TOD:  For some reason, what got stuck in my head over the years is that my first really being aware of your name and talent and such was Dinah and Her New Best Friends.  But I googled that show and that wasn't until 1976, and I'm sure I was well aware of you well before that.

I slept well until 4:00 or so, when my mind started dealiong with the Zelle disaster from yesterday, and my anger and frustration with my bank. Before then, I had a long dream about working for Barnes & Noble over the Christmas season, only the store looked more lke the Lincoln Center Library for the Performing Arts. My manager Patty Spettel was in the dream, and I had a new co-worker, Jane Emerson, who died from a brain tumor maybe ten years ago. In the dream, I kept saying to her, I was tod you were dead.

Title: Re: DECEMBER 8, 1947. I AM BORN
Post by: elmore3003 on December 08, 2025, 04:29:27 AM
Jane Emerson was a complicated woman who had worked at the Drama Book Shop on and off in the 1970s. She came from wealth; her father was a surgeon and her mother, part of the Louis B. Mayer family tree, was the author Doris Grumbach, whose wonderful novel Chamber Music, based on the life of composer Edward MacDowell, is one of my favorite books. Jane and her husband Bob,another book shop employee, were married in the Book Shop. After they married, Jane was diagnosed with the brain tumor, and it was removed. She came back to the shop about the same time I was hired. I liked her, but she had a very prickly personality, and she had a lot of "I'm not pretty but I'm the smartest person in the room" attitude much like mine.
https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/nytimes/name/jane-emerson-obituary?id=32654554

After I left the Book Shop in 1997, I saw her or Bob intermittently, mostly at the 82nd Street-Broadway bus stop. It was Bob who told me the tumor had returned. Around 5 years ago, someone told me that Bob had died. He was a wondddddddddddddddctor/singer whose career never took off as it should.

The par-tay at the director's house was great. It was the kind of cast party you want to have. With but six adults in the show, all of them wonderful people who have known each other for years, and most of whom have great taste and abilities in the foodstuffs department, we had a remarkably good time.

But boy, was I exhausted on finally getting home. I think I felt exhausted even while sleeping through the night. Hell's Bells, I was as tired as Lili Von Shtupp, though for different reasons.

The staging is odd. There’s no chemistry between the singers. They never look at each other. Their voices, though, make it worthwhile.

I had a text when I got home, and had to give my regrets --

I don't think anyone I know is involved in whatever theeder it is, but someone's MD/pianist for a holiday show in Westchester County was in a car accident and is presently unable to play. And their show is this weekend. Of course we have two more weekends of our own show, and I can only hope they find someone fast, since their dress rehearsals are, like, tonight through Thursday. What a horrible situation. Unthinkable. I wish them (and the unfortunate person) the best.

I am heartened to see the NY Times actually calling out the Lack of Geography in the Merrily film:

Friedman, a longtime friend and collaborator of Sondheim, has regarded "Merrily" as a passion project, and she directs this filmed version of her own stage show, with the company RadicalMedia, who also made the live stage recording of "Hamilton" for Disney+. In immortalizing this musical, allowing it to be savored by new audiences, she's done a precious and admirable thing: seeing Radcliffe tear through "Franklin Shepard, Inc.," or the core trio clown and dazzle with "Bobby and Jackie and Jack," remains a gift.

But as a film director, Friedman adds little and, occasionally, inadvertently subtracts: This "Merrily" is too reliant on close-ups and frenetic cutting, which simply distract from the moving, beating heart of this wonderful play.


That's especially unfortunate because the Hamilton video is very likely the most perfect blend of visual viewpoints ever accomplished, which I know is saying a lot.
Title: Re: DECEMBER 8, 1947. I AM BORN

All of that said, I really look forward to the Merrily film, regardless.

Well, I was too impatient to wait for the bank. So, I am back online with new password and user name.

Now comes the bad news: my bank will only deal with Zelle on a smart phone, which I do not own. So, my publisher jumped the gun by using Zelle yesterday. I then got a text from Zelle telling me I had money and I needed to download the Zelle app.
And all hell began. I appreciate his concern to help me out, but I assumed I could use the app on an iMac.

I think my first look at BK was in 1980 when I first saw The First Nudie Musical. I went back later that night to see it again, and the next day I bought the soundtrack recording. After that, I would occasionally see BK in a TV commercial.

BK was a face I recognized from many things in the ‘70s. Laverne & Shirley, Partridges, etc. Then when I was a bit older, seeing First Nudie on Showtime late at night. Later would read about it in Danny Peary’s Cult Movies book. Some time around the turn of the millennium, my friend was obsessed with The Creature Wasn’t Nice and got me into that. I looked up BK to see what he was up to, wrote him an email via some other website but eventually was led here to this one.

One thing online says about Zelle.

Enrollment is mandatory: If you do not enroll to receive the money within 14 days of the sender initiating the payment, the transfer will expire, and the funds will be returned to the sender's account.

Not a quick solution, but even if your sender does nothing, the money will go back to him.

Well, I don't think the enrollment went through because I was not on a cell phone. I just do not know for certain. The other problem is that I'm not sure that Zelle support will get youi to a live person.

I first saw MR BK on the Partridge Family and I kept thinking I was seeing him in other things but sometimes the cast listing said Wes Stern.

Then like DR RODZINSKI I read about NUDIE MUSICAL in Danny Peary's book CULT FILMS.

In 2002 or 2003 former DR JMK would ask me questions and I would help him figure them out. He finally told me that the questions came from this here website - in a different configuration - and the winners would get a sparkling prize. So I started posting in 2004 or so.

