I can’t remember the first musical I ever saw, but I was a musicals geek from an early age thanks to the movies Mary Poppins and Sound of Music. On stage, it might have been an outer space rock musical of Titus Andronicus, simply called Andronicus. I know that was 1977, because it was cashing in on Star Wars. An early tour included Jane Powell and Howard Keel in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

I am home from doctor and pharmacy and ready for a nap.  I have an infection, most likely caused by the kidney's trauma when the tumor was removed, and I have a new antibiotic to take.  On Thursday morning I must have an ultrasound inspection.

My sister took me to see a couple of plays/musicals at our high school. I remember seeing Carousel and My Fair Lady, as well as Rhinoceros and Ondine.

Monday morning greetings!  This week I'll be at my computer - a lot - because both DAR and ALA are holding virtual annual conferences.  And this afternoon Rebecca and I have our weekly FaceTime chat.

TOD - Like DRs ChasSmith and John G, my first memory of a musical involves a movie version.  I distinctly remember going along when my mom took my sister and several of her teenage friends to see CAROUSEL and they all left the theatre sobbing.

My first professional stage musical was the touring MUSIC MAN, with Forrest Tucker and Joan Weldon, at Detroit's Riviera Theatre, where we also saw a SOUND OF MUSIC tour starring Florence Henderson.  That venue closed when the restored Fisher Theatre opened and the first show I saw there was a tour of THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN with Karen Morrow in the title role.

The omens are not good for today.  So far, everything I'ver touched has turned to crap.  The last was my cup of coffee.  I sat down, started to take a drink and found a dead roach floating in it  Before that, one of the plugs connecting the TV, DVD player, VCR, and cable box came loose and I had to repair that while three cats clamored for food.  Then I checked my unemployment status from last night to see it did not go through due to a computer screw up at the NY Dept. of Labor last night.

I must leave a message for my super about the latest toilet leak - I think I need a new one - since my doctor appointment now will take up a great part of the morning.  On top of that every joint in my knees, hips and shoulder are killing me, I can barely walk, and all I want to do is clear things for a safe exit to the doctor at 9:00.

If we're talking about movie musicals, I can remember my sister and I watching (it was on TV at least a couple of times when we were kids) the movie version of A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum.  I had no idea about Stephen Sondheim and his contributions to the movie, but I did learn about him later...and how! ;D

Today’s favorite color names: Overjoy and Sensible Hue.

Why not a color called Sensible Shoes?

Jeff has come and gone, and I hope this new toilet leak is repaired.  As far as the day goes, ever since my return home, the day has been quiet and peaceful.  Stella and Thtch and I had a nice nap, then Jeff showed up, and I edited my orchestration while he was in the bathroom. Then he was gone!

I will feed the cats, and I think I will order pizza and a mozzarella-tomato salad for dinner.

Vibes the antibiotic works quickly.  You said a new antibiotic.  I gather this means you were given a different one after the surgery to hopefully prevent an infection.

Funny how memory can play tricks on you.  Once I saw the movie I thought that I saw the stage version with Robert Preston.  I realize now it was with Forest Tucker.

I think I saw it in 1958, however, it is possible I saw it when the tour returned to Los Angeles in 1960.

We have flights to Chicago.  Not this month as we would prefer but earlier in July than we originally expected to go.  Keith fortunately was able to move a doctor's appointment to make it happen.
