Well, you've read the notes, the notes were up and rainy and posted on a Thursday, and now it is time for you to post until the rainy day cows come home.

And the word of the day is: ASTUTE!

What do you know? Today's new day of posts has opened up, but yesterday's day of posts isn't closed!

Well, I must be off. I have no real plans for today, just to stay home for work again...4th day in a row!

Have a good day, all!

Good morning, friends.

I almost typed "Good night, friends."

But that would be silly.

Annabelle is not eating this morning. Thankfully, Thatch and Stella will eat anything.

I had a very strange dream that I was on the crew of a ship in another century and a woman was giving birth. In another dream I was with a British family in the early 20th century.

I have a grocery delivery between 11 and 1:00.

DR Laura, great news about the ceiling and paint job. Perhaps you should have served soup bowls and split pea soup to the crew months ago?

DR vixmom, stay safe!

I had one of my own strange dreams, just on two familiar themes. Intense ones, though. But mine are never as exotically world- and time-traveling as DR Elmore's.

Fantastic. Are these, then, the replacements for the original cast?

Something I've always wondered -- when these casts did their numbers on TV, is the house band playing, or were pre-recorded tracks used? I think the typical TV band would have had to be sweetened with additional players in many cases, right? And if it was tracks, were they only instrumental or did they include the vocals to be lip-synced?

It's New Year's Eve Eve, Eve.

Fascinating question, DR ChasSmith. I would love to know the answers, too.

There must be a way to throw a Yves in there, too.

I've been listening to The Streets of New York and last night I paid my five buck$ to Concord and downloaded a two-week perusal of the score. It looks like great fun for the two pianists, but it is VERY busy and there is LOTS of music in this thing. And the vocal music requires good ... you know ... singers. Oh my. The two-piano and vocal book is 310 pages long, and I am here to tell you it is full of notes.

Piano I doubles on celeste and Piano II doubles on accordion. It would be nice if my choice for the second pianist happens to play accordion, but all of this can be done on keyboards if the patches are of good quality. This will be performed in the same space as our I Do! I Do!, so it's absolutely two keyboards, not pianos. And even if we had the space for it, no one around here has a real celesta except the symphony orchestras, to my knowledge.

I could have, except I couldn't get a crew to get out here!

The Roofer got the leftover Halloween candy when he was here.

The comments tell you the dancers. Miss De La Hoya is Julia Stites. She’s good but the dance fit Donna McKechnie’s body better. I think the heft of the singing was always left to the women on the desks.

I believe you can leave the eves to Yves under the eaves.

I loved the clip. The black girl on the right didn't really seem to be singing all the words.....but maybe she just got BIG teefs.

Important envelope vibes for MR BK.

Good news from DR LAURA.
