They were not, however, singing "What Do the Simple Folk Do?"

No sir. These folks had far heavier things on their mind.

It's great. I liked it so much more the first time than I'd imagined I would.

Pretty wonderful, strange and delightful. The same with the film.

Four!

There’s a vocal score listed for $100 on eBay — but not anywhere else so maybe it’s not really “available”, if you catch my drift. Not that I’m rushing out to buy one. But someday.

BK, the book looks fantastic.

I’ll get started on it soon. It’ll be easier once the weekend is past.

The ending of the movie is very different from the opera. I’d forgotten it. It’s also more timely than perhaps I wanted.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #95 on:** June 06, 2020, 04:09:27 PM »

I’ve taken the movie out but I don’t think I can hack it tonight. And I don’t remember the ending, either.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #96 on:** June 06, 2020, 04:12:36 PM »

Ah, this one’s actually available on Blu-ray and DVD.

I mean the opera. And it’s the Met production.

Glad the books are arriving!

Was listening to some Cole Porter and friends. Now watching.

Lovely-sad performance of Three Acts, a song I really like.

Those large new pillows have one disadvantage: after several hours on them, my leg muscles cramp terribly.

Oh, no!

So, who actually has watched the Facebook/YouTube Live tests?

I was able to catch tonight's just as it started.

I agree.

DAMN!

I put the Exterminating movie in, planning to watch, say, the first half hour, and I didn't make it ten minutes. Sound asleep, while the thing played straight through. Why was I so in need of sleep?

Anyway, that blew the Kritzerland Teaser #3, which I am watching Right Now, damn it to HELL.

"Three Acts" -- very nice.

And you know what else? Apropos of nothing? I love that Sundays and Cybele poster -- not only for itself, but as the backdrop to these videos. It's the perfect thing, color and texture-wise.

John G. · « **Reply #108 on:** June 06, 2020, 08:04:02 PM »

Kings of Broadway concert as a fund-raiser. It’s British. The music of Styne, Sondheim and Herman.
Liz Callaway was the first name listed.
The Zoom orchestra of the Gypsy overture is quite good.

Concert is finished. I didn't watch every song, but the finale, despite some sound issues, is a real wonder -- a socially distanced version of Sunday sung by what appear to be workers at a department store or airport or some business. Liz Callaway appears in the song before the end, a lovely version of With So Little to Be Sure Of with Damien Humbley. Ramin Kariloo (sp?) has a nice version of Being Alive in it. Also really enjoyed Too Many Mornings, though I don't know who sang it.

We were supposed to have a really nasty day of weather today, but it didn’t happen;at least, not in Puyallup.

TCB · « **Reply #112 on:** June 06, 2020, 10:54:08 PM »

It was really rather nice today.

TCB · « **Reply #113 on:** June 06, 2020, 10:55:04 PM »

Although, temperature-wise it didn’t feel much like June.

I got my test results back from the doctor.

Tests were negative. No cancer.

I hope we get the same results back for elmore!

9th night of protests in Seattle.

Of course, Tacoma is busy putting together a new Mr. Floyd for the protesters.
