Well, you've read the notes, the notes were about headshots, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they think headshots today are udder nonsense.

The first concert I went to was when I was aged 10 in 1956. It was a special school classical music concert conducted by Muir Mathieson with, I think, the LSO. They performed at a local school (not my school) which had a big theater hall - I recall sitting in the circle. The only piece which I remember being played and recognised was Holst's Planet Suite. At that time Mars from the suite was very popular as it was used as the theme for the BBC TV series Quatermas II. After then, I always notced Mathieson's name on film credits.

TOD: The first concert I saw was Lou Rawls. I went with my sister, her college roommate and another friend of theirs. We were the four white people there, at least in our section of the theater. And we were dressed for a rock concert, while the rest of the audience was dressed in their best, complete with their Sunday crowns. Great concert.

TOD:

Probably some organ recital in Columbus, because organ was the initial focus of my musical interest as a child.  I remember one in particular in Mees Hall at Capital University, where I saw the woman play who was to become my first organ teacher soon after.

There was also some duo-pianist concert about that time.  I will probably never have any way of discovering who they were.  Not Ferrante and Teicher, though my parents had a few of their records.  Probably someone regional, and I believe the concert was performed in our church.

I don't think I attended any instrumental concerts other than piano or organ till we'd moved to Florida a couple of years later.  Florida is where I saw my first live theater, and it wasn't until much later that I would have been to any other kind of live venue such as a club.

TOD:

Besides those concerts given by my family band.....I would guess that my first REAL concert was one by Sonny & Cher.....opened by David Brenner - it was rather lackluster.....although

We were standing outside with a group of people before the show began.....and a big car pulled up, and I got pushed forward and stepped on Cher's toe as she was rushed into the building.  She just looked at me and said "Damn!"

Good morning. I have jury duty today.

TOD: When I was about 13, my Girl Scout troop decided to disband. So we had a frenzy of spending our treasury money so we didn't have to turn it over to the state administrators. We went to see Three Dog Night at the Phoenix Coliseum. What is funny about that is that my mom wouldn't allow me to go see Donny Osmond at The Coliseum, because "they do drugs there."  I doubt there were drugs at Donny's concert; there certainly was funny smoke at the Three Dog Night concert.

TOD - the first concerts I remember attending were the ones my sister was in when she attended our high school 9 years ahead of me.  There were winter and spring extravaganzas, featuring the entire music department.  Also, in the spring, there was Band-o-rama, with the concert band, marching band, and jazz band, whose theme was Peter Gunn.  My sister was in the vocal groups and I remember the big excitement when she had a solo, "Many a New Day," from OKLAHOMA.  I learned a lot of concert etiquette from attending those events with my parents.

First professional pop concert was Peter, Paul, and Mary at Detroit's Masonic Auditorium.  Went with a group of high school friends and felt very hip.  At the same venue, I saw The Kingston Trio and Bette Midler on her first tour, with Barry Manilow as her pianist and Melissa Manchester as one of the Harlettes.

TOD:

Never been much for live performer concerts...probably the first one I saw was Andy Williams who was sang at my University at Homecoming. 

Every year our high school chorus did a concert at the high school with the Cincinnati Symphony in the school gym.  These were probably the first concerts I attended.  The chorus did a couple of pieces with the Orchesta, then they did several symphonic pieces.  I was later a member of this chorus..these were often conducted by a young associate conductor, Erich Kunzel.  Kunzel later rose to prominence in Cincinnati and world-wide as the conductor of the Cincinnati Pops.  A much beloved figure in Cincy.

I also remember as a young actor going to see concerts, probably really nightclub acts, of Anthony Newley and Bobby Short at the Fairmont Hotel in Dallas, Texas.  I've seen a few of Bobby Short's concerts.

I'm not really sure what my first concert was. But when I was a teenager my uncle (who loves concert) would alternate taking me and my sister with him.  I remember seeing Madonna and ZZ Top off the top of my head (had to go see whatever he wanted to see). I also remember going with my sister to see Ricky Martin in concert many years ago.

Topic of the Day:

I think that my first live concerts would have been when we lived in Colorado.  We used to go to orchestra concerts in a very large park in Colorado Springs.  I don't remember much about them, except that there was a large, square and very shallow pool in the park...not a swimming pool, but one just for decoration, I guess.

