Bruce did you read that Primo’s Donuts has moved into Stan's spot in Westwood?

I've never even heard of Primo's, let alone Stan's. ::)

 ;)

I have talked a lot about Stan's ;)

Obviously, I didn't remember. ;D

Watching Original Cast Album: Company. I haven't seen this in ages, and I'm loving every minute of it.

Well, darn...it's official:
Quote
It is with a heavy heart that we announce we must postpone our production of The HEAD! that wouldn't DIE! 3D.
With the rise in covid numbers and the intimate nature of the performance space,  TAO has decided it is prudent to go into hibernation for a bit longer.The cast and crew have put a ton of work in, and the show is looking splendid. Each one has committed to mount this production as soon as possible. We are all looking forward to a March run of the show.
We would like to thank BOP for both their support and understanding with this decision and their support of this project.
Don't worry we'll be back. You can't keep a good head down.
Stay safe. We love you.

Finished with my viewing, did a Ralph's run for liquid refreshment - so much cheaper than Gelson's for Diet Coke and the Sparkling Ice drinks. And butter two bucks less than the same exact thing at Gelson's.

I had an hour chat with Cindy Williams - hadn't heard from her about the piece of special material I'd written for her, but turns out she and her director loved it. She changed a couple of words, and other than that there was just one line in the third verse that didn't feel right to her, so I just rewrote that whole verse and made it funnier and sent it off to her. So, she's in LA in a week and we'll get together, set a key that works, and I'll have a track made for her. I made a few suggestions about how to stage it and she liked them.

In her show, getting through the early part of her life was apparently lugubrious, not fun, and taking too long. She and her director thought maybe I could write some special lyrics for I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General - so I had her send me bullet points of what she wanted to cover. But in looking at that song's wordy lyrics and the rhyme scheme and syllables, there was no way it was going to work. Plus, I felt no one would know the tune. What came to me instantly was to write specialty lyrics to The Ballad of Davy Crockett, called The Ballad of Cindy Williams - they loved that idea and I wrote it and finessed it and it came out really well, I thought. And I'm pretty sure she'll love the newly-revised verse three.

That's pretty cool!

I'm not watching them, but I'm recording them for my niece.

I didn't watch the Emmys. I hadn't seen most of the shows. But I look forward to the tacky fashions tomorrow.

And grocery shopping after the church gig.

I had to do a little shopping for my sister today, too.

I'll record a DVD of it for my niece, and probably watch bits of it while it's recording to my computer.
