Not sure we'll have much action in the next hour or two and then it will all be whether someone will come in at the end to take us to 150%. It's possible, certainly, and I'm hoping it happens.

So, the program said they were going to sing An Ordinary Couple, but they sang Something Good anyway. I like the music to that song, but really dislike Richard Rodgers’s lyrics.

The production was fine with some 20 or so great sounding nuns. The Maria was tall, taller than all but one in the cast. The Von Trapp had a bad voice but had good chemistry with Maria.

I have all of the Trotter Sondheim recordings. I found them in a music store on Ventura Blvd, many years ago.

Does anyone have Anthony de Mare’s “Liasons- interpretations of Sondheim’s music?
Unusual and innovative.
I really like it.
Probably not everyone’s cup of tea, but worth a listen, IMHO.

Finished writing episode three. I'll futz and finesse it tomorrow, then on to episode four - I already know what that one is, so hopefully it will write itself quickly.

Oh, those Michelle Nicastro recordings. SO good.
I loved her albums so much.
Loved her as a person, too.
I get emotional listening to her.

Fading fast.
Looking forward to seeing the final Indiegogo numbers.
I predict excellent results.
Good night, all.

I had contributed to a few on Kickstarter before that, but that was my first on Indiegogo.

A phone call would have killed them?

Did they at least give you lettuce or mayo?


No, and I would have been upset had they.

Vixmom, how was the concert?
I have always loved Chicago, and The Beach Boys.
Or, I guess the “newly reconstituted” Beach Boys.

I also ripped the CDs to MP3s and reordered them into the songbook order so I could follow along straight through without having to go back and forth between the individual titles and the index.
