I will be "appearing" on Syracuse University College Radio, WERW (1570am 
in Syracuse or werw.syr.edu on the web), Tuesday evenings from 7-9 pm.  
General selection is mostly Classic Rock, but I do take requests.  I 
have been known to play some songs by groups that I heard about due to 
Grex (Arrogant Worms, Captain Tractor).  If you want to send in 
requests, I will gladly accept them, and try to play them.

I will be appearing in a short play called 'Sightlines' on 12 January 
2002 at Performance Network in Ann Arbor during the 12-hour theatrical 
marathon fundraiser for Heartleande Theatre Company.

I will also be directing one or two other short pieces in the same event.

Stact (sea, dewshine) is the floor manager for "Goodnight Desdemona, Good
Morning Juliet" put on by Community High, tonight is the last night.  Since
there is a balcony scene and the school has no balcony so they have to fudge
it, Staci gets to come on stage with a couple of very short (one - three word)
lines while they set up a kludge involving a defective stage light, a ladder
and the actress coming out of character long enough to climb the ladder.

It was well done and very funny.  Staci is having a ball as are the other kids
involved.  She is being lightly pressured to audition for the next comedy.
She hasn't yet decided which side of the stage she prefers.

Hmm.  I was just last night having a conversation in which I was drawing 
some parallels between Juliet and Desdemona and the decisions they made 
and the reasons why.

1.  You have the wrong plumbing to play Desdemona in real life, though I 
doubt not that you might love a Moor.

2.  Even Hamlet's father did not *like* to have poison poured into his 
ear, that was merely the means by which Claudius disposed of him.

Your point being...?

Actually, I believe poison in the ear was used in other Shakespeare plays
than Hamlet...can't *quite* recall if Othello was one.  I want to say it
was referred to in a peripheral sense, but it's been too long since I last
read it.

  Now I'm wondering if tsty's response to the previous item (120)
  was meant for this item (121) instead..  Perhaps:

>  (120) #13/13:    TS Taylor (tsty)  Sun, Nov  4, 2001 (10:01)
>   alwyas leave them wanting more ......

was meant to be:

>   always leave them wanting Moor ......

Im not much in to Hamlet and that sort of things.  what else is spoken about
here?

response 12 of 44: Mark Unseen   Nov 5 14:47 UTC 2001

That depends on which version of "here" you are looking at.
This item appears in both the Agora and Music conferences.
Try "browse" for a list of subject headers, and "read since 11/1"
to see what's been written in the last five days.

re #10 ..... great! that's too good an observation to be wrong!
  
re #8 ... bzzzzt, you only identified one, and you let a non-issue
of plumbing get in your way .... the plays are the reference points
for today's, in real life, tragedies.
  
re #9 YEHHHHHHH!!!!  you named both othello and hamlet, the two
i mixed, metaphorically speaking, to describe how i'm just
a player in't. 
  
<wanna try for the third?>

Looks like I might be playing bass with a local cajun band at some kind of
dance next weekend at the Pittsfield Grange.

Staci is floor manager for Community High's next play - "The Virtuous Burglar"
play dates in approximately a month (exact dates to come later).  She's having
fun following in Daddy's footsteps.

 Tomorrow is Veterans  Day, and two Detroit radio stations usually play my
rendition of a song called "Names On A Wall" on Veterans Day and Memorial
Day. The stations are WCSX 94.1FM and ALICE 106.7 FM, and if it is played
on WCSX it will be between 7 am and 1 pm (Over Easy program) and on ALICE
it would be between 8 am and noon (Alice's Restaurant).  Heck, if you want
to request the song, WCSX's # is 313-298-WCSX and ALICE 's is 313-298-ALICE.

Re #14: Yes, Scott has agreed to play bass for our Cajun/Zydeco dance on 
Friday, November 16 at the Pittsfield Grange Hall (on Ann Arbor-Saline 
Road, about 1/2 mile south of I-94). The band should start around 8:30pm, 
right after the dance lessons. I play Cajun accordion in the band Maison 
Bleue, and also have to find new musicians to play when other folks can't 
make it to gigs! :-) I'm really thankful Scott has agreed to play for us.

I also have Cajun/Zydeco jam sessions at the Grange, usually on the 1st 
and 3rd Saturdays of each month, from 2-5pm. I even give out CZ sheet 
music and CDs (although I need to burn a new batch of CDs). Y'all come on 
out and pass a good time!

I really do need to make it out to that thing sometime.  I keep promising
myself I will...

CA this weekend and expect to be involved in a few jam sessions...

I've been invited to perform at the annual Christmas Ragtime Bash
at the Unitarian Church in Ann Arbor.  It's on Sunday December 9
and starts at 7:30pm.  Tickets at the door.  Come early; it usually
sells out.  Other performers include William Bolcom, Joan Morris,
Bob Seely, Terry Parrish, Kerry Price, and Mike Montgomery.  I'll
give more details as I get them.
