The Karma has returned. It wasn't there a minute ago, on my computer anyway.

although it makes sense that you gain a star each time you gain a level...reminds me of a computer game I used to be addicted to...

Have I mentioned how glad I am that it's Friday?

Computers are a lot like two year olds...they throw fits for no reason whatsoever, and any information has to be repeated several times for it to sink in. I wonder if we can send our server to bed without dessert tonight...

DR Jane - you are only 11 posts away from Jr. Membership!

Hey, BK!

Treat yourself to a grog!

Grog
1 shot rum
1 teaspoon sugar (preferably superfine)
Squeeze of lime juice
Cinnamon stick
Boiling water

Stir all ingredients, adding enough boiling water to fill mug or glass.

Is it just me, or don't you think that Mark-You're-All-Crazy-Bakalor looks darn cute on that pic of his???

More later!

Thanks Ann. I should just keep on posting but I must go read The Sparrow or I won't be prepared to lead the discussion on it.

Hey Bruce, I can just picture you drinking that-LOL.

Well, I've just been perusing some of the old pages that I hadn't seen until now, so I'm finally going to clear up an age-old mystery:

WEL, my Sondheim vibes were for WFO.

There.

Maya, are you auditioning anywhere else besides JMU? Did you look at Shenandoah? If so, what did you think? If not, why not?

François · « **Reply #70 on:** November 07, 2003, 11:45:49 AM »

Ann!

It's FRIDAY!
Aren't you glad??

If it's Friday... it must be Belgium!

Nope. For some reason it appears the new host isn't set up to allow users to upload files through this software. We'll have to look into how to fix this problem. When we have a solution I'll let everyone know.

DR Charles Pogue - did you get your new issue of Scarlet Street yet?

Jane · « **Reply #77 on:** November 07, 2003, 12:30:27 PM »

I just received a very interesting letter. A portion of the profits from my father’s casket has gone to a children’s organization called York Children’s Foundation. Over the past 10 years the foundation has donated more than $1.8 million to children’s organizations nationwide, helping in every area of child welfare. I find this very comforting.

Jane · « **Reply #78 on:** November 07, 2003, 12:36:49 PM »

Oh, and Charles Pogue, I thought your rant was hilarious

Maya · « **Reply #79 on:** November 07, 2003, 12:39:04 PM »

Joy--well, right now JMU is definitely my #1 choice. They're a good strong liberal arts school with the option of getting a BA in musical theatre (as opposed to just theatre), they're affordable and I have a couple of friends who go there already.

I have looked into Shenandoah, but even if I did get in, there's really no way my family and I could pay for it, even with partial scholarships. I hear they have an excellent program, but I do have to be realistic about the economic factors of what school I should transfer to.

I do have a few back-ups in case I somehow screw up my audition and don't get into JMU's musical theatre program. I'm also looking into Mary Washington College and I've started researching Nothern Kentucky University. They're supposedly very affordable for an out of state school and also have a very strong musical theatre program.

Sorry I turned this into an essay! Joy (or any other DRs), do you have any recommendations for schools I should look into? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

François--Are you the only one who thinks Mark Bakalor looks adorable in his pic? Yes.

Just kidding! Mark, I think you are the bee's knees!

And they are cute knees too.

When I saw the word SHENENDOAH I thought you were refering to the musical (which it turns out you were not). Still it got me thinking. This is one of those musicals that I really changed my mind about. I saw the original production the same week I saw A CHORUS LINE at the Public, CHICAGO with Gwen and Chita, et. al. and at the time I felt SHENENDOAH was a little too old fashioned. When I saw the revival about fifteen years later I realized that not only was it not old fashioned, but also it was the kind of show Broadway needed and was better than 90% of the shows that opened between the original and revival. Or to paraphrase Cole Porter - "Make It Another Old Fashioned, Please". Do other DRs know this show, and if so what do you think of it?

Pre Breakfast post: CDs: "Les Parapluies De Cherbourg" (1980 French cast). "Philemon" (OBC) and "Cry For Us All" (OBC). I think the score for CFUA is a beautiful piece of work indeed. Thank to the WWB of generous people (New York Branch) for my CDs this week.
DVD: The delightful UK film "Green Fingers" (Helen Mirran).

Maya: What about Macbeth's family? Do they have money? I mean if the dude is going to steal you away from us, the least he can do is send you to a good school.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #84 on:** November 07, 2003, 01:12:44 PM »

WEL: no-one is ever game enough to stage "Shenendoah" in Oz (Too American) but I find the score quite moving. I always thought that the Udell/Geld song "I'm Afraid To Go Home" (Gene Pitney) sounded like it was written for the show. A great song writing duo that is sadly neglected. As well as their three Broadway musicals, they wrote wonderful pop songs for Pitney, Jackie Wilson, The Carpenters etc.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #85 on:** November 07, 2003, 01:17:36 PM »

I think I should play the Andrews sisters recoding of "FAIRY Boat Serenade" today.

TCB · « **Reply #86 on:** November 07, 2003, 01:20:10 PM »

Mr. Oz: Green Fingers? is that the anti-war film with Dean Stockwell?

Ah, Gene Pitney. I absolutely love his music.

Maya · « **Reply #87 on:** November 07, 2003, 01:20:14 PM »

WEL--I haven't heard the entire Shenandoah score, but I think "We Make a Beautiful Pair" is a lovely song!

TCB--LOL...awww, he could never steal me away from you guys! Unfortunately though, Macbeth is not doing very well moneywise. He just got into a car wreck, and although he is fine, his car isn't, and he may have to end up paying a couple grand.

If I could right now, I would help him out!!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #88 on:** November 07, 2003, 01:22:51 PM »

TCB - I think you are thinking of The Boy With Green Hair.
