Off to Fredericksburg later for Rambling Rose’,

Love that word and name for the event!


We kept having to write the word out as "rose-ay" in sheet music and script when doing this piece.

"Ro - sé" was not cutting it for singers otherwise.

Ha! That’s funny. I can use that later today. What was the actual lyric, if I may ask?

The lyric is (it's not a parody project)
"Most moms help out without rose-ay.
Most Dads help out and they don't run away."

but after two times of people singing "Most Moms help out without Rose."

it was "So who is Rose?"

 sort of like in GYPSY rehearsals Jerome Robbins apparently asking Sondheim "Everything's coming up Rose's what?""

Word has it Sondheim told Robbins if anyone else has that problem besides you, then we'll change it.  :)

I wonder if Larry knows whether that really happened, or just a theater urban legend.

Patrol was of very short duration. It was, I believe, our shortest.  We entered the elevator, got off on the first floor, sat down on the lobby steps, and Annabelle walked back to the elevator, insisting she wanted to go home.

I need to go to Broadway Farms at some point today or tomorrow in search of almond butter, which has become my new obsession.  I want to pull more books over the weekend so DR ChasSmith and I can plan a visit.

I do not know. I only know Gertrude Lawrence's question about Ira's "I could wait for years / Till it appears."  Four? Why not ten or twenty?

The Robbins remark and Mr. Sondheim's reply was reported in a book I read about the creation of GYPSY.....but I don't think a source was cited....although Mr. Styne was also said to be present.

Wonderful! 

That could go along with the words "How a part of me she's grown" on Maltby's lyric "Look Who's Alone Now" which (I must believe) must have slipped Maltby's mind that he should change that  before it got recorded. 

begs the question: what part of him has she grown?

And in a way like the lady who saw the sign at a Stoppard play that "Gunshots will be heard at this performance" and asked why only THIS performance.  {Wondering what she followed of the Stoppard work.}

My internet connection was flaky last night and I feared it would require a visit from Spectrum and a new modem (four days wait?), but I persisted and was able to get it up and running again. Ta Da!

and they made sure as part of every day that she got plenty of well-supervised exercise specifically to replace what walking would have done for her - for arms, torso, legs, just not upsetting the pelvis area which needed to repair "on its own" like a broken rib would need

I'm impressed.

Our new neighbor is moving in today, next door to me, where the Noisy Neighbors used to reside. We HOPE he's quiet! After what we went through a few years ago I expect we'll all be quite VOCAL ourselves if he isn't.

Yesterday, Rob Berman sent me a ftwo tracks from The New Yorkers recording, which is now being mixed.  It's sounding good!

Cool!

Waiting for the NYC Animal Concentration Camp to finish up their butchering today.  so far, two dogs have been murdered, but there are at least six more dogs condemned today, and I don't know yet who will live today and be relisted tomorrow for murder on Tuesday. This organization needs reorganization and new leaders, and it's the main reason why I will never support shitty Mayor de Blasio;'s run for president.
