Starting Ride the High Country, which I think was on JRand’s best western list this past week.

Plumber finally finished and all is well. Whatever that huge machine was it was able to clean out and clear some roots and everything should be fine - we ran the shower and it drained quickly and the toilets are flushing and water level is now good.

Whew!

Stupendous stage productions. That's good stuff.

If I sort my iTunes library by date added, Ethel Merman's disco album sidles up next to Bach Cantatas, Volume 1. That seems about right.

Another friend of mine was at that same performance apparently, DR ChasSmith.

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Does anyone...still wear...a watch?

I see more smartwatches all day the time.

I refuse to get one.

I’m trying to talk WFO into getting a smartwatch on which he would capable of calling 911 once he’s home alone again

Ride the High Country is one of the greats, and you will see no finer performances on the screen than Randolph Scott and especially Joel McCrea.

A group of my friends saw it last week, and we’ll compare notes soon. How did your friends like it?

I loved it. Great cast right down to Warren Oates and Edgar Buchanan.

It wasn't on my list, but it should have been.

Well, peoples, I had a stupendous afternoon seeing a flawed and rarely performed R&H musical ... produced and performed spectacularly.

Messrs. Chapin and Hammerstein, to condense and paraphrase a 25-minute talkback, said it was hands down the best they've ever seen. Chapin had only seen some eight productions in his 40 or so years with R&H, and this blew every last one of them out of the water.

More tomorrow, when I can check over my photographic evidence. Nothing of the show itself, as they are very strict about that, but there should be a few things worth posting.

That's so cool, ChasSmith. I wonder if a production is going to tour. Do you know if the script been updated in any way, or was it just the production itself that was really good?

The opening of Peter Marks’s review of King Lear:

Patrick Page got to me. By that I mean Page gets it so right as the vain, aging ruler stripped of dignity and, ultimately, sanity that Shakespeare Theatre Company’s “King Lear” stands as one of the best versions of the tragedy I’ve ever seen. Maybe even the best.

Wow! That's quite a review!
