Happy first Sunday of 2026! With this new year now upon us, on the Broadway Radio Show, I'm taking a look back at the Best of 2025 and my choices for the Top Ten Vocalist Recordings of the year. The list is a dazzling collection of performers from theatre, jazz, and cabaret and will hopefully expose you to some new, exciting artists... give it a listen!

Good morning, all!

Last night I could not get to sleep, so this morning I slept late, to the dismay of three cats.

DR Freddie, in 2019 or so, I had an echocardiogram to check my veins. The cardiologist recommended I replace Glipizide with Jardiance. After two weeks of a multitude of issues, my body found Jardiance as crass and repellant as its commercials, and I went back to Glipizide.

Thanks for mentioning this. Larry, do you recall the side effects you had while taking Jardiance?

Good morning, all.

Thus far this morning I have had one (count 'em) cup of coffee, and have just spent an hour "leaf-blowing" 500 feet of driveway. We got our light and dry and fluffy one inch of - (you know) - and we love those because the stuff just blows away and leaves beautiful dry asphalt. Right now I have the clearest driveway in four counties. Maybe.

Good morning, all.

Lousy night of no sleep.

No, I'm aorry. All I remember is thinking one day, this started up when I began the Jardiance. As soon as I dropped it, whatever was going on stopped. I honestly haven't thought about it since.
-
Now here's a Big Ass salad that has me wanting a plate of it and thinking about our DR Laura!

That's OK. Thanks for mentioning that there were issues, though.

It is 34 degrees here with a feels like of 44 degrees.
The sun is shining and the skies are blue!

Last night I had TCM on so those sci-fi flicks could play in the background. When Attack of the 50 Foot Woman came on I was ready to get into bed so I stopped everything else and watched, but fell asleep and missed the last 20 minutes.
-
But the time I was settled, it was looking like it had gotten a lengthy intro by Ben Mankiewicz, but I missed it!
I believe he spoke at length for all three films.
-
I'm up, I'm up - just under eight hours of sleep.
-
Doing stuff for the last hour, and I need to be on my way in about fifteen minutes.
-
Time for a nap.

DR John G, have you changed your email address?

Good afternoon.

That Big Ass Salad looks good.

Sunday afternoon greetings! It’s beautifully sunny here in SW Ohio, but still cold.

Friday evening we ventured to the Oxford, OH, branch of Lane Public Library to celebrate National Science Fiction Day. The featured speaker was author John Scalzi, who was quite interesting and entertaining. Richard has read several of his books. I have not, but I do love to listen to authors talk.

DR Ginny, does Richard still have a copy of the program for The Business of Good Government at the Blue Ball Presbyterian Church? If so, can you scan it?

Even if I don't enjoy the book I enjoy listenting to most authors. I've not read anything by Scalzi. Does Richard have a favorite to recommend?

We walked a bit earlier than usual today as rain is expected later.

Keith got Wordle in three.
-
Time for a nap.
DR John G, have you changed your email address?
No. I did receive your Dropbox messages but I haven’t had a free moment to respond until now. Thank you.
-
I have 10 whole free minutes before tonight’s dance class.
-
I just want to say that this is a Sunday that feels like a Saturday, and the later it gets, the more it feels that way.
A first for that.
-
I've caught up and now my Sunday feels like a Sunday.

LOL, DR Elmore, Richard only vaguely remembers the production, so, no, he doesn’t have a program. He says, “That was more than 50 years ago. I barely remember 50 days ago!”

DR Jane, he’s quite fond of the Old Man’s War series, which starts with a book by that title.
A retired librarian whose opinion I respect says her favorite is The Kaiju Preservation Society.

Very cool, Ginny! I've read a couple of his books (I think)...well, at least one that I know of, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you. I put a hold On Old Man's War and added Kaiju to my library wish list.
Most of his books at the library have a waiting list. He seems to be very popular.

I waited to see if you said anything before asking if you have read any of his books.

I like a good cucumber salad.

Good evening!

I took Metro into DC this afternoon and had a nice lunch with former DR Ben and his DH Anthony. They were in town for a wedding. We went to a restaurant near their hotel in Dupont Circle and had a nice time.

