I like my Bosch dishwasher. It has one of those skinny trays at the top for knives & other flat items. It took a few times for me to remember it was there to use & to empty.

DITTO!

Is there an echo in the house??

No Scarlett Strallen or Hugh Panero. Alli Mauzey, a former Glinda, and Gary Mauerare singing. Both good, Debbie Gravitte better.

I paid all of $10for a ticket in the center of row E. But there’s a good crowd.

$700 poorer but a new washer is coming in a week.

What did you get?

An Amana. Same as the last one, which lasted 20 years.

Hopefully this one will as well

Well, the concert was interesting. The audience loved the Lloyd Webber, which I thought sounded a mush when orchestrated for a full symphony. The added strings just sounded like noise. Only the percussion and brass showed well.

Mauer did a crowd-pleasing version of Music of the Night, which had the audience on its feet. The finale was from the Philharmonic's My Favorite Leading Ladies show with Julie Andrews. Mauer sang "Love Changes Everything," Mauzey sang "Unexpected Song" and then Debbie sang "I Don't Know How to Love Him" before they all sang together.

I'm back at home. Much work to be done. None of it tonight.

I'm chilling to an oddity, Fritz Lang's The Tiger of Eschnapur. This may be the first color film of Lang's that I remember seeing. It's filmed in India and stars Debra Paget speaking in German. There's a sequel in the set called The Indian Tomb.

I really like that trio.

Well, I'm burning another homemade Blu-ray!

Last year, PBS showed a one-hour special, The International Jazz Day Global All-Star Concert from St Petersburg, Russia, originally recorded in 2018.

George · « **Reply #104 on:** January 18, 2020, 09:08:44 PM »

I recorded it mainly because The Manhattan Transfer performed on it...even though they performed only one song.

George · « **Reply #105 on:** January 18, 2020, 09:09:15 PM »

But, I found out that PBS only showed about half the concert!

George · « **Reply #106 on:** January 18, 2020, 09:09:29 PM »

What's that all about??

George · « **Reply #107 on:** January 18, 2020, 09:10:36 PM »

At some point, I wondered if any of it was on YouTube, and it turns out that the whole 2-hour concert was on YouTube!

George · « **Reply #108 on:** January 18, 2020, 09:10:58 PM »

The Manhattan still only performed their one song, but still, it's the whole concert!

Anyway, I was able to download the whole video and I am now burning it onto a Blu-ray disc.

Here's an article about the concert...Letter From Saint Petersburg. "In 2018, International Jazz Day brings the beyond-politics cultural diplomacy of the U.N. to Russia."

Ms. Paget is displaying her skills in an extended musical number that had to be cut to pass the Hays Code. She's at the based of a gargantuan fertility goddess wearing little but beads with a giant red stone strategically placed over her golden bikini bottom. A few pelvic thrusts, a few shimmies and, well, her audience is ready to do anything she wants. Captivating.

Earlier today, I upgraded my Edge browser to the new Microsoft Edge Chromium, based on Google's Chrome.

George · « **Reply #115 on:** January 18, 2020, 09:45:14 PM »

I've been using it today and so far I like it.

I probably won't make it my default browser, but it's nice to have another browser that I like.

Had a good run-through today - some calling for lines but not too bad.
