Hurricane Priscilla is visiting us this weekend. I just hope we don't get all the rain in a couple of hours, like last time.

Vibes you get just the right amount of rain.

“I feel like I was born knowing the phrase "Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops"… Same!

My dad was a Fiedler connoisseur. One I remember best was Offenbach’s Gaîté parisienne. I was most intrigued by the LP cover.

Wow! How could I forget THAT classic? If I'm remembering right -- is this the one they recorded a second time, but the first one is supposed to be the more impressive recording?

Where I live will be divided as people either root for Seattle, the closest team, or Toronto, the one Canadian team.

Do you care who wins?  I'm thinking maybe your family prefers Toronto.

Do not care except in these times a Canadian World Series champ would be a thorn in the side of certain psychopaths.

Good Q. I know we had a 2nd version on just one LP side with Khachaturian taking up the other side. Looks like they had a version out in 1947 as well.

Today is Grandson's birthday party -- a kids' party at a kid venue. I've enjoyed the family celebrations. But it is time for him to celebrate with kids. I'm sure it will be loud.

Hope everyone has a great time!

SHILLING FOR YOUTUBE VIEWS POST AHEAD -

A Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples' Day tradition.

This asks the parody question:  Even with the objections to Columbus, can we all agree that we still want to keep the 3-day weekend?

Weather-wise, we're still getting that nor'easter tomorrow night through Monday morning, but its path is such that it shouldn't be a rough one in these parts. Knock wood that remains the case.

Book sale was okay. Sold 10 copies. The place was fun. Lively. I want to return.

Congratulations on the book signing success, DR John G!

I'm back from our opening night. The performance went splendidly, the orgy scene was great fun as always, and the cookies all disappeared at the cast party afterwards. Saturday is an off day, then we have a Sunday matinee. Good night!

How did the scenery deal with the collapsing temple?

The two pillars are set up to slant sideways when tugged by the chains. Projections take care of the rest, with the stage blacked out.

 Getting the timing right on that was extensively rehearsed at tech rehearsals, as was the scene change from the dungeon to the temple where the pillars get flown in and set up.
