I know what you mean, Jennifer.  And even if I'm rinsing something out in the bathroom sink, I never trusted myself to leave it running while I left the room, like if the phone rang or something, I'd turn the water off before walking out.  That was even when I was in my 20's!

BK, I really enjoyed what you did with "I Wanna Be Like You" on the Kritzerland evenings you did in New York.

i hope this isn't wrong to say in this politically careful era, but having an actor who came across like a leading man but had real comic chops perform that song was inspired and you and he executed it really well.  Can't wait to hear what you came up with for that song this time.

I'll be traveling a large part of next week.  I had to get to Florida at some point soon, and was happily able to time it so I'll be able to spend some time with my mom on her 90th birthday on Tuesday the 3rd.  It turns out mom's booked up until 2:00 (what can I say, she's just busy), so i'll either do some of the work I need to do before that, or maybe spend time with my dad until mom gets home a little after 2, or both. 

Then, a young cousin in Dallas, Pennsylvania turns 1 and there's a party on Saturday morning, so I'm thinking  I'll go and stay over Friday night rather than take the bus early Saturday morning.  When I was younger, I'd have done it back and forth in a day, but dealing with the Port Authority crowds and lines for the bus can be stressful, in a way that the trains from Penn Station (like going to Baltimore or D.C.) almost never are.  The train doesn't go to Dallas, PA, unfortunately.

I'll be in New York Thursday, though, so i should be able to do the really important things like ketchup on HHW.   :)

"The train doesn't go to Dallas" - that should be a title of something.  Maybe using the confusion between Dallas, Texas and Dallas, Pennsylvania?  (like Beth Hatikvah being confused with Petach Tikvah in "The Band's Visit")

So, yesterday it got to the mid-80s here. Today we’re looking at 92. Tomorrow’s the big one, at 97, then back to low 90s for a couple of days till this thing has run its course.

You can probably add a few degrees to those for NYC.

FJL - Brent Barrett is doing I Wanna Be Like You in the Sherman event - he does it great, too.  And the guy who's doing it in the Kritzerland show, Roger Befeler, is also a leading man.  If Brent likes the bit in the middle, we'll keep it for the event, if not, not.  The big thing we're doing is the new additional verse Richard wrote for the live-action movie of The Jungle Book, that Chris Walken sang.

After listening to the first half of Ella sings Cole I may well repeat the Cole show - that show, which was exactly 45 shows ago, so that's fun, half of 90, was a disappointment to me in certain ways, mostly having to do with the musical director's problems and some casting that wasn't right.  I'd also switch up a few songs, but oh man did Mr. Porter write.

Can you imagine I've had this beautiful Ella Does the Complete Songbooks box in my closet in the other house since it came out and I never played any of it except some Rodgers and Hart when I was putting together that Kritzerland show?  I gotta tell you.  I can't remember what this cost when it came out around 2004-ish, but the cheapest copy on Amazon is $250 used - the only new copy is $700. 
Title: Re: JUNE IS NO LONGER BUSTING OUT ALL OVER AFTER TODAY
Post by: bk on June 30, 2018, 09:25:58 AM
Just checked eBay - copies can be had really cheaply there - one for 130 bucks for 16 CDs.  But I was wrong about when it came out - 1993 - but I don't think I got it that long ago - pretty sure I got it when I moved to the Studio City house in 2004.  I wonder if there have been newer, better masters, although this sounds pretty good to me.  I know DCC did at least some of these as gold discs, but those go for more than this entire set.  If these were remastered for the Verve Originals series, I might get one just to see the difference.

Norton is a very hot property these days and said he wasn't able to fit another season of GRANTCHESTER into his schedule.

Grubhub vs Uber Eats:
I've never used Uber Eats, but I have used Grubhub a few times. GH has both a delivery fee and a minimum, both of which vary from eatery to eatery. I found an Indian restaurant nearby that has no delivery fee and a relatively low minimum.  They are also happy to deliver without the GH intervention, so that's what I now do--I just order from their online site.

George, is this how Uber Eats works, too?

I love all of Ella's songbooks, but none more than the Porter. It was the first and some have knocked the sound or the haste of the production, but I don't care. Let her sing Ace in the Hole, and I'm happy.

