Well, you've read the notes, the notes had both age and anxiety, and now it is time for you to post until the aged and anxious cows come home.

Just watched one of the worst movies I've ever seen. More about that anon.

And others.

I thought I was getting better, but I've woken up to a real coughing jag this morning.

Who decides these things?

I love Bernstein's Symphony 2, but I don't know if I've ever heard the Entrement version. Which I will remedy.

I forgot to mention yesterday that I've performed Vaughn Williams's "Serenade to Music" several times, but the version with voices. Simply gorgeous.

Good morning, all!

I slept okay. It's the weather - not too hot,not too cold - affecting me, I think. I don't particularly want to turn on the AC to make it cold enough to sleep comfortably, and it's not warm enough to sleep with no covering.

I spent most of yesterday working on a new Annabelle & Thatch book and working on a new Star on the Rise photo album on Facebook, which I hope will lead to some work.

This morning, after kitty cleanup, I must get to serious work on "You'll Never Get Away from Me."

DR singdaw, you're getting two days to celebrate your birthday! How fantastic!

I hope tonight's dinner is a wonderful treat.

DR ChasSmith, there are two copies of this performance of Maria Ewing's performance of La Perichole. Neither one is particularly good but this is the better of the two. My copy, which I've owned for years and never watched before this week, has German subtitles.

I love W.H. Auden's work, especially his libretti for Britten's opera Paul Bunyan and Stravinsky's wonderful opera, The Rake's Progress, based on the 18th century art of Hogarth.

There are a lot of DVDs of The Rake, but my favorite remains the Glyndebourne production from the 1980s, designed by David Hockney.

Glad you enjoyed Dangerous Crossing, BK. I think brevity works in its favor.

John G. · « **Reply #22 on:** September 15, 2024, 05:19:33 AM »

Auden and Britten were among the denizens of the February House with Carson McCullers, Paul Bowles and Gypsy Rose Lee. I loved that story.

I must move.

Hard to believe the day is finally upon us, but this evening we have our first set of auditions for The World According to Snoopy. More of same tomorrow night, and we have an evening set aside next week in case we need it. Plus one for callbacks. Now, if only the populace will show up. Three guys, three gals, and a brilliant Woodstock. Can we do it?
