Well, you've read the notes, the notes were so last night, and now it is time for you to post until the night cows come home.

And the word of the day is: CAMARADERIE!

Well, this is real interesting...Listen to haunting notes from an 18,000-year-old conch shell trumpet.

Archaeologists in 1931 assumed the shell was only a broken drinking cup.

I was so devastated to read that Mary Wilson passed away this week. She was actually my favorite Supreme. Of course, I love Miss Ross, but she got to be a bit much. Mary was just heaven on earth. R.I.P. Mary. I hope you and Florence are singing together forever.

I'd read that earlier.

She died about a month before her 77th birthday.

Is it still snowing in Tums?

Angela Lansbury is my favorite GYPSY recording. And I love Roz in the movie.

I wish Angela had done A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC.

Well, she did play Madame Armfeldt in the most recent revival...but I'm sure that that's not what you meant.

Ah, no. I wish she had played Desiree instead of Ms. John’s.

I was able to lighten the images so that they could be seen.

And now, I'm off to bed. I get to sleep in for the next three days! That'll be nice!

Have a good day, all!

I awoke this morning to find that I am in Facebook jail for 30 days.

For an unflattering cartoon of 45 and his first lady that I posted to a friend's wall in July 2019.

To a page that no longer even exists.

My copy of Jerome Kern Revisted, Volume 3 arrived yesterday.

Today is laundry day, so I want to begin that in the next thirty minutes.

DR TCB, I saw the original Broadway cast in A Little Night Music, and I thought Ms Johns was absolutely glorious. Much as I love Lansbury who was perfection in Sweeney Todd, I can't see, or vocally hear, her as Desiree. Six months after I saw A Little Night Music, I saw it again, and Johns was out. I saw the beautiful Barbara Lang, her standby, who gave a competent performance and no more.

My favorite Gypsy recording? Merman, hands down. That is one great cast recording. My first recording was the soundtrack, since I'd seen and loved the film. The Lanscury recording is very good and I wish I'd seen it, but I always return to Ethel.

I've seen in performances of Gypsy Bette Midler, Patti LuPone, and Tyne Daly, who was the best, but I find her recording, like her Call Me Madam, hard to listen to without the visuals because you can hear the pitch problems too clearly. In 1998, Daly played the Elsa Maxwell role in my reconstruction of Jubilee, and she was the best - and most pleasant - of the three leading ladies.