Next Saturday at this time I will be heading into NYC to see Ginny, Ri hard, Elmore and Chas...is anyone else joining us?

Should I get there earlier and do brunch again?

Let's make a plan!

I thought there was some talk about going out for Mexican after the show...

Oh that's right you were going to introduce me to enchiladas

Nick seems to be fine, although I am not too sure  he is liking the twice a day pain medicine.

Thatch hates his once-a-day atenelol.  Some days I have to chase him down to give it to him.

Stumble-through was really fun - one major lyric blow-up but only because I threw a new version at the singer yesterday - he'll be fine.  And one of our performers had a migraine so took it easy, but her taking it easy was still hilarious and great.

Then we went to Barone's and shared pizza - I had a little dinner salad, and three pieces of their pizza, perhaps the equivalent of one-and-a-half slices of normal pizza.

Now I'm zoning out to Ella and Rodgers and Hart.  She has such simplicity and directness, never putting too much sauce on the lyrics.

I'll be traveling a large part of next week.  I had to get to Florida at some point soon, and was happily able to time it so I'll be able to spend some time with my mom on her 90th birthday on Tuesday the 3rd.  It turns out mom's booked up until 2:00 (what can I say, she's just busy), so i'll either do some of the work I need to do before that, or maybe spend time with my dad until mom gets home a little after 2, or both. 

Then, a young cousin in Dallas, Pennsylvania turns 1 and there's a party on Saturday morning, so I'm thinking  I'll go and stay over Friday night rather than take the bus early Saturday morning.  When I was younger, I'd have done it back and forth in a day, but dealing with the Port Authority crowds and lines for the bus can be stressful, in a way that the trains from Penn Station (like going to Baltimore or D.C.) almost never are.  The train doesn't go to Dallas, PA, unfortunately.

I'll be in New York Thursday, though, so i should be able to do the really important things like ketchup on HHW.   :)

A Very Happy (and very early) Birthday to your mom, Fred! :D

FJL - Brent Barrett is doing I Wanna Be Like You in the Sherman event - he does it great, too.  And the guy who's doing it in the Kritzerland show, Roger Befeler, is also a leading man.  If Brent likes the bit in the middle, we'll keep it for the event, if not, not.  The big thing we're doing is the new additional verse Richard wrote for the live-action movie of The Jungle Book, that Chris Walken sang.

That's pretty cool about the new additional verse!

Not in the lobby.  The concessions counter was kept open during the show so that we could sell to the vendors that were set up all throughout the lobby.  I got to watch a few people from the lobby monitor, though.

Jane, I saw my therapist, Erik, yesterday and asked him what he knew about CBD (cannabis) oil. He said that it should be fine, but that cannabis can change the DNA of one's offspring. I had never heard that. As I don't plan to have any children it won't affect me. My acupuncturist, who is also a nutritionist, doesn't seem to have any objections to it.

Really??  I hadn't heard that, either.  I wonder how it changes the DNA of one's offspring. :-\

Grubhub vs Uber Eats:
I've never used Uber Eats, but I have used Grubhub a few times. GH has both a delivery fee and a minimum, both of which vary from eatery to eatery. I found an Indian restaurant nearby that has no delivery fee and a relatively low minimum.  They are also happy to deliver without the GH intervention, so that's what I now do--I just order from their online site.

George, is this how Uber Eats works, too?

I've never used either.  I've just seen Uber Eats signs in local restaurants and even fast food places.  I can only assume that that's how it works.

I figure if they are willing to take ten dollars off the order, then it must be a bit pricey.

Almost finished with Ella and Duke - three CDs in that set.  Not one I'll return to much, I shouldn't think - it doesn't have the technical sheen of the other recordings, and it's a bit rougher.  She's great and the songs are great and the band stuff is Duke's band, after all, and there's a good deal of combo stuff, too.

A co-worker had Uber Eats deliver something to him at work and he said that it was a great convenience for him not to have to leave work, get in his car, go someplace, order something, wait for it to be made and/or cooked, then get back into his car and drive back to work to continue working on whatever project that he was working on.
