Kitty cleanup is over, and I've sent a few emails and files.

Yesterday I posted an inquiry on the Cast Recording List about the 1962 Readers Digest Treasury of Great Operettas. It was originally issued on 9 LPs, each containing excerpts from 2 operettas, one on each side. I got the set as a Christmas gift that year. In 1965, in London, the Readers Digest recorded three more LPS and sold the set in UK and Australia as a 12-LP set.

Several years ago I paid Anthony Morelli to transfer a clean set of LPs to mp3 files, but I've been wanting the additional six operettas from 1965. Thanks to Cast Rexording Listers, I now have the entire collection. I find like a lot of atudio cast recordings there isa little in the way of emoting, just a lot of pretty singing. Still it was a great intro to a lot of piece I barely knew as a 16 year-old.

I have that set of LPs. Haven’t listened to it in ages.

DR Elmore, I had a (truly) mint condition of that Operettas album, and I'm afraid to say it left the building during the Great Purge of 2011. For the most part, I did well in getting rid of "extraneous" things then, but every once in a while a reminder comes up of something I absolutely should have kept. But our interests mutate over time, and, well...these things happen.

But I never knew about the 12-disc version until I saw your Facebook post yesterday. I'd almost be tempted to buy one from someone in the UK, if I could be certain of the condition, and if overseas shipping weren't so horrendous right now.

I am happy to send you all 24 mp3 files, if you would like/

Via Dropbox? I need to clean mine up. But I would like a copy.

Has anybody heard Leslie Bricusse’s musical version of Sherlock?

Gasoline was back down to $2.09 per gallon, and I was feeling very smug until on my home I passed a station selling it for $2.03 per gallon......oh well.....

TOD:

I think we had a Sherlock Holmes story in one of my high school literature books.....

I remember reading The Hound of the Baskervilles at one time or another.

I also like Rathbone and his Holmes. Those movies were on late on Friday night after a scary movie on a local station for many years.....

I sort of liked The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes.....sort of.

Just so you know:

You’ve no doubt heard the phrase “what goes around comes around,” and that has never been truer than when Saturn is retrograde. As karmic Saturn continues its backward journey and moves into serious, structured Capricorn today, we’re asked to turn the mirror onto ourselves and think about our own karma. What areas of your life have you been responsible in, and which ones could use some work?

This retrograde period is a valuable time of discovery. It reminds you that the guidelines you set for yourself should always be under assessment and revisiting your moral and ethical stand on certain topics is necessary. Saturn calls on you now to start sorting through both the good and the bad that you’ve helped materialize in your life lately, and come to a decision about changes you want to make in the future.

Trust me, Larry and Jane, my sister’s husband would be no help at all.

Only Larry asked that question. I knew better and was hesitant to ask about your niece knowing how frustrated she is with her mother, and I expect with her father.

I am leaving the home environment for a bit to go to the gasoline station ($2.19 per gallon yesterday), the drugstore drive thru to pick up two prescriptions, and PetSuppliesPlus to get Conrad Birdie Barnum his seed......

Our lives are so exciting these days

Hugh Downs has died. He was 99-wow.

Today is "totally" a Friday for me:

1. Many people, my two housemates included, have tomorrow off.
2. The weather is warming up for the Fourth of July weekend.
3. I'm aware that a few places I need to call for whatever reason are closed tomorrow, so a couple of things got done today and a couple more have to wait till Monday.

It all just adds up to one thing: It's Friday.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #55 on:** July 02, 2020, 12:46:56 PM »

Wait.

Didn't we just have Memorial Day Weekend?
