It is freezing ion this apartment. I don't think I've worn this many clothes in ages.

I walked to the bank and got singles. Since my accountant will be in tomorrow, I booked trips with Access-a-Ride to deliver those 1099s to him.

My back is still bothering me. I am not happy.

In 1994. my phone rang, and when I picked it up, a boivr I did not recognize asked, Is this Larry Moore?

I said, yes, it was, and the voice said, This is Tony Walton. I've just listened to "Unsung Sondheim" and your orchestrations are fantastic!

After a pause, I asked, Who is this really?

Well, it actually was Tony Walton. I don't believe I actually met him until Twiggy's album. When he was designing the revival of Annie Get Your Gun, he told me I should be doing the orchestrations and urged me to call John McDaniel, who, despite his assurances to submit me, never did. Tony did, however, did ask me to orchestrate Where's Charley? at Goodspeed in 2004. His production was hilarious, everything John Doyle's maladroit production for Encores! should have been.

He tried to get Busker Alley off the ground for Jim Dale - I was going to orchestrate it - but it never took. I didn't see him after that, but last year the cast of Where's Charley? and I had a Zoom meeting with him and Gen for his birthday. He was a very dear man.

Very nice, Larry.

Break legs to DR GEORGE & Co. May the Guiding Light take them through The Days of Our Lives and past The Edge of Night where there are many Dark Shadows.

Thanks, Jrand!

Yes, that's such a wonderful story.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #71 on:** March 04, 2022, 12:25:09 PM »

As is BK's.

You two were sure blessed when Mr. Walton came down the pike.

Thanks, DR Jane. I don't own a wrist guard, but it sounds like I had better get one!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #73 on:** March 04, 2022, 12:29:35 PM »

I forget what my wrist thing is called, it was $20-something at CVS, but there are days when it's a life saver.

Nothing wrong with actual size photos, Jane.

That is way bigger than my little wrist

Got my hep B shot. Hoping for no reaction.

I don't recall any reactions, aside from a mildly sore arm. Good luck.

Mine is $9.00 on Amazon. I can't always find them in the stores. I always travel with it so have a tendency to lose them and own extras. If I forget to wear it while pulling my carryon bag my wrist hurts.

Jane · « **Reply #77 on:** March 04, 2022, 12:42:40 PM »

Of all the wrist supports I have had over the years I like this one the best.

The interview thing with Cindy was amazingly fun. I'll try to find out where and when it goes up - it's for Rotten Tomatoes and this woman LOVES the movie - saw it when it came out.

Then I picked up a fantastic package I've been waiting for - several ORIGINAL Harvey Schmidt cover paintings for the Ben Bagley albums - they're incredible and off to the framers we go. There's one hand-colored Xerox thing, but all the others are the original paintings from scratch - those are the ones I'll frame and they're just beautiful.

Very nice remembrances of Tony Walton by BK and DR elmore

Thanks for mentioning "Canucke," DR Jennifer. Now I'm doing Wordle, Quordle, and Canuckle.

Good morning.

I cannot think how it happened, but I got 10 hours of sleep! It must have been the end result of all my activity yesterday afternoon. I'll have to do that walking thing again.

Yes, do that walking thing every day.

I did do that walking thing today Oddly enough, I imagine passing drivers saw an odd figure shuffling along at a pitiful pace. Today, the effort was greater than it was yesterday.

I did some stretching before and after. That felt normal even if the sluggish pace of walking a simple quarter-mile didn't.

The main problem is that I am overusing my right leg because the tweak is on my left side, and I feel it every time I lift my left leg.

Sigh.

Nice box full MR BK.

I got mine at the Dollar Tree - when it was still The Dollar Tree.....it's nice and blue and fits very well even after almost 8 years.

I stopped by Third Generation at 11 a.m. to get some lunch. Baked catfish, grits, cabbage and black-eyed peas. Brought it home and ate in front of the TV. Had unsweetened iced tea.

I loved Walton's art direction for 1978 movie version of "The Wiz".
