Agreed!  And that's a great set, too!

I slept rather well.  I do need to send my doctor a request for more Tramadol.

I have nothing on my calendar today, so I'm hoping I can finish up my orchestration.  I'm about halfway through it.

Jerry Herman has died.  I only met him once, when the New York City Gay Men's Chorus did a Jerry Herman concert.  He was very kind and charming.

T.O.D.

I've seen ONCE UPON A TIME IN...HOLLYWOOD and JUDY.

Is there any other 2019 film out on DVD yet that's worth seeing?

Sad news.

I have a vague memory of having met him once, also. 

Trying to remember where & when.

Probably at a party...

My step-son (from marriage #1) comes into town this evening.

Will have lunch with him tomorrow.

I haven't seen him in 10 (?) years.

He's talking about moving to Austin.

The actor who did the audio recording of my Spencer Tracy play is visiting in San Antonio for several days, which is a one-hour drive from my home. 

Maybe we'll get together. 

We've never met face-to-face.

I just did something stupid.  Several weeks ago in cleaning the litter, I pulled something in my back, and Gurjeet worked it out.  Since then, I adopted a new cleaning method so that it would not happen again. 

Until today.

I had a flimsy bag to dump the dirty litter, so I went back to my old sitting-on-the-toilet-lid to finish, pulled my back again, and I cannot stand upright.  The pain is very high, and I may have to make an ER trip.  I'll lie down on a heating pad and see if that helps.

Annabelle knew something was wrong as soon as it happened.  It may have been my look of pain and fear - I'll never know - but she suddenly was all over me, wanting to be held and purring up a storm.

Sad news about Jerry Herman. He once answered an email from me. And I treasure my autographed copy of The Grand Tour CD, which may be my favorite of his scores. Certainly, Marianne is one of my favorites of his songs.

Here’s a listen to Marianne in Barbara Cook’s Georgia accent and creamy voice.

Tonight we’re getting video-recorded (thank you, DR John G.), and I actually (thank you, BK) have to go up to the theater twice today. They bought a new Kurzweil stage piano to replace the old broken down Kurzweil that served them well as the house keyboard for over thirteen years. It just got delivered, and barring any complications, I shall christen it by playing it in our final two performances this weekend. Nothing fancy required, no synth work or anything in this show, just piano playing.

I’ll go up around noon and unbox it (ooh, I should make an unboxing video!), set it in place of the one I’m using now, guesstimate a volume level and make sure its basic functions are solid, and go back home till showtime.