Back from rehearsal. We did a run-through for lighting guy - he really liked the show and what we've done with it and he taped it so he's all set to hang lights now. Then I was intending to do more detail work but sound arrived, so instead we got everyone in mics and set levels for dialogue and then levels for singing with the tracks. Tracks sound great on the big sound system. I now have to have Richard create some scene change cues, about five of 'em. Then we have to add either four or eight bars of something for one number, to facilitate a costume change.
-
So, that ate up the rest of our time. I did set all the bits involving a skeleton that's on during the first scene in the doctor's office. From the very first staged reading I directed I knew what I wanted to do with the skeleton. It's now rigged to turn its head in either direction and front, and it also laughs - mouth part opens and closes, clacking while it does. We time and operate that from off-stage at specific moments and it's hilarious. Just imagine the skeleton as Jack Benny.
-
I came right home and the second i walked in the door, it began raining really hard, so, nice to avoid that.
-
I tried a new Eyetalian jernt - new to me anyway - called MA's Italian Kitchen - trying their penne in pink sauce with Eyetalian sausage. They also use peas, and I always like that. Won't be here for forty minutes, but I'm gonna futz and finesse and write new pages until it arrives.
-
Page THREE?
-
Really?
-
What a revoltin' development this is.
-
Gee whiz.
-
Well, that's show biz.
-
Really 'tis.
-
Need some fizz.
-
Hers or his.
-
Dick or Liz.
-
Or maybe some Les Miz.
-
Let's take a quiz.
-
Good old Shiz.
-
Why does my hair have frizz?
-
That's about it for that.
-
Bruce, glad your rehearsal went well.

I’m back to 49th Parallel, which is very different from what I was expecting.
-
Dancing was fun tonight.
-
I am finally getting some room in the fridge.
-
Time to clean out the freezer.
-
Gratuitous post 100!
-
Where is everybody?

Uno mas.

Milestone!

Congratulations, DR John G., on your lofty new perch in the HHW firmament!!!
-
Thank you, sir.
-
Milestone!
Congratulations, John G, on your fabulous new millstone/milestone!
-
Loved that movie. I’m a sucker for anti-Nazi propaganda.
-
I’m now starting The Flame of New Orleans, starring Marlene Dietrich. Directed by Rene Clair. Both fled Nazi control of their countries. And this frothy bubble is from 1941, the same year as 49th Parallel.
-
Good night, friends.
-
And others.
-
Time to get started on that next thousand.
-
This time, boys, I’m taking the bows, and …
-
Everything’s coming up grand.
-
This time for JRand.
-
Or George Sand.
-
Available on demand.
-
So, strike up the band.
-
Or we’ll have to rebrand.
-
But nothing bland.
-
Five!

Thanks for the Wordle congrats yesterday, DRs Jane and George!

Ditto!! Congrats, John!!

Pasta was excellent - I had some garlic bread with it.
-
Today, Shelly and I were going to go to Plaza Jalisco to use the $30 gift certificate that I got for Christmas.
-
I futzed and finessed, and have done six new page. Quite behind where I'd usually be, but again, new territory and I don't want or need to rush really. I still think Muse Margaret will get the first batch of pages by Thursday.
-
I must now write some damn notes.
-
One must, you know.
-
But even though their website said that they were open today until 8:00, they were closed. :P
-
So, we went to another local Mexican restaurant called La Patrona.
-
The first time that we went there (shortly after it opened), it was not a good experience...not horrible, but definitely needed improvement.
-
I think I went one other time after that, and it wasn't bad.
-
Tonight, everything was really good...the food, the waitress, everything.
-
We both brought home food, and I expect to enjoy my food, even reheated. :)
-
Now, we want to go back.
-
After I got home, I printed covers for a couple of Blu-rays that I burned.
-
One is for the Broadway production of Bandstand that was filmed and is available on YouTube:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a05ChPYx9d4 (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a05ChPYx9d4)
But I want some kind of physical media...just in case it's deleted. ;)
-
The other cover is for both versions of Frankenstein that were "acquired" online. ::)
-
The only drawback is that one of the videos is 1240x720, and the other is 720x480, so they're not both hi-def. :-\
-
Page FIVE???
-
Not very sporting.
-
Anything but sporting.
-
The one thing it isn't is sporting.
-
It's unseemly.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