Other than those, the first concert that I chose to go to would've been (surprise, surprise!) The Manhattan Transfer!  A high school friend and I went up to Seattle and saw them at the Paramount Theatre (this was during the 1983-84 school year).  We were up in the balcony and had great seats.  I saw them there the next year with a co-worker and they were still good...still are!!

It was from the last year or two. And I will put it this way: Foyle is a 10 out of 10. Injustice was a 7.

I was #38 out of 45. The last one they picked was #29. Boy, was she  $^@&%#. I have never sat through such a long jury selection process before. It took from 10 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.

Good afternoon.  Posting from a Peets Coffee and Tea.  Not sure why I'm here but it might be the free wifi.  I have to kill some time before rehearsal.  I wish I knew when I had to be there, though.  Oh well, flexible is my middle name.

One never needs an excuse to be at a Peet's.   What needs an excuse is being at a Starbucks when a Peet's is nearby!   ;D

Well, the Starbucks is a block over, but for some reason, I always end up at Peet's when I need to kill time.  It's much cooler :)

Monday morning greetings!  We were at the vampire's blood lab shortly after 8 this morning, where it took 2 people and 3 sticks to get the vials needed for tests ordered by 2 different doctors.  We then went out for a nice breakfast at Cracker Barrel and now I'm ready for a nap.

:(

EXCELLENT RESULT VIBES!!!

Thanks, DR Jane.  I've already received the results of one of the tests and it's not great.  The doctor and I will be discussing my Coumadin regime tomorrow.

:(  Good luck with the rest of the results and your office visit tomorrow.

TOD: I think it would have to be when I saw Tony Bennett with my brother when I was about 15.  He was on leave from the Navy and was going back the next day, I think.   I took a picture of Tony bowing at the end.  I don't remember being told you weren't supposed to do that!

I'm very excited that the tenants renting the house above us have split and taken their pot farm with them.  The owner is there now and getting the house ready to sell.

I may periodically ask for some selling to nice people vibes, at a good price ;)

Had to read that a few times as when you have "pot" and "selling" in the same post, it's easy to read it wrong :P

Possibly, DR Jane.  Most likely it's from the antibiotic I took last week.

I've only had to go down to the courthouse once, and the trial was delayed, so we all got to leave just about as soon as we got there.  Otherwise, I've never been picked.  I've actually only gotten "the card" once before that.

LOL I lot of that had been going on.  I spoke to another neighbor today with a view of the pot.  He is the one that told me it is gone.  He is extremely happy.  Apparently that stuff smells horrible during the growing/blooming season.

I mentioned to the neighbor we saw a car with Nevada plates going up the road.  It turns out those are her new plates.  Really, the woman drove right past us leaving our driveway & didn't stop or say hello, or even mention what had been going on up there.  The first time Keith saw her drive by he was standing on the side of the road doing work.  Even if she didn't recognize us she could have waved.

Driving back from the job, I had a nasty moment when I spotted a bumper immediately ahead of me in the road which had obviously fallen off somebody's vehicle. It was dark so I didn't see it until I was right upon it and at the speed i was going I couldn't avoid driving right over it.  

Yikes!  Hope your car and tires are fine!

I'll be inspecting the tires tomorrow when it's light!

Hope everything's OK!

Keith reminded me today I need to sort out the insurance for Medicad this year so he can knows how to change our insurance.

I did, what I thought would be a quick search to see what needs doing.  Finding out when I need to apply was easy & the good news.  I don't apply until September.  After that I'm confused as to what benefits & parts of this to apply for.

I went on the website for my Regency Blue Shield/Blue Cross insurance and found a better explanation of the various parts. 

Now I'm stumped again as I didn't see a link to what I can purchase from my ins co. as supplemental insurance.

If anyone has tips or suggestions I would appreciate hearing them.

I've had a short nap, and I just answered some questions from a retired British singer I'm courting to play Aunt Minnie/Madame Roberta on the recording. I am a huge fan of hers and her husband is a delightful email correspondent.

I have to think about dinner. Perhaps some more fish. I could take some of the chicken soup out of the freezer. Hmmm . . .

I think the first concert I attended was the Seattle Symphony.  They used to come to Tacoma once or twice a season for Young Peoples Concerts.  Since my mom taught Junior High music, I got to leave grade school to go with the junior high kids to the concert.

I think the first "pop" concert was The Beach Boys in 1965.
