TCB, that reviewer had better frickin' acknowledge he saw a rehearsal, not a regular performance.

Damn him.  Damn him all to hell.

But now, having had a bad dress rehearsal, you will have a hum-dinger of an opening night.  BREAK LEG VIBES.

I bought the wrong fake milk for my coffee.  I hate it when my mind goes blank.

BK:

ONE-EYED JACKS is/was considered public domain for a time, and there were a lot of bootleg versions being sold.

Do you know the reason for it being p.d.?

Lack of copyright notice?

Was it "rescued" from p.d.?

My familiarity with the music of Sibelius is nothing to write home about.  I have these recordings which could use some airing out:

Pelleas and Melisande suite, Charles Mackerras conducting.
Kirsten Flagstad, songs, London Symphony Orchestra.
The Tempest incidental music, Sir Charles Groves, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic.

Ormandy - Four Legends from the "Kalevala".  Also have it conducted by Lukas Foss.

Heifetz and Shlomo Mintz playing the violin concerto.

Ormandy - the first symphony.
Koussevitzky, Monteux, and Paray doing the second symphony.
Alexander Gibson doing the fifth, London Symphony Orch.

Well, it's a start.

Criterion has a habit of picking up public domain titles like His Girl Friday and My Man Godfrey.

If that's the case DR TCB - why didn't the reviewer just come to auditions and write about that.....

Wednesday afternoon greetings!  I've been for a routine doctor's appointment that included a fasting blood draw, a flu shot, and a pneumonia shot.  Richard and I then went to Bob Evan's for breakfast and to do a couple of errands.  Home now for some holiday cocooning.

I then went to market, but forgot to get the correct fake milk, stopped at post office, and walked home.  I have to step out in a bit and go to the bank.

That is indeed a pretty good one.  Might even take first prize.

You had both shots at the same time, vibes you don't have a reaction!

Well, if I do at least I'm not hosting a houseful of people tomorrow...

Charlotte's asked me to see the Lonnie Price documentary on Merrily We Roll Along with her, so I will not be seeing it tomorrow.  I'll stay home and watch a DVD. God knows I've got plenty to watch here.  I still cannot locate that BBC War & Peace!
