I enjoyed hearing Dino at the piano last night.

[John G.]

Good morning, all.

[ChasSmith]

Did you mention rehearsals?

If I've neglected to mention them, then maybe I should - because next week I've got a couple of two-rehearsal days, and a rehearsal/performance day.

[John G.]

I enjoyed hearing Dino at the piano last night.

He can still tickle those ivories.

[Jane]

DR George the cat boxes are great and the cat is beautiful.   Is she a part or full Maine Coon cat?

I saw the word and you got lucky getting it in six.

I was barely conscious during the actual sixties, so I don’t remember much about what I listened to then, except for the soundtracks to Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music.

[Jane]

Keith got Wordle in five.

[Laura]

Good morning.

[Jane]

DR Jrand, please share a few of the spectacular views we saw today.

[Freddie]

I was barely conscious during the actual sixties, so I don’t remember much about what I listened to then, except for the soundtracks to Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music.

For some reason, the version of "Mary Poppins" that I recall listening to a lot in the 1960s was a studio version where Marni Nixon sang the "Mary Poppins" songs.

[Freddie]

I can pinpoint what I listened to in the 1960s vs. the 1970s pretty clearly because in summer 1970, we moved from Flatbush (when the record player was in the living room) to Luna Park in the Coney Island area (when the record player was actually in my bedroom). 

[Freddie]

In the 1970s, we were very near a Korvettes store with a great record department, and I recall buying a lot of LPs at Korvettes once we moved to Luna Park. 

[Freddie]

Did you mention rehearsals?

If I've neglected to mention them, then maybe I should - because next week I've got a couple of two-rehearsal days, and a rehearsal/performance day.

Sending more rehearsal vibes. 

I was surprised that you hadn't mentioned rehearsals. 

[Freddie]

I enjoyed hearing Dino at the piano last night.

Ditto!

[Freddie]

DR Jrand, please share a few of the spectacular views we saw today.

Great to hear you're having such great experiences, Jane!

[Freddie]

In the 1960s, since I was in Yeshivah and (for an under-ten-years old kid) therefore, rather fluent in conversational Hebrew, I was very taken with the Hebrew cast recordings of The King and I, Oliver and Hello Dolly. 

[Freddie]

At least in that period where I wasn't ten years old yet, I recall being particularly enchanted by the translations for The King and I.   

[Rodzinski]

What a surprise and a treat to hear Dino! Dino at the piano!

[Rodzinski]

I have (or had) a couple records in shrinkwrap with Korvette’s stickers on them.

For some reason, the version of "Mary Poppins" that I recall listening to a lot in the 1960s was a studio version where Marni Nixon sang the "Mary Poppins" songs.

It’s like the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang I know is from a cheapie version by the Richard Wolfe Children’s Chorus that my mom bought my siblings. Some memorable arrangements.

[Freddie]

I have (or had) a couple records in shrinkwrap with Korvette’s stickers on them.

At least in the 1970s, when the Korvettes on Cropsey Avenue near Coney Island had one of their department-wide sales, with the color-coded pricing stickers on them, there were indeed bargains to be found

[Rodzinski]

Like the wah-wah guitar on Toots Sweet.

[Rodzinski]

Bright orange must have been the cheapest Korvette’s price.

God damned Fed Ex! Supposedly, they delivered two 29-lb cartons of kitty litter to my lobby. Since the elevator was out of order yesterday I could not go down to get them. Jen told mer last night that she saw no cartons for me in the lobby.

Sure enough, this morning I took the trash to the basement and picked up my mail. No cartons of litter. Petsmart just placed a new order at no charge, thank God, but where the fat hell did a clearly dyslexic delivery person leave the litter?

[Freddie]

When we finally got the Disney soundtrack, the internal record sleeve for the Disney release of MARY POPPINS was (IIRC) my first encounter with magical titles like "Italiannette" and "Hawaiiannette"

[Freddie]

Hawaiiannette (Hawaiian Love Talk)

DR elmore3003 - do you sleep with an extra pillow between your legs? I hope.

Yep. Ever since we recorded Roberta in Dublin, 2013. Annalene Beechy's mother, a wonderful lady, suggested it.

The day that Medicare provides you with some home help can't come soon enough. Can't that be accelerated?

Hoping that will add years to your life, and quality of life in terms of wear and tear on your body
