New perk up - an original large (47x63) Valley of the Dolls FRENCH poster, which is absolutely incredible and the cheapest it will ever go for.

Here it is

That is a literal translation of Valley of the Dolls. But were the pills called Poupees in French? In other words, did the title make sense to them?

I’m in a town hall meeting at work with about 700 others. It started with the national anthem. Played a la Hendrix on an electric guitar. No wavering pitch. No sliding scales. No sturm und drang. No angst. It made me feel pride in my team talent.

DR George, Betsy Joslyn has been married to my friend Mark Mitchell for several years now. She's one of my Facebook friends as well. I've known Mark since he and I worked on Pal Joey with Patti Lupone and Peter Gallagher for Encores! years ago.

Thanks for the info, Larry. Her IMDb listing shows her spouses in this order:

George Hearn (1979 - 1984) ( divorced)
Mark Mitchell (? - ?)

I just assumed that Mark Mitchell was her first husband.

I just learned that my long line publicity client, Henry Darrow, has passed away at age 87.
(Sept. 15, 1933 - March 14, 2021)
Rest in peace, my friend. You will be missed.

My condolences to you and his family, Druxy.

A Facebook friend sent me this link to the NY Dept. of Labor page, and I think all is good now.

Lots and lots of examples on that page. It’s incredible how we were able to grow up taking classical music in cartoons for granted.

Not to mention the craft and artistry of the cartoons themselves.

This is great! Thanks for the link, ChasSmith!

I just spoke to the wonderful Suad Hassan, who signed me up for unemployment last June. She works with our state rep Jose Serrano and she told me everyone has to re-apply for unemployment. She told me that if I had not heard from a NY Dept. of Labor person by Friday to give her a call. We chatted a bit and I mentioned what a hard time I had getting a vaccine appointment, and she said "why didn't you give me a call?" I think she's a good person to have on your side!

59% actually - hasn't updated the home page yet. Back from picking up a package, but NOT yesterday's package. I told them specifically it was a package from yesterday, but they handed me one that had come this morning. I didn't realize until I got home, so I called back and got the "we've been busy so it hadn't been scanned in yet" BS, and I had to remind them that I'm not some guy who returns Amazon packages, I'm a customer who pays them to have a box there and I and anyone who has a box there deserves to have their mail and packages scanned in and ready - that's why we PAY.

That Valley of the Dolls poster has gone for very big bucks at auction - I really have it at a low price.

Listening to another Reynaldo Hahn operetta, L'Ile du reve. I didn't really love the other one I heard, but this thing is seriously beautiful.

Ah it seems that the 1981 TV version of VOD is on YouTube - commercials and all.

How I'm feeling today...

singdaw · « **Reply #81 on:** March 15, 2021, 03:07:21 PM »

Many people called out sick today, leaving just me and one other person to handle the call volume by ourselves (200 calls).

singdaw · « **Reply #82 on:** March 15, 2021, 03:07:56 PM »

Then at the end of the day, my boss, whom I really like, announced that she's leaving within 3 weeks due to health reasons.

Two, count 'em, TWO people in my department are leaving (one has already left...but not by choice $:-\$ ).

Drizzling on and off - the day can't make up its mind. But just had a nice telephonic conversation with someone in Australia and there will be most fascinating news very soon.
