Good morning, all! Yes, indeedy, last night's margarita event was a lovely social gathering to make the Algonquin roundtable look like amateurs! Reputations were made or destroyed, many ears burned, several butts were kicked around the block, and several worthies were reduced to complete rubble. I'm sorry to hear TPunk's dinner was not a success. I enjoyed my dinner immensely, but after two margaritas they could have served me Alpo. My three good compatriots are some of the best, salt of the earth, and I'm privileged to call them friends.
So, today's another trip to Toyland, where my colleague Mr Murray and I will work on final edits for several numbers. Yesterday, we did final edits on my favorite Toyland song "Jane, Jane, Jane," "With Downcqast Eye," "The Men," and something else I've forgotten. Today, we'll hopefully tackle the problems of the Act One Finale, which are close to driving me to drink, and tomorrow I want to look at the various versions we have of "He Won't Be Happy Till He Gets It" in an attempt to get back to the original scoring of 1903. When I return, I've several hours of DARLING OF THE DAY awaiting me.
