Well, you've read the notes, you are up-to-date and happening with the notes, the notes are up-to-date and happening with you, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home or, at the very least, until The Randy Vicar comes home.

A Very Happy Birthday to DR Barbara Deutsch!

And the only instance where I have EVER heard today's word in use:

"I like your, how you say
Imperturbable Perspicacity

Well, since I have to brush and floss my teeth and get up much earlier than I usually do on weekdays, I'm going to say, "Good night, All!"  So:

"Good night, All!" ;D

Then you obviously haven't conversed with me much, as I try to use it frequently (alright, probably a bit TOO much, but I don't give a hoot! :D).

Well my first question for ASK BK day will be concerning the latest tome - and will be asked with perspicacity:

What is the time frame and setting for this new book.  Is it contemporary?  Is it set in the recent past?  Where is it geographically?

It was my turn this morning to get up with the puppies.  They were hungry, and wanted their kibble.  They are now asleep again, on the beanbag.  I am awake.

Oh, to be young and a dog.

Question for the day, for one and all:

What is your favorite close-harmony vocal group?

My own favorite is the Mamas and the Papas.  They didn't record together for very long, but what they recorded was choice.

According to my mother, I wasn't always fond of harmony.  On a cross-country trip when I was very very little, the family was passing through Salt Lake City, and decided to sight-see at the Mormon Tabernacle.  The family isn't Mormon, but Mom wanted to see the place.  As it would happen, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir was rehearsing just at that moment...and infant that I was I decided to raise my voice to the heavens as well.  Mom and Dad (and sister) were asked to leave.

My singing hasn't improved any.   :-\

Much noise is coming from my room.  The puppies are harmonizing, while mama Peggy lounges on my bed.  It is time for me to retire again.

Good morning, all!  I'm getting quite excited about our March 19 Penny O event, and I have a question for everyone coming into New York that weekend?  What are your plans beyond the show and the BIG PARTAY.  We need to get an estimate as well on how many are showing up to make a reservation for Joe Allen's.

Dear Friend BK, I can't believe you've finished that book!  Congratulations, Speedy. How many days are you going to be in New York?  Right now I'm listening to Mr Haines and Miss Egan singing "Two Lost Souls."  

The McGuire Sisters are from my hometown, and one of them dated my Uncle Bob in high school.  When I was in grade school, they were puhed in our faces as sterling examples of what we could grow up to be, but all that stopped after Phyllis got caught up in the mafia gossip.  I like their singing quite a lot, but I'd pick the Mamas and the Papas as my favorite vocal group, after the great Andrews and Boswell Sisters.

DR ELMORE there was a nice Box Set CD of the Boswells offered by Collectors Choice music a few months ago.  And the King Sisters have their champions as well.

When we saw the McGuires in concert at the local dinner theatre, they were using a pick up band....Phyllis was trying to conduct them behind her back, finally gave up and said:  "Boys, let us just sing this one."  They also took questions on cards from the audience.  The dentist from their hometown was there....they made him stand up, and Phyllis (definitely the leader) introduced him as "the man who put the first hole in my head."

Manhattan Transfer, Manhattan Transfer and Manhattan Transfer. And another vote for Mamas and Papas.

Not yet sure what we're doing around the time of Penny's show. I know Anthony is busy with dance classes and auditions but I will try to see other Hainsie/Kimlets while they are in town. Good news about the performance at Drama Book Shop. It will be fun to see the songs performed live!

I will be at the show and count me in for Joe Allen's.

As for me I will go to Footlights, that other used cd store whose name escapes me at the moment but that dr elmoore told me about and where I went with dr td last summer.

I might go see a show Friday night.

So many possibilities. (A James Lapine reference)
