I feel the plague coming on.
OK. Candy is bagged. Clever written certificates were written, designed, and printed.
Now to cut out a large cardboard cutout of a bus (don't ask) and write a script.
I can tell you right now, MY script isn't going to be sent to a New York producer.
I was sitting backstage minding my own business when our leading lady walked up and started talking to me.She is determined she said to wear some fur object in each of her scenes.....sort of her trademark, you know.....She thinks it will bowl the audience over.
I just said....."interesting."
Now I must lie down....We are getting a lot of this blasted hurricane left over rain.....so I got very wet running into the house from where I have to now park my car.......

Dealt with a PayPal thing - I'm furious at the jerk who did it but thankfully PayPal did the right thing with me so I'm not out anything. I will be publicly naming and shaming the idiot in tomorrow's notes because he's never responded to a single e-mail, his items were delivered on June 29, he'd already filed a dispute with his credit card company rather than PayPal, and despite his cc company being shown proof of delivery, they sided with him and gave him his money back - so he basically stole two CDs. Thankfully, PayPal credited me for the money as a favor because I've had the Kritzerland PayPal account for almost twenty years now.
Heard from David Jablin, who produced all the Likely Stories segments I wrote and directed. He's trying to remaster everything to hi-def so he can make a streaming deal - but is having only sporadic luck. Thankfully, he scored a home run with my Elephant Man musical segment - which looks and sounds amazing: https://vimeo.com/107305601?share=copy
Had a really nice surprise telephonic call from ace composer Charles Fox.
Caedmon was purchased in the 1980s by Harper & Row, who then destroyed the label and took most of the catalog out of print. The company was begun by a lesbian couple, and I used to place my Drama Book Shop orders with them over the phone. They used great performers, and a few of my favorite Caedmon recordings were: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: Carol Channing reads the novel, accompanied by a 1920s dance band Eudora Welty Reads "Why I Live at the P.O." Mother Goose with Celeste Holm, Boris Karloff, Cyril Ritchard and music by Hershey Kay Tartuffe translated by Richard Wilbur, performed by the Stratford Festival Marat/Sade performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company A Streetcar Named Desire starring Rosemary Harris and James Farentino
