TWO!

[Ron Pulliam]

Goodness graciousI It's Friday again!!!

My grass was cut six days ago.  It needs cutting right this very minute, but it will have to wait until Denny drives by and sees it.  He checks every eight to 10 days.  The rains have fallen and fallen and fallen, so the grass keeps getting encouragement.

[Ron Pulliam]

One great thing about today being Friday (that a retiree will appreciate, that is):

It's catfish day at Third Generation restaurant.  That isn't the same as "catfishing", happy to say.

You can have your catfish baked or fried.  And they always have grits as a side if you want.  I always do. 

[Ron Pulliam]

I woke up at 7:15 this morning, but I just couldn't get out of bred.

Next thing I knew, it was 9:27 a.m.

Am groggy still.  Have not made my coffee or had any type of morning food product.  Yes, I have blueberry muffins, but my mind is trending toward a Jimmy Dean sausage/egg/cheese biscuit.

I know the muffin would be better for me, but it's Friday.  Nutrition and common sense can just #suckit.   

(For those who don't know where that hashtag comment came from, it was stated on national TV by one Miss Cate Blanchett when she won her last Oscar).

Me, I have to work on some music, pick up other music, run a couple of errands, and — finally — get me to the outdoor theeder to see my friends’ Music Man this evening. It closes tomorrow night, and in three weeks this has been my best chance, weather wise and schedule wise, to get over there.

I hope it’s a real Music Man and not a revisal.

I loved the book so much that I am nervous about the movie doing it justice.

John’s skill did not transfer to me

Put the blame on Mame.

I’m feeling a kidney stone coming on. My sister passed an enormous one this week. Maybe it’s just sympathy pains.

Perish the thought!

Should absolutely be the real thing.

[Rodzinski]

Does anyone actually perform the revised version?

[Rodzinski]

Be like watching the Matthew Broderick TV version instead of the legit movie.

[Rodzinski]

Nobody in their right mind would choose that.

And if I’m not being clear, the Matthew Broderick TV Music Man is one of the biggest crimes against humanity in entertainment history.

George, congratulations on a good opening.

Thanks, John!

[Rodzinski]

Rodzinski, I hope you’re back to doing back bends.

Thank you John. I am much better and got good test results via phone, so I’m back in biz. It never really affected my movement, which is what made me fear it was more internal, but I must have twisted a set of muscles fighting evil blackberry vines.

~~~No Kidney Stones Vibes for John!!~~~

In a couple of weeks, NY friend Shelly us having surgery for kidney stones...AGAIN!

I have never watched the TV revisal of The Music Man., so at this point it's probably best that I leave well enough alone.

To my knowledge, those aren't generally available for licensing anyway, and thank the ye gods for that. But I'm sure there are instances where less than scrupulous directors will insert a line or routine or foist some aspect of a revisal on their local adoring audiences. I didn't see the Jackman/Sutton revisal either, but I'll keep my eyes and ears attuned for any little thing that seems amiss.

[George]

The last time, the big stone was 5.1 centimeters...NOT millimeters.  It was larger than a golf ball.

[ChasSmith]

Hell, what am I saying? I can state with absolute certainty that there are less than scrupulous directors (and their music directors, who are usually reluctant accomplices) who shamelessly copy dancing and transcribe revised dance music ... such as, for instance, the rewritten Waiters Galop from the recent Dolly! revival. It's a wonder to me that these things get performed not one hundred miles from the city and somehow escape the notice of the licensing agencies. A lot of people get away with a lot of crap.

Good morning.

I can see that.
