Page Eight!

[Jrand74]

And I'm home after a viewing from the audience of OKLAHOMA!

Really good work onstage and a very nice audience.  My sister Paula liked it a lot too.

Now two days off for everyone and then our final five performances.

[Jrand74]

Thanks to all for the kind comments about the play.  I will be happy to  hear it.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

I had lunch today with the widow of August Wilson, who is a former neighbor of ours.

Wow. He was amazing. I've seen about half of the cycle he wrote.

I actually haven't seen any, but The Green Space recorded all ten in his cycle back in 2013, and simulcast the audio. 

[George]

They're no longer available to stream, but according to this article:

New York Public Radio Announces American Century Cycle

The 2013 recordings of August Wilson’s seminal series will be made available for educational purposes.

[George]

However, I have the complete set of downloaded recordings.

[George]

According to THIS article:

Directors for the performances included Kenny Leon, Phylicia Rashad, Michele Shay, and Marion McClinton. The recorded readings feature actors including Leslie Uggams, Anthony Chisholm, Brandon Dirden, Russell Hornsby, Roger Robinson, Keith David, Ebony Jo-Ann, John Earl Jelks, Roslyn Ruff, S. Epatha Merkerson, Jerome Preston Bates, Taraji P. Henson, Jonathan Majors (UNCSA B.F.A. Drama' 12) and Chadwick Boseman. Bill Sims Jr. and other composers who worked with Wilson scored the readings with original music.

Better eight than never.

Must write some notes.

[Rodzinski]

From DR Rodzinski:

One of my favorite books, but I can’t imagine the film capturing its essence.

IMHO it did not capture its essence.

Thanks!!

The Days of Wine and Roses should have used the Mancini song.

The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at play, etc.

Andy Williams did a lovely recording.

[Rodzinski]

Here’s Andy doing it live.

Today, I went to the local Meconi's Italian Subs and got my usual Combo (which is Chicken, Turkey & Ham), and, of course, had it Cosmo style (which is toasted).

[George]

My friend Shelly was over, so she also decided to have the Combo Cosmo style.

[bk]

I leave an hour ago and we've had five posts since then?

[bk]

This is wrong.

[George]

I ordered one whole sub, so we each had a half Combo.

[bk]

George makes a single post then takes a hike?

[bk]

We need some action.

[bk]

Action is what we need.

[George]

Shelly was over here helping me clean my place.

[George]

Action is what we need.

What?  Anybodys isn't enough.

[George]

Tomorrow, the family is coming over to my place for our quasi-weekly family meal to see the progress on my place.

[George]

I was going to get some pizzas from Costco, but my mom said that she would get them.

[George]

I need to put some sodas in my fridge so that they'll be cold by tomorrow.

[George]

Everyone's coming over around noon.

[bk]

Have we had any action?

[bk]

Good, a little action was had.

[bk]

I'm gonna take a Mucinex-D to try and cut through some of the phlegm.
