Good morning, all!

When we had no hot water, I turned up the radiator, thinking that was the reason the cats and I were freezing. Well, now that the water is hot again, the apartment is too warm, and I blame it and two appendages I like to call "formerly legs"for the lousy night of sleep I had last night. Around 1:30 this morning, I took a tizanidine and that knocked me out for about three hours, but the time between 3:30 and 5:30 turtled by in fits of tossing, turning, and wishing I were dead.

Now that I am awake, I'm happy I'm still alive.

TOD: Favorite submarine type sandwich would be a Philly cheesesteak. They make a really good one at the Westside Steakhouse across the street from us.

On the fast food front, the chicken sandwich from Burger King has been really excellent 90% of the times I've had it. (It seems important to ask for it as a special order, since when they've been sitting under the heat lamps, they can be just not as good.)

And the McRib at McDonald's - which is also in a submarine-style shape for the bun and the "rib" - is normally quite excellent, but they only have them for limited times for some reason.

Speaking of being dead, I am totally shocked by the news of Paul Ford's death. I've known Paul since 1983 or so, when he played one of the two pianos in Jerome Kern's Roberta, for which I scored the two movie songs, including the long fashion show. At the time, Paul was sharing an apartment with Bill Tynes, producer of The New Amsterdam Theatre Company. Meeting Paul was the highlight of working on Roberta. The low point was Bill Tynes' diagnosis with AIDS, which killed him in early January, 1987.

Until I quit working for The Drama Book Shop in 1997, I used to see Paul regularly on my way home from work as he was heading into the theatre district to play in the pit of whatever show he was currently working on. Each meeting was a short street encounter containing outrageous dish of performers and shows we liked or disliked and complaints of health and getting older. He was very limited in his likes and dislikes, as you learn in his wonderful book, and often frustrating and highly opinionated to the point of being irritating, but he was a dear friend. a wonderful musician, and I will miss him.

If you haven't read Paul's book, I do recommend it.

If I look up Drat! The Cat! on Spotify, I get two Graae numbers from Lost in Boston.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #16 on:** February 20, 2025, 05:02:54 AM »

Sorry, a playlist with one song from Boston and one from Unsung Musicals.

Yes, it's weird that BK's recording of Drat! The Cat! is not on streaming services.

It has hung around -30 wind chill for about a week.

Chai is a Hindi word meaning "tea." So if you say "Chai tea," you're really saying "tea tea."
