Tree vibes for Ron. Crazy story.

[John G.]

Three!

[John G.]

Color me pleased.

Yay!

[ChasSmith]

The change in weather, though, was wonderful for the production and audience both. The break in the heat wave and humidity and rain were heavenly, making a perfect night for sitting outdoors. They'll have a great closing weekend of Beauty and the Beast. Next weekend they open Grease.

[ChasSmith]

And that's the repor.

[ChasSmith]

I must say, though, that I'm having a fairly strong allergy attack this morning, which began after I was up for a bit. My nose and eyes are outta control and my old dear friend Benadryl might have to make an appearance.

[ChasSmith]

And so it has. Now to wait for the coming relief.

[elmore3003]

Housework is finished.

[elmore3003]

DR JohnG, did you get my email yesterday?

[Freddie]

Vibes the Benadryl works quickly

After I finished watching The Big Combo last night, I spent some time looking thropugh Francis Collinson's wonderful book Orchestration for the Theatre. I had recommended it to my arranging student, but I hadn't looked at it in years. I thought I'd better check it out again. It's such a wonderful read.

Collinson was the music director for London producer Charles Cochran. He conducted the 1935 London production of Anything Goes.

Could be a brain fart, but I don't believe I've known of that book. It sounds wonderful, as does your teaching/mentoring project. In spite of music having been the central aspect of my life, I never for one minute believed I had what it takes to literally teach, and my hat is off to those who have the calling and the skill. It certainly does sound like you should take on another student or two or three.

When I moved into this building, my neighbor in 3D was at the time a very unpleasant retired librarian. He drove the neighbor above him in 4D crazy with his constant demands that he stop being noisy after midnight. At one point the police showed up around 3:00a.m. to check on the noise. Only . . . my neighbor was sound asleep; there wasn't any noise, although the librarian claimed there was.

Well, last night, around 8:30, noise began above me, as if someone were slamming furniture down, and it continued after I went to bed. The cats heard it and reacted. I woke around 3:45 this morning, and the noise was continuing. I think the ghosts are throwing a party or furiture at each other.

[John G.]

DR JohnG, did you get my email yesterday?

Which? We exchanged several.

[John G.]

Larry, I missed the attachment. Let me look at it now.

Two more PPs and then on to FLOWERS.

Last night one of the actresses in the show brought some sweet corn from her garden.  I got six unshucked ears.

Since I can't eat it with my partial plate....I will offer them to my brother.

You do know you can cut the kernels off those cobs, don't you?  Put them in a pan with a lump of butter and let them simmer/roast over low heat!  HEAVEN ON A PLATE!!

Yes, I had meant to say that. For some reason which we've never been able to figure out, Kristi has hated eating corn on the cob since she was a kid. But she loves the corn itself. Just take a knife and shave it off the cob, and Bob's yer uncle.

(He might be DR Jrand73's uncle anyway, for all I know. If not, this will definitely make him one.)

[ChasSmith]

DR Elmore - coincidentally, someone in the Musical Theatre Orchestration group on FB just posted about Robert Russell Bennet's Instrumentally Speaking, which he's reading at the NYPL since it can't be checked out. He included photos of a bunch of individual pages, and it looks utterly fascinating. I would zip right through something like that myself, even though I have no earthly reason for doing so other than to further my own appreciation for the craft. And for learning more about the instruments themselves.

[John G.]

Larry, check your email.

[John G.]

I like Mexican street corn with cooked kernels mixed in with crema or sour cream, mayo, plenty of chili powder or cayenne, salt and black pepper.

[John G.]

The easiest dinner I make lately is that recipe with a drained can of corn.

[John G.]

And Jerry likes my corn in cup.

[Ron Pulliam]

Much ado about trees!

[Ron Pulliam]

Nice day, though!

[Ron Pulliam]

Sigh!

[George]

Because my work computer is out of commission due to the global tech outage that has shut down all the airports.

ALL the airports...all over the woooorld (an ELO reference )??

[Ron Pulliam]

I am amazed at how shallow the roots were for this tree.  I have a few more much taller in the same area.  I reckon I'm going to have some work done getting all of them down if the ground isn't going to sustain them.

[George]

This afternoon, my friend Dennis Buck, whom I've not seen in years, is coming by to visit. He's looking forward to seeing the cats.

Hope you both have a wonderful visit!

[George]

George - Last night's pictures of actual posts were very funny!

Thanks, Freddie!
