I feel badly for you, DR elmore3003. ~~HUGS~~~
I was just informed that, as an employee of the State of Minnesota, we will be continuing to work from home at least through June, 2021.And that's just fine with me.
BK, I agree with you about the Anyone Can Whistle artwork. I kept looking at it and thinking, what's the Eiffel Tower doing in it?

I've called him out on that as have others - he gets very testy, very childish, and he finally decides to mix the album and acts like he's God for doing so, has been posting relentlessly about it everywhere you can post, had a cover art contest and if that's the best he got it's really bad and many people have commented on it and he goes after anyone who does, saying it's brilliant and everyone will understand when they see it, got Sondheim to give him a quote (who hasn't), and at this point I'm beyond caring if it's good or bad. And why forty-two musicians - listen to the OBC - it sounds great and they most certainly did not augment what was already a large band by Broadway standards. He really is a mess and he REALLY doesn't like me, which means I enjoy taking him on every now and then, just for fun, to watch him attack me and implode.He doesn't like me either, because I asked him for more money for all those orchestra tracks of mine that he uses on 4-6 different singers. He also gave all the charts I did for Matt Bogart to one of those Bravo Broadway concert companies, and I don't evenm know if I get credited when those charts are used. I also wonder if he pays R&H and other rental places for pulling the same crap.

I lost any respect when, for all his solo albums, he would make the singers use tracks he already had for other albums - yes, he'd have a few new orchestrations, but anyone who recycles tracks like that is putting the singer in a box they probably don't wish to be in.

Thanks again for the good wishes. The appointment was surprising. The doctor went to take a sample of the growth for biopsy, and the entire thing just popped out. I was amazed at how large it was. In any case, of course it will be sent for testing. Assuming it was benign, nothing further will be required, which is quite a relief. Thanks to local anesthesia, I didn't feel a thing. It's draining a bit, but no torrent of blood, so all in all a very successful appointment.
Talked with Mom. Her energy is improving. She’s having an MRI later today. She’s still under observation, but her doctor is pleased with his progress. Her bruised rib area is still painful.
According to the doctor, I did not pass a kidney stone. I passed a bladder stone. I was not aware of such blessings. I had to Google them.
Vixmom, I’ll post a link to the soup when I find it. Costco had a five-pound bag of organic butternut squash, with the cubes in individual one-pound bags inside. It was very easy using that.

It's not like this is the only recording that he's been working on and nothing else has come out from his company. What's going on with this??

I believe he has other "Complete" recordings "in the can" as well - for just as long.
