Well, you've read the notes, the notes were chosen, and now it is time for you to post until the chosen cows come home.

So last night, I worked concessions for one of the programs for the Emerald City Music chamber music series. The featured singer was Mikaela Bennet, who, I didn't find out until just a few minutes ago when I looked her up, sang the role of Julie Jordan on the recent World Première Complete Recording of Carousel!

I thought that she was a young, up-and-coming (but very good) opera singer, but no! She's got the chops and a lot of experience already. She and the whole concert were wonderful.

Today, my housemate Shelly and I are planning on seeing the nation tour of The Wiz...but in Portland! My friend David got two tickets at a discount ($40 each...but I don't know what the regular price is) and he can't go, so we're going. He does still need to send me the ticket information, though, but hopefully, he'll do that before we head out. $:-\$

Good morning.

Unpopular opinion: I like Carousel. I think the music is beautiful. Some folks say the show is problematic.

Laura · « **Reply #8 on:** February 08, 2026, 03:22:10 AM »

I marked that Carousel album on Spotify, George. It looks like it will be good.

BK, that's wonderful that you have Doug Haverty so willing and able to give you so many options!

DR Elmore, how old are your cats? Leonard is 7.5

The only avatar I now see is DR Jrand75, and - I know it's taking time - I find this impossible to deal with. Also, the site is moiving very vslowly.

Mikaela was Penelope in the Encores! production of The Golden Apple. She's good on this recording, but I still hate John Wilson's speedy tempi for the Carousel Waltz and Hornpipe.

I will return when I can see some avatars. I have enough stress off the computer.

Good morning, friends.

Lately, I hate to leave the house for any reason.

I have no idea what teams are playing at today's Bad Bunny concert.

We will miss you, DR elmore3003, but I completely understand the sentiment.

Goof morning, all.

It's Sunday, it's zero degrees, and I've got work to do today - in both the piano department and the book reading department.

At least I'm not outside cleaning up sh snow.

Yes, it's amazing how many visual clues the avatars give us, and how they streamline the reading or navigation of a site like this one.

It would be the same if sites like Home Theater Forum or Criterion Forum or - you name it - were suddenly without their avatars. We don't think of them as something we actually depend on, but there it is.

That's an interesting point! It may be which sites you're used to reading. I'm so used to reading the comments sections of the Times which really have no avatars other than the screen name, or All that Chat where it's just the screen name next to the postings. And while Facebook has profile photos next to the comments, they're so small that the profile photos don't identify anyone for me
