If the singer hadn't even looked at the music by Tuesday, how did she think she would be performance ready by Sunday?

Granted, I am not a trained musician.  I am an actor that sings, not the reverse; but I would need to be close to ready before I ever came to a rehearsal.

What I'm listening to right now, many days later than planned:

BK's interview podcast re NUDIE MUSICAL.  It's really great, so as I listen, I'm browsing down the list of these people's other podcasts, and there are three or four others I absolutely have to try.
Title: Re: THIRD TIME IS NOT THE CHARM
Post by: ChasSmith on August 03, 2016, 05:40:00 AM
I'd had to stop listening to the podcast at the point where they break and BK comes on, so it was an easy thing to resume at that point.  It really is good.

Well.....our costumes did NOT arrive yesterday.  So we were all sitting around....an hour early.....

The costumer said they were shipped from New York on Monday....and all I could think was....."...and you really expected them to be here on Tuesday?"   UPS?  There were all sorts of excuses, etc.....and she said she was told they were "on the truck...."....

There is something else I wish was "on the truck."

So I ask one of the dance captains to help me with the dance for "Cool Cool Considerate Men".....so we went out to the lobby to work on it.

HOWEVER when we got to the song in the rehearsal....what she taught me was NOTHING like what everyone was doing.  In fact, I am sure they do something different every night....

I spoke to Joshie.  I will stay home today and spend the day with him tomorrow.  I cannot get out of my cabaret date tonight, and I want to be able to walk to and from West 22nd Street to a bus stop.

Tomorrow, I'll see my doctor at 8:15, go to the pharmacy, and then be at City Center around 10:00.  We;ll have a fun day before I head home.

So, we have a show tonight.  And does that feel weird, or what?  What did we play...like, one and a half dress rehearsals?  And now we have a couple of subs on a couple of these make-up nights. 

I'd hazard a guess that the cast has gotten together to run it, but man, I can't even imagine what tonight's going to feel like.

Thanks, DRs JRand and George!  The doctor and Richard agree that there's been some improvement, but the doc says it can take 6 months for a nerve to fully recover.  He ordered a stronger Fresnel lens and told us to come back in a month.  After a couple of errands near the doctor's office, we went into downtown Hamilton for lunch at one of our favorite delis.

The unsuccessful errand was to the bank where Richard and I have our joint checking account.  They have a no-fee coin sorting machine for customers and I wanted to turn my accumulated coins and ones into my mad money for the papercrafting trade show I'm attending this weekend.  The machine was out of order, of course, and the other financial institutions we patronize do not have that service.  My only option, it seems, is to use the one at Kroger, which charges a fee unless you take your proceeds in gift cards.

My credit union has one also, but you have to deposit it into your account first.  Then, you can withdraw the amount that was deposited for no fee.  It's a bit of a hassle, but a work-around.

I don't know about the Chase bank here but our office in Ashland accepted coins and counted them free, if you donated them to a charity.    We had a large jar that at one time had been filled with English hard candies my mother gave me.  All these years we have filled it with coins and then cashed them in.  Before the move we took the jar to the bank and donated the money.  The woman who helped us thought the jar was great, especially when I told her how long I have had it.  I gave her the jar.  Downsizing is very difficult.    Craig wasn't even born when my mother gave me the jar.

Celia's show was quite nice, and she told the audience, which was true, that one of her recording's reviews called me a "national treasure."  Between that and "Broadway legend" on the Behind the Curtain site, and my ego is quite stroked for 2016.  It's a cross.

The show was quite lovely, and here are Celia, Alex Rybeck, and I after the show and before my bus mess.

I think once I get to Louisville I'll have more mental strength. But I will.

And of course, this coming Sunday is the big annual hydroplane race and the appearance by the Blue Angels in Seattle.

So naturally they are calling for showers and possibly thunder showers.

And this will be one of possibly a dozen times in my life that I have not been here for the hydro races.

I have actually been to the races a couple times in my life, but from the shore you can't really tell one boat from another.

This town park is quite lovely.  Grass and trees are beautiful, and there's this great little corner where they construct the stage and a lovely gently-banked lawn (if I called it a hillside you'd imagine something too big) which affords good sightlines for every audience member.

When Sandy decided on the Vegas trip, it didn't even occur to me that we were leaving the morning of the races.

I'm happy to hear Jenna Lea Rosen will be filling the bill.

I'm not a bit surprised it takes six months or longer to return to normal from something like what DH Richard is dealing with. 

I'll bet the car trip today was exciting.  :)    I know he will continue to improve.

Celia's show was quite nice, and she told the audience, which was true, that one of her recording's reviews called me a "national treasure."  Between that and "Broadway legend" on the Behind the Curtain site, and my ego is quite stroked for 2016.  It's a cross.

The show was quite lovely, and here are Celia, Alex Rybeck, and I after the show and before my bus mess.
