Then we returned home to very sad news that a dear friend passed away. He was 49 days younger than I am, and 86 days older than Keith. We went to high school with his wife, and I went to Jr. High with both of them.

Curious where the unusual name of Touch Connors came from I googled him. Touch was the nickname given to him by his high school basketball teammates. I have no idea where the name Connors came from, just that he regretted not keeping his birth name Ohanian. I think Touch Ohanian would have worked well together.

I'm afraid I don't have a lot to say at the moment.

singdaw · « **Reply #96 on:** March 22, 2022, 06:37:14 PM »

Which is probably a great relief to many of you.

I am enjoying Paul Ford's book, but he could have used an editor.

Good night, friends.

I’m looking forward to it.

73 other books come first.

John G. · « **Reply #101 on:** March 22, 2022, 06:45:33 PM »

Maybe only 72.

Back to the countertenor and act II of Il Giasone. The plot is ridiculous—nobody liquidates the children. But the music is beautiful. A lot of harpsichord. And the staging is silly in a good way.

I’ve started a hard-hitting documentary called Not Going Quietly. Ady Barkin has ALS and is speaking out against GOP efforts to kill the ACA, defund health, etc., while he still has a voice.

I can’t watch it all in one sitting and I know it’s going to make me mad.

I got a new work laptop today. Of course, I’ve had to spend the last two hours making sure everything works, so that I can work in the morning.

John G. · « **Reply #106 on:** March 22, 2022, 08:32:29 PM »

I have to return the old laptop, which is one inch larger than the new one, so it didn’t fit in the box. And I have to mail it back in two days. Or else.

Very irritating. But a minor problem compared with the stuff in the movie.

Back from a rough run-through, missing four or five people - but we got through it at least.

I completely restaged one of the new songs and am restaging one of the old ones tomorrow.

I believe George's show closed so he should be making with the posts.

And TCB - we need a little dose of TCB.

Thanks DR singdaw that play sounds right up my alley.

I remember Levant on the Friday night Paar show.....he was always smoking or fumbling for matches to light a cigarette. I also liked his book a lot.....he once said his favorite review was of a concert he gave wherein the critic said: "Last night Mr. Levant left his contemporaries and his conductor far behind."

I remember one night when he and Paar were talking and Paar mentioned that Judy Garland would be a guess, Levant said: "She's one ahead of me on commitments, but I'm one ahead of her in suicide attempts."

I bought the 8-"disc" digital download of A Rhapsody in Blue - The Extraordinary Life of Oscar Levant.

It's $25 now, but I got it when it was on sale for only $9.99.
