I am so grateful to BK for recording the Lost in Boston and Unsung Musicals series of recordings, but especially that he recorded Karen Morrow singing the 3 cut songs from Ballroom.

I saw it pre-Broadway in Stratford, Connecticut and am happy to have these remembrances.

It's a great marriage of material and performer.

Amen.

Blood pressure today was 115/69. I guess that’s something to celebrate.

Yes, it is. Did you lose some weight? Losing even 5% of your body weight results in lower numbers all around. (I love that statistic)

45 pounds

I’ve started listening to King: A Life. The book is fascinating. The reader is, at times a little rushed. He said that one of Martin Luther King Jr.’s favorite operas was Donizetti’s Lucia di L’amour.

And in the "Uh oh" department...A judge in Canada ruled that the thumbs-up emoji can represent a legally binding contract agreement.

This can't be true

It can be, but it's also Canada.

If it happened Canada why not here

For dinner we went to a Mexican restaurant the technician recommended.

If only she had mentioned this place on our first trip here.

I doubt we will return before we leave on Tuesday.

It sure was good.

Watching an extra on Baadasssss!!! The movie was about the making of Sweet Sweetback’s Baadassss Song. And this making-of documentary was made back then. It’s odd to see Bill Cosby as a talking head.

John G. · « **Reply #231 on:** July 07, 2023, 08:27:42 PM »

I think I am going to watch the movie about the making of the movie before watching the movie itself.

Finished with my viewing. I slept through most of it because - it wasn't very good.
