That album by David Staller is wonderful, and can be listened to in its entirety on
YouTube.

Look at the audience in rapt attention!

No kidding? I think DR Jrand74 can count on their vote! He's got this one locked in!

I just finished making the first recording for the person needing help on the harmony, which I should have finished yesterday but it took me till today to get sufficient feel of the damned piece. Dare I say this song is from Dear Evan Hansen, whose score - or anything about it, really - does not exactly warm the cockles of my heart? Or the heartles... (you know the rest)...

I meant to add...

In my email I was reminded that I'd made a recording last year for this same person, just playing the accompaniment for one song from Spitfire Grill, and I listened to a few bars of it. OMG. I'd forgotten how I'd quickly come to love that score, and right after the dreadful Dear Evan song ..... what a difference. What a DAMNED difference.

Just made my appointment for the first shingles vaccination, today, 4:00 pm at Walgreens.

Finally! I've only meant to do this for the past couple of years.

Thanks for sharing the nominations, DR Freddie and DR Jrand74! Wicked is the only nominated film I've seen so far, though I want to see A Complete Unknown. I expected those best picture / actress / supporting actress nominations, all well deserved.

So what are the rules for original score? Obviously nearly all the songs in Wicked are from the show, but there is a lot of new underscoring. Is that's what is being nominated?

Wednesday morning afternoon greetings!  Being in the Central Time Zone really confuses me.  We delivered Hannah to preschool this morning, went to breakfast and the bank, and got home shortly before Mary Linda.  Those girls are going to be glad to see their Momma.

TOD - I Could Write a Book

Having met in the library where I worked, if we’d had a wedding reception with dancing, this would have been our “first dance.”  My favorite version is Ella Fitzgerald’s.

I love The Spitfire Grill!  Lakewood Playhouse will be doing it in the late spring/early summer!  I can't wait to see it!

And coincidentally, a national tour of Dear Evan Hanson is coming to the WCPA next month.  I'm working concessions for both performances.

LOL!  I hope they call you for additional material when they do an update of SUGAR BABIES.

Both of my preferred teams won last night.  Interesting games.

Luka Garza from the Timberwolves was in his uniform and he removed the bottoms so that he could show off his legs and new Nike crew socks.  However he did not get to play in the game.

I've always considered Lorenz Hart the poet laureate of the broken heart. Sondheim continually kicked Hart's lyrics around, but it's his opinion, not mine, and I'd be happy to tell my old pal Steve where I think he's written a dud or three. Still, it seems pretty apparent that Steve's original lyrics for "We're Gonmna Be All Right" were modeled on Hart's "He and She."



I made a similar suggestion on castrecl back when Encores revived Do I Hear a Waltz? John Esche ripped me a new one.

I love this album. David's a dear friend. I also like the Joan Morris-William Bolcom album of Rodgers & Hart.
