Quite correct.

Women must not desire the jehu.

MB, was this morning's Oregonian article about the Iraqi translator moving here one of "yours"?

Happy Birthday, MS.

Happy Great-Auntdom and -Uncledom, Jane and Keith.

Wow, it's 8:08 already here and virtually nothing has been ripped out of my house by a passing delivery truck.

bk, this notice was posted over at the listserv.  Interested in being on a DVD?

>>>We are looking for people that could talk to us on-camera about the 20th Century Fox Marquee Musicals of the 1930s through 1960s.  We are producing a short documentary that will cover the musicals produced by Fox during this time period, how they were important to the studio, and how they were culturally significant.  We will also touch upon the 1952 film "Stars and Stripes Forever" and how it fit into the Fox musical canon.  The documentary will be a special feature on the DVD release for "Stars and Stripes Forever." <<<

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And someone just came by to pick up - and buy - the remaining piece of cookware I had for sale!  :)   -Now if someone would just buy my DVDs.

DR DerBrucer - As for "medieval dress codes", I believe the real issue is the medieval mindset of the neighbors.  And of people who comment about such things.

No.  It's just that he's only doing "live" performances now.

Nah, just clearing out some shelf space, and finally "letting go" of a bunch of things I bought just because I thought I wanted them.  Well, a bunch of those things have been sitting on the shelf and/or in boxes still wrapped in their shrink-wrap for a year or two - or three.  So...

As for the Topic of the Day...

The only thing that comes to mind right now is the OCR of Nerfertiti.  Not really a "worthy" contender for a CD transfer, but I think my LP is slightly warped.

OH! - And Andras Schiff's recording of Ginastera's First Piano Sonata - which was coupled with Bach's "Goldberg Variations" on double-LP release.  A truly interesting coupling.  -At least I think I remember checking that set out of the library when I was in high school.

DR elmore - They sell storage boxes at the K-Mart at Penn Station.  As well as at Bed, Bath & Beyond, and Gracious Home, and the Container Store. No UPS needed.

Maybe we could stop by one of those stores after seeing the movie this afternoon.  ;)

DR Ben - Ah, Gotham!  My dear, dearly departed friend, Mark, was a major fan of theirs.  And, I even think he used to work with them in some sort of capacity whenever they would gig in DC.  He also had his own vocal group in DC, and they would use some of Gotham's arrangements.  :)

DR singdaw - Ah, the Starland Vocal Band!  They were basically the house band at Eskimo Nell's in Arlington, VA.  (Alas, Eskimo Nell's had a fire a couple of years ago, and, was eventually torn down to make room for all the development in that part of Arlington (Ballston).)  Eskimo Nell's was a bar, but since they did feature music acts, they did allow all ages in during the week and during dinner hours.

Remember their TV special?

DR Ben - How did Daniel Evans sound last night?  I heard that he was slightly under the weather on Tuesday...  ???

But, yes, his transformation in the second act is quite wonderful.  And I'm glad they retained the accents too.  :)

Hmmmm....I will need to cross the street today and pick up the Oregonian...we only have the Statesman Journal Newspaper at our office. But very likely it is the family that Jason helped. The foundation is running out of money, so I am hoping there will be some news publicity soon!

I know someone that used to use Ginastera's "Concerto for Coloratura Soprano" on their answering machine...the climactic note was provided by the machine's "beep," and it was exactly the right note!  :)

I do, indeed!  I believe it was actually a weekly series of four shows, IIRC.  Ran over the summer, in July or August of...some year from my remote youth.

I've laid out $130+ to Target and even if I wanted to go purchase them elsewhere, I'd need that credit from Target first!

Are you coming to the movies with me at 5:25?

Goodbye for today.  I have to go to NYPL for some "Lady of the Slipper" info, stop at Verizon or my cell phone service is over, get home and continue the Steri-Fab mopping before the movie.

Oy!
