We have been watching WHAT'S MY LINE and will watch an episode from 1955 tonight.

I think I'm going to turn in early.

I have too much work to do, but I can't focus.

John G. · « **Reply #93 on:** July 19, 2019, 07:08:37 PM »

Good night, all.

Good night, John. I must be off, too. My sister wants me to come over and help move the fence for the chickens. They have a fenced area outside of the coop where they can go, but it gets all poopy, so it needs to be moved every once in a while.

Be back later.

In Kritzerland, Benjamin goes on his first out of town trip, to St. Louis, in the summer of 1960, July to be exact. When he gets back he goes to see Psycho at the El Rey Theater. We now know that was on August 9th, the Wednesday it opened. In St. Louis, he, as I did, sees the musical Rosalie at The Muny, something I've never forgotten, even the title tune which I can sing now without having heard it since. So, I just Googled it and there it was - but what was surprising was who I saw in it - who knew?

July 25–31. Rosalie. Dorothy Collins, Bobby Van, Arthur Treacher.

I have no recall of what this was for, but I imagineered Disney recycling "Lion King" for when they do "Dumbo."

Re-using the tune of “Circle of Life”

(chant)
Fly in Dumbo - with his ears he can fly
Flying Dumbo - see his ears make him fly

Come on fly him, when ya gonna fly him?
Come on fly him, when ya gonna fly him?
Come on fly him, when ya gonna fly him?
Come on fly him, when ya gonna fly him?

From the time we arrive at the venue
We’re glad not to sit through a plot
The kids don’t need scenes that should never be seen
No story and we say “So what?”

There’s may be a lot to take in here
But we’re here and we all know why
For now boredom is gone
The kids cheer Dumbo on
Yes, we’re watching an elephant fly

It’s the Circus of Life - yes, we’re all in thrall
The kids feel we're great - we bought their love
Dumbo finally flew
We all point in wonder
It’s the Circus, the Circus of Life

(maybe there was an article about a stage version of DUMBO?)

Or so I've been told.

Didn't eat a whole meal today, so I'm eating a few snacks before bed.

Sadly, nobody made me four steaks.

Still listening to music. Got a batch of CDs in the mail today. I did watch a couple of videos on the Tube of You

I need to try and get to sleep.

Perhaps the heat has affected everyone’s typing skills.

TCB · « **Reply #109 on:** July 19, 2019, 11:37:55 PM »

Or perhaps people prefer to use their AC, instead of their computers.

Hi, Tom.

CATS, the movie appears to be everything the stage musical was.... and less.

We are expecting the temperature to reach the mid to upper seventies tomorrow!

I can’t imagine being one of those people stuck in the subway today.

Today at work, I received the Blu-ray to the 1999 London cast revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma!, with pre-Wolverine Hugh Jackman, who (if I remember correctly) wasn't a big enough star at the time to transfer with the production to Broadway.

Also received at work was a 3D Wooden Perpetual Calendar Puzzle!
