them? It’s almost like reading new music.

The book looks fine to the eye, but the body is rejecting the donor notes. And beyond simply having to relearn some of this, a greater appreciation than ever has grown for the likes of Robert H. Noeltner, who not only gave most of it to you, but in a way that still made it happen really well at the piano.

Another note of appreciation for BK’s invaluable revival recording, which I think beautifully captures Channing again (against all odds — must reread that) and preserves the entire “Dancing” music and the main guts of the “Waiters Galop”.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #27 on:** December 04, 2018, 05:46:13 AM »

Anyway, that’s what I’m on today and I play it this evening, so I’m outta here for now and I’ll be back later tonight.

Congrats DR Vixmom. I am so happy for you. Best of luck on this new endeavor.

I am drying to know what your boss said. I wonder if he has realized yet how screwed he is.

I really hope that this new job will really be 9-5. Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!
