My longtime friend, actress Bridget Hanley, has died.  :-(

[bk]

I'm up, I'm up - about six hours of sleep due to ABS (Active Brain Syndrome).

[bk]

I heard about Bridget two days ago. She's been struggling for many years now.

I just heard last night.

I knew her for almost 60 years.  We went to college together.

DR Jrand71, I have perused the two houses. Very nice. They look cared for and very presentable, ready to sell.

I want to see them once we finally make it home.  Internet service is very spotty on our mountain drive

A question for the universe:

Could someone PLEASE make a macadamia cookie that doesn't include the obligatory "white chocolate"?

Perhaps....
Macadamia CRANBERRIES ??       

Yum.

[Jane]

Remember in the movie The Greatest Show On Earth when the train with the circus performers was barreling down the track and ran into the stopped animal train and chaos ensued?

Well that is me today.....my aunt called to say that her refrigerator was leaking and she had to stay home and wait for the repair man today.

Since she is first in line to get her "memory" and check out the inventory.....so we are STOPPED until her fridge is repaired.....who knows how long it will take?

More vibes dealing with this.

[Jane]

And maybe a run to See's Candies.

You have a See's store there?

That is sad.

I just received the piano/celeste book for How to Succeed. They're using the reduced orchestration for ten players. It's a departure for this college because they always use full orchestrations and hire accordingly. This is for Covid.

DR Elmore: Do you know when the reduced score was created? These books are still handwritten, and only the original version of the show is available, not the revivals. MTI doesn't show a piano/celeste book for the standard orchestration. Is that correct, or an omission?

Questions, questions. If you don't mind, I'll scan and email a couple of pages so you can see how familiar this book looks to you.

We turned in the new edition three years agfo - maybe four - and MTI has done nothing with it. As to your inquiry, I rememebr absolutely nothing about my work on the score. I didn't even know there was a 10-piece reduction!

Amazing, that they've just sat on it.

Which sounds ungracious.

If it were only because of Covid...

But everybody and his brother can, and does, use that as an excuse. And it does seems like a long time ago because I vaguely remember you showing me a piece of that on a visit way back when.

I shall now be on my way to lunch with Richard Sherman, then to the Apple Store.

My sympathies.

I had positive news about the recording project this morning, and after a telephone chat with Jack Viertel, we added a fourth show to the proposal.

I lost an MTI job today because Covid has canceled so many shows there's not enough revenue coming in to make the work financially necessary at hte moment.

Now that is some promising news. Please, universe...

Friday evening greetings!  We’ve had a quiet day here.  I did a little more decking of the hall and Richard folded some laundry.  Then we both took naps.

Once we finish the budgets, we'll make a proposal for the four showsd, three to be recorded in Dublin, hopefully, and one in Manhattan. I cannot state the titles until we know the project is on or off. If on, we still need to get the rights for two of the shows. The other two are Public Domain.

You'll be very happy about one of them!

Thanks DR JANE.

[Jrand73]

It would be nice if I don't have to do anything tomorrow but my sister seemed mad that I asked her not to text me unless it was important......

[Jrand73]

Lots of stuff done this week so at least we're moving forward.

And unlike DR JOHN G our internet is not acting up.....yet.

[Jrand73]

Sad news about Bridget Hanley - I only know her from HERE COME THE BRIDES.....

[elmore3003]

I really don't know if these rape allegations about Chris Not are true, but a violinist I worked with in the 1990s told me that she often saw him in the coffee shop of the first floor of her apartment building, and he was very abusive to his girlfriend.

I have no excuse for being tardy the past few days.

I have busied myself with various, sundry and stupid things and tended to virtually nothing that needed doing.  Oh, I managed to make my doctor's appointment Wednesday in Augusta GA, and I managed to go to the VA in Aiken SC on Tuesday for blood work. 

However, I never got to Sam's Club or CostCo.  Don't ask me why, but I just couldn't work up any enthusiasm for it.

All I want for Christmas is some enthusiasm.
