Rehearsal in thirty minutes.

Listened to the Kostelanetz cover of Flower Drum Song - it's great. Never on CD, unless I missed it. Mono on Columbia. And now listening to Melachrino do Bells Are Ringing, which is equally as good.

THE CHORUS, a French film from France, as BK might say. Has anyone here seen it? It's a wonderful film, very moving. Lovely soundtrack, too.

I am home from the doctor and down to 200 lbs. People keep telling me I've lost weight but I don't see it.

Congrats.

I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it.

Good morning, good day, how are you this wonderful day, which has yet to be wonderful? I got seven hours of sleep - very noisy morning with dinging texts, noisy workers next door, and phone ringing. I was up at eleven, answering e-mails, and listening to Diana Canova read a bit of GEE, which was fun. I think it's going to come down to her and one other gal, who's much younger. I may ask that younger gal to read some of the ninety year old GEE, just a page to see how she deals with it - Diana could do that without a problem, but her younger GEE and Peyton aren't quite right but she's so good I'm sure if we chat she'd just be fine. But I have no idea if she'd do it on a royalty share of if she'd do it for the 50 an hour that's on the table should they not want royalty share.

Are you having one person read the whole book? Have you thought about having two people read it? One for each of the two women, even though it's not in the first person? Just a thought.

And now, I need to leave work and go home.

Be back later.

John G. · « **Reply #109 on:** May 20, 2019, 07:21:38 PM »

Back to Vincent and Theo. Very moody. Tim Roth is excellent as Vincent. Paul Rhys is very good as Theo.

Thanks, George, for reminding me about Best Foot Forward. Buckle down, Winsocki, buckle down.

Has anyone read The Tale of Genji, said to be the first novel ever written? It's more than 1,000 pages. I'm curious about it, but that is an investment of time.

Almost finished with Vincent and Theo. A few facts were played with, if one is to believe the stories from the exhibition. But there is one scene that was just amazing of Vincent painting a canvas. There's such excitement in his efforts to capture what he's feeling that even the paint can be seen running off his palette.

Congratulations, Washingtonians! You apparently live in the best state in the union.

Had a good rehearsal, and then did stuff on the computer, including writing some specialty lyrics for one song in the show. I came up with a funny way to do an old chestnut.

I haven't had any other food tonight.

bk · « **Reply #117 on:** May 20, 2019, 10:24:19 PM »

I haven't listened to music, either, because I've been working these specialty lyrics.

I haven't and I am not sure I want to. It would be interesting to read some of it to get a feel for the writing.
