Well, you've read the notes, the notes were nice and didn't cough, and now it is time for you to post until the coughing cows come home.

Such good news.  Peter was a good friend of ours.

Peter was also music director and pianist when I presented my show way back in 1994 in Stephen Schwartz and Michael Kerker's Workshop, before a panel which was Mr. Sondheim and Mr. Schwartz.  A special day, and Peter made that go well.

Boy, did we get the deluge last night. I'm so relieved that they went with the forecast well in advance and had the rehearsal indoors. We ran the entire score with just band and the three leads. Got some stuff cleaned up, but there are a couple of students in the band, and even this somewhat "sanitized" revised score is challenging in parts if you don't have the sound of Evita in your ears, so there's still too much slop. It should hopefully be cleaner by the weekend.

As a kid, I was prone to getting ear infections when I had a bad cold, and I also remember it being called swimmer's ear. Is swimmer's ear just what they call being prone to it?

I've only had one ear infection as an adult, but it was a doozy requiring antibiotics. Ear aches are a nasty feeling. I hope to never have another.

Ask BK:

I'm late in answering the recent TOD about cold remedies, and I don't remember if you said you ever try cough medicines, specifically.

My go-to is Robitussin DM (don't ask me what the variations mean, I just know the "DM" variety works for me), and I do fine with cheaper store brand equivalents, usually called Tussin DM or some such.

Lately I've learned my lesson, which is to start taking it while I have the cold and NOT wait till the cold's almost passed and I'm starting the ubiquitous lingering cough. However, that being said, it's never too late to start. When I was first introduced to it, I was in the throes of constant coughing following a cold, and it absolutely helped to quiet it and give me some peace and relief. Highly recommended by me, regardless of whatever other cold remedies a person likes.

Whoa. I haven't listened to that in several years, and I'd forgotten it was one of BK's. I loved it, and that recording served me well when I crash-learned the score to play it for a local theeder group for one weekend. It turned out to be a great experience and I've always wanted to have another go at it when I can take more time to learn it better.

(I'm only familiar with the original version, not the "revisal" that multiplies the couples. The original might be dated, but so are other such shows. It had charm and was a lot of fun, and I didn't think it needed to be expanded in any way.)

I'm not arguing that, yet there seem to be differing opinions on this.  The doctor in Ashland said he would reassess in five years and decide depending on Keith's health.  If he retires before then Keith will definately be done ;D

It took me five minutes to hike down the sinkhole, and three minutes to get out.

When I got out, some other hikers were just coming with their small dog. I told them not to go down. We stood at the surface and could hear the mama and cubs vocalizing to each other.

Jane, I'm sorry you didn't get the report you wanted. Vibes the polyps are nothing. I hope your throat feels better soon.

Thank you.  I am expecting the colon polyps to be ok while a bit more concerned about the endoscopy ones.

As a kid, I was prone to getting ear infections when I had a bad cold, and I also remember it being called swimmer's ear. Is swimmer's ear just what they call being prone to it?

I've only had one ear infection as an adult, but it was a doozy requiring antibiotics. Ear aches are a nasty feeling. I hope to never have another.

Yeah, doesn’t have to be from swimming, even. But a little moisture stuck in the canal can hasten the problems.

I think I'd be eating mashed potatoes now, if I were you.

I tried a little ice cream again and it only helped a little.  Black licorice helps except I can only eat a couple of pieces a day.  I think the potato will be soothing.  Maybe I will scramble some eggs to go with it.

I was hiking alone, and I hiked down into a sinkhole. Imagine rolling out bread dough nice and thick and then using a big cookie cutter to cut straight down and lift the big circle out.

It was so green and lush. The trail wraps around the outside of the sinkhole and goes down like a spiral. The plants and birds in the sinkhole were different than what was up at the surface. I think I spooked up an owl, which flew off.

Super cool.  No wonder it was on your bucket list.

I know next to nothing about Jayne Mansfield except for seeing her in a couple of movies. Maybe I'll seek out the documentary sometime and learn a little something.

I don't know if she said this, but I remember seeing a commercial for a movie, and I think it was one of hers, where she said something like, "Step back, gentlemen.  I take deep breaths." ;D

Was Miles Gloriosus in FORUM saying "Stand aside, everyone. I take large steps." a reference to that?

Could be, but I don't know which came first.

If the nose drops aren't enough, I have used steamy paper towels held up to the ear.  You might google what to do in case there is a problem.  Better methods might be suggested these days compared to when Bryan was young.

The Fat Spy features, in fact, opens with, the band the Wild Ones. Before the opening credits even begin. The Wild Ones were led by Jordan Christopher who is a romantic lead in the film and later starred in Angel Angel Down We Go.

The Wild Ones were the first band to record Wild Thing before British Invasion band, the Troggs took it to the top of the charts.


After Richard Burton dumped his wife, Sybil, for Liz Taylor, she married Jordan Christopher. She ran a nightclub in NYC where the Wild Things would play. It was a discotheque called Arthur. The couple stayed married until he died in 1996.


The Wild Ones have a soft spot in my heart also for performing the theme to “Lord Love a Duck.”
