I'm wondering how many people went to our Corpus Evita opera and left at intermission when they realized they weren't going to hear "Don't Cry For Me Argentina." We did tend to lose quite a few then, but that might have been the torture scene that directly preceded it.

I was kind of surprised that Mr. Yap didn't make an appearance in Album Produced By... as I would have expected some conflict between him and BK over some Broadway cast recordings. But I can imagine there might have been things there that didn't want to be revisited while writing the book.

From DR Jrand:

Quote

The endless and irritating promos for the new CBS series ELSBETH are so hideous that I would not even consider watching a moment of the show......the leading actress is cloying and repulsive and will not be on my tv screen beyond the repetitive and intrusive ads that keep appearing on my other CBS programming.

Oh no. I loved Elsbeth on The Good Wife and hope the show is better than the promos.

DR Singdaw we also liked the actress in Fargo, or anything she does.

DR John thank you for the link on Anne Whitfield

I am glad for you and also wish I had slept.

Slept well again. Woke up needing to blow my nose several times. Still breathing well, but still congested, to boot.

The first part was good news. Feel better.

Great Expectations? I agree with Jane. Make up your own damn book title!

Yup.

I took my wife to a romantic movie one Valentine’s night. A Winter’s Tale. One of my favorite Shakespeare plays, although I must say it’s more weird than romantic, but the brief ad I’d seen played up the romance and it was released on Valentine’s Day.

Turns out it had nothing to do with the Shakespeare play. Was some sort of supernatural thriller with Will Smith as actual Satan wearing a Bob Marley T-shirt. Just abysmal. We walked out before it ended.

I still recall being horrified when I went to a book store asking for "Ramona" and was handed the Beverly Cleary book, not the Helen Hunt Jackson classic. It still annoys me.

It's interesting to read (on wikipedia) that it was renamed "A New York Winter's Tale" for the UK and Ireland.

I'm up, I'm up - maybe four hours of sleep, maybe a bit more.

Will the orchestra be composed of students, pros, faculty, or a mixture of all of those?

I'm sorry I missed this earlier. As far as I know it's one of the five(?) student orchestras. The three saxes are coming from another band or orchestra since the clarinets do not double.

I never really had any issues with Yap that were worthy of the book. But on the Internet he is so thoroughly obnoxious. I either blocked him or he me. But remember, the reason he's doing his posts now about his recordings is in direct response to me posting the track and telling stories. THAT is how petty he is.

I'll be on my way to the bank in a bit.

DR Laura, I think you should make pistachio blondies next.

I bought some stuff to make this for next week's meeting.

That's great, DR Laura! Please let us know how they come out.

Thanks for the information, DR elmore3003.

After they produce that one, they can do Skating for Godot.

It's Waiting for Godot, but on ice!

They should have renamed it here-lol

I actually liked the novel, Winter's Tale, by Mark Helprin which I read when it was first published. I think it was much better than the film.
