I may have to watch it with CC on.

I sometimes have to resort to that. I even did for Hamilton!

Some sporadic snow here today, but no significant accumulation. There is still snow groundcover from last week.

We have been watching Maigret (the original series).

It's funny how all these Parisians have an English accent. But other than that, we are enjoying it.

In On the Twentieth Century, does Mildred Plotka eat a sharlotka?

That's what I want to know.

Thanks for the recipe, Singdaw. That looks good.

I'm so glad to hear that DR Elmore is chillin' out.

The end of the motion picture industry as we know it.

It can't be... Szell? Szell. Szell! Szell! Szell! My God! Stop him! Szell! Stop Szell! It's Szell. Der Weisse Engel! Der Weisse Engel is here. Oh my God, stop him. Stop him. Der Weisse Engel!

I have accomplished everything I planned to do today, so I'm rather content. I will lie down now and not rise until 3:00 when I need to cook the kitties their dinner.

I really just open cans of Fancy Feast, but I want to keep them thinking I'm working overtime on their happiness.

As far as she's concerned, you should be slaving over a hot stove all day.

I got another part of Caste done and it was too depressing. So, now I’m listening to Jerry Jeff Walker.

John G. · « **Reply #49 on:** October 25, 2020, 08:33:24 AM »

Walker in Austin died yesterday at 78.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #50 on:** October 25, 2020, 08:36:43 AM »

I had three years of living on campus within a few blocks of Severance Hall, seeing Szell conduct and basking in the "Cleveland sound". Oddly, I don't remember much about who guest conducted in my next two years there after he died. Robert Shaw, maybe. Boulez. But did I go to hear him? Don't know. Leinsdorf? I wish I'd kept Cleveland Orchestra programs from those years. I don't even have my Mahler Sixth one. I know Maazel became their conductor when I moved to L.A., but I never followed him or the orchestra until their Porgy and Bess album was released a few years later.

Thanks for jogging my memory, DR ChasSmith. I misremembered yesterday. It was Robert Shaw who interned under George Szell.

Oh! I'd meant to question that, then my brain went right on to some other cockamamie thing. But it's also a jolt to my own memory because I'd forgotten he'd led the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus until the year before I arrived in Cleveland.

He later came up to guest conduct Boito's Prologue to Mefistofele, which the Shaw Chorale had sung on the Toscanini recording that I'd played to death prior to that. Watching those Shaw rehearsals on YouTube a few weeks ago reminded me of that. I got to attend the orchestra reading, which was fascinating because they were sightreading the parts and I found myself witnessing a Cleveland Orchestra stumble-through. It was explained to me that that style of music wasn't their bailiwick, and that this was nothing out of the ordinary for even a world class orchestra. He was patient and guiding, of course, and the performances were wonderful. I think that's the only time I saw him in person.

When I see/hear icebox, I always picture Alice on the Honeymooners with hers.

Now back to Caste. I will finish this book, but probably in small doses.
