DR TCB, 26 years!  How wonderful for you.

It certainly is!!!

[Ginny]

DR Elmore, I'm glad 1) you're being careful with all those meds and 2) you're enjoying the country music series as much as we are.  I commented to Richard last night that I'm glad we visited Nashville and toured Ryman Auditorium before watching it.

[Jrand74]

Ugh.....they have taken off two of my regular morning programs....Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and Maury and added two "life coach" harpie shows......Tamron Hall and Mel Somebody Or Other......

So now I just watch a sci fi movie on Comet TV.

[Jrand74]

I also had to switch back to the annoying local FOX 59 news show because the CBS This Morning show was SO BAD.

[Ginny]

So, I have a day at home until about 4:30 when we'll go over to the library where my career began for this fall's first national parks lecture by Dr. Gerke, the geology professor.  We've really enjoyed her presentations and I have a little gift for her to show our appreciation.  From there, Richard will go to church in Dayton and I'll go to a genealogy society meeting at the retirement community where my mother lived.  I'll have to catch tonight's country music episode on the 10pm rebroadcast when I get home.

I kept wishing my hillbilly dad were here to watch it with me.  He used to sing fragments of so many songs they're playing on the soundtrack.

I love CBS This Morning.  what was so bad?

Today would have been John McGlinn's 66th birthday. This year is the tenth anniversary of his death. Because he was such an important person in my life and career, I think of him, not always fondly - as you know - but often.

I particularly miss the early years, before his demons took over, when working with him was fun, and I still remember fondly the Book-of-the-Month Club "Songs of New York," the three Kern musicals at Carnegie Recital Hall, the "Babes In Arms" and "Primrose/Pardon My English" at the Library of Congress, and the madness involved in recording the epic "Show Boat."

If you can, take a moment and play your favorite track he recorded. Mine remains "Barney O'Flynn" from "Babes In Toyland."

I am not going in to City Center until Monday, but I have two numbers to work on here.  Joshie has commitments today, tomorrow I have physical therapy, and his parents are coming into town on Friday.

13 years George.  It seems like yesterday.

I can barely remember yesterday, so sure...it does seem like yesterday!

[Jane]

Congrats to former DR Jed.

[Jane]

TCB I wish you had also been nominated.

[Jane]

What 850-page tome are you reading, Jane?

Deep River by Karl Marlantes. It begins in Finland amd moves to Washington near the Columbian River.

[Jane]

And finally - ta da! - my doctor sent a prescription for tramadol to my pharmacy, so I will pick that up and see if it helps.

Fingers crossed.

[ChasSmith]

Good morning, all.

[ChasSmith]

So many favorite tracks of John McGlinn.

[Michael]

ASK BK

Have you considered combining the songs from Love Life from the Kurt Weil and Alan Jay Lerner Revisited albums and releasing it as a separated cast album?

[FJL]

DR TCB congratulations on your 26th anniversary.  I think it is wonderful.

Congrats from us in Midtown Manhattan, too!

[FJL]

Larry, were John McGlinn's demons from within or were they caused by things others did?

[elmore3003]

Larry, were John McGlinn's demons from within or were they caused by things others did

All of the above.  There was much family dysfunction - his older sister was a total bitch and caused a lot of damage - and John never related well socially to others.  I'm not sure what contributed to his dishonesty and petty criminality, but he compensated for his personal insecurities by maintaining a superior attitude. I always said if he sued his shrink for malpractice, we'd all be witnesses for his winning the case.

I did my own home version of those songs, plus a few from other shows. Ben’s work on Love Life is very good.

It's taking all my will power and restraint to not put Stella into a carrier and cart her back to the Animal Care Center on East 110th Street.  I went to the pharmacy and picked up the prescription for Tramadol.  When I got home, I took the paper bag with the prescription from my pocket, tossed it onto the bed, and logged onto the computer.  About 30 minutes ago, I decided to lie down on a heating pad, and I noticed all these scraps of paper.  I fund the bag torn to shreds, but I cannot find the bottle of pills!  I've looked all over the area and I have no idea where she's tossed it.  I am very angry with her but more angry with myself.  I should know better by now.

[Jrand74]

ARGH......it gotta be someplace DR ELMORE....but where?

I just don't find the guests on CBS This Morning compelling or interesting and they all seem to follow a pattern....and Gayle King is certainly NOT a favorite of mine either.....I hate being lectured and talked down to every single morning of my life....so Goodbye...to CBS.....This.....Morning.....every morning.  I could just about take it when I was waiting for Millionaire to come on....but for Tamron Hall....no thanks.

[elmore3003]

ARGH......it gotta be someplace DR ELMORE....but where?

I'm probably looking too hard for it.  It will turn up when and where I least expect, I think.  Maybe tomorrow. 

It's just so irritating.

I'm up, I'm up - six hours of sleep, helper has come and gone and has all the Indiegogo stuff and list and she hopes to get everything that CAN go out out by Friday - Henry King is coming on Monday.  So, good news. 

[Jane]

Try using a flashlight while you look.  They could have rolled anywhere.  Do you have a safety cap on the bottle?  I never have them.  My fear is that the bottle cap came off.  Vibes you find them soon for both you and the cats.

I have the MP3s of Songs of New York on one of my flash drives here at work.  I've been listening to it.

That would be cool!

I was using a flashlight.  If the bottle cap came off, there would be spilled pills to follow.

Safety cap? How the hell do I know.   I hadn't opened the bag yet.
