Well, you've read the notes, the notes were wild and wooly, and now it is time for you to post until the wild and wooly cows come home.

And the word of the day is: ADDUCE!

I don’t think I have ever heard of Dianne Reeves.

There are a lot of her videos on YouTube, even some full-length concerts.

Here's one...and the link should take you to her version of Sondheim's "I Remember," even though the person who put it on YouTube called it "I Remember Sky."

George · « **Reply #5 on:** October 22, 2020, 02:18:17 AM »

But interestingly, she recorded and performed another song called, "I Remember." It's definitely not Sondheim, but I like this one, too.

Off to bed.

Have a good day, all!

I remember ~~sky~~ my first ebay bid. It was on a (then) bootleg VHS copy of Sondheim's Evening Primrose. I waited up for the close of bidding, but was outbid at the last moment. Eventually I did win a copy, but now of course it is commercially available.

And of course, the song DR George posted above is from that piece.

So it all comes full circle.

Good morning, all!

DR TCB, Topaz is indeed a cutie! After much consideration, I have decided I will try to adopt little Lenox. He's so cute, but Annabelle, Thatch, and Stella give me ERKS (Excessive Romping Kitty Syndrome).

Congratulations, DR elmore3003. I hope it all works out.

DR Jeanne, in my 40 years in this apartment, we had the following supers:
Mr Gonzalez, who was here when I moved in, a really wonderful man; he was older and lived wth his wife on the first floor; their daughter and grandson lived on the fifth floor.
Alban Greenwich, from one of the Caribbean islands; lived with his wife and children; his wife was an excellent cook; they left to go back to the Caribbean and open a B&B; Alban was a good super for a while, then he stopped caring long before he left.
Steve Trifun, one of the absolute best, took over in early 1999; RIP, Steve.
Bosko, his son-in-law, sacked in 2016/
Val, absolute best, Aug. 2016-July 2018.
? ? ?, didn't last long; I cannot even remember his name.
Jeff, our current.

About my refrigerator: I called Jeff, who contacted the service company. The landlord was only involved once the service man declared the fridge terminal.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 22, 2020, 04:07:20 AM »

So, today I need a trip to my pharmacy this morning, and I hope to leave here around 9:00. When I return, I plan to spend a couple of hours cleaning out the fridge.

DR JohnG, I listened to the last TER post of "Me and My Town" and I thought, too much acting and not enough concern for the musical line. This attitude spoils a lot of revival cast recordings for me.

Can we hope there are tax fraud charges in the Con Don's future?

Good morning.

Laura · « **Reply #17 on:** October 22, 2020, 05:19:10 AM »

I'm going to meet the steward at church to work on the landscaping for a while. At least the mornings are nice. The afternoons are still in the upper 90s.

Laura · « **Reply #18 on:** October 22, 2020, 05:19:33 AM »

But at least that's better than the 110s.

Don’t you hate it when you desperately need a high card - any high card - and you draw ADDUCE?

Druxy · « **Reply #22 on:** October 22, 2020, 05:47:50 AM »

T.O.D.

I used to purchase signed lobby cards on ebay.

I guess my favorite is one from KISS ME KATE. It was already signed by Howard Keel (a former publicity client) and Ann Miller (interviewed her cor my CORONET column), so I knew the signatures were valid.

Over the next year or so, I made it a point to add both Kathryn Grayson (another former client) and Tommy Rall's signatures, and now the card is framed and hanging on my wall.

I think I used to buy plane tickets on eBay. Can that be right?

DR Jane re: flu shots. They are doing them differently this year. They are by appointment only. I used to just go early on whatever day it was at my location. Now you have to reserve your spot so only a few people are there at once. But I didn't know that the sign-ups had started. I did get a place that is only 10-15 minute drive. So pretty close. It's just the place near me is 1 month earlier.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #26 on:** October 22, 2020, 06:02:37 AM »

I have no idea now what my first eBay purchase might have been, but I'd guess a nice hardbound edition of the novel that the Ray Milland movie The Uninvited was based on.

I am off to my pharmacy.

If your pharmacy thinks you're off, they must be right.

And on that note (e-flat), we off.
