For the heck of it, given that i'm back (I'll now be in NYC for a long time) from so much sudden traveling.

I didn't read the rest of yesterday's posts when I got home last night.  I'm so sorry to hear about Jed's father dying, and on his birthday.

I mostly agree with it.  Although I do enjoy Polly's peach preserves a great deal (or the Smucker's equivalent)

[FJL]

I loved in THE ACT when she became Michelle Craig accepting the applause rather than Liza.  I think it was the terrific staging of her scenes with Barry Nelson that made that work.

[FJL]

And of course, their acting, not just the staging!!!

So, was that the work of Scorsese, Gower Champion or Fred Ebb?

I'm up, I'm up - was up at ten-thirty after six and a half hours of not enough sleep.  I then had to do a lot of morning stuff, but thankfully David Siegel, the wonderful orchestrator of The Sherman Brothers Album had all his charts saved on the computer, so we now have what we need from there, since we couldn't find my box of charts, and having the files enables us to change keys easily.  So, that's good.  I sent off my tentative show order and it seems pretty good and the show itself should come in at about one-hour and fifty minutes so with intermission about 2:05, which is perfect.

Thinking about trying an interesting sounding new fish jernt not too far from here - fried catfish, you know, right up my alley.

[ChasSmith]

BK - I saw your post on the Los Angeles Theaters page, and began following it. Any other such pages or groups along those lines that are particularly good? I’m sure I could find a few to my liking, but I always appreciate recommendations.

[Ginny]

Thank you, DRs George and John G, for the travel vibes. 

We are HOME!

[bk]

ChasSmith, that's the best of them.  There are others, but they're filled with idiots - there's something called you knew you grew up in Hollywood if... and several others with that name but different locations.  It's all people asking idiot questions like "anyone remember Hollywood Blvd?"  I mean, you want to beat these people with a stick.  And right now there are a few others I'd like to beat with a stick for the Sherman Event - I've been dealing with that drama all morning - I'm bored of people whining and being "overwhelmed" like this is only about them.  I don't sit here and whine because I'm having to book the rehearsals, which is not my damn job, or do all the crap that I'm doing every day in every way - that is what I have to do and I do it. 

[bk]

I went to this fish place called My Fish Place and had two fried catfish filets, lobster mac-and-cheese, and cole slaw.  The catfish was fantastic as was the mac-and-cheese.  Cole slaw was not my fave but everything else was fresh as can be and stellar and it was only ten minutes from here.

[bk]

Then I picked up packages and mail and came home, where I've been dealing with drama and am frankly done dealing with it for today.  Now listening to music.

[Jane]

Thank you, DRs George and John G, for the travel vibes. 

We are HOME!

Relax and recover now

[ChasSmith]

Thanks to both BK and DR Elmore for help with FB groups.

You’re right, bunch of idiots in that Hollywood one. Blind leading the blind. I just corrected something twice in one thread. But the stuff that does emerge is of value.

Joining a Redondo Beach one, too. What the heck. We’ll see how it goes.

[bk]

There's a Valley one, too.  And photos of los angeles is good.

I’m going to a book discussion and lunch with Rebecca tomorrow and then my calendar is clear for the rest of the week.

[Jane]

What will you be discussing?

[bk]

Just checked out the calories in two fried catfish filets - 200 each, so very friendly those catfish are.

[Ginny]

What will you be discussing?

Educated by Tara Westover, the female Mormon survivalist version of Hillbilly Elegy.

I finished reading it last week.  I thought it was more the Mormon Survivalist version of THE SOUND OF GRAVEL though her life was not nearly as difficult as the woman in Sound of Gravel.  I preferred both memoirs to Hillbilly Elegy.

[Jane]

I have been on messenger chatting with a friend and Keith just joined in the conversation and livened it up-hysterical. 

[FJL]

I just experienced that thing of being taken back to 2012 posts!  It was such a rotten year, I couldn't wait to get back to this less-rotten year, so i hightailed it outta there,

The audio version just appeared on my OverDrive today. I need to finish The Haunting of Hill House first, then Edith Wharton's In Morocco first.

I'd never heard that Ebb might have done some fo the staging!  As they used to say on the odd Couple tv series:  It's better than fact, it's rumor!  (or something like that)

[John G.]

Watching Derek Jarman's film of Marlowe's Edward II. Excellent vision of the play with plenty of extra nudity thrown in for good measure (a Jarman specialty). We are also treated to Annie Lennox appearing to sing a haunting version of Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye.

[John G.]

I may get to see a second feature tonight.

[FJL]

Strange that that story of the bad treatment of the actor will likely taint CHICAGO in Broadway history, erase all the good feeling about its long run.   

[John G.]

Or catch up on Charlotte Bronte's Villette. This is the second time I've tried reading it. I liked the beginning but I'm not thrilled after 150 pages.
