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

I did not sleep well last night.  Yesterday, when I was using the Big Ladder, I pulled something on my right side and for the remainder of the day my right arm throbbed.  At one point I wqas sure it was a heart attack, but I noticed it was intermittent and quiet for long periods of time. The upshot is that I sleep on my right side, so it was not a pleasant night.

Last night I watched The Thin Man, a movie I haven't seen in at least 20 years.  I really love Myrna Loy and William Powell, but I must say I cannot at all see how the dour, sour, and unpleasant Lillian Hellman inspired the characxter of Nora Charles.

DR TCB, I am very happy the collapsing shower head did not injure you, and I hope it will be repaired soon.  I have had two painful experiences with departing doctors - one a shrink and the other my primary caregiver at my HMO - in which I literally threw myself on the floor, grabbed their legs, and begged them not to desert me that I was really upset and touched by your account of your retiring doctor.  I hope his replacement treats you with such care.

Not much to report today......our sad season marches on.  Not sure if anyone will want to buy tickets to attend.....even with socially distanced seating, etc.  We shall see.

I'm not surprised to hear that the Boulez Lulu seems less compelling than the Böhm. It's a gross generality, but for all of Boulez's genius, the "general wisdom" used to be that his performances of other people's works were more analytical than inspired. They might very well be the most clinically precise study recordings for someone with their head buried in the score, but was the music better served by other conductors? On the other hand, he really was a conductor as well as a writer and composer. Like I said, a gross generality.

In three hours I go in for my second Pfizer, but not my second Pfitzner.

For one brief shining moment, I will have more Pfizers than TCB has shower heads.

Well, it's something to think about.

This should also not be confused with Lee Fiser, a school friend who's the last surviving member of the LaSalle Quartet which had been the quartet-in-residence at UC CCM for many years.

I've spent the past hour redoing that blasted Chapter One of the A&T book again!  I feel like a chihuahua giving birth to a St. Bernard.

BK, you might enjoy the Met video of the complete 3-act Lulu. I think this, Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmelites, and Kurt Weill's Mahagonny were the best productions of John Dexter during his run as director of productions.

That one's still on my watch pile for as soon as I can devote an evening to it. I saw it when first telecast, and years later when I first got the DVD, but not since.
