Well, you've read the notes, the notes got their kicks on Route 66, and now it is time for you to post until the spam-filled cows come home.

Post by: George on July 11, 2015, 01:11:15 AM
A friend asked if I would buy tickets to the concert for her (she gave me the money) because she was going ti be on a plane when the tickets went on sale, so yesterday I got a call from the WCPA box office saying that they had to cancel the concert because of Patti's new shooting schedule for "Penny Dreadful" and none of Patti's alternate dates worked for The Center.

Sadly, very sadly, no.  I have to help my sister unload a couch from a truck this morning, and then I'm helping clean up The Midnight Sun after last month's production of "Tartuffe," and then the family celebrating my sister's boyfriend's birthday.  In amongst all of that, I MUST do some laundry.

Good morning, all!  I woke up to the news of Roger Rees' death, and it saddens me.  He was a fantastic actor and a very lovely man, whom I only saw occasionally.  I remember running into him once in LA at that wonderful donut restaurant when I was out mixing an album with BK, and the last time I saw him was around five or six years ago when I was in the Verizon store to get a new cell phone after I had dropped mine into a pot of boiling water; I made him laugh when I told him that my cell phone was now a vegetable.

He was at the "Herringbone" CD release party in December, of course, since he'd directed the performance that's on the CD.

I've been to market and now I'm enjoying the AC. 

I had a Moross festival this morning; I listened to The Golden Apple and the 1963 City Opera premiere of Gentlemen, Be Seated!  I can't tell if the missing sections are from the original bootleg tape or performance cuts.  The opening of Act Two is completely gone, but I suspect that's an error by the original recorder.  The late great Carol Brice is absolutely amazing on Harriet Tubman's The Freedom Train" and the closing lament for Abraham Lincoln, "Have You Seen Him?"  There's no one like her today.

The movie with orchestra was truly delightful and a lot of fun. They packed the hall.


The conductor looked like she was just winging it (synchronicity-wise) with sight cues. Perhaps the movie is just of an older vintage which doesn't lend itself to electronic wizardry.

Howdy.

Just a quick check-in between library sale, a bunch of errands, and it being about time to get ready to pack the car with food and drink and head over to the outdoor venue for HAIRSPRAY.  Really looking forward to seeing and hearing it, however good or bad it might be.  I suspect it's pretty good, even though I have no knowledge of the director or music director, or any idea how the band might be.  But it's been over a year since I last immersed myself in the material, and I shall enjoy myself regardless.

So what did I come home from the sale with?

Not much.  A few Broadway CDs, a German cast album of MY FAIR LADY on vinyl, and just a couple of paperbacks to read and pass on.

That said, it was quite a good sale, lots of decent stuff of various types for those who want it.  Some music, too, though the only thing I would have had an interest in was a stack of Webern miniature scores.  I wasn't willing to gamble on remembering which ones I have, so I would have had to take the lot.  Oddly, there was not one thing of Berg or Schoenberg, which I'd certainly expect to see alongside a stack of Webern.

Then I went to The Midnight Sun to help other board members of TAO clean up, but I had to leave and come home so that I could take another shower so that I could be clean enough to go out with  the family to celebrate my sister's boyfriend's birthday today.

I also need to start a load of laundry before I take a shower so that it'll all be done and dry before I have to leave.

I also stopped in at Barnes and Noble to place my pre-order for Harper Lee's GO SET A WATCHMAN for Tuesday pickup.  Listening to all the hype about it (and I don't mean hype in a bad way), I finally had to give in.

I am very hesitant to read it.  Since I am now 19 books behind my reading schedule, vs my normal 3-4 books ahead, I wouldn't rush to get it anyway.

I thought my library had ordered the e-book, but they hadn't.  I went into our OverDrive site and had to "recommend" that they buy it.  Hopefully, they will.  They did order the regular print book (208 holds so far), the large print book (85 holds), and the talking book on CD (49 holds), so I'm pretty sure that they will order the e-book.

Saturday evening greetings!  Richard still has his cold and he's not a happy camper.  He finally went to the doctor yesterday, but there's not much they can do but let it run its course.  Found out today that Mom has it, too.

All in all, I'd rather be back in California.

Just dropping in briefly to say "hello".

The surgery went well, but the recovery is going to be several weeks or months.

I've spent the last few days mostly sleeping.

Glad the surgery went well....Speedy recovery vibes!

I've been very busy today getting things done that I won't be able to right after surgery, getting the water for my dispenser, salt for the water softener, stuff like that.  I've also gotten a bunch of other chores done and plan on doing more tonight.   I've lost weight and it's given me a burst of energy.
