See: My Fair Lady West Side Story (true, these were both adapted from other classics of the theatre) The King and I Sweeney Todd (haven't seen the film yet but I did see a film of the original broadway version) A Little Night Music (skip the movie version but the Ingmar Bergman film it was adapted from 'Smiles of a Summer Night' is one of his few lighter movies and a gem) There have been such things as literate musicals that have plots that stand on their own.

My Father - Hynde, Chrissie Don't get me wrong, I love Chrissie and really dig the early Pretenders albums but I'm having a really hard time imagining her singing this quiet, gentle, lovely song. It will certainly be a new take on it. > 8. Albatross - Wainwright, Rufus I'm sure some hearts are a-flutter over this one! Including a certain librarian who lives in Florida!

When I quipped a few weeks ago that Annie was unavailable for comment, I guess I spoke too soon. I guess I should set my own brownie recipes aside for a spell and try these out. I mean I just simply have to, right? I'll let y'all know how they turn out, if you haven't tried them yourselves already, that is. I think its funny that just about all brownie recipes have pretty much the same ingredients. Just different proportions, and different methods of mixing them. And they all turn out differently. Just like snowflakes. I'm looking forward to this. And its a no-brainer what music I'll be playing while I cook 'em. Joy to all, David ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2008 #64 **************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
