Well, you've read the notes, the notes most likely had typos, and now it is time for you to post until the too many cows come home.

And the word of the day is: MONETARY!

BTW, I heard from dear reader Iris - not doing so well but sends all her love to all you dear readers.

So, there was a local jazz pianist named Joe Baque with whom I work in some vocal workshops about 15 years ago or so. He died two and a half years ago (at age 100!) and it turns out that he wrote a show 60 years ago with Ira Gasman!

I was just contacted by a theater friend, Jim, who was approached by Carol, Joe's widow, to possibly present this show, and Jim wants to know if it's something that TAO would be interested in.

I personally am, but I'm forwarding Jim's e-mail to TAO's president and our artistic director. We'll have to discuss this at a board meeting, but who knows. A 60-year old "new" Ira Gasman musical might happen (shades of Levi)!

WEll, I'll shower, and try to be in bed by two or two-thirty.

Oh, and if anyone is interested in learning a little about Joe Baque, here's his obituary:

The video is a really nice slide show but with really generic music.

What an enjoyable Sondheim parody lyric in the notes today, BK!

It’s after midnight. I just finished assembling the book. Everything from the dedication to the acknowledgments. 26,000 words.

Very interesting DR GEORGE. I love working on original material unless the writers or musicians are ASSES.

And of course as a writer I hate it that if a work is being done for the first time everyone from the light man to the janitor feels that no opinion should be unexpressed.

The video is a really nice slide show but with really generic music.

A very interesting choice of a four-minute video, and the music chosen, to help introduce him to people who might not know him, and also for people who know him to remember him.

Possible question for Ask BK Day (or for anyone who might have thoughts) -

If you were asked to do a short minutes-long video for your eventual obituary, likely to also be seen by quite a few people who may never have heard of you before -
Would you concentrate on family and friend remembrances, maybe? On work remembrances or accomplishments? Would you simply not care about what will be in your obit because you'll be gone already and it won't matter to you once you're gone?

DR JOHN G those look like White Lotus Shirts.

I got up early to shower and get ready to head for the Cat Scan - I guess I have to find a cat to take.

I am wearing my casual DeadPool wear since I can't wear anything with zippers or wire...my sister will have to hold my billfold, keys, and glasses....and my hat.

My question for ASK BK DAY:

Do you have a favorite among the triumvirate of Mr. Bob Marcucci's Philadelphia singers?

This is also a question for other Dear Readers of a certain age.

Good morning, all!

I slept rather well. I had a long dream in which I was oput of town on a job. When I got back to the city, I went back to the Barnes & Noble store near my apartment to see my friends who worked there. It was a Saturday during the holiday season, the wonderful manager Patty was fraught because the store was packed and several of the first floor employees hadn't shown up. Before U knew it, I was hired back and working the first floor customer service desk with Neil, who left B & N around 2002 to take a full-time job proof-reading for a major law firm.

If I were not on a walker and could stand and move easily, I'd go over and beg them to rehire me. I need a job.
