I've seen Manhattan Transfer twice, both thoroughly enjoyable.  The first time was at the Puyallup Fair, during a rather heavy rain.  Didn't slow them down a bit!  Still did a full concert, skipping over intermission so as not to make the audience sit in the rain any longer than the music lasted.  Fabulous performers.

Pancho Sanchez got the crowd moving in their seats like you wouldn't believe when I saw him.  Diane Schuur was delightful.  Dave Brubeck hasn't slowed down much at all over the years, and it's pretty hard to beat hearing him play "Take Five" live!

In regards to the earlier Neil Diamond comments...

My favorite thoughts on his concerts come from Jack Black.  "Don't let anybody tell you that Neil Diamond doesn't rock!  You may have to drag somebody to his concert kicking and screaming, but by the time it's over, they'll be genuflecting at the altar of Diamond!"

Speaking of Fannys (rimshot please).....

A lady who is as much a Frances Dee fanatic as I am a Frances Farmer fanatic (is that possible?) passed on this little tidbit:  Frances Dee has a cameo in Come and Get It.  She was on-set one day visiting hubby Joel McCrea and Howard Hawks told her to suit up as an extra.  Now the question all these years (evidently, according to this lady) is where exactly she appears.  I just watched the new MGM/UA DVD re-release of this (and true to form, they botched it, but that's another story) and I believe we see a snippet of Frances Dee in a scene about 3/4 of the way through.  Farmer, Arnold, Brennan and Christians enter an elegant restaurant, and the camera tracks alongside them as they walk through the crowd.  As they approach their table a woman on screen right looks back at them over her shoulder and I think that's Frances Dee.

Back to your regularly scheduled posting.....

I've been to quite a few concerts in my day. Jason Graae, Michael Feinstein, Davis Gaines, Michael Buble, and a rock concert we went to by accident when we wanted to see the blue men.

I have always wanted to see him.. Since he's a local boy his concerts sellout immediately and it is impossible to get tickets unless you are willing to part with a limb or two

Apparently, you should not go anywhere near him when he is driving on Long Island unless you are willing to part with a limb or two.

Sorry. Had to do it.

Perhaps you are referencing the great Mick McCleery, who alas, is not me. Although I have a good bit of Irish in me, my name is more liable to be associated with the Krauts.

And since I've been catching up on the notes, there were a few things that stuck in my head.

DR Jay, was it?, or somebody else mentioned he would like to see Jerry Orbach as Mr. Mister in The Cradle Will Rock.  My first exposure to the show was on a complete recording done many years ago with Orbach as Larry Foreman.  I don't think I've ever seen it on CD, only the Patti Lupone version

DR vixmom had the temerity to quote "Jabberwocky" in the Hebrew translation without once mentioning the definitive (there are three I know of) Esperanto version.  A simple search on "Jabervokado" came up with 124 references.  Viz.

Jabervokado

Lewis Carroll
tradukita deWilliam F. Orr

Je brolgo, la shlikesblaj tovoj
Giris en geal' kaj bornis;
Mimziaj estis la borgovoj
Kaj la dejma vork' elgornis.


"Atentu, fil', la Jabervokon--
Dentmordanton, ungtenanton!
Kaj la Jubjub-birdon, kaj
Frumjozan Bancprenanton!"

Li prenis la vorpalan glavon,
Manksan malamikon chasis--
Sub Totoa arb' starante,
Li sin pensadlasis.

Kaj dum la knab' ufeme pensis,
Flamokula Jabervoko
Trablufiblis la arbaron,
Blurbis al la loko!

Unu! Kaj du! Kaj tiel plu!
Shnikshnakis la vorpala klingo!
Li regalumfis kun la kap',
Kun glavo en glavingo.

"Do patren venu, fil' brilmanta!
Jabervokon vi detruis!
Tago frabla! Fil' kapabla!
Ghoje li chortuis.

Je brolgo, la shlikesblaj tovoj
Giris en geal' kaj bornis;
Mimziaj estis la borgovoj
Kaj la dejma vork' elgornis.

Well, I tried.  Now you know why I never win the HHW trivia contests.  Actually, I did win one a long time ago and I am still waiting for my sparkling prize!!!!  (Hint, hint, nudge, nudge, say n'more).

I saw both Leonard Bernstein and Van Cliburn in concert (separately). Also saw Eugene Ormindy on New Year's Eve at Carnegie Hall. I remember Bernstein have a movie star aura about him, and lots of older women in the audience swooning for him.
And, as is so often the case, he wasn't swooning back.

Hoo and Ray, my nephew Jeffrey (son of DR Jane's Fedex man) has now returned to the United States from his tour in Iraq (He just landed in Fort Lewis, Washington). I hope he never has to go back. They lost 8 men and women from his National Guard unit over this last summer....thankfully he is OK, and all in one piece.

Oh, MBarnum, have you not been paying attention?     ;)JetBlue is coming to PDX in a month or two, plus they are having a $99 fare sale to all their destinations!!
The connection for the Los Angeles Area for Jet Blue is probably Long Beach, but it's a nicer airport than Burbank, IMO.  BK should be able to confirm this, IHO (in his opinion).

Today was "meat loaf Thursday" at the local art museum restaurant.  Just wonderful!

And the piano/bass players were doing jazzy/bluesy arrangements of Gershwin...mostly from "Porgy and Bess."

Quite a pleasant lunch.
