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

And the word of the day is: SARTORIAL!

I was just about to post this last night, but the day changed:

Shouldn’t Sorry, Grateful be sung with the wives, instead of Bobbi and the husbands?

What a coinkydink! I'm reading Sondheim's first book of lyrics, "Finishing the Hat," and just ~~tonight~~ last night I started reading the section on Company and "Sorry, Grateful" was the last lyric I read before turning on my computer!

Topic of the Day: getting back to doing theater! I ushered the last couple of weekends, and will usher again in June, but I can't wait to be in Mamma Mia! I was supposed to be in the ensemble of a production down in Centralia last year, but then Covid happened, of course.

Well, they just announced last week that the three shows that were cancelled last year (Next to Normal, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Mamma Mia!) will be put on next year! Everyone who was cast in all the shows are welcome to come back, and they'll only recast if the performers aren't available for the new dates. Well, I'm available, so next May, I'll be performing again! And it'll be the first time that I've performed at that theater, so that'll be fun, too!

Good morning, all!

I wanted to sleep in, and the cats said, NO WAY!

I may ave mentioned this before, but Braunfels ran the Cologne Conservatory of Music and was the beloved teacher of my late great friend Trude Rittman, one of the greatest Broadway dance arrangers and composer of incidental music. Agnes deMille, who employed Trude as a pianist for her dance troupe, brought her to Broadway after the success of Oklahoma! I believe that One Touch of Venus was her first Broadway show.

I must step out this morning and visit my pharmacy and the post office.

Last night we watched My Favorite Wife. I love Cary Grant and Irene Dunne, but I didn't much care for it, although it had terrific moments, but I thought it paled next to The Awful Truth. The character men were fantastic, especially the actor playing the frazzled judge.

It IS the little things. Elaine Stritch says so.

Or sings so.

Reading lyrics, I'm always so taken by the difference in the experience, whether or not I know the associated music.

If I know the tune, I can't help but hear it in my head as I read along.

But if I don't know the tune, I am free to focus just on the lyric.

A trade-off, I guess.

TOD:

DOING THEATRE, REhEARSING A SHOW, SEEING AN AUDIENCE AGAIN....which is why I volunteered to take tickets EVERY night of Hunchback of Notre Dame....since I don't come on until more than an hour after the beginning of the show.

Of course I will wear a mask and use gloves just to make everyone comfortable.

I screwed up last October when I winterized my bed. I took the comforter out of my cedar trunk and closed it up. I discovered yesterday, when I took the comforter off the bed, that I locked the trunk. I have no idea where the hell the key is, and I now have no idea where to store this damned comforter!

I have not walked up to the pit to see if our musicians are using electronic music, but that may be the case. When the pianist was playing down by the stage earlier, I don't remember seeing a music book there.

I shall have to investigate. This is a most interesting development.

Is an electronic score included in the rental materials or available for download by those who do the show? So many questions.

When things open back up, I will be doing what I did most of last year, sitting about the apartment wishing I could move without the walker, hoping the phone will ring with work, looking for a literary agent, wanting a sherpa to help me in this apartment, and battling cancer.

The more things change, the more they remain the same.

We need more photos! Also, how large is your band?

The Locked Cedar Trunk.

Wasn't that a Nancy Drew mystery?

A member of my DH's temple turned 111 yesterday. I've seen her on Zoom; she's as spry and as with it as ever.
