Peyton Place has nothing on your neighborhood!

My own brother and his wife had a classic play written about them. Their real story even had to be toned down from the real-life horrors that they are. Have you ever heard of a play called MACBETH?

In 1985, when I was working on Cole Porter's show JUBILEE, we were trying to find recordings of the beautiful June Knight, one of the stars of the 1935 Broadway production. We knew she danced, and she sang "Just One of Those Things" and "Begin the Beguine." I wanted to hear her to set the keys for the reconstruction, but we could find nothing. Well, she did make the film Broadway Melody of 1936, I learned years later, and she had a spectacular number with Robert Taylor and Nick Long Jr., "Ive Got a Feelin' You're Foolin'" and it's really wonderful.

Good morning, all.

Had a dream of taking someone through my favorite bookstore. My legs began having neurological problems as we got higher and higher into the store. I kept saying I would deal with it later.

The bookstore part is a recurring dream.

DR FREDDIE yes many of us thought that was the case.

The shot was so close Brian lost his shoes when it hit him.....very sad.

I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep. I guess that was enough and I know I'll doze off later.

In an hour or so, I'll go to the mail place and then do banking.

Freddie · « **Reply #42 on:** July 01, 2025, 09:30:55 AM »

Have you confirmed the important envelopes are there?

Good ... afternoon, all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #44 on:** July 01, 2025, 10:02:08 AM »

Been very very busy this morning, and I must continue being busy.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #45 on:** July 01, 2025, 10:03:10 AM »

I, too, have to take a run out to the bank and grab something to eat to hold me over till after rehearsal tonight.

We're meeting a little early, and as of now, we're to play inside the building this time because of the weather forecast calling for rain pretty much all evening.

Back from picking up two important envelopes and banking. No waiting at either bank.

From DR Rodzinski:

Quote

Took a bus from hotel to Papeete downtown. It was more fun than I thought. Nice markets and shoppes. Ate a quiche. Walked around. Caught the bus back, then I went for a couple mile walk back to a cemetery I’d seen. Was stupid to not take water or money. But found another historic cemetery on the way. Took some nice photos then made it back in the midday heat. Rehydrated and jumped in the pool.

Water & money would have been a good idea. Otherwise, it sounds like a nice day.

The convention is going well so far - many connections with colleagues being reinforced. No security issues so far.

Good to hear.

Today my brother and I are attending a memorial service for our former neighbor Randy.

When we moved into this house, Randy and Jeanne had lived in the house across the street for about five years. They had two school age children.

Oldest son Brian grew up and started attending Indiana University. He worked part time as a bouncer in a club in Bloomington. One night there was an altercation and when Brian went to help the doorman, the crazy guy causing trouble shot him and he died.

It was very hard on Randy and Jeanne and they eventually divorced. Jeanne remarried and she and her new husband still live across the street. Her new husband has a son who has some problems and has spent some time in jail. At one point he was appointed a lawyer by the court.....and it was the crazy shooter who had "studied law" in jail and become an attorney. It was quite an ordeal.

So we shall see what we shall see.....

What a sad, sad story. I hope the problem child is now doing ok. My condolences on the loss of your neighbor/friend.
