DR Vixmom sometimes I take pictures out just to make the post smaller, and sometimes they disappear without my doing anything.  I have no idea why.

Congrats on The Fantasticks. I've had that vocal score book forever. In fact, I have that, 110 in the Shade, and a lovely signed copy of I Do! I Do! that the boys gave me when we were recording it. And Harvey sent me a copy of his score for the film A Texas Romance.

That's great. I'm sorry I had Tom sign my LP jacket instead of either my score or the show poster with my name on it (that was really dumb). His inscription is great, but it would have been nicer on something else.

Is the film score in manuscript? (Just curious. Always love handwritten scores.)

Great news, DR ChasSmith! When I did Harvey's and Tom's Mirette at Goodspeed, we could not get a Connecticut harpist.  They were all happier playing weddings and Sunday brunches, so the two harpists alternating on The Fantasticks at Sullivan Street alternated weeks at Goodspeed.

OMG, what a story! Which year was that?
That arrangement must have cost Goodspeed a bloody fortune. That's absolutely incredible.

If you don't mind, I'd love to relate that story to this gal here just to get her reaction. Or maybe I'd better not jinx my own chances at stealing someone away from those weddings and brunches. Oh, man. That's amazing.

The Fantastiks brings back such good memories , I ran one of the follow spots during the our production my first semester of college

And taking the then young Vixter to see the  revival in NYC, ending up with front row center seats that required we tuck our feet under our chairs to avoid tripping the actors.

At one point confetti shot out of cannons and one of the actors gathered up and armful from the floor and dumped in all the Vixters lap, to her great delight.

We were there with former  DR William F. Orr.

During intermission we discovered Elmore was also in the audience (I forget who you were with) and after the show he kindly introduced us to the actor who was  playing Henry,  the ‘old actor”, none other than Mr.Tom Jones himself!!

And another great story! A superb one, in fact.

(I was seated there, too - front row center - and had to hold my legs in.)

There were two hot dogs and enough chili left, so guess what my repast turned out to be this evening.

Got to Noodle Tree a little early. The place is a madhouse with many masked people waiting to get in while those of us with takeout orders are patiently waiting. The windows are covered with hearts from people bearing messages like “Be a light in the darkness” and “We see you. We love you. We stand with you.”

This is the place that was spray painted with anti-Asian graffiti after the owner called out the governor for his deadly decision to drop mandatory masks. It made the national news.

I got emotional reading this.  It is very moving.  I expect it felt good to be apart of this.

I just watched the interview with the owner, not that I could understand everything he said while wearing a mask-lol

I gather everyone at the restaurant was wearing a mask.

Then I met up with Marshall Harvey and we had a lovely Mexican meal at Don Cuco's - excellent - indoor dining - we were the only ones there.

I'm listening to Mussorgsky's Khovanshchina - I'm finding it a bit of a slog.

It is such a great feeling to get the second vaccine, and even better after two weeks.

DR TCB to answer your question last night....

At this point if we changed our flights it would work best to go to Craig first.  We don't want to do that as it would increase our chances of taking covid to Chicago with us.  We are still being extra careful until after we return.  Our first dining out experiences will be in Chicago.

If Craig can't make it he will change his flight to Chicago for after the summer break begins.

No, I was there way late, not long before it closed just a few years ago.

I had truffled pulled pork noodles and pork dumplings. Oink. This little piggy is very happy. I would go back.
