The potential possibility of the publishing is pretty cool, BK. ;D
I love Bette Midler!

Did I miss it or was our DR ChasSmith the only one to respond to my vibraphone question yesterday?
The answer:
Show: The New Moon, 1928
Orchestrator: Hans Spialek
Very nice DR FREDDIE.
Did I miss it or was our DR ChasSmith the only one to respond to my vibraphone question yesterday?
Oh, yes! I forgot.
DR Rodzinski made a guess of Lionel Hampton.
I have postponed the getting until tomorrow.
Thanks DR ELMORE - it will be nice to not have to worry about so many things.....
I saw a Starfighter reading at some point at a theatre space somewhere. Then I saw the full festival Brain production on 42nd Street.

Was that the Last Starfighter reading with BK?
I am taking it very easy today. My Social Security landed, so I will pay some bills and that's about it.
I just got an email from our DR singdaw:
Can you please let everyone at HHW know that I arrived safely in New Jersey.
However, the Internet connection is not working. Should have a new router Thursday morning and then I will be back.
I love Bette Midler!

Anniversary of our musical "The Last Starfighter" (original cast album is on BK's Kritzerland label - it's 20 years from its Nov. 2005 release in a few weeks)
Today (Oct. 15) is the anniversary of a show of ours that really came together with everyone on the same page, even crucially the writer of the original screenplay - the opening night of our musical "The Last Starfighter" - book by me (Fred Landau), music and lyrics by Skip Kennon, based on the screenplay by Jonathan Betuel.
We debuted at the Storm Theatre, a non-profit theater company run by Peter Dobbins which is coming back to NYC this spring after having been based in Texas several years.
Here's the love ballad "Reach Out" music and lyrics by Skip Kennon sung by Julia Motyka and Charlie Pollock, from the original cast album on Bruce Kimmel's Kritzerland label.

Not sure. I can kinda remember where it was but not who else was there.

I've met quite a few former and current dear readers, but in those days, people really would come to various places - several came to the opening of The Brain from Planet X - that was fun. We had some really big gatherings in NY, I went to Portland and saw quite a few folks, David and I went to see George's production of The Brain and I went to Indiana to see the Buck Creek production and met Jrand. Much less so in recent years, sadly.

And it was great to have you and David come to Olympia to see our show, and to actually be in The Brain! :D
Well, this is an exciting Criterion January release. I loved this film!
DR John, there is even a sequel to the The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared ;D
One of the symptoms, which I haven't experienced, with this vascular disease I now have is loss of eyesight. I was very pleased to have my yearly eye check early this morning and have my excellent opthamologist check my eyes.
All looks good though the eye plugs aren't helping my dry eyes as much as I had hoped.

I don’t know. It’s become a little too Forrest Gump for my tastes. I’m halfway through and enjoying it. But probably only one trip for me.

Glad to hear your eye check went well, DR Jane.
As for my Wordle score today: 4/6
I liked the extended edition of That Thing You Do!
The characters are more filled in....and the relationships are more defined.
There is indeed a scene that lets us know the Tom Hanks' character does indeed have a boyfriend (football player Howie Long) who stops by the hotel to pick Tom up for a party.....Tom Everett Scott's character arrives back at the hotel drunk and Tom makes Howie wait while he takes care of TES - Guy.
Howie suggests that they just take him along an idea that Hanks nixes with a look and a smile.
I dreamt the other night I had to convince people to try a sweet pie made with squash. Today I found a recipe for squash pie. Totally strange.

Pumpkin pie is a squash pie.
It doesn't sound as good-lol

That’s why the dream was strange and finding a recipe for it even stranger.

Grandma duty was taking the young'un to school. Mama had an early morning job interview.
Then I took my new hiking boots for a hike on the mountain. I haven't been there in a long time, since it was so brown and sad all summer with no rain.
Very green this time, though!
Thirty minutes ago, YouTube went completely down, functioning-wise. You can go there but no videos load and nothing works. No statement yet from anyone. Affecting everyone.
My copy of Love Life has been delayed again.

Not sure. I can kinda remember where it was but not who else was there.
Was it in a rehearsal studio with wooden bleachers?
Were actors holding scripts?

Yes, wooden bleachers and wooden… boxes? As sets? Yes, on book, I believe.