I don't think at that time you had to JOIN....and it was more of a message board where you could write anything and sign any name....I know I commented many times as Ethel Merman, Ethel Mertz, and Dorothy Provine.

I even won a couple of sparkling prizes. And the fun has never ceased.

Happy Birthday to Mr. Bruce Kimmel.

Here is a slide show I created about 7 years ago, so it is a bit out of date....but the sentiment is there.

Since the lab in the large clinic where my rheumatologist is located does not take appointments I was there at 7:30 this morning when they opened.  I was second in line and home by 8:00.

My CBC results are already on MyChart  :o

I'd be careful with that money app, Elmore. My friend's account was drained, and the bank said they could not retrieve the money. It was gone.

I hope she didn't lose too much :(

Around $800.

Ouch but not has horrible as I feared unless that was all the money she had.

elmore, I have no idea what your bank is or what you did, but I have NEVER used a smart phone to set up anything anywhere. I set up Zelle on my computer by going to my bank's website where I have online banking. It was literally the click of a button to add Zelle - it took three seconds. And I have never had a problem receiving money through Zelle. Again, I don't know your bank and I don't know what you did, but BofA it's all online and I can do anything online via the computer and I don't know why that would not be the same for every bank.

I have a fun memory of first hearing about Bruce.  My first drama class was the day after we returned to school for the new semester.  Traditionally school began the day after Labor Day, so that would have been September 8, 1964.  Probably on Sunday, the 6th, my father told me I would likely meet the son of the owner of the Kiru, and then proceeded to tell me all sorts of information about Bruce.

A day or two after that first class there was Bruce outside the room.  Normally I was shy, however, when he began talking to me I had fun teasing him with my knowledge before finally telling him how I knew.

Yes, it’s long lost DR Jeanne here to wish happy birthday to both BK and Jane (a day late, sorry).

I’ve been sucked into some weird home-buying vortex, which doesn’t want to let me exit. We closed escrow on Halloween (a good omen or bad?) after by far the worst escrow I’ve ever been through. The mortgage people wanted all the documents yesterday and were rude and sexist. I was ready to tell them to shove it. Fortunately, the worst offender went on vacation and the fill-in was pleasant and easy to work with. But they still almost didn’t have the final docs ready. It as horrible.

The place is mine now. But I expected the painter/handyman to start two weeks ago. Oh, yes, he took vacation for a week, which he’d never mentioned. We are at a standstill. I still have a humongous amount of tossing and packing to do, plus catching up on all I postponed while signing 1001 documents. I don’t know when I’ll be moving, which I get asked almost daily.

Re: Zelle.
I had a horrible experience with it. Others use it with no problem. In my case, the culprit was USBank. Their fraud detectors (software) flags it when they see a Zelle transaction because many Zelle transactions are fraudulent. So you flag them all? Yes. The software is dumb. They shut down my main checking account for 48 hours. But why? They made no effort to determine if the transaction really was fraud. The following Monday I was on the phone with them to straighten it out. The finally released the hold, but then the same thing happened two days later. They shut down my account. I had a chat with someone in their fraud department, who apologized and said this shouldn’t have happened. No, but unless you fix the software it will continue to happen.

You cannot use Zelle with USBank or any other bank who assumes that all Zelle transactions are fraudulent. I’ve moved most of my business away from them.

Larry, I’m sorry you, too, had trouble.

There is an author I like, David Rosenfelt, that publishes a Christmas themed book every October.  I usually save it to read as my birthday treat read.  This year I timed the book to finish reading it on the 6th so I could make Richard and Me my birthday treat read.

Even though I never actually had time to curl up on the couch for a good birthday read, I never slept the night before and was extra glad I had my birthday treat to keep me company.

I am now half way through this wonderful book.

I was a little more mixed about the closeups on Jonathan Groff, who comes off as more shallow than you’d like. But shallow is pursuing money over art. So perhaps it’s an apt performance. Still, when he starts Our Time, the waterworks really opened.

My family had a coda we added to the end of the birthday song. Nobody knows where it came from but the internet tells me other people did it as well. This was also not just my immediate family’s thing but the whole extended family on my father’s side.

First, there was the 2nd birthday verse.
Many more birthdays to you… etc.

Nobody uses that now.

The fact that my shoulder didn’t bother me today should not be construed as me having the full use of it.

So I’ll see if some therapy can help. Gotta drive down to Regular George & Jane Washington for that.

Happy Birthday to Mr. Bruce Kimmel.

Here is a slide show I created about 7 years ago, so it is a bit out of date....but the sentiment is there.

TOD: My first notice of BK was seeing the credit on all these wonderful Bay Cities CDs I was buying when they came out, especially those of music by Howard Hanson and Roy Harris.

I remember seeing BK's name in the first of the Varesé CDs, then I later came across Bay Cities CDs with his name...then the label that shan't be named.

Since the lab in the large clinic where my rheumatologist is located does not take appointments I was there at 7:30 this morning when they opened.  I was second in line and home by 8:00.

My CBC results are already on MyChart  :o

She found a renter.  A man and his wife.  They brought a few things in last night and the new fridge was delivered today.

When I went to Home Depot to get a new toilet seat, some smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, and some keys made, it was raining quite hard.  Just before leaving the store, I stuck my glasses in my jacket pocket so that they wouldn't get wet, and by the time I got to my car, the glasses has fallen out! :o

I went back to the store exit, trying to look for my glasses and couldn't find them!  I went in and asked if someone could help look, and she couldn't find them, either! :(

I gave her my info and carefully drove home kinda blindly.  Hopefully, someone will have found them and turned them in.
