Eight!

Thank you. I have no fever and no symptoms other than a scratchy throat.

Irma la Douce is not very good. I have been watching it forever. And I still have a half hour to go.

And others.

DR MichaelG, I am so happy that La Sonnambula is going well. I only know a couple of arias recorded by Callas, who came up yesterday in my iTunes disaster. I'm not a huge Donizetti or Bellini fan; but I do love Rossini and Mozart. I guiess Beethoven's Fidelio, which I love, also falls into that time zone I've created. Anyway, I'm very, very happy for your company's success.

Thanks, DR elmore3003! I'm not as big a Bellini fan as I am of Puccini and Verdi. But it's really fun to get inside these operas and see what makes them tick, and there's always plenty of gorgeous music. We did Norma a few seasons ago. I agree with Fidelio as a favorite.

Indeed.

Thanks, DR John G!

Thanks to all for the good wishes. Our second performance had a bigger house who were again enthusiastic, and laughing at more of the jokes than last night.

We got our first review, with lots of positive things to say, including the chorus:

After the disappointment of Irma, I started Houseboat with Cary Grant and Sophia Loren. I didn't realize it was a sad comedy. I like it, but the kids are all sad.

A very nice review. Are you in any of the pictures?

Yes DR RODZINSKI that's the guy.

He co produced a CD with MR BK that was really a lot fun.

Oh yes! I remember now!

DR Iris · « **Reply #224 on:** February 16, 2025, 09:34:16 PM »

Am I the only one here who watched the SNL 50th Anniversary special tonight??

DR Iris · « **Reply #225 on:** February 16, 2025, 09:35:16 PM »

I loved it.

Some skits were better than others, but I enjoyed it tremendously.

DR Iris · « **Reply #226 on:** February 16, 2025, 09:36:01 PM »

Laughed more than I have in a very long time.

Shed a tear or two, as well.

DR Iris · « **Reply #227 on:** February 16, 2025, 09:37:15 PM »

Paul McCartney closed the show with “Golden Slumbers”.

His voice is not as strong, of course, but at 82, that man still rocks!

DR Iris · « **Reply #228 on:** February 16, 2025, 09:37:50 PM »

Paul Simon opened with “Homeward Bound”.

Very touching.

DR Iris · « **Reply #229 on:** February 16, 2025, 09:38:52 PM »

Lots of very funny people scattered throughout the audience, who were brought into several sketches.

Nathan Lane had a cameo, and he was great.

Hi, Iris!

DR Iris · « **Reply #231 on:** February 16, 2025, 09:41:56 PM »

Now I will try to find it online, so I can watch parts of the show again.

Last night, they showed the very first SNL episode, hosted by George Carlin.

I miss him.

DR Iris · « **Reply #232 on:** February 16, 2025, 09:42:33 PM »

Super health vibes for Jane, Vixmom, John G. and all in need.

DR Iris · « **Reply #233 on:** February 16, 2025, 09:43:14 PM »

We currently have winds blowing at 60 miles per hour.

Hope the power stays on.

DR Iris · « **Reply #234 on:** February 16, 2025, 09:43:53 PM »

Hi, John!

Wishing you a quick recovery from Covid.

Lots of it going around.

DR Iris · « **Reply #235 on:** February 16, 2025, 09:45:33 PM »

I haven’t had Covid yet.

I am referred to as a “Novid”. 😊

DR Iris · « **Reply #236 on:** February 16, 2025, 09:47:45 PM »

Wishing everyone a good week!

John G. · « **Reply #237 on:** February 16, 2025, 10:16:06 PM »

This is my first time.

John G. · « **Reply #238 on:** February 16, 2025, 10:16:36 PM »

I'm not sure about anything about it.

John G. · « **Reply #239 on:** February 16, 2025, 10:16:56 PM »

But I will hopefully sleep on it.
