Well, you've read the notes, you know many things for having read the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - it will be quite some time before they come home because, as we all know, cows never jump the gun.

You need a docent piece of bamboo for effective Bastinado. That should bring moisture to the eyes of DR Jed.  Lovely song by the Eagles.  "Bastinado"

Earl Grant had a lovely version of "The House Of Bamboo".
Rosemary Clooney and Guy Mitchell (understandably) prefered "The House Of Singing Bamboo".

TOTD: Not sure what we will watch tonight.  Maybe "Japanese Story".

CD: I've been 50 years late in discovering the world of Joni James. Her voice is a delight.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DR ARNOLD M. BROCKMAN!!

In my DVD player:  nothing

In my CD player:  nothing

In my VCR (and the reason that nothing is in my DVD or CD players):  a tape to tape tonight's Seattle Storm women's basketball game that my niece and I are actually going to!  She loves the Storm (I've mentioned that bit of information before ::)) and got a 10-ticket package, so this is one of the games that I have to take her to.  MAYBE we'll be seen on TV...but not very likely.  The seats are somewhere low, but in the corner behind the Storm benches.  They don't usually show that too often, but you never know.  

Anyway, we're going to leave for Seattle either late in the morning or very early in the afternoon.  Today is also the Northwest Folklife Festival at the Seattle Center, which is where the Key Arena is, which is where the Seattle Storm play.  It will be VERY CROWDED!!

So, I'm off to bed and a long sleep.

BK, great Broadwayworld and Playbill announcements!  And nice pictures!!

DR WFO, thank you for The New College Horse photos and the description. I thought the college was for horses or was for studying about horses. I like that beautiful shaped horse likes as Thoroughbred.

Dear Jane, good thoughts and hugs to you.

I'm listening to the OBC of Guys and Dolls right now. Stubby Kaye is singing Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat.

It's a half day at work so I won't be listening to much today. I'm leaving around 11:45am. We have a full weekend ahead. Anthony's show closes on Sunday and he's preparing to leave for Virginia on Monday morning around 6am. We have laundry to do, packing, a closing night party on Sunday and we have to sqeeze some down time in there too, just to be alone for a few minutes before he's gone for six weeks.

That being said, once I leave the office I probably won't be around much until Monday.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MR. BROCKMAN Senior!

Readers Digest, Guy Lombardo, Rogers Peet, golf, galoshes, Ovaltine

Rogers, Peet & Co. was founded Nov. 6, 1874 through the merger of the clothing firms of Marvin N. Rogers and Charles Bostwick Peet (1837-1902). Rogers, Peet featured men's and boys' wearing apparel (suits, coats, jackets, pants, shirts, hats, neckties, underwear, gloves, socks, belts (you name it!)), then much later added women's apparel (coats, slacks, sweaters). The main store at 42nd Street had entrances both at 16 E. 42nd and at 479-481 5th Ave. This was the final surviving Rogers, Peet store, which closed in the mid-1980s.

Good morning, all! Back down to the recording office today, and I have no plans beyond that.  

DRGeorge, thanks for the program notes on MEASURE FOR MEASURE; as with most director's notes, I like to see what's been done before deciding the thoughts on paper actually end up on the stage.  Stephen Hanan, of the original Broadway casat for CATS, wrote an interesting musical version of MEASURE FOR MEASURE in the late 1970s called TROUBLE IN PARADISE, as I recall, and set in a military basearound 1910.  There were a couple of wonderful songs in it.

DRJane, my heart bleeds for your loss.  I know how much Bogie meant to you and what affection and care you gave him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DRARNOLD M. BROCKMAN!!!

Car CD player: A Year With Frog and Toad again.  We're ladsitting today, once more.  At least we've weaned them off of Tarzan for a moment.

DVD player: Der Brucer was watching Spy Game yesterday, a Robert Redford/Brad Pitt teaming.  Then he watched it again and listened to the commentary track.  Snoozey.

DRs Elmore and Tomovoz: When can we expect comparisons of your pain meds?  And the loopy side effects?  Not that I ever want to be where you two have been, but sometimes these things are interesting and worth keeping in mind.

Vibes to you both!  And it's good to know you're both doing better!  (Even somewhat!)

Addendum to the car CD player:

Der Brucer bought Elton John's Greatest Hits recently, and wants to introduce the lads to the short guy.  That gets added to the car stack.

I've some thoughts on why our dear BK has become disenchanted with Alias, but we need to get on the road in the next few minutes, and I don't have time to write them up.

Later!

iPod:  Pippin OCR  --  This recording has always been a bit of an oddball.  With its lack of a synopsis and with almost all of the Fosse theatrical influences stripped away, one would really have no idea of what was happening on stage when listening to it (at least, that was my experience years ago, before I saw the show.)  Also, the cast is all over the place as far as staying on key or sustaining notes is concerned (and I'm convinced that Jill Clayburgh's "Kind Of Woman" was spliced together from several takes as she seems to never take a breath throughout long stretches of the song--try singing along with her, note for note, to see what I mean.)

The thing is, the recording plays so damn well!  It is one of a few cast recordings that I can truly play again and again and again.  The tunes are beyond catchy, the cast is fun to listen to and the recording overall evokes memories of a time when I first took an active interest in Broadway and Musical Theatre.  This one will always be a top favorite of mine.
