WRITING MUSICALS IS HARD
« on: November 14, 2021, 12:03:23 AM »

Well, you've read the notes, writing the notes was a lot easier than writing a musical, and now it is time for you to post until the writing a musical cows come home.

I had another bad night of sleep so I turned off the alarm and slept an extra hour to my delight and the cats' dismay.

I plan to move about today quite cautiously. Yesterday was a bit fraught, but I have a few things to write about the three proposed shows before I send the info to Dublin for budgets.

BK, from the amount of cut material, it looks as though most of Act One of The Most Happy Fella was rewritten our of town.

It has been snowing here since 8 a.m.  Nothing on the streets, but the yard and sidewalks and cars are covered.

I shall being going to my uncle's house in a bit.  I have to drive Smarty because my brother wanted to park his car in my driveway for a couple of hours YESTERDAY and it's still there.....blocking Petey Cruiser.

One question that I have always had that was never answered during the trial but perhaps it was touched on in the dickumentary - uh - I mean DOCumentary about the Lorena Bobbit.

How could she drive the car for several miles with a knife in one hand and her husband's you know in her other hand?  How could she even get it started without a free hand? 

That was her claim.....she had both objects until she tossed one out the window.
