But I have a whole bunch of various cast recordings of the musical.
Last night I watched most of the new DVD of one of my favorite operas, The Turn of the Screw. It's well conducted by my friend John Wilson, but the production had two problems: the concept and the fact it wasn't scary.
Just grabbed a cold Italian sub at a favorite pizza joint. They still had one of my reviews up on the wall. Nice.
What’s your favorite Bill Nighy performance?

She also mows the empty lots across the street. She asked if we wanted her to continue. I said yes. She keeps coming. But I can’t get her to invoice us. I walked outside with cash once, she was like, “no I need to invoice you. That’s on me.” I literally can’t pay this person! Maybe there is something she would rather have than cash.Mrs. R might have something to say about that

He climbed up his stairs and back down today which I am very pleased to report
I hear tell Bruce has an aversion to this page
DR JANE it is just a regular gas push mower....20" cut, I think. DR RODZINSKI - my house is on a corner....my yard measured by the houses across the street is as wide as a driveway, a front yard, and second driveway, another front yard, a THIRD driveway and about 1/4 of that front yard.....and then a side yard - to say nothing of the back yard which is average size.It is not hilly but there is an incline toward the house from the street.....I have to say that my brother in law almost always mows the front/side with his riding mower. I only do it myself once or twice a year and the backyard has a small storage barn and clothesline poles and a rock garden and a deck and flowers and the Pet Semetary.....so I am not sure that a self propelled mower would be easy to use around all of those obstacles.
I have avoided an electric mower because most of the batteries last an hour - and it takes me more than an hour to do the job.....We shall see what we shall see.
And lots of laundry to do
How many channels did everyone have when they were growing up....before cable?We had four channels and then five when PBS showed up in the late sixties.WLWI was ABC, WFBM was NBC, WISH was CBS, and WTTV was an independent station.
I did not see a color photograph of Van Cliburn until he was on the cover of LIFE magazine - when I discovered he had RED hair.I was sure that we would be married and live a lovely life in Texas, his home state. And as I have written before I thought Van Cliburn was his last name, so I searched in vain to discover what his first name might be.I decided that I would just call him Tex Van Cliburn when we were out on a date.
Growing up in Chicagoland we had on the VHF BandABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, WGN the big local with Bozo's Circus.UHF hadSpanish Channel 26, WFLD Channel 32 reruns and old movies, Channel 44 reruns, cartoons and old movies until it was taken over and turned into a wavy pay-movie channel. Channel 60 and 66. Interchangeable. One started out as a music-video channel. And Channel 50, run out of a local high school in St. John, Indiana. Maybe one other Spanish channel.
On the other hand, at the Big Apple Film Festival they're screening episode one of Sami in the Greenwich Village. I'll put the details in but I'd love someone to attend and film so I can hear the reaction. We're trying to get Sami to attend as there'll be a brief Q&A afterwards.
