I preferred to sleep in with the cats rather than get out of bed when the alarm rang at 6:00, so I'm running about an hour later today.

I got a new CD yesterday from EBAY....Oh You Kid - which was an LP by Dorothy Provine and Joe "Fingers" Carr and his Swingin' String Band.

It also includes the tracks from an LP by Joe "Fingers" Carr, etc. One of the bonus tracks is Hawaiian War Chant which our dance instructor had us do a tap routine, too....it was ghastly.....it was just ghastly.

The First Nudie Musical
Oliver
Singin' in the Rain
The Bandwagon
The Wizard of Oz

Jen is coming down this morning to change the light bulbs in my kitchen ceiling. I can no longer climb a ladder to do that. Yesterday she stopped by to tell me about Ann's mother's funeral last week. The poor woman has been dying - and expected to die weekly - since last December, so I'm happy for Ann that's finally over.

I've got enough Gypsy work to keep me busy all weekend.

Good morning, all.

I got me a busy Friday here, running errands this morning and working at home later.

DR Jrand74, I watched those same things on TCM last night. But only superficially. I had watched THE NIGHT DIGGER not that long ago and wasn’t really into it, and I’ve never managed to see THE BROOD all the way through— and this time was no different because I fell asleep at some point.

Me, too, DR ELMORE!

I especially like her big number in The Great Race.

And her exchange with Tony Curtis.

Leslie: Are you a native of Borracho?
Lily: I ain't no native - I was born here.

And then of course I remembered an similar exchange in HIS GIRL FRIDAY.

You and that albino of yours....

...Evangeline? She ain't no albino.....she was born right here in this country.

DR John G., do you get weekends off, or is it every day until Election Day?

If 30 pieces of chocolate don't bring happiness, I'd suggest having them with a cup of Swiss Miss hot chocolate with mini-marshmallows. That should work.

Vixmom, do you have curbside voting in New York? It would let WFO stay in the car instead of standing in line.

That sounds great.

Speaking of THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL, in googling, I ran across this on BroadwayWorld from January 2010.

"Starfighter Onstage, LLC Announces New Productions in Developement"
https://www.broadwayworld.com/off-broadway/article/Starfighter-Onstage-LLC-Announces-New-Productions-in-Developement-20100128

BK, did that developmental reading of THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL ever happen? (Maybe in L.A. rather than New York?)

----------------------------

"Starfighter Onstage, LLC has announced its new projects in development for 2010.

First, it will start developing a new musical adapted from the comic novel VIVA MAX! by Jim Lehrer (NewsHour with Jim Lehrer).
[some info about VIVA MAX!]

The LLC will also produce (with Julie Miller co-producing) a short-film musical of PLAISIR D'AMOUR, a screen adaptation of the one-act musical with book by Terrence McNally and songs by Skip Kennon [some info about PLAISIR D'AMOUR]

Also announced by the LLC are plans to be an associate producer of a developmental reading of Bruce Kimmel's musical THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL, which will be directed by Bruce Kimmel in NYC, most likely in late spring or early summer."

Nicely done, DR Jane! In the first four posts on this page, you incorporated two, three, four, and five.

Thank you. I was pleased

Not Swiss Miss

We were at a diner once and I ordered hot chocolate and forgot to ask what chocolate they use. I really am fussy-lol.

Jane · « **Reply #58 on:** October 25, 2024, 09:32:35 AM »

At my first taste I made a face. Keith tasted it and said, it was good, like Swiss Miss.

Jane · « **Reply #59 on:** October 25, 2024, 09:32:43 AM »

Yes, it was Swiss Miss and I did not drink it
