Well, you've read the notes, you've read two lovely reviews, and now it is time for you to post until the two lovely cows come home. They've been on their honeyMOOn.

I vaguely remember Commando Cody. I just checked the series out on IMDB, and I was surprised to learn that George Wallace had replaced John Raitt in The Pajama Game and starred opposite Gwen Verdon in New Girl in Town.

I saw him and his wife in the national tour of Company in Hershey, PA, in spring 1972. I believe.

Rodzinski, thank you for that Elliot Lawrence link in last night's posts. I'd never heard that before.  Very fine music there!

I've had a couple of days where I was busier than my decrepit body could stand. Today, I'm taking it easier. I have to email Joshie about creating a score template for me for the new ballet, and I have a telephonic meeting with Doug Fullington about the new ballet and registering Star on the Rise and the orchestral suite with ASCAP.

BK, when do you start getting screeners for your new nominating gig?

It's interesting in trying to decide which of my schools I should send the new book, that there's no real logic to which books the schools choose to include in their libraries.  I'd have thought Brooklyn College would be MORE interested in taking publications than Harvard, but Brooklyn College has included only the 21st century Oldies, volume 2: Climate and Global Warning, in their Humor collection.

But Harvard must have more money to store alumni books, since they also include the Last Starfighter musical (both versions, all-ages and age 12 and up) and even has something that I wrote to the New York Times in 1997.

In Harvard Library search under my name:
Item 1 - 21st Century Oldies, volume 1 from 2013
Item 2 and 3 - The two YouthPLAYS publications of The Last Starfighter musical
Then at item 9, they have a letter to the editor from 1997 in the New York Times on "Broadway tickets."  That's so long ago; I wonder if I sent it in, or they keep active searches for what alumni do.

I wish I was near LA, I’d come assemble those stools in about a half hour.

Places won’t assemble things where I live (although they will say they will, not realizing the remote strangeness of my location), so I had to get good at that.

There's a Fred Landau in the Las Vegas area - who knew?  (I guess I knew, since when I google myself, his stuff also comes up.)

I have nothing for the TOD as of yet, but I have a few ideas I might explore later today.

The ever-popular Bridgewater Country Fair opens this afternoon and runs through Sunday. I wonder if DR singdaw or anyone else in CT ever partook of that. Back around 20 years ago we used to work it for a while, helping to take tickets or sell foodstuffs, and then the rest of the day and evening we'd party it up. Great fun then, but who has the energy for such hijinx now? I think we're going over for a few hours sometime tomorrow.
