Well, you've read the notes, the notes had both heaven and hell, and now it is time for you to post until the heaven and hell cows come home.

I set the alarm for 5:15 in my effort to get up earlier. It was complete failure. I turned off the alarm, cuddled with Thatch and Annabelle, cpould not get back to sleep, and got up at 6:15. Thatch played Floyd Collins in caverns he discovered in the bedclothes.

BK, did you know that David Amram wrote an opera, Twelfth Night, to a libretto by Joseph Papp from Shakespeare's comedy? I believe he wrote it for Marcia Baldwin, who might have been one of his three wives. She played Viola in the Lake George Premiere. I've always wanted to hear this opera, but I don't recall ever running across any bootlegs.

Today is the 10th anniversary of Mary Rodgers' death. I saw her rarely, but I truly adored her.

When I reconstructed Dearest Enemy in 2002 for the Richard Rodgers centenary, I needed a 5-minute musical interlude between Act Two and the Epilogue. I remembered that Mary had once told me that she loved the song "Bye and Bye" from the show, so I based the interlude on it. I will mourn her today as I mourned Peter Foley yesterday.

I must listen to these Amram pieces.

I've got BK's link opened, and I do remember the distinctive sounds of Manchurian Candidate.

I got the proverbial second wind again last night, and I once again feel like I was run over by a truck.

90 degrees again today, with the usual storms tonight, but the forecasts show that this should be the end of those temps for the next week or more. That will be very nice.

I wonder if David Amram ever went to an ashram in Amsterdam with Jean-Claude van Damme?

Bruce, I loved that Percy Faith treatment of "Splendor in the Grass".

I have ordered the CD via Amazon.

Slept very well. Had strange dream. Nothing special about it other than I was sitting at the first table in front of a guest speaker and had notes spread out and was really into it when the moderator approached me and asked me to move. He said I was distracting everyone by my note-taking.

I was rather put out by that and took my time gathering my things together.

Whisky, Tango, Foxtrot?!!!

A Wednesday question for BK. It has two parts.

1. In the notes you say: instead I had bacon and eggs, and it was fine and ten bucks cheaper than Art’s or Hugo’s. Well, I don't know Hugo's, but I do know Art's is a supreme ripoff when it comes to the more ordinary foodstuffs. I also know -- or knew -- my L.A., and I know my bacon and eggs. So...how in the [expletive] much does bacon and eggs cost in the Valley in the Year of Our Lord 2024, anyway??

2. I know the great ones I knew and loved are gone, but surely the tradition lives on? I refer to the ubiquitous Southern California coffee shop. Are there none that you would drop into for such things as bacon and eggs? I know the deli-served ones can be a little nicer. But other than actual fast food, what is the present state of informal, casual eating around there? I'm kind of afraid to hear the answer.
