Well, you've read the notes, you've been through the thick and thin of the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the fighting cows come home.

Well, as I was saying... ;)

Oh..

Steve was playing me the recording of their last concert which had a Broadway theme.  They did an arrangement of "Don't Rain On My Parade".   -Hey, I don't pick their material... In any case...

I thought I had heard a messed up lyric so I asked Steve to replay it for me...  Then he showed me his music...

Instead of "Hey, Mr. Ziegfled, Here I am."  or "Mr. Arnstein...."  The arranger modified the lyric to:

"Hey, I'm still here, still here I am."

WHAT?!?!?!?

Hmmm...

As for breakfast...  Two places/menus:

Paris, overlooking the Seine - freshly baked croissants, butter, confiture, cafe au lait

Tokyo (or somewhere in the Japanese countryside) - salmon ochazuke: rice, salmon (baked or tea-cured), wasabi, Sencha green tea - all served in one bowl as a sort of soup.

-Is ochazuke served for breakfast, DR Hisaka?  Or are onigiri more appropriate?

OK... I'm waaaay past tired... Must sleep soon.

-I'm not sure if I'll be adventuring out tomorrow - the temp may not be "cooling" as previously forecasted, so...

I'll see how I feel when I get up.

Goodnight.

Thanks.  We know that it has.  Two of my co-workers have died of cancer. :'( One just this past December.

Well, since today is Sunday, I would want to wake up in New York City and I would have brunch at the Palm Court at The Plaza (someone else is buying, aren't they?).

I've just taken my NyQuil.  That stuff wipes me out.  Hopefully, I'll be able to get a nice long sleep.  I'll be looking forward to the report on the second night of the Bacharach show.

"Tabatha" (the original pilot episode) was cute...not fabulously funny, but cute.  And the actress playing Tabatha was a bit too perky.  But it was fun watching our very own BK!  He's quite dashing as Adam.  And the episode was 25 minutes long!  That's only five, count 'em, FIVE minutes of time available for commercials!  Times have changed...and not necessarily for the better. :P

Most of the episode was about Tabatha trying to work up the nerve to "come out" to her boyfriend Cliff that she's a witch, which Adam (her brother, played by BK) really wants her to do.  After she does, Cliff can't really take it.  He goes to a bar and Adam (through witchcraft) makes the bartender go outside.  Adam pretends to be the "friendly substitute mixologist" and speaks with Cliff about his problems...that his (Cliff's) girl is a witch.  "You're not a bigot, are you?" Adam asks.  "No honest!" Cliff says.  "I just didn't know that there were such things as witches."  "Well, it's a sign of the times," Adam says.  "Gay power, gray power, fat power...everybody's coming out of the closet these days.  Just remember pal, it takes all kinds."  A rather accepting attitude for a show back then to take, in my humble opinion. :)

I'm now going to watch the Lisa Hartman pilot of "Tabitha" and see what that's all about.

Brennon's for Breakfast in New Orleans would suit me just fine.

For whoever mentioned it, I have it on rather good authority that the reissues of MERRILY, etc., won't have as many "bonus" as previously announced.

4am, and it is so hot that I've spent the night reading the second half of Rupert Holmes' new mystery, Swing, which I rather enjoyed... Sleep does not come easy in PA, I'm telling you that.

Well, I watched the Lisa Hartman pilot of "Tabitha" and I must admit that she seems much more natural than Liberty, who played Tabatha (and smiled too much) to BK's Adam.  But I didn't really like the episode.  I forget who, but someone earlier this week said that it was just like the original "Bewitched" but with Adam playing the Darrin role.  It was. :P I like the characterization of Adam in the original pilot.  BK was a much better Adam. :) Anyway, I'll watch the rest of the episodes later.

BK asked last night if this was a holiday weekend.  Well it is here.  But I'm just one person!

Gosh the humidity was just sweltering, and it looks like it will continue all week.  It shows a humidex of 40C (which must be around 100F?).

BK have you tried echinachea (sp?) for a sore throat.  I always take that, and I really like cepacol to soothe the throat.

Good morning, all!  I 've been up since 5:30, I'm washed, dressed, and feeling quite disoriented.  I have to put in some time this morning on the Act Two cello book for THE GOLDEN APPLE before I subway down to 14th Street and the recording office.  I need to photocopy some things I need for the DC trip on Wed, and pack up anything else I need to take with me.

Yesterday, Tom Murray and I did the final edit on "The Healthfood Man," a comedy song from Act One in BABES IN TOYLAND, I filed away more of the litter on my desk, and then I went to the NYPL to look for a BABES scrapbook that's been misplaced since 2003.  It's still missing, and now I've got two librarians promising me it will turn up; this was my fourth search for it in two years, and I'm feeling a bit discouraged by the NYPL at the moment.  Luckily, there are a lot of other BABES scrapbooks, but I need this one.  Now!

Breakfast anywhere?  As long as it's not coffee and oatmeal in this apartment, anywhere else sounds good.

Scary but that is what came to my mind first.

BUT

If I was in Montreal today, as I should have been, my family and I probably would have been enjoying dim sum.

I am going to put a plug in for divarobbie's upcoming cd.

I think his song list is quite interesting with a number of songs that have not been recorded before (premieres) or not usually recorded by male singers

take a look
