Hi George!  Could not reply on old thread.
Oh bugger.  I can't post photo of Ron Kuhlman and Kay Cole together.  File size too large.  Doug Haverty would know how to shrink it.

I have an app on my tablet and phone that can reduce the size of photos.  It's pretty effective for reducing the file size, but sometimes it can't reduce them enough.

Thank you to the internet for those!  Shoot, the photo of them together is really sweet, I just don't know how to minimize the pixels or dpi's or megabytes or whatever. Maybe our show producer Mr. Haverty will show me later today.

Excellent Saturday vibes to all.

Jane,

To answer your question of yesterday re: THE TWO POPES.

Yes, we enjoyed it...once they dropped the subtitles.

I never liked "reading" my movies.

Movies are for "seeing" and "listening," not "reading".

I slept quite poorly, so as soon as I fed the babies this morning I went back to bed for another hour and a half.  I had a strange dream about a large black woman working on becoming a music sensation.  I have no idea why I had this dream, none.

I got a lovely note from Patrick Brady this morning:
Also, I got those two PDFs you sent yesterday.   I had a chance to take a quick look at “Fiddle Faddle” and it looks FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC! Your work is so great, Larry.   I really mean it!   I’ve been working so hard on these Piano Conductors, and orchestrating and copying these other three numbers that I was getting a little overwhelmed - but to see all the wonderful work you had done - those beautiful orchestra charts - it got me all excited and inspired me to push on!

I had sent him scans of the two numbers I had written before I took the original scores to the post office yesterday morning.

Title: Re: THE DAY THAT CAME AND WENT WITH GREAT ALACRITY

Did somebody say AUDACIOUS?
One of Abe Lincoln’s favorite stories:

After the men and women had enjoyed themselves by dancing — promenading — flirting etc they were told that the supper was set. The man of audacity — quick witted — self possessed and equal to all occasions was put at the head of the table to carve the turkeys, chickens and pigs. The men and women surrounded the table and the audacious man being chosen carver whetted his great carving knife with the steel and got down to business and commenced carving the turkey, but he expended too much force and let a FART  —  a loud fart so that all the people heard it distinctly.

A deep silence reigned. However the audacious man was cool and entirely self possessed; he was curiously and keenly watched by those who knew him well, they suspecting that he would recover in the end and acquit himself with glory. The man with a kind of sublime audacity, pulled off his coat, rolled up his sleeves — put his coat deliberately on a chair — spat on his hands — took position at the head of the table — picked up the carving knife and whetted it again, never cracking a smile nor moving a muscle of his face. It now became a wonder in the minds of all the men and women how the fellow was to get out of his dilemma. He squared himself and said loudly and distinctly — “Now by God I’ll see if I can’t cut up this turkey without FARTING.”


I have a fine reading of that on one of those old “bawdy humor” LPs.

I was already reading two books from last year.  I just finished Carl Sagan's Contact, and am now currently reading Nico Tortorella's autobiography, Space Between: Explorations of Love, Sex, and Fluidity (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/0525576738/).

It's very interesting and Nico is very open about their (yes, "their") life.  Nico's gender is fluid and uses the "they/them" pronouns.

Finished my first book of the year, Carson McCullers’ The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. Really loved it, especially since reading February House and knowing of how she wrote it while sharing a house with Benjamin Britten, W.H. Auden and Gypsy Rose Lee, among others.

I was already reading two books from last year.  I just finished Carl Sagan's Contact, and am now currently reading Nico Tortorella's autobiography, Space Between: Explorations of Love, Sex, and Fluidity (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/0525576738/).

I borrowed The Heart is a Lonely Hunter to re-read.  First I need to finish The Guardians, Grisham's latest book.

Art least she didn't share the house with Gypsy Rose Lee"s mom Rose Hovick.  Rose probably would have pushed someone out a window.

But hopefully out a ground floor window.

No tattoos, Vixmom. But there’s no reason I’m still awake.

Mom, who has no padding anymore, needs it a little warmer in the house than I like.

It is!  And anything worth celebrating is worth preserving (even if it's not at the exact moment ;) ):

Back from a completely sold out show.  Great audience that could have been even greater were it not for some sloppy stuff and some underplaying, which simply doesn't work in this show.

I am very shaken today.  Either Nicky’s vet or his pharmacy almost killed my little boy.  The dosage on Nick’s pain medication was double what it should have been.  The bottle says 1ML every 12 hours.  The doctor says that is is supposed to be 1/2 ML every 12 hours.  That is the reason he was throwing up his medication.
