From last night:  after I mentioned that I was going to a cast party, Tom asked, "I thought pug had the cast party last weekend?"

We did have a cast party last week...there's no law that says you can only have one cast party. ;D

DR Ginny, no, I doubt there will be an Encores! recording of Mack & Mabel.  When I got home and read the program, I was surprised to see the credit I got with Joshie for the restoration of the orchestrations.  They sure sounded good!

BK, I am sorry that you cannot access the Rare Tracks on your computer.  In 2017, when I needed to downsize CDs to remove a CD shelf and make room for a cat, I gave many boxes of CDs to Joshie and DR ChasSmith.  The ones I wanted to keep that I had no shelf space for are buried in a storage carton under a pile of storage boxes that I am no longer able to lift or tote.  The disc might be there but I cannot get to it.

That was one of the loads that filled the back of my car. The library got the bulk of it, but I personally enjoyed some of DR Elmore’s cast-off opera CDs and DVDs, as did, by the way, our lovely I Do! I Do! couple.

Sadly, I can state that no copy of Rare Tracks was found accidentally placed among the booty.  :)

There are a couple of good free programs for converting files.  I used this one a lot, but it no longer works for me: https://online-audio-converter.com

I've also used this one: https://convertio.co/mp3-wav/

But I wonder also why you can't send the mp3 files via We Transfer and BK can convert them.

The boys across the street are visiting their dad this weekend.  The Dad must have a new girl friend because there are three girls of various ages also in the mix.....

And since spring is coming - in addition to the basketball we have tricycles, scooters, skateboards, and a hoverboard - the motorized thing you stand on.....

And since I have the steepest driveway in the neighborhood, they like to use it to launch themselves into the street.

The boys across the street are visiting their dad this weekend.  The Dad must have a new girl friend because there are three girls of various ages also in the mix.....

And since spring is coming - in addition to the basketball we have tricycles, scooters, skateboards, and a hoverboard - the motorized thing you stand on.....

And since I have the steepest driveway in the neighborhood, they like to use it to launch themselves into the street.

And you find this fun to watch or annoying?  I am guessing annoying.

Matinee day! Sold out, too.

After which I shall enjoy a quiet evening at home.

Congrats, ChasSmith!  Equivocation has pretty much a full house, too!  And they're really enjoying it!

Back from a matinee that was great fun. A packed house, consisting of a couple of clubs (Rotary and something else) in addition to regular folks. This crowd was eating up every word, and hilarity ensued. A rewarding end to a busy and crazy week.

Thank you George!

Sunday morning greetings!  All the talk about Mack & Mabel reminded me that back in the early '80s, before their Bolero number, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean ice danced to the overture and made figure skating history:

For a while, I used that music as my morning alarm on my old phone. ;)

DR elmore--thanks for your input.   I was talking to my friend Todd and he suggested just sending my iTunes library (which only consists of "Rare Tracks" so far) in an email.  I sent it to myself and it went through with no problem. 

That's pretty cool.  I've never heard of that...not that I know much of anything about iTunes.

You can block people on HHW?

I think so.  Or I was deliberately snubbed.  He's pulled this twice now.  I thought the first time might have been an oversight.  If I liked him, I might care more.

Someone said last week that when Theater Artists Olympia did Titus Andronicus here about six or seven years ago (I ran the sound board for that, too), the total over the run was about 50 people who left, usually during intermission (but not always).

We are more likely to stay through an entire matinee, however, at night we are sleepy & more likely to leave at intermission if we are not thrilled with the play.

My fifth floor neighbor Ann invited me for brunch.  It was quite lovely.  Now that I'm home, the kitties want their dinner.  I had planned to spend the day watching Sanditon, but the visit was a lot more fun.

Did you enjoy your brunch?

Crazy day.  Wrote more commentary but not enough.  Had many telephonic calls and then got a surprise from Grant who had a window to enter all the fixes I'd found, so that's what I did for most of the afternoon - those are all in now and I'm now giving the lyrics a thorough proofing and making sure there's nothing that didn't get done - and of course I'm finding a few things but it won't take more than twenty minutes if I don't find much more than I have - in the first 180 pages I've only found four small things.
