Well, I'm excited.  Today the trailer was released for the film of James Bowen's book A Gift From Bob, in which Bob the Streetcat who was run down by a car in June, plays himself.  I really look forward to this.

Jane, the "illustrated" edition is a Project Guttenberg edition, and it turns out that there are no actual illustrations in the downloaded epub book that I got

Thanks. 

My Vancouver library doesn't have it at all.

My Ashland library has 3 eBooks with 3 different covers.  Doing a search showed an option for the illustrated version.  When I clicked on it they didn't have it.

I clicked the "Recommend to library" link and saw that between e-book and audio, OverDrive has 37, count 'em, THIRTY-SEVEN different editions of this one title that libraries can purchase!

I expect this is your professional link.  I can recommend books with the Ashland library but not the Vancouver one.  I have learned not to bother if the books isn't from an author the library usually purchases.  I have books that have been sitting in the recommended section for years.  Popular authors they carry can get me a good spot in the queue once the book is published.

Tuesday morning greetings!  It's a bee-yoo-tee-ful fall day here in SW Ohio.  We had a doozy of a thunderstorm last night and it cleared all that nasty humidity outta here.

That is always a nice feeling.

In honor of Marie Osmond's birthday, I posted in Forgotten Musicals on FB one of my favorite subtle sketches from BK on the Donny and Marie Show from 1977.

From DONNY AND MARIE - For those who think Bruce Kimmel wasn't born until the internet in the.1990s, there's a "forgotten musical" here on the Donny and Marie show from the late 1970s

here at 6:18 -
https://youtu.be/BBbVq9pee_4

In the sketch, Bruce's uncle owns a theater so they plan to convert the theater into a barn so they can put on a show.

With all the wholesomeness, there were really smart people manipulating us in the home audience back then.  :)

DR John G, yes, I worked on the Encores! Paint Your Wagon.  I restored the long missing 2nd bass/tuba part from the full scores.  That was a delightful production, and luckily some of the worst added lines to the edited libretto were cut (something anachronistic about the wordplay on miners and minors was completely wrong). Keith Carradine is such a kind man, and the cast was so good.

I made it through Act One. Will watch the rest later. The male chorus has some great voices. Someone named Nathaniel Hackman did a great version of They Call the Wind Maria.

British conductor John Wilson asked me about Hackman when he was casting Curly for his Proms concert of Oklahoma! and I was happy to recommend him.  He's a good guy.  Here's the Proms broadcast.  Hus Laurie is my beloved Scarlet Strallen, who played the lead in The New Yorkers and whom DR Ginny, Richard, and I saw in A Gentleman's Guide to Murder.

I didn’t make the connection. I loved that Proms production.

HA!

Nobody’s topped it yet. Could probably say the same with Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, byt it was already a classic by the time I saw it.

Only five songs left to choose and I'm hoping I figure out at least three by the end of the day.

Last night I caught a reporter interviewing Trump supporters at the Florida rally.  I would swear that science has discovered algae with higher intelligence than these idiots.  I could not believe the sheer utter stupidity and misinformation they spouted.

Sadly, in this day and age, I can. ::)

TOD

The first two that come to mind are Merchant Ivory’s A Room With a View and John Waters’ original Hairspray.

Ditto to both!
