78%!!! Good day, as it turns out. Two more percent and we cross 80% and we're now close to getting over the 6K hump.

Ugh! What a day! Mixed for Shrek most of the afternoon. Which includes adjusting late entrances and some flat high notes. When I finished what I had planned to do, I text the artistic director (who is also the director of the show) that I put what I did up on the Google Drive for him for rehearsal, but I'm not doing anymore until I see or hear that a contract is coming. I've asked 2 times. This time, I'm stopping until someone fixes this issue.

Contract vibes, Matthew.

Finally finished Thieves' Highway. Going to start The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner.

The remake will be The Loneliness of the Socially Distanced Runner.

(No groans at HHW.)

Gratuitous post No. 101!

John G. · « **Reply #102 on:** March 20, 2021, 08:33:03 PM »

John Addison's score for The Loneliness ... Runner is a wonderful mix of jazz, hymns, elegies, pop and fun.

What is this page four malarkey?

Went and got a chocolate chip muffin for a treat.

bk · « **Reply #105 on:** March 20, 2021, 08:44:13 PM »

Ate it - it was sweet, this treat, which was neat.

I've been listening to show music for most of the day. And watched the first third of the Brit movie Robbery, which I know I saw last year at some point but I remember nothing about it.

bk · « **Reply #107 on:** March 20, 2021, 08:47:56 PM »

Well, no wonder - I just read what I wrote about Robbery - I watched the first third two years ago, apparently kept dozing off and finally shut it off and I obviously never came back to it.

Listening to Mr. President. I've been hoping for sixty years that at some point I could warm to the score, but it's just so mediocre - I'm not sure it's Irving's fault - it's just a terrible idea for a musical and Irving's doing it by rote - some nice melodies, but so much of it just doesn't land - the opening of the show is terrible - in fact, the only number that truly lands is the only one I liked when I was thirteen - The Secret Service. Lang's orchestrations are working overtime to make something of it, but for naught, I'm afraid.

The Secret Service makes me nervice.

'Nuff said.

But I love the women on that recording.

l was pleasantly surprised by the ending of Loneliness. It was a big British angry young man flashing the middle finger at Man. Made me think of The Longest Yard, only better.

Has anyone read Manogamy by Sue Miller?

Jane · « **Reply #115 on:** March 20, 2021, 10:18:26 PM »

I am reading it for my March book discussion group.

Jane · « **Reply #116 on:** March 20, 2021, 10:18:59 PM »

I had no interest in reading it when it was chosen.

Jane · « **Reply #117 on:** March 20, 2021, 10:19:30 PM »

My opinion hasn't changed.

Jane · « **Reply #118 on:** March 20, 2021, 10:19:50 PM »

Back to reading.
