Well, you've read the notes, the notes ate too much, and now it is time for you to post until the too full cows come home.

I've only been in a couple of shows where an actor was replaced.  When I was in Annie in the mid-90s, the woman playing Miss Hannigan lost her voice during a Saturday matinee and the director wouldn't let her go on for that evening's second show.  Fortunately, the young woman who had played the role in a children's summer theater production a few years earlier (directed and chorographed by our director/choreographer...who staged and choreographed both productions in almost the exact same way ;) ), was able to rehearse between the two shows and performed that night!  She actually remembered quite a bit of it and was great!

The other time someone was replaced, I was running the sound board, so it didn't really affect me.  The original actress had a committment during the last weekend, but the director and writers really wanted her (it was an original musical adaptation of The Wind in the Willows), so they cast an understudy for the last weekend.  She was pretty good too, so it all worked out.

After kitty cleanup, I'll spend the morning doing very little.  I'll leave here just before noon for my doctor's appointment.  I read through several messages from Dr Finkelstein on my HMO site, and I found the reason I am seeing his surgeon today:  there was one polyp in my colon that the doctor could not remove and it needs to be removed surgically.

I've been reading a novel written by a friend, covering the period between the 1920s and now and the Broadway scene, and it's really a lot of fun.  It's about three friends, a trumpet player, a spotlight runner, and a singer-actress.  I finished Part One last night with a beautifully written and heartbreaking scene between the main character, a trumpet player in his mid-thirties playing in the Winter Garden orchestra of West Side Story at the time, and a pianist friend he'd met as an 18-year-old when the friend was playing piano in the 1940 production of Pal Joey.  The older pianist was no longer working as a musician and dying from cancer and the first part ended with the trumpet player fulfilling the older man's two requests, a hospital visit when summoned and a trumpet solo of "Danny Boy" at his funeral.

I have it in iTunes but it's the mastered version files in Sound Design and iTunes doesn't support Sound Design anymore so I can't play them or convert them as they're not even recognized.  I'm sure I have copies somewhere but I wouldn't know where to look.

Don't you have a backup of your computer on Time Machine?  You should be able to access all your iTunes Music on that external hard drive.  If so, drag it from your hard drive backup onto your desk top.  I checked my iTunes backups and the only CD of yours I downloaded was the "Haines His Way" CD.

It's a good thing they have those THINGAMABOBS to fix your DOOHICKEY.

I liked Dr. Aronoff and his staff very much.

I need surgery.  The proposed date is March 9, but I would prefer March 23.  It will entail an appendectomy for the polyp, a look at the lesion on my right kidney, and, if there's cancer, removal; of part of my colon.  I am a little freaked about it.

I have a question.  If I said that you are more than welcome to do something even though it is my turn, what would you think I was saying?

“Yo, bay-ach, get outta my way,” as politely as possible.

Insert Miss Thang face here. And two snaps.

Written or spoken?

I guess it would depend on tone... it could be construed as

“Sure, no problem if you would want to take my turn, I’ll do it another time”

Or it could be understood as

Being annoyed that someone is pushing you out of your turn so they can take over

Could you please do it as I don't really want to.

True it definitely depends on the tone. I took it completely at face value with a nice tone.

I don't know if I can finish Romero. Despite a great performance from Raul Julia, the movie is just too depressing.

Tonight's concert was excellent. First was an inspired performance of the Dvorak Cello Concerto with Andrei Ionita just knocking it out of the park. then the symphony did Sibelius' 7th Symphony and Strauss' Till Eulenspiel's Merry Pranks, both rousing.

I got the thrilling position of running one of the elevators, which is a vital spot when you have a large number of elderly people in attendance.
Title: Re: THE MAN WHO ATE TOO MUCH

The only thing I don't like is that if the elevator doesn't move for two minutes or more, the lights go out.
Title: Re: THE MAN WHO ATE TOO MUCH

Surprisingly, or maybe not so with the slight attendance, the lights went out about 2 minutes before the concert began.
