The show last night (Into the Woods) was good, but I was starting to fade during the latter portions of the second act. T'was a late night. Orchestra was pretty good, but it was reduced to 9 from the 14 or 15 players required (at this small house that was the absolute limit that would fit in the space), so there were certainly passages that would have been so much better with the full complement. C'est la vie.
Big week coming up -- my last really big one for a while. Another spring concert Tuesday evening, followed by two rehearsals and three performances of Chicago, and a voice master class-type of thing on Saturday morning.
Mother’s Day greetings! Yesterday I received flowers from Rob and his family. Last night that family grew with the arrival of George Walter Palmer!
Great news from DR GINNY.I have a new great nephew who was born at 2 p.m. yesterday.No name as yet.
In Greencastle years ago I worked in theeder with a woman Ann whose mother is Martha Hyer's sister.She was my height. One day Ann was wearing a very nice sweater. I told her it was very nice. She said it was a hand me down from her Aunt Martha. I noticed that the sleeves were rolled up a couple of times at her wrist. Ann said "Aunt Martha has gorilla arms."Something to look for when you watch her in a movie. I notice she does usually have her arms bent at the elbow and never dangling at her side.
Happy birthday, Irving Berlin!

Bob arrived at 11:00 and we had a wonderful visit. I havent seen him since maybe 2019, so we had a lot to catch up on. We've both been through prostate cancer, so we compared notes. Since he sees almost everything, I wanted to hear about Audra in Gypsy (thumbs down), Wonderfyl Town and Love Life at Encores!, and other shows and concerts. Annabelle and Stella really loved him and climbed all over him, and Thatch hid out but then started showing himself from a distance because he's a little flirt.
Just got off the phone with my friend Bonnie and her sister. Bonnie has aphasia and her loss of vocabulary is heartbreaking. Should not happen to a writer.
Thanks to DR JANE & DR LAURA & DR GEORGE - I hope I can report on a name tomorrow.
A treat!
Congratulations to Grandma Ginny and Uncle JRand!
