Well, you've read the notes, the notes were simple and Simonized, and now it it time for you to post until the simple cows come home.

And the word of the day is: VIGNETTE!

About the Special Roadshow Edition of Thoroughly Modern Millie, I didn't know about buying it from Kino. I bought a new copy from an Amazon market seller with a 97% positive feedback rating, not Amazon-proper.

It's due to arrive between September 23rd and 28th.

Good morning, all!

I slept okay while Annabelle and Thatch kept me company. Around 4:00 Annabelle rose from her pillow and abandoned me. Thatch followed her, then returned. When the alarm rang at 5:30, I turned it off and went back to sleep for around 45 minutes.

I only remember one dream, something about meeting DR Ginny and my mother outside a building where I had an office, elevator issues, and catching a bus at 48th Street and Broadway.

Today would have been John McGlinn's 68th birthday. I owe the first part of my recording career to him and I learned much about musical theatre restoration and reconstruction from him. Working with him between 1984 and 1990 were some of the best working experiences I ever had, but as John's success rose, his personal demons - and there were too many, including superiority to cover his insecurity, vanity, and believing his own oress - did their best to kibosh him. There are days I want to dig him up to kick his ass and other days where I wish we were still friends and working on something.

So, I'm offering two of my favorite unreleased recordings from McGlinn's failed Packard Humanities Institute project. Yjr first is probably my favorite Victor Herbert number, ever, from Babes in Toyland, sung by Elizabeth Futral:

The second is from Jerome Kern's 1917 Princess Theatre show Oh, Lady! Lady!, sung by Rebecca Luker and George Dvorsky, in Frank Saddler's original 19-piece orchestration:

I need to vacuum today. I have no real plans beyond that.

Thank you, DR elmore3003.

I slept well last night.

Will I get anything done today? We’ll see.

That was nice DR ELMORE. Barnum enjoyed those tracks, too.

So what is additional on the roadshow MILLIE?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 18, 2021, 06:47:30 AM »

Thanks to MR BK for the Opening Night Report!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #19 on:** September 18, 2021, 06:48:11 AM »

tonight is our CLOSING NIGHT - and that's all right with me. I've been working on shows and driving 70 miles a day since April - so a break is in order.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #20 on:** September 18, 2021, 06:48:36 AM »

Did I miss a photo of DR GINNY's new front porch - or is it still a work in progress?

I'm up, I'm up - only about three and a half hours of sleep.

I'm going to my first thing this evening, too: The Doll's House: Part 2. I do not know the original Ibsen play, I'm sorry to say, but apparently you don't have to for this. We'll see.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #26 on:** September 18, 2021, 07:43:55 AM »

Thank you for the beautiful songs, DR Elmore.

Slept in this morning, which always results in interesting dreams. Nothing in particular to write about, but that ground is always fertile.

It's not the same as the musical sequel, A Doll's Life.
