And here we are...only four pages away from Page 7.

I am hoping this year's Tony Awards show sets a precedent for brevity while celebrating achievement. Perhaps the Oscar show producers could use it as a model for future shows of theirs.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #63 on:** May 20, 2023, 08:05:52 AM »

I didn't mind the length of the Oscar show while I lived in Oakland for 25 years. It was always over by 10 p.m.

Here on the east coast, I haven't the energy to stay up past midnight for anything...not even that stupid ball that drops on New Year's Eve.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #64 on:** May 20, 2023, 08:07:37 AM »

Oddly, I don't often get to bed before midnight, but that's because I am doing something I "want" to do rather than something I "expect of myself".

Given my usual disappointment with the results of the Oscars, my expectations are nil. I can see the fun moment or two of the show on YouTube.

I have no idea where this stream of consciousness is coming from. It certainly doesn't seem like it's coming from above my neck, but who knows!!

Maybe it's that "bit of undigested beef" from Larry's fun with "A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong."

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #66 on:** May 20, 2023, 08:11:33 AM »

Here I sit...all alone...with ZERO guests to keep me company.

Sigh.

Have a great day, everyone!

If there will even be one...I haven't heard anything about one.

Has there ever been an occasion when there wasn't one??

They may be waiting for someone to bring it up and volunteer to organize it.

This is the first SPSCC* Theatre Collective show that I've been in.

I would hope that they have a regular cast party procedure for each show...maybe opening night or after the final show?

George · « **Reply #69 on:** May 20, 2023, 08:14:08 AM »

We're only playing two weekends, and several people have been coming in from out of town, so it wouldn't be convenient to have one on a non-performance (or rehearsal) day.

George · « **Reply #70 on:** May 20, 2023, 08:14:25 AM »

But we'll see...or not.

If you decide to, DR George, here's one recipe:

Although it doesn't look like it includes the pretzel-stick paintbrushes.

I didn't know that DR Ron Pulliam was starring in Carousel!

Having had and enjoyed the soundtrack to the Happiest Millionaire, imagine my disappointment upon seeing the film and finding only a truncated version of that song sung by Paul Petersen and his pal.

I ask you, dear readers, have you any similar experiences? Where you saw a movie and the songs you knew from the soundtrack were mutilated?

I have something of a similar experience. Songs on soundtrack albums, but not in the films themselves. Happily, "The King and I" has two such songs: One sung by Liat and another by Anna, neither of which are in the film. "My Lord and Master" and "Shall I Tell You What I Think of You" -- recorded but not ever in the film. And, oddly, there is an oddity in the recordings in Mono and Stereo. There is a missing section of "Getting to Know You" on one of them...I think it's the mono.

There are things I know.

There are things I used to know.

And at 74-going-on-75, I have to admit a lot of it gets mixed together...and don't always come out the way it should.

Fortunately, there are things I know nothing about and on which I have nothing to say.

Funny how that doesn't seem to apply to folks like Trump, DeSantis, McCarthy, Boebert, Green and their ilk.

Shall I sing "More (the theme from Mondo Cane)"?

I have been having a daily increase of such messages myself.
