Surprisingly, I've been able to keep busy during these difficult days.

I finished re-formatting the 4 older books that I am switching over to Amazon, and they are now available for purchase there...at a lower price than before.

I'm working with 2 voice actors on audio editions of 2 plays in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS Collection.

I just got a proof to correct of 1 or 2 books that BearManor will be releasing this year.

And, when all that is done, I have a new play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS series that I want to start writing.

[Jane]

DR George, YAY for all of your packages arriving.

[Jane]

Is anyone watching this PBS series World On Fire?

No.  Is it good?

[Jane]

I am back from market.  Key Foods is only allowing a certain number of people at a time and they give you ten minutes to get in and get out.  I got all I needed and hobbled out to the street to catch a taxi home.  I lost my balance and nearly fell, but i didn't.  I would have ended up in a puddle.  It took a while to find a cab, but I got home and Jeff, the super, helped me into the building.

I would think they would give people with disabilities a few more minutes.  I am glad you got everything you need, and that you did not fall into a puddle.

I had my appointment for communion this morning. Seven of us in masks spread around a few pews. No music. No bulletin. No sermon. Tape on the floor marked the appropriate distance to keep from each other. Plastic, disposable cups held the bread and wine. Somehow there was a spirit of togetherness.

BK:  Nice song in the notes!

This sounds like the safest possible way to do this.

[Jane]

I just unpacked all of the individual WetOnes I had packed for our trip to Chicago.  We use them on the plane & wipe down the hotel rooms.

Today’s Weill includes The Firebrand of Florence and the Maria Friedman Lady in the Dark.  The singers on both could be better.

[John G.]

A few fires this morning but less this afternoon. Yay.

The Firebrand of Florence recording casting is terrible and the score is so good.  One man's death is another man's living.

I do like George Dvorsky. But he doesn’t have enough to do.

[John G.]

What do you know of the label Capreccio? It was the same that released Weill’s Lindberghflug and Tge Tsar Gets His Photograph Taken. 

[elmore3003]

Well, it took a while to locate the Babes In Toyland scripts.  There are two stacks of storage boxes, each stack about six boxes high, and of course they were in the bottom storage carton in the second stack.  I also had to move books,, souvenir programs, playbills, and the cartons of things going to Miami University to reach the two big stacks.

Completely miscast.  The role was created by Melville Cooper, and should have been cast by a comic actor of indeterminate age who's good at playing foggy old men, like Paul Ford or BK.

I’ve gone from bad to worse. Probably the worst recording of all, the OBC of LoveMusik.

I know next to nothing.  I believe they committed to recording all of Weill's stage scores.  I love their Happy End recording and the Mahagonny isn't bad, although I prefer Lenya's recording for Columbia.

You know what's really funny about that show? Tunick orchestrated it and he detests Weill's orchestrations.

I can tell. It doesn’t sound very Weill. Or well.

I'm up, I'm up - almost eight hours of sleep.

Food will be here in ninety minutes.  I'm hoping it's prepared the way I asked - extra crispy for the orange chicken, because I finally remembered that I got takeout from this place a few months ago and asked for extra crispy and it was not only NOT that, it was mooshy and inedible.  We shall see, but in the instructions on Grubhub I put that it was VERY important.

[bk]

Question: I'm uploading it to YouTube - very slow going - ninety more minutes - but is Vimeo a better option?  They only allow 5GB but I now have that version, too.

[John G.]

I don’t know Vimeo.

[bk]

The second I posted about this on Facebook that I was gonna put up something I directed privately for two days, one Equity-zealot gal I work with contacted me immediately and said Equity was making great deals for streaming stuff and I had to contact them if there were any Equity actors in it.  I took down the post and said I was not about to go through Equity.  First off, our leading man was paid a huge amount of money for the taping, paid personally  by Larry Cohen and we didn't go through Equity to do that and the leading man could get in trouble.  So, trying to do something nice and positive naturally isn't working.  So, I'll only make it available here and it cannot be shared with anyone and I know you folks will honor that. 

[bk]

Having watched some of it again, I forgot how really beautiful the production was.  And I have to say that the direction is pretty good

[bk]

I have, just for grins, dropped Equity a line - no mentions of what the show is or who the actor is - just to see what they're doing over there.

[bk]

I already heard back - they don't know WHAT they're doing with my kind of request so they're looking at all this and will get back to me.

I am glad you located them.

[ChasSmith]

Sad to admit, but I know very little about Babes in Toyland. That will be rectified.

In the meantime, when my friend recently unloaded those scores & etc., this was there so I grabbed it.
I love where he bought it. 

[ChasSmith]

Sorry, that thing is huge on my screen, and I've reduced it three times.

Which you can tell by the fuzzy resolution.
