Four years ago today DR JohnG came to Manhattan to see The New Yorkers at Encores! We had lunch at the Brooklyn Diner.

Excellent photo, gents.
Now, how did four years fly by so fast???

It's safe to eat in restaurants. I saw this on the Internet, so I know it's true.

One of my favorite movie moments EVER happens between George Segal and Glenda Jackson.

They have a terrific fight - I think she says something he thinks is about his mother....  They jump out of bed and start packing and she keeps telling him to make a reservation for the plane trip off the island....and he keeps telling her "not necessary."

They get to the airport (their rented car only drives in second gear) and the clerk announces that the plane is sold out.

George:  But that plane is NEVER sold out.
Clerk: There was a group of nuns visiting the island and they're all going back on this flight.
Glenda: When did they get their tickets?
Clerk: Just now.
Glenda:  Press THAT in your book of memories.

Some dear friends lost their daughter in a car crash yesterday.

Things that seemed vitally important to me at this time yesterday somehow don't seen nearly as important now.

That's so sad. I can't imagine anything worse than losing a child.

Everything here is bathed in an eerie light, and it has been raining hard.

I guess I should feel fortunate it is not snow.

George Walker was the first African American composer to win the Pulitzer Prize for music.

This slow movement from his first String Quartet is stunningly beautiful:

You can click on those to enlarge them, but I've also sent them in their original file sizes to DR Elmore.

BK:  I agree with DR George about posting the show scores separately. It seems unlikely that someone who doesn't have any of those would suddenly want all of them. But you never know.

Having said that, though, you've now mentioned one you didn't list the other night, which I don't have, and would want if it's in nice shape. Want to know what it is?     :)
