Wordle:  No luck today!

[Freddie]

The long weekend is very close.

[George]

Last night I received a notification that a book I want was available to put a hold on it. 

That's great, Jane!

[George]

I still have to wait until the book is released in April

That is a separate issue.

[George]

DR George I continue to appreciate the Pierce library.  They often have books I can't get with my library.

Same with mine!

[George]

Thank you DR George for telling me about the Pierce library.

You're very welcome!

[George]

I say if you're taller than the kitchen countertops, you should be paying bills.     

Yikes!! 

[DR Iris]

I have been a huge fan of Aaron Tveit since I first saw him in Next to Normal.

[DR Iris]

Then I saw him in Catch Me If You Can.

He’s always excellent.

I believe he turned 40 last October.

[DR Iris]

Aaron Tveit as Enjolras in the film.

Heartbroken by the death of Alexei Navalny .

Murder, that is.

Interesting.

[Jane]

When I still had my Ashland (Jackson county) membership I found the two libraries often had different options.

Good book news DR JANE.

[Jrand74]

DR LAURA I am in complete agreement about audiences today in theeder.

[Jrand74]

We now have about three inches of s**w.....it is most irritating.

[Jrand74]

I am now watching MONSIEUR SPADE on AMC.....an interesting and excellent series about a later in life Sam Spade starring Clive Owen who also displays his naked backside.

[Jane]

Good book news DR JANE.

Thank you.  It was even more exciting when I was the first to check out a new, clean, hardcover from the library.

My brother loves this show while we stopped watching it.

Hi - new member here and this is my first post.

TOD: I'm listening to CTI Records: The Cool Revolution, a 40th anniversary compilation from the label Creed Taylor started after his Verve years. I'm going to have to listen to it more often, it's really good.

I saw the Sweeney Todd revival last year and loved Josh Groban as Todd - he sang it so terrifically well. That's as high a voice as I'd want for Todd, though.

I'm wondering what's wrong with the audience in this clip? Aside from the silliness at the general / privates line, but who knows what the actors were doing there? (It doesn't seem to be what Groban and Ashford were doing.) This is the big comic relief number in the show after the intensity of Epiphany. Our host has forgotten more about theater than I'll ever know, so I'm curious.

Welcome, new member MichaelG!

[Laura]

Welcome to the family, Michael G. We're glad to have you join us.

Tell us a little about yourself.

[Jane]

Welcome new member MichaelG.  It is nice to meet you.

[Rodzinski]

I’m not a Sutton Foster diehard. I dud like the scenes i saw of her in Once Upon a Mattress, but I was not big on her Reno Sweeney. (I loved Patti LuPone in Anything Goes.) Tveit seems too young for Sweeney, but his sound was fine, for a tenor.

Tveit is almost fifty. I saw him in Zanna, Don't! (dreadful show) in 2002. He's gptta be in his mid-forties.

Zanna don’t! Omg there are some bad memories. I interviewed Tveit when he was in Wicked. Nice enough chap.

Welcome, DR MichaelG!!

Thrilled to have you here.


Do you have any pets?

[Rodzinski]

A newbie! Welcome Michael G!

Hello, DR MichaelG! Welcome to the madhouse! Please tell us more about yourself.

[MichaelG]

Welcome to the family, Michael G. We're glad to have you join us.

Tell us a little about yourself.

I'm a retired software engineer who's been performing music since I was 5 years old. I started with piano, switched to trumpet, then switched to singing when they put the trumpets and trombones onstage for the Entrance of the Peers in a production of Iolanthe. No pets.

I met my wife in our college band, and now we sing in opera choruses together. Tonight we open our new production with the composer in the audience.

[Rodzinski]

CTI was a good label. Some don’t love it. I like its subsidiary, Kudu, because Esther Phillips was on there.
