Maybe they haven't gotten results yet. I'm not concerned if that's what you're wondering. We were all in masks and not near each other. The only time masks were removed was when the actors had to play the scene.

Tuesday morning greetings! At noon today I'll be Zooming to the book discussion hosted by the director of the library where my career began. I only got about one third of the way through Eric Larson's The Splendid and the Vile. I just wasn't in the mood for surging fascism last month - go figure.

Ha! How un-American of you. Wink, wink.

Thank you, DR Donald, for the Broadway Radio Hour reminder!

My dance instructor/partner took her husband (my former personal Chinese chef) to the hospital last night because he had lost 15 pounds over the last three weeks. His doctor said his blood tests came back normal. But the hospital said he has pneumonia and should have been treated a week ago. Today, he was diagnosed with covid. Not a pretty picture.

Churchill's leadership during the war... He inspired the people to stay strong and do what was necessary while understanding the hardships.

What a stark difference to the current climate. Sad.

I am sorry the album producer decided to "drive the message home" in the liner notes with photos of the current administration to outline the story parallels.

Totally unnecessary.

Well, here's a bellini on Fellini!

Another thing that arrived today was "The Operas of Benjamin Britten," which amongst other things contains the complete libretti of all of Britten's operas. Which is great, as these were left out of the Britten box set.

Laura Benanti is a national treasure. But the Charlie Brown Christmas special spoof had me in tears

Does it have Paul Bunyan in it?

That is beyond wonderful. Would you put baloney on Antonioni? Or Fran Kublik on Kubrick? Silver Bells on Orson Welles?

Magoo's Christmas Carol is up soon. Three very different Christmas Carols in a row. Maybe I'll make a fourth with A Carol Christmas. So many possibilities.

George did you pay to open an account with the Sno-Isle Libraries? It seems to be a foundation.

No. I just created an account and they sent me a library card number. $:-\$ Maybe the link I posted is not where I actually did it. It was only a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't get any e-mail or information about a foundation.

Odds are good you won't catch it even if someone tests positive.

I went back in and found where I had to chose a library. I passed not even knowing where these libraries are.

No one on Facebook will publish anything but drooling raves of Anyone Can Whistle because if they do this relentless little producer will go after them, shame them, and post every great review, which he tubthumps 100 times a day on every Broadway related group - they should just rename them all the John Yap group. When Follies came out and got the same exact raves from everyone, I don't believe I made more than a single post in two groups about it. This guy is either so needy as to beggar belief or he's just a little, well, needy, I guess there's no other word for it. Twenty four YEARS to birth this thing. And from the two songs I've heard, I certainly wasn't crazy about the sound, the mix, but no one will talk about that because they don't understand that stuff. And of course everyone is just so happy to have a complete version, although the OBC wasn't exactly short.

DR George, wow, to your saving the library book.

Thanks! I had to do something...I just couldn't wait at least another 8 weeks before I could get another copy from ANY of the libraries where I have online cards! And I didn't want to pay for it.

One advantage of two accounts is putting a hold on both accounts, and then I was next up for the book if I didn't finish in time, not that I needed that option very often.

Exactly! Except that now, I have FOUR accounts from which to choose!
