BK, I also watched MAESTRO last night and agree with your assessment. Had to keep looking things up on Wikipedia. Jamie Bernstein’s book FAMOUS FATHER GIRL is on reserve for me at the public library.

Who decides these things?

I recently learned this. The National Day Archive Committee.

Good afternoon, all.

I have accomplished three - no, make it four - things thus far today:

1. Had my one-week left eye checkup with my new best friend, the ophthalmologist/surgeon, and all is well in that department.
2. Stopped in at the supermarket for a dozen things I needed. Actually, if truth be told, it was a dozen things I *wanted*.
3. Ate a late breakfast/lunch consisting of a really thick everything bagel from Whole Foods, lightly toasted, and spread with a whole mashed avocado which in turn was heavily sprinkled with a newfangled thing we picked up: dry guacamole seasoning.
4. Not least, I managed to get Mikey the cat clipped in advance of his visit to the vampire tomorrow morning.

Whew. I'm done. Time to sit back and relax.

DR Rodzinski I am pleased to see that you still have power and are posting.

Nice remembrances of Peter Schickele here. I wish I could have known him. That's incredible about him sending you the home-brewed CDs, DR Elmore.

I pretty near wore out all the LPs of his I had.

Except, not literally. I've never worn out an LP except for a few in my pre-college years when I knew nothing about how to care for them. I might even still have the P.D.Q. Bach albums. I'll check in a little while.

We’re getting snow again tonight. It is currently 11 degrees, very cold for Maryland.

Last year I was ready to move to Maryland for the lovely winter weather.

Meals distributed. Potatoes all gone. Cases of oranges gone. Yogurt gone. We gave out 130 six-packs of that.

Jane · « **Reply #72 on:** January 18, 2024, 10:09:04 AM »

We have another winter advisory alert for the next 24 hours. Alas, we are home again today.

Jane · « **Reply #73 on:** January 18, 2024, 10:09:43 AM »

At least it is warmer at 35 degrees vs 15 degrees.

Thanks! Still functioning. More snow starting…

Fingers crossed we still have power. I know a few people who are on day six of no power, or have power but no internet.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #76 on:** January 18, 2024, 10:38:56 AM »

Last time I heard Peter Schickele, he had a radio show on NPR or WNYC where he analyzed music in great detail.

Jane · « **Reply #77 on:** January 18, 2024, 11:17:23 AM »

So far in Portland, the Lion King has had to cancel about six shows. I wouldn't be surprised if they have to cancel the show for tonight.

Back from my appointment, where I learned I’ve lost 11 pounds since seeing her last in September. Must be the “moving diet.”

Jane · « **Reply #79 on:** January 18, 2024, 12:14:49 PM »

Congrats on the weight loss.

Listening to MSNBC coverage of the DOJ report on the school shootings at Uvalde. I don't know how those law enforcement buffoons can hold their heads up for the failure they caused.

Yes DR RON PULLIAM - I misnamed it. It is Zaxby's.

I got the Chicken Club meal......very good.

I shall return. There were only a few folks in the dining room, but they were doing landslide drive-thru business.

On This Day in 1943, to save on the costs of labor and equipment during war time, the U.S. banned the sale of pre-sliced bread.

I just booked an appointment for blood work. Today would have been the day to go if the weather had cooperated. I'm hoping Tuesday will be ok.

TOD - I'm not a huge fan of Leonard Bernstein, mostly because I can't wrap my head around jazz, and I find his music to have that sort of style to it. I've done West Side Story 4 times - 1 of those times, we used tracks, 2 of the times, I played the synthesizer part in the reduced orchestration, and once I conducted it. I want to say that conducting WSS was a feather in my cap. To date, I've only stick conducted 6 shows - Aspects of Love, The Secret Garden, Seussical, Anything Goes, Sunset Boulevard and West Side Story. With the exception of Seussical and Anything Goes - the rest were certainly a workout.

Matthew · « **Reply #86 on:** January 18, 2024, 01:00:42 PM »

Speaking of shows, last night's rehearsal of She Loves Me was fantastic. We learned all the music for Scene 1 and blocked it as well. This is new for me, usually we learn the music, then we block/choreograph, but this seemed to work very well. I'm excited about the show, already it looks great!

Here is the only complete PDQ Bach opera, The Abduction of Figaro, one of the funniest operas ever written.
