Andy Monroe, yes! That’s the fellow!

[Freddie]

A question for anyone who knows:
The movie "Granny, Get Your Gun" opened in 1940 and the musical in 1946. Did "Annie Get Your Gun" take its title from the 1940 movie?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032550/

[Rodzinski]

It could be Elmore and Andy merely arrived at the same time and I thought they were together.

[Freddie]

Andy Monroe, yes! That’s the fellow!

Long term memory is still good! 

And yet I can't remember what I had for dinner last night.

[Freddie]

It could be Elmore and Andy merely arrived at the same time and I thought they were together.

As far as I know, we'd never met Andy Monroe before the time he was here.

Maybe it was while Larry and Andy were working on the "Singing Nun" musical?


(I know I'd met Blair Fell, who was Andy Monroe's collaborator on the "Singing Nun" musical, a number of times.)

[Rodzinski]

Spooky coincidence that he came up on your FB yesterday.

[Freddie]

Spooky coincidence that he came up on your FB yesterday.

Not Andy himself, but his show:  Former DR Tomovoz and I were mentioning when the last time Tom and I saw each other in person was, and it was in 2006, when we'd all seen "The Tragic and Horrible Life of the Singing Nun" at the Theater at St. Clements at NYMF. 

For reason I don't recall, Tomovoz wasn't able to come to the HHW gathering here that weekend.

[Freddie]

I'm sure the reason we all went to see "The Tragic and Horrible Life of the Singing Nun" at the same time was that Larry worked on the show.

[Freddie]

Feh, I somehow no longer have old emails from 2006, so I can't see the give-and-take regarding that 2006 HHW gathering here.

[Freddie]

Gratuitous reply #100!

Good afternoon!

So, last night at 7:30. Laura returned my call. This is where it gets weird. The caller was Laura Parker, whom I last saw in 1979, in Middletown, Ohio, when she was around 10 years old. Her parents were friends of DR Ginny's and mine.  Her uncle was my NYC friend, operatic baritone William Parker, who died from AIDS around 1990. It was at Will's memorial; that I last saw Laura's father John. By that point, her parents had divorced, and her mother had remarried an old community theater friend of mine. They all - Laura, her family, her mother and stepfather -are now living in Santa Barbara, CA. She swore she did not try to call me, so we figure it was the cosmos telling us to reconnect.

Wow...that's an amazing story, Larry. 

[George]

I looked up William Parker and found out that he had commissioned the AIDS Quilt Songbook. 

[George]

I don't know if I still have them (having had boxes stolen out of my garage years ago), but when they first were released, I bought both the CD and the songbook.

[George]

On the bad side, her stepfather David is going blind and her mother's mental facilities are going, and since both are dear friends, this news distresses me.  I last saw David and Nancy back in 2017, when they drove from North Carolina to Middletown to attend a party that DR Ginny and Richazrd had during my visit to Middletown.

Oh, no.

~~~Vibes of All Kinds for Laura's Parents!!~~~

[George]

I'm enjoying the Goofy watch story, George!  I hope you can get it fixed.

Thanks, Freddie!

[George]

Disney+ & Hulu and now blocking comments on their gazillion offer ads on Facebook!

And Disney has lost $3.5 billion of worth since canceling Jimmy Kimmel.

Interesting.

[George]

Good!  My sister canceled Disney+ and Hulu, too!

[George]

DR George, nice photo of your watch.  That's funny that it runs backwards.

Thanks, Jane.  That's Goofy for you.

For the next several days I’m in the caramel corn business for a fundraiser here in our retirement community next Saturday.  Made my first batch yesterday and it yielded 8 salable snack packs, so I’ll need to make at least 3 more batches.  Off to pop some corn!

That sounds so good.  I actually haven't had homemade caramel corn in quite a while.

Well, it's (passed) time for me to get my lazy butt outta bed and stuff.

Off to do stuff!

[bk]

I'm up, I'm up - five hours of sleep. Got up at ten and have been listing more CDs. I want to get as many up as possible before I shut down the Amazon seller account, which I'm now pretty determined to do.

[bk]

Mac and cheese is ordered and should be here soon.

[bk]

After that, I'll list a couple more CDs and that will be that.
