Daily Stuff: Started the day by meeting with Steve Gunderson. We are developing a show based on the songs of Harry Nilsson. We shall see how it goes. We already have a basic shape and song order. Today, we honed down some of the lyrics we are using and who will be singing them. So Steve has a nice base to start writing arrangements.

Afterwards, I finished up posting this week's installment of 24 Preludes on You Tube. And also wrote and scheduled tomorrow's e-mail blast.

Got some good news. The art installation the SDB is hosting in the Mandell Weiss Gallery is going to be able to stay up for an extra month.

Met Candye for an early dinner. She is off for a tour tomorrow. So we had a discussion regarding a possible local holiday/X-mas show.

In the evening, I had SUDS rehearsal. I got to take it easy today as we had a music rehearsal. Steve (who arranged the music) was able to come in today, so I turned over all the time to him. He gave great notes and the cast was eager to work with him. It IS a singer's show after all.

Having a little car issue right now, will have to take care of it tomorrow.
