Great photos in the notes. BK is very very lucky to not only have saved so much over the course of his life, but to know people who can suddenly pop up on the likes of Facebook and provide even more memories.

I'm lucky that so much of my stuff survived, because much of it didn't. Some of the most unlikely ephemeral things managed to be preserved, while other items disappeared as though a black hole came by the earth one day and sucked it all up. I don't have a major event like a fire to account for any of the loss, mostly just careless treatment by people who had no real idea how certain things should be preserved. The result is oddly complete things, and other things with gaps that are unexplainable. It is what it is, baby.

I, too, have purchased items on eBay to replace things I once had. In a few cases, it isn't even that I loved a certain thing all that much. But it had been a part of my life, and I felt there would be a certain satisfaction or comfort to be had from having it around again.  :)

That's something I like about being a musician in a show. The underwear is not on display. 

 ;D

Not if you're doing it right.

I have a problem with saving. You might call it hoarding. Heck, I even hate to throw out old magazines! A position which, after a while, become untenable. Very quickly.

DR CHAS SMITH I think DR singdaw is correct - indeed the a musician's underwear can be on display under the right circumstances.

HA!  Some Days Are Murder has arrived in Indiana along with a lovely magnet!

It is on my bed so that I can begin reading when I get home from Paris this evening.

I have lost a few valuable souvenirs that my parents tossed out without asking my permission first, including a letter from Frank Capra and my autographs from Ella Fitzgerald and Lillian Gish. But they kept every report card and diploma and wondered why why I threw them away without a second glance.

If I could name one single lost thing in my life to be returned, it would be the daily diary I kept through my senior year in high school. Actually, it was written in a nice spiral bound calendar book someone had given me. I think it was a picture book of Switzerland, with beautiful color photo pages alternating with "weekly" pages divided into seven days to a side. I remember writing very tiny to squeeze in all the activities and comments for each entire day.

Being a calendar book, it would have spanned a calendar year, so what it probably covered was the second half of my junior year and the first half of my senior year, and the summer in between. No matter. Whatever the actual time span, that would absolutely be my Rosebud. It's the only time in my life I kept such a detailed record, and it would return to me literally what I did every single day for a year, in that most critical time in many of our lives. "Rosebud." Yep, that works.

I always buy new underwear and t-shirts when I am in a show, because in Community Theatre, everyone judges your underwear in the dressing room.....

As well they should! ;)

I feel your pain!  My mom, however, has the same opinion as Mimi Schwinn (Gordon's mother) in A New Brain…"Throw It Out!" (Just not for the same reasons, fortunately.)

I'm up, I'm up - five hours of sleep and I have not stopped once - endless phone calls, work sessions, blah, blah, blah. I spent two hours going over act one of Nothing in Common - old lyrics, stuff that hadn't been entered - just insane. IF she did everything correctly we should now have a good working copy from which we can read the damn show. At around six we'll do the same for act two, but I suspect all those changes got put in. That was the entire morning, and then the phone wouldn't stop, I had to respond to e-mails, the CD guy came by and picked up his stuff and then I had to go to the mail place. Thankfully, both important envelopes were there, so I went right to the bank to cash the pension check. Thankfully, no line and I got right to the big boy ATM and was out of there in less than five minutes. I walked to the BofA down the street. There was a small line but the business line only had one person at the window so I went there, made the deposit, and was out of there in less than five minutes, so that was great. Now, I'm home and after a year and three months, the piano tuner is coming to tune the piano in five minutes. After he's done, I have a telephonic conversation to be had with an ancient friend from the Bluth Brothers days, then it's right on to act two for Nothing in Common. Hopefully that won't take more than an hour. At some point, I have to eat something, but I'm not sure exactly when that's supposed to happen.
