Good night, friends.

[Jrand74]

Vibes for MR BK.

[Jrand74]

I am enjoying DR MICHAELG's adventures in London.

[Jrand74]

I just watched an HBO Documentary about Brandy Melville Stores and its operations.

Most disturbing.

I had never heard of Fast Fashion before, but I guess it's a thing.

[John G.]

Mission San Jose was the site of the gala tonight

[John G.]

The building dates back to 1768

My friend Gail and me

I would guess DR RODZINSKI is having a good time - all of the morticians I know are a lot of fun.

I envision them enjoying a nice banquet on the last night, followed by brandy and cigars and their favorite entertainment:
the always-anticipated annual showing of THE LOVED ONE.

I love the film of The Loved One. The book is even better

[John G.]

The sun is out. I need to inspect the yard for damage.

Vibes that there was no damage!  Or as little damage as possible.

DR John I hope your yard is ok.

The yard looks good. We did get two inches of rain in that storm.

[John G.]

DR Jrand73, I love your audition story,

Ditto

[John G.]

I saw Pirates of Penzance on Broadway with the original cast

Patricia Routlege in the park? Or Estelle Parsons?

[John G.]

But my mother believes any printed material , not actively being read at the moment when her eye falls upon it , is rubbish, and must be immediately removed lest we be buried under a mountain of periodicals and die a horrible death like the Collyer brothers

Sounds like my mother. Her stuff was worth something. Ours was worthless. Out went my autographs from Ella Fitzgerald, Lillian Gish and more.

[Rodzinski]

I would guess DR RODZINSKI is having a good time - all of the morticians I know are a lot of fun.

They do seem a fun bunch.

[Rodzinski]

My "baby" sister will be 53 years old on Sunday, April 14.

She is very young

I agree. 53 is very young! 

Yay!

[John G.]

Scary story, BK. Sorry it happened to you.

[Rodzinski]

I would guess DR RODZINSKI is having a good time - all of the morticians I know are a lot of fun.

I love the film of The Loved One. The book is even better

I do plan on writing about both in the pages of my magazine. I think it’s a rare case where book and movie complement each other nicely. Book is more subtle. Movie takes some broad approaches, but they work.

[Rodzinski]

Ate a couple nice meals in Tampa today with the boss. The convention is nice. Some fancy caskets and hearses among the elaborate booths.

[bk]

Finished with my viewing - perfect in that it was a horribly horrible movie on this horribly horrible day. Just ordered some egg rolls because I've still got this awful taste of that awful whatever it was I ate earlier. I had full credit, so what I just ordered didn't cost anything. Also, a couple of pork baos.

Today is the calm before a four-day storm of rehearsals and auditions.

~~~Additional Break Legs Vibes!!~~~

Okay kids, it's show and tell time.

I am one of the very few people in these United States who has never seen a production of GREASE, never watched the movie version of GREASE, and to my knowledge I've never played any of the music from GREASE. However, I'm about to play auditions for (wait for it...) GREASE, so I looked to see what materials I have in order to get familiar with the music beforehand. I knew I had a published score with the binding hardly cracked, but I'd forgotten that a couple of years ago a director friend had unloaded some items from productions past that he no longer needed or wanted, and because of its age and uniqueness and the fact that I love handwritten scores, I couldn't resist taking this one.

So for the viewing pleasure of a few of you, here's an artifact from way back, an early Samuel French rental score. You can't tell just by looking at the picture, but its pages measure 12.5" wide by 15" tall. A standard music stand won't accommodate it without a sturdy piece of cardboard or something placed behind it for support.

That's really cool, ChasSmith.

[George]

I also have a few scores (and even recordings) about which I know nothing.

[George]

Siblings Day!

Thanks for bringing it to our attention DR  singdaw!

I am one of EIGHT so I have a lot of things to be celebrated.

Wow!  My mom was the oldest of four, and my dad was one of six.  Otherwise in my family, it's just my sister and me.

[George]

I also knew a couple of brothers who were two out of 14, count 'em, FOURTEEN siblings that all lived into adulthood!

That poor mom!

[George]

It was a joy to see her after 20 years.....and she will be playing Aint Eller in our show.

JOY JOY JOY.

That's so cool, Jrand!

[George]

My "baby" sister will be 53 years old on Sunday, April 14.

An early Happy Birthday to your "baby" sister! 

[George]

My niece's birthday is April 17.  She's going to turn the BIG FOUR-OH!

I saw Pirates of Penzance on Broadway with the original cast

Really??  All the way back in 1879??
