I have a huge number of favorite books I purchased from that cart

I have seen those carts at various libraries where we have lived.  Only once did I purchase a book so I could read it.

Any Kaye Ballard fans who may not have seen this elsewhere:

https://www.kayeballardmovie.com/watch/?fbclid=IwAR185DwiRy5Gyu3tu5Ax4zIacIYAxYcjl0SLS7DxG0j3QkYRHYGKpz8JuAM:

This is just about to start!  I'll be watching this here at work. :)

I missed the beginning, but I really enjoyed what I saw. I won't call it a great documentary, but I loved Kaye Ballard madly, to quote Bernie Koppell quoting Duke Ellington.

It was enjoyable but not great.  And am I wrong or did it just sort of stop without a real ending?

And now, it's time for me to leave work and head home. 

Be back later.

It did just sort of stop.

What I didn't care for was why Hal Prince, who praised her to the skies, never used her in anything. Did he think she'd turn into Zero Mostel or something?

And seeing some of the clips from Gary Moore and old shows.

I wish they had shown more of her Broadway Baby, which is incredible. There was such joy on her face as she sang that it seemed a shame we couldn't hear her just because Donna McKechnie was talking.

Watching the second act of Vanessa now. Weird opera. I like the music, but all the alleged incest is rather icky.

We are watching THE ODD COUPLE,  1968 movie.  It has been awhile since we have seen it.  I forgot how much fun it is.

TOD - As I've mentioned before, The Music Man was the first professional musical I saw on stage, so there's a very soft spot for it in my heart.  This line gets me every time:

"I always think there's a band, kid."


And THE MUSIC MAN was the first musical I ever did onstage.

There might be more of that type of Shinn line I'm forgetting. And I believe that not all of these are in the stage play. Speaking of which, I've long thought that every single thing they added for the movie was an improvement. Nothing that they left out or altered comes to mind as anything but.

Including "Being in Love". I admit I first grew up on the movie soundtrack, so there's my handicap. But if nearly six decades haven't warmed me better to the "My White Night" verse, that just might be a lost cause for this Philistine.

In spite of the multitude of times I've seen the film, I'll have to watch with a score to review what they did with the dance music. "76" probably doesn't matter to me much. "Marian the Librarian" does, and I believe it's surprisingly intact, but not all the way (?). Also have to review the "It's You Ballet" because I don't even remember if they used anything of the original. Oh, and "Shipoopi" -- probably cut down some?


What is the “It’s You ballet”?

I only remember doing three dance numbers in the show:

Trombones in the gym
Marian the Librarian
Shipoopi

Of course that was over 50 years ago, so what do I know?

Of course, at the time I was still pissed that they hadn’t done the show five years earlier, so I could have played Winthrop.

I have got to stop watching the local newscasts, or I am going to give myself a stroke.  These effen teenagers going on about how this pandemic is a joke.  How they are not going to pay attention to it, if they decide to backtrack to Phase One!

God!!  How stupid can these people be?
