Two!

[John G.]

Hello, 0 guests!

[John G.]

I tried El Pollo Loco once or twice and really liked it. Like ChasSmith, the salsa had definite appeal. The price was also reasonable. But … none of the locations are along one of my paths, so out of sight really is out of mind.

[Rodzinski]

Thanks for the kind thoughts, kind folks.

[ChasSmith]

Thanks for the kind thoughts, kind folks.

AND ANOTHER.

Kind thought, that is.

Not a pleasant situation to be dealing with, some of us know well.

[Freddie]

Thanks for the kind thoughts, kind folks.

Adding job vibes from us, too.

[Rodzinski]

Right Elmore. Ricky gives a nice little shout out to Eric in that live clip.

[ChasSmith]

I have no knowledge of Koo Koo Roo that BK also mentioned.

I see it was started in the year before I left L.A., so I would probably have seen the one near Beverly Center if it was there at that time, but I really don't remember knowing about it at all.

[Rodzinski]

I’m just looking for the evenin’, the morning in your eyes.

[Rodzinski]

Thank you fellas. There’s a local paper down in Bellingham looking for someone. I wrote a note to the owner to see how remote the gig could be. I live in the same county, but obviously, separated by another country. Be a lateral move, but just keeping options open.

[Rodzinski]

My publisher thinks the COO’s departure was just a personality clash between him and the CEO. So maybe not a dire signal overall. Still… nobody really in charge at the moment.

[Rodzinski]

I’ve never knowingly tried El Pollo Loco.

Today is Kristi's birthday* and I got stuff to do, so that's it for me for now. Later!

*The Andromeda Strain film starts with an opening caption of February 5, 1971, her birth year and everything, a thing she's always gotten a kick out of.

Happy birthday, Kristi!

Ditto!

And now DR Rodzinski's avatar has vanished along with DR Laura's.

I enjoyed the Rick Nelson song and info from DR RODZINSKI and DR ELMORE.

Amazon Fresh arrived around 8:45. Most of the bread items were crushed from beiing jammed into bags with heavy items like cans and a bag of onions while other bags were half empty. The packagers are idiots. I detest Jeff Bezos and wish I could avoid ordering from Amazon, but Amazon's my only source for grocery deliveries.

[ChasSmith]

That song is indeed nice!

I haven't kept up with the Nelsons much in recent years, but it's always great to be reminded of them.

My one time to see any of them was when I was eating lunch one day at the Magic Pan in Beverly Hills, late 1970s, and Harriet and David were at the next table, going over some papers while eating. And no one was bothering them. I miss those days.

From DR Rodzinski,

My fave Ricky Nelson lately is from his Live at the Troubadour album from 1969.
Violets of Dawn.

Thank you for the link.

[Jane]

from DR John,

I’m listening to The Heart’s Invisible Furies for the second time. I’m really loving it. It’s like a gay Dickens in a more recent past.

I read this in 2020.  I do not recall thinking it was like a gay Dickens

Fun regarding Andromeda Strain.

Happy Birthday Kristi!

[Jane]

I don't believe I have ever eaten at El Pollo Loco .

[Jane]

Thanks for the kind thoughts, kind folks.

You are in a scary situation which we hope works out well for you.

So many stars to see growing up in LA.  I never saw the Nelson's.

DR George, thanks for the Follies link. Joshie assisted Jonathan Tunick on the orchestrations for that. Janie Dee plays Phyllis. In 2022, when I thought we had the money to record Jubilee, I cast her as the Queen. The cast at that time was as follows:
The King . . . . Nickolas Grace
The Queen . .  Janie Dee
The Prince  .  .  Nadim Maaman
The Princess . . . Annalene Beechey
Lord Wyndham  .  . John Molloy
Mowgli (Johnny Weissmuller) . . Jason Graae
Eva Standing (Elsa Maxwell) . . Kim Criswell
Karen O'Kane (Ginger Rogers)
Eric Dare (Noël Coward( . . Bryce Pinkham

I'd make a few changes if we were casting it now.

That's really cool, Larry!

I left Scarlett Strallen off as Karen O'Kane!
