Thank you, DR JRand!  From what I hear, she's getting a new tooth for her birthday.

Does anyone have the sheet music to the Joe Lubin I.Roth tune Inspiration from PILLOW TALK?

Just the melody line would be fine.....or can someone write it out on music paper for me?  I have an MP3.

In two days (eight hours) Michael has achieved miracles. My storage space is cleaned out, vacuumed, and organized. Next week's project will be to inventory and prepare the three cartons going to Miami University Library for shipment; then, seriously weed the detritus from the cartoins of scores that Josh will take.

The flotsam and jetsam, as it were.

I've been dealing with a bit of that myself today.  From late elementary school through high school I kept a scrapbook that I've lugged around now for 50+ years.  The book itself is falling apart and scrapbooking has changed a lot since 1962, so today I took it all apart, sorted the contents for new purposes and will give the old (non-archival) book a proper disposal.

This is all part of a project I'm working on now to create a new album documenting my birth to marriage, a period of 30 years, using an online course called "Before Your Story."  That's based on the teacher's desire to document her life before her daughter for that daughter.

My album, however, is called "Who were YOU?" because that's what one of Richard's and DR Elmore's high school classmates asked me at their 40th reunion.  Her question stunned me speechless and I'm hoping this process leads me to the answer I didn't have 17 years ago.

Among the items salvaged from my scrapbook were 3 ticket stubs that help answer BK's question from several weeks ago about road show movies we'd seen.  Apparently, I saw (all in Detroit):

"The Agony and the Ecstasy," at the Music Hall Theatre, on Sunday, December 26, 1965
"The Sound of Music," at the Madison Theatre, on Tuesday, December 28, 1965
"Dr. Zhivago," at the United Artists Theatre, on Friday, August 19, 1966

I know we also saw "Windjammer," "How the West was Won," and "My Fair Lady," but I don't have ticket stubs for those.

I do have HBO Max, so I'll definitely watch it more than once.

Will you be recording it? he asked, trying hard not to sound greedy.

Sadly, the movie will be on HBO Max and not HBO TV.  I can't record from HBO Max because it's a streaming service.  However...a copy may be SHHH!!! DON'T TELL ANYONE!! "procured" from <ahem> disreputable sources. ::)

Well, DR ChasSmith, they and a lot of ticket stubs from Detroit's Fisher and Hilberry Theatres are going into a scrapbook layout.  I'd always intended to collage ticket stubs underneath the glass top of a coffee table, but this will have to do.

My friend Charlie Harmon, who worked for Bernstein, told me the basics of this story years ago, but this is definitive!

That has to be one of the best stories ever. Thank you. Reading it and watching the accompanying video quite literally improved my morning.

I downloaded the article as a PDF and will read it at my lunch, then watch the video when I get back from lunch.
