Monday afternoon greetings!  It’s a very spring-like day here in SW Ohio.  Richard and I went out earlier and ordered new mattresses for the trundle bed frames we inherited from my mom.  They’ll be in the bare-bones guest room we’re creating upstairs, just in time for Rob and Mary Linda’s visit in a couple of weeks.

Is this the space that used to be their living quarters?

Yes, and it’s our objective to NOT fill it up.  We figured 2 empty rooms is a great start to the downsizing we’ll eventually have to do.  But we also need someplace for overnight guests, so we going minimalist.

May I respectfully say that it's not good form to do this on a day I make a book available for pre-order?  Or do you not read the notes?  Just wait a day, then you might actually sell one.  Thank you in advance.

I'm up, I'm up - ten hours of sleep - very needed after the time change.  Got up at one-thirty and have been catching up ever since.

elmore, quite certain you saw Mr. Duvall in a little movie called To Kill a Mockingbird - Boo Radley.

[Jane]

Good news DR JANE!

Thanks.

[Jane]

The phonograph and books are mine.....the 50 Foot Woman poster is as well.....the director wanted me to bring things from home so I would feel like it was my place.....

Did it work? 

[Jane]

It was faboo DR JOHN G and I would do it again in a second.

[Jane]

Well, I must walk through the woods and go over to the neighbor's house for "early welcoming of spring" cocktails. Or some such. It'll be good. He always grills something good on the barbie and puts out plenty of horse's ovaries...AND usually has a nice Bourbon. What's not to like?

As expected, enjoy your early spring party.

Soon you might need a crib, not that we plan to get one.

And he was very good in that movie.

All kinds of orchestra parts......and many, many Vocal/Chorus books.....from Tams-Witmark.

I gave Sandi two scores (the other one for our keyboard player) and one of two Prompt scripts.....and worried all of the way home about our performers working with "sides."

When I got home I looked in the bottom of the big box and there were 18 MORE prompt scripts and NO "sides."  So we are saved, unless I cast more than 18 people.....

The End.

I thought the days of them sending out just "sides" for the actors were behind us. But someone was indeed worrying about that when we were expecting the CABARET materials last fall. Fortunately, it's all complete scripts.

The only times that I ever experienced sides was when I was in Brigadoon in college in 1989, and Camelot here in Olympia in 1991.  Fortunately, never since.

You are quite right, BK!  Several times, in fact.

I've seen that, too.  Add that to my list.

This little French bulldog was turned into the ACC today as a stray.  I want to adopt him!

[elmore3003]

Speaking of To Kill A Mockingbird, a film I've seen several times in the past 50 years and loved nearly as much as the book, I doubt I could name any actor in that cast besides Gregory Peck.

[Jane]

DR elmore does Brock Peters come to mind now that I have mentioned his name?

[Jane]

Altman:
Gosford Park
Prairie Home Companion
The Company
Popeye
MASH
A Bridge Too Far


I didn't realize he did A Cold Day in the Park.

[Jane]

Caan:
Cinderella Liberty
Brian's Song
The Godfather
Funny Lady
Honeymoon in Vegas

[Jane]

Duvall:
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Man Who Captured Eichmann
The Great Santini

I think I need to watch Tender Mercies as I don't remember it.

[Jrand74]

I am loving reading all of these lists.

[Jrand74]

Contrary to photographic evidence, I do have a chin and a neck.....

Duvall has not a single line of dialogue in To Kill a Mockingbird.  He's on the screen less than three minutes, but he does more in those three minutes with less than most actors do in a lifetime.  He's brilliant in it.  I can name lots of folks in that film: Mary Badham and Phillip Alford as Scout and Jem (and yes, I'm doing this off the top of my head), John Megna as Dill, Brock Peters as Tom Robinson, Colin Wilcox as Mayella (funny how I'm remembering the character names, too, but that's because there's many pages devoted to  the musical of Mockingbird that I wrote), Frank Overton as Heck Tate, Alice Ghostly and Rosemary Murphy, Ruth White, the great Paul Fix, William Windom - it was a GREAT cast, perfect, really.  And the wonderful opening narration is read by Kim Stanley.  One of my all-time favorite films.

Respectfully, I didn't even give that a thought.

I had already posted the announcement elsewhere (e.g. Facebook), which is why I also posted it here.

Frankly, I don't see how the 2 books compete with each other.

I hope you sell a million copies of your book, and I also hope I sell a million copies of mine.
