Interesting, about the Eileen materials, and how nice something good came of that.
The “convenience” fees for the use of credit cards on things like that are outrageous, DR Elmore. Our town lets you pay property tax bills by card, for which the company handling the transaction takes $95.

Well, the recording parts, if they still exist, sit in Dublin, and nop work was ever done after the recording to update the files and orchestra parts because the foundation had no interest beyond the recording. I was writing back to Alyce when I remembered that several years ago my dear friend Peter Foley, who died two years ago from eye cancer, and I had begun a project to update the Eileen materials so that he could own the edited sacores and parts and hopefully draw an income from the materials for himself or his family in case he became unable to work or died. We did an edition of the Overture for a concert in 2016, and the parts and score happened to be in my emails as a zip file. I sent it to Alyce and told her she could have it with my blessing. So, Peter and I are now part of the Victor Herbert Renaissance.This was the obituary for the wonderful and gifted Peter Foley.https://hannemannfuneralhome.com/book-of-memories/4721463/foley-peter/obituary.phpHe was only 54 years old.

Baskin-Robbins has an Oreo-Cold Brew flavor that is quite refreshing.

Quote from: elmore3003 on June 25, 2024, 07:59:09 AMI wish Peter were still alive to do the entire score with me. My Finale files for the score, if I ever had them all at home, are on one of five external LaCie hard drives I cannot access on this 2023 computer. Peter took my computer from Toyland when I closed shop in 2015. I suspect the files for the entire show, as well as the files for Dearest Enemy and Roberta sit on Peter's computer wherevere it now may be. I think I'll send his wife Kate an email.If there's no luck with Peter's computer, I would think someone you know in New York would have an older computer around and could help get the files off the external drives. I keep several older computers for things like that - running old music software, or accessing old media. But I'm on the other coast so that wouldn't be practical.

I think most of the pop from my youth is still around, particularly Vernors and Red Pop. You can't get Red Pop out here but Vernors is plentiful. I used to be a Tab fan but converted to Diet Coke when it came out. I haven't had any pop for many years though, when I decided I finally had to kick my Diet Coke habit.
The good news about Uncle Bernie's was that it's ten bucks cheaper than Art's or Hugo's.
There will be no streaming or recording because the actors are not miked.In other bad news....my main computer is DEAD.All of my inner web programs that I use for the theater are on it....and I can't do any work.I am on the small computer.I tried to use the APPLE but my fat fingers pressed some key combination and now I am typing in Russian if anyone knows how to remedy that.

And recently, I've been getting pop-up messages that in 2025 my Windows 10 computer will no longer be supported!
Had pizza for dinner with friends. Then went to pick up a prescription. The pharmacy closed at 6. Who does that?So I comforted myself with ice cream.
In still other news, I fired up the gas grill and ran it up to high, to begin the seasonal cleaning process, and...FOUR MICE HEADED FOR THE HILLS.Yes, I should have inspected the whole thing before doing anything. If that's what you're thinking, you're right.
