Oh, I meant to mention something yesterday...

On the way out the show last night, there was a couple with a beautiful dog standing by the stage door. The dog was a lab/golden retriever mix - beautiful coat - and he was being trained to be a guide dog for the blind.

They all - the couple and the dog - actually sat through the show - and then they waited by one of the exits to "test" the dog. People were allowed to pet him, but he was not allowed to lick or move. And he didn't. It was very cool, and the couple training the dog have been doing this for years.

They noted the one thing that distracts 99% of the dogs - even after they've been trained - is applause. They can sit through other loud sounds, but for some reason applause makes them perk up. -It would be interesting to find out exactly why that would be a trigger for them.

DR Ginny - You're welcome.

Applause always does it for me, too!

Which is close to C-orta!!

As for TCB-orta.... I don't have a clue!

You are just lucky, my dear François, that they do not allow groaning at this here site!

TCB, no! I wasn't offended at all! I was AGREEING with you! These two people have been in love for a long time. I've always found Charles to be a earnest, funny, and rather delightful fellow. I think Camilla has been unfairly portrayed as a home-wrecker. I think Diana was not the pristine, put-upon-thing she pretended to be.

I think it's time folks just let Charles have a little happiness. I also think he would make a good and responsible king!

Back from a wonderful evening with friends. We had hamburgers, corn on the cob, french fries, pasta salad, and strawberry shortcake for desert. We truly did laugh and laugh and then when we thought we could laugh no longer we laughed some more!

I am doing some laundry but I will be heading to bed as soon as the next load hits the dryer. I am trying to figure out where exactly my dress shoes have lumbered off to but if push comes to shove I have an old pair at home I can use.

I am slightly burnt from my escapades outside today so I do hope you will forgive my redness tomorrow.

Jane, RACHEL & THE STRANGER is a great choice, though I suppose it could qualify as early Americana as opposed to a western, but it's a terrific little movie. Probably my favourite Loretta Young movie. Of course, both Holden and Mitchum are terrific in it.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #190 on:** April 09, 2005, 10:07:39 PM »

DRs Jed and Ann - May the money keep rolling in! (ah, an Evita reference - sort of.)

Well...

I'm hoping to catch the four of you before the show... All depends upon what the car situation is tomorrow morning.

And then feel free to come down to the pit at intermission or right after the show.

Otherwise, the stage door is off audience right/stage right.

-Oh, and I didn't realize that our Musical Director/Conductor was only on "vacation" for a few days - he came back in today. So he'll be conducting tomorrow's shows - he sat in the house tonight and listened. So, if you want to see Chris, you'll have to come down to the Pit Rail.

I've always thought Alfred Newman's magnum opus is CAPTAIN FROM CASTILE!

TOD: I haven't seen enough Westerns to be a good judge, though I do enjoy the Harvey Girls. I know the Western was huge for many of you when you were children so I can appreciate how much they mean to people based on my own experience with favorite television programs growing up.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #194 on:** April 09, 2005, 10:14:30 PM »

Yes, DRJOSE we can come down to the pit rail at intermission and check out the instruments.

Oh, and I have to say that Clowes has quite roomy rows. Lots of legroom, and just enough room for people to pass without making the people sitting stand up.

Well as Maggie said in 42ND STREET - " That's where they keep the musicians. There's a reason why they call it a pit."

Jrand74 · « **Reply #200 on:** April 09, 2005, 10:21:03 PM »

I LOVE CLOWES. I hope you have circulated the famous Judy Garland-Frances Farmer story among the cast, DRJOSE.

Oh! On EBAY there is a souvenir program from DO I HEAR A WALTZ? in 1967. The John Kenley Players in Ohio featuring Anita Bryant, Bob Wright, and Monique Van Vooren.

I've also been fond of Alfred Newman's score for the MARK OF ZORRO.

My parents went to see CAPTAIN FROM CASTILLE on their first date.
