Two more book rejections this morning. I may do a few more submissions today.

I haven't quite awakened yet although I slept rather well. I had a peculiar dream in which my brother Macbeth and I - who seemed to be both around 12 and 70 - stayed for a few days with one of our childhood friends. In the dream his house was in a jungle of some sorts with elephants, giraffes, etc. Then someone or something was poisoning the animals; they wrinkled, shrunk, and turned black as they died, like flowers without water.

It's a rainy day. I am happy to be inside.

DR TCB, is Buddy okay?

Last night I watched to film Gypsy, which I hadn't seen in years. I'm not always fond of the screenplay's changes, although I can see why a few were necessary, and I loathed Rose's narration, but I really was moved by it. I remember seeing it on its first release and admiring the desolation of that set for the train station for "Everything's Coming Up Roses" and how chilling that song is in context, but this time around I was moved by Russell, Malden, and Natalie Wood in the last scenes of the movie.

In summer 1973, when I worked box office at the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, I met Faith Dane. I just loved her, and her Mazeppa is such a hoot. When I worked at The Drama Book Shop in the 1980s, she was once again suing for a piece of Gypsy and she enlisted the owner's help. She never did win her case.

The disc's special features include the cut "Together Wherever We Go" and the full-length "You'll Never Get Away From Me," and I wish they had not been cut.

Thank you for that link, DR Elmore. I’ll take anything Schmidt-and-Jones I can get.

A couple of those pages are very slow loading on a tablet, or at least this old iPad, so I’ll check it out thoroughly on the computer later.

My one real fear, and regret, over the cancellation of The Fantasticks this year is that I may not ever get to see Tom Jones again. Even now, it was unlikely that he’d have been able to come down for it. But one always hopes, doesn’t one.

Lovely notes. The show was okay last night.....when Mr. Henderson got out onstage I couldn't get the briefcase open...so I didn't have my file folder.....but it got some nice laughs, etc.

And Mr. Kolenkhov was most popular with the populace particularly during the wrestling scene......

I just got an email from Dan Shaheen and he writes this:
Tom is going still going strong. Speak with him almost daily so I will definitely send him your love. His son Michael and wife just had a baby so Tom is now a grandfather! Also if you get Encore Monthly there is a nice feature on Tom and the new website.

What is Encore Monthly?

I just got a message that we may need to postpone The HEAD! That Wouldn't DIE!! until March. A decision will be made before the end of the month. $:-\$
