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

Hello.

BK, I am dancing with joy that you have an Offenbach recording on the way. He really is the creator of musical comedy, and he wrote in a lot of different forms, from satire to romantic operetta to comic operetta to grand opera, and I think some of them like Orpheus in the Underworld verge on theatre of the absurd.

As for Reynaldo Hahn, I keep trying to like his operetta Ciboulette - many do! - but it eludes me. Maybe I'll give it a listen tomorrow.

DR CharlesSmith, I do not understand your comment about Facebook and "Me and Marie."

This morning, when I take the recyclables down, I will pick up yesterday's mail ands several packages, one of them being a carton of storage boxes. I need to prepare a shipment to Miami University and pack some books for our DR ChasSmith to donate to a few libraries.

DR Jrand70, I'm happy you are adjusting to the new dentalware.

DR TCB, I can only hope that jacket, when it arrives, makes me look that slender.

Stephen Sondheim told me around 1982 that "Silly People," the song dropped from A Little Night Music, was his Scriabin number.

That picture of the sandwich in the Notes has me salivating.

I think 19 is my Scriabin number, but perhaps JRand could confirm that from a planetary perspective.

It’s that kind of a day. Bad allergy attack in the night.

I keep having dreams of being in a dystopian society after the GOP and climate change destroy the way we currently live. I somehow discover a way to make the water potable.

DR CharlesSmith, I do not understand your comment about Facebook and "Me and Marie."

Sorry for confusion. Here's what that was supposed to mean:

I had earlier listened to three songs you linked to on FB ("Kling-Kling Bird", "A Picture of Me Without You", "Me and Marie").

Later, in your post here, I found that "Me and Marie" is listed three times (along with "Six Little Wives", once):

Quote

Thirteen years later BBC Radio-3 broadcast a performance directed by Ian Marshall Fisher with musical direction by Kevin Amos. The cast included Denis Quilley, Vivienne Martin, Gavin Lee, Sarah Payne, Sally Ann Triplett, David Malek, Elizabeth Counsell, and David Firth. I will post a few numbers from each of those performances.

Nothing much these past few days, but this talk of the Berg operas has me thinking I'll be revisiting those sometime over the weekend.

Tuna Melts.

There, I said it.

Been thinking about them.

The few I ever ordered anywhere were always disappointments. The tuna was always too runny (that's my usual complaint even if it isn't on a melt) and the components of the sandwich never seemed to come together.

So I'm thinking about how I would create my own, and just looking at pictures online (without reading any recipes yet) for inspiration.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #21 on:** March 05, 2021, 05:55:24 AM »

BK's picture of the pulled pork has me salivating, but wondering about what's in the freezer is driving me nuts. Can't wait to hear about that.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #22 on:** March 05, 2021, 05:58:30 AM »

I need to do some shopping this weekend, and I believe the chili, cheese and onion dogs are about to make their return.

I also want to improve my method of preparing them. There's a recipe for oven-baked ones (it involves a little more than just that) that I might try.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #23 on:** March 05, 2021, 06:14:19 AM »

DR George:

What you're seeing as distortion is more a function of the three-camera process itself. Smilebox isn't creating that. Whenever you're seeing an occasional weird spatial relationship between people or things, that's going to be there when you're watching the flat screen version as well.

I'm sure that BK can better explain, or correct this if I'm off track.

It's time to take How the West Was Won off the shelf, too, because now I'd like to check both versions myself.

I have developed a new staging concept for Gypsy. In my production, Mama Rose would have rings on her fingers and bells on her toes. That way, we could seamlessly incorporate the Tony Orlando & Dawn pop hit into the score.

How the West was One: a study of Transcendental Meditation in California.

It really pops in surround screen.

Thirty-five years ago today my reconstruction of the 1935 Cole Porter-Moss Hart musical "Jubilee" received its first performances at Town Hall, directed by Jimmy Brennan and musical direction by Greg Dlugos. The cast included Roderick Cook, Paula Lawrence, Robert Fitch, Alyson Reed, Carole Shelley, Davis Gaines, Reed Jomnes, Patrick Quinn, and a very young, very beautiful Rebecca Luker in her second New York performance.

"Me and Marie" can be too much of a good thing!

In neither the original 1986 nor 1999 performances did our Karen O'Kane really nail the vocal of "Begin the Beguine."
