I have a beautiful copy of the Columbia gatefold LP, and a PDF of the PC score. Getting these out for listening soon.

I want that PDF!

I'll send it. I didn't even know I had it! 

[ChasSmith]

Let me know if you got it okay. If not, I'll put it up and give you a link to it.

[ChasSmith]

I haven't yet looked through it. I hope it's intact and not too marked up!

[Jane]

Wow. It’s actually raining.

Great news for you.

[Jane]

It is also raining here.  I expect the rain will last all day.

I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of good sleep. It really helps.

[Jane]

I thought I was lucky getting six hours of sleep

Friday.

The furnace is running.

I finally turned it up to 68 degrees.

That's a good setting. I wish I could stick to it. My thermostats are old, and on the downstairs one, the actual temperature readout never did correspond with the setting, so it's basically guesswork and going by what feels right. I'm comfortable with what I THINK is 70 degrees, but I should get a good thermometer to test both floors with...and then try to be a little more thrifty if possible.

Friday afternoon greetings!  I’m back from the book discussion, lunch with Sharon and Carolyn, and a couple of errands.

Tomorrow is AAUW Middletown’s 100th anniversary and we’re celebrating with a gala luncheon.  Our local public library created an oral history video for us that dropped this morning:

What I want to know is, “How does my Aunt Jo know so much about AAUW Middletown?”

Did everyone like book?  Did you finish it in time?

Food should be here in about ten minutes - orange chicken from the good place.

I did finish it, but only by reading it faster than I’d have liked.  It was a big hit with everyone.

I enjoyed watching your very interesting clips.  Aunt Jo?  What did I miss?

Thank you.  Reading too fast can take a bit away from the story.

DR Jane, I look and sound like my Aunt Jo, my mother’s sister.

Now I'm trying to recall the song from The Naked Prey.....

DR Ginny, how do I get Annabelle & Thatch into the book club circuit?

LOL, DR Elmore, “the book club circuit” is kind of like “antifa” - it’s not really a thing but an idea.  One thing you might do is make it known, maybe via Facebook, that you’re available for virtual visits (via Zoom or FaceTime, or conference call) with groups that choose to discuss the book.

[Jrand75]

That would be fun.

Jack's right. That does sound like fun!

YOUTUBE PARODY LINK AHEAD -

Speaking of shows (like Grand Hotel in the notes) that didn't succeed the first time and came back as big hits years later -

Even as Broadway costs rise and overall profitability drops, perfect example of star power and screen and streaming potential at work is the upcoming screen version of the smash big-name revival of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG.

As we look forward to the MERRILY movie release, recalling how the Broadway revival of the legendary 1981 disaster was one of the hottest Broadway tickets ever, not just the hottest Sondheim ticket.

Very good Freddie!

[George]

Sweet!

[Jrand75]

Yesterday MR BK was talking about the early 1950's revival of Golden Boy and mentioned the lively cast.

Also in the cast was Odets' wife Bettye Grayson as Lorna Moon the part created on Broadway by Frances Farmer - and played in the film version by Barbara Stanwyck.

[Jrand75]

That is a program from the later national tour.

TOD

Watched another Twilight Time disc last night, Enemy Mine (1985). I remember 1985 quite well, but I swear I never heard of that movie until they issued the Blu-ray in 2012. I watched it then but had remembered very little, so last night was like seeing it anew for the most part. I guess I'd say it's one of those I admire, but don't love. Definitely interesting in a few ways.

Later on TCM I came into the middle of, and sort of watched, Death on the Nile (1978) - bits and pieces of which I've seen, but I've never seen the movie straight through. I'm not enamored of it thus far, but it's a great cast and it gets high marks, so I should give it the benefit of a real watching sometime.

I've never seen Death on the Nile, but I have seen Enemy Mine, though I don't remember too many details other than I really liked it.

Very good Freddie!

Thanks, George!

I wonder, should we just get to page 4

[Freddie]

It seems rather close

Doesn't it?
