I think I have the Irish Rep’s Finian’s Rainbow. Is Malcolm Gets on that?

I saw that production in 2004.
It was wonderful.

The photos in that YouTube video are from that Irish Rep production in 2004.

David Staller is in at least one photo.

DR Larry, so pleased that you had such a nice visit with David Staller.

He’s incredibly charming and so erudite.

Bet you shared some great stories.

Unfortunately, you might want to consider giving away the amaryllis.

“The ASPCA classifies amaryllis as toxic to both cats and dogs. While they're not as dangerous as lilies, amaryllis can still make your furry pal pretty sick if ingested.”

Leaving the store we walked right up to the person who checks the receipts, once again no line.


It's wonderful when everything goes right like that!

Been listening to Werner Herzog read his autobiography. Fascinating stuff. I love his movies.

And when he lived in Pittsburgh, he differed trauma caused by lime gelatin. I will never recover from mine.

That was a great cast.

Errico and Von Essen are too weird to deal with. I love Terri White, who was in the 2009  Broadway revival I worked on, and Jonathan Freeman, who was in the 1991 Houston Grand Opera production of Babes in Toyland. Malcolm Gets and I have been friendly since The 1998 Encores! Boys from Syracuse.

DR Larry, so pleased that you had such a nice visit with David Staller.

He’s incredibly charming and so erudite.

Bet you shared some great stories.

He's also extremely whimsical and he loves cats. We got along fine. Last night I sent him the 3-CD 1999 BBC broadcast of JUBILEE. He responded with this email:
What a treat to sit with you for an afternoon! Many and more thanks for spending time with me and for this glorious recording. I've listened to a few of the cuts and your work is incredibly masterful: full, complex, witty, and so wonderfully theatrical.

We finally had full-bore sunshine today, and it was glorious if a bit windy and cool.

Now, it is dark.

Or, rather, it is "dart".

I say that because of 2-year old Audrey James Moore who responds to requests she does not care for by saying "It's too dart!"

This expression evolved from being told by her parents that "It's too darK" to do some of the things she comes up with at times, like going to see a friend at night, or going outside to play, etc.

But, tell her it's her bedtime and "It's too dart".  Get ready for your bath and "It's too dart".

It's cute, I think.  Audrey is my second cousin, daughter of Becky Mims Moore, daughter of my first cousin Debra Bledsoe Mims, daughter of my Aunt Doris (my mom's younger sister),

My Amaryllis bulbs are truly splendiferous right now.  One has a single bud stalk and is already a foot tall.  The second has two bud stalks and seems to be about six inches high right now.

What sort of trauma did you suffer from lime gelatin, John?  I've never heard of this reaction.
