The new refrigerator has been installed. Freezer foods are put away.

I need to get back to work, but still have plenty of condiments and other items to get in.

Wordle: 6/6 I really didn't think I'd get it today.

Speaking of the HHW gathering, I'm still wondering if you have any idea when it might be, BK.

TOD

We had moved from Columbus to Fort Lauderdale, and I had seen community productions and a few regional and stock productions that included Kenley Players and the like, but nothing totally professional yet. The lightning bolt event that immediately and directly influenced me was a community production of (wait for it) The Threepenny Opera.

I was there by myself in my early teens and knew no one there, but I met some people including the MD/pianist. I was blown away by the whole thing, and returned either the following night or the following weekend, and he invited me to sit next to the piano and observe. They apparently even trusted me with a score, because I remember hand-copying the song from the handwritten one that wasn't in the published vocal score.

EDIT: ("Ballad of Dependency")

Good morning.

I woke up yesterday morning with my back feeling very bruised. I have no idea what I could have done during the night to hurt myself.

Luckily I have a checkup this week to look at my blood test results, so I can have the doctor take a look then, if it's still bothering me.

We had a really BIG storm blow in last night. I don't even think it was in the forecast.

TOD: My first professional show was a tour of A Chorus Line. I got a seat in the back row of Phoenix Symphony Hall. I wanted to see it because my older sister had an LP of the show, and I played it all the time when I was alone in the house.

She had taken me to see a couple of high school musicals, and of course, I saw the musicals when I was in high school.

The show that hooked me was Phantom of the Opera, which I still love, except they ruined it when they restaged the tour several years ago.

That is an amazing memory/story, DR ChasSmith!

singdaw · « **Reply #45 on:** September 12, 2022, 07:52:43 AM »

My memory is that when I was starting out on piano lessons, one day I found the vocal score of West Side Story on one of the pianos in her studio and asked to borrow it. I was thrilled visually by the layout in the score of the Quintet. I followed along with the cast recording, and I was hooked from that moment forward.

DR John G., compliments on your condiments.

Really enjoying the theater memories.

Refrigerator is now largely stocked. I have a few wine bottles to fit in. They’re the last of it.

We have had rain the last three days, and nothing was in the forecast.

I suppose the timing is good.

I have read a favorable review for the forthcoming Glass Onion, a sequel to Knives Out.

My sister is home from Maryland and stopped by so we did some accounting/estate business and visited for quite awhile.

Very nice.

I went down to visit my brother who has the two new stents and took him a book titled CARS about CARS.

Lots of nice photos and drawings and information about many CARS.

Hmmmm.....TOD:

I saw Miss Frances Farmer do The Seagull at Purdue University....and my uncle took me to see Lucille Ball in WILDCAT....which was thrilling...although when she wasn't on the stage - I wasn't much interested. And I kept standing up to see better and the man behind me kept pushing me down by my shoulders..... I was 9 years old....or maybe my late 8th year.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #59 on:** September 12, 2022, 10:47:07 AM »

I saw a few high school shows and then saw the touring company of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF - and that was so wonderful and terrific I decided that that was what I wanted to do.

We had a few cast albums and I started buying as many as I could find at yard sales and discount record stores....usually for fifty cents or less.
