Kitty cleanup is finished. Thankfully, the bathtub and bathroom floor were unscathed. Next, the bed and then on to the audiobook.

Second blurb just arrived!

YouTube seems to have decided that I want more and more short clips about Parker Posey's line readings in WHITE LOTUS Season 3.

This one is Patrick Schwarzenegger, who plays her son on the show, reacting on the Today Show to Parker Posey's line readings, even trying an imitation of her certain-to-be-legendary "Piper, Noooooo!"

DR Singdaw congratulations on completing your move. Wishes you are very happy in your new, larger place.

DR Singdaw do you use a laundry room in your building or have machines in your apartment?

The Kennedy Center, not an organization I like anymore, posted a Facebook video of Charles Strouse playing and singing Tomorrow. Eventually he’s joined by Jason Graae, Karen Morrow and Liz Callaway. What a backup group!

The link to Alan Cumming's rendition of "But Alive!" bears repeating - to honor Mr. Strouse and prove the song is liftable.

Is there an old wives' tale associated with doing that?

I guess I could google that, but it's better for posting totals to ask.

Long and excruciating rehearsal this morning.

In the end, all is well. But for my taste, a few of these students aren't ready for daytime, let alone prime time.

And this recital thingy isn't till August, so the hell with it. It'll get better.

TOD Part 1: For jazz:

- Bill Evans
- Keith Jarrett
- Michel Petrucciani
- Brad Mehldau

MichaelG · « **Reply #52 on:** May 17, 2025, 11:12:50 AM »

TOD Part 2: For classical, just sticking with currently active pianists to narrow things down:

- Emmanuel Ax
- Yefim Bronfman
- Jean-Yves Thibaudet

Among those no longer living, I always have a soft spot for Van Cliburn since he was my introduction, plus his support of Interlochen over the years.

Just something my mom and her mom always said DR FREDDIE.

New house new broom....don't bring your troubles with you leave them behind.

I am fascinated by this photo I saw in Reuters. The back wall of the home was ripped off, but there the woman is sweeping her bedroom and the clothes in the shelves are still there.
