I made a post on Facebook about the second rehearsal - I do this for every show. I just got a notice that they took down the post because I was pimping for likes and shares. Say what? You can contest it, which I did immediately, ticking the box that said the post did NOT violate their rules and that it was simply an informative post (the second selection you can choose). I was furious. Literally ten seconds later they reinstated the post and apologized for "getting it wrong."
They delete things that shouldn't be deleted, but leave up hate speech.
Dennis Deal, who was the arranger and MD for many of Ben Bagley's later Revisited recordings, has died. I really loved him. I copied things for him before he and Ben started sending me thing to orchestrate to meet a deadline. He was charming, talented, and as I got busier we lost touch. I hadn't seen him in close to forty years. It's sad to see how time and friends get past you and sadder to realize how many roads in hell were paved with your good intentions. RIP, dear Dennis.
I liked the Randy Rainbow video.....but I am so sad and upset and unoptimistic about the situation, that I find it hard to laugh sometimes.
Oral surgery this morning went off without a hitch.
