Right now I'm listening to the Broadway cast recording of Titanic for the first time in years. I'm thinking that should have been a two-disc release, but it's so good to hear it after the small version in that UK production. That was a nice production, but Mr. Tunick did Mr. Yeston proud and I didn't know how much I'd missed that orchestra.

DR Elmore:  Is there any work for Josh or you to do, prep-wise, on that score? Are the 1997 materials in good shape and ready to be played? Or might there be changes of any kind?

Vixdad took me to urgent care where I was prescribed with amoxicillin and benzonatate

Oh, DR vixmom! I am so sorry! I hope the prescriptions kick in ASAP.

I don't honestly know. The orchestra reading happened over a week ago, and Joshie said Jonathan was very happy with it. Right now he's up to his neck with that, a small concert version of Brigadoon, Bye Bye Birdie, and the Irish Rep gala. We talk in abbreviations.

BK, I've been on a Frederick Ashton ballet kick since watching Enigma Variations. Last night I laughed and smiled through La Fille mal Gardee again. The night before that was Ashton's version of Leo Delibes' Sylvia, which was staggering in his masterful handling of boat, soloists and corps de ballet in the Act Three opening "Le Cortege de Bacchus."

I did watch an Ashton ballet I had never seen before, The Dream, based on Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream. It's charming and very funny. The lovers have a wonderful, comic battle, and a transformed Bottom dances on two hooves. Oberon an Titania are quite wonderful, and the music is really beautiful. I think you'd like it.

Vibes the antibiotic works quickly and that the benzonatate stops your cough.

They ruled out Covid and strep

Did they also test for RSV or the flu?  Strep, is your throat also hurting?

In Judi Dench’s book on Shakespeare, she calls the character Tits.

I can't even. I've been sitting here unable to process this - even though I felt it was coming because he'd been in the hospital for a month. Grateful to have at least had our final lunch together two months ago. Much to say - but later. I encourage everyone to do what I did - listen to Hushabye Mountain.
