Prestoni'sPlace

This afternoon, Saturday, the hazy sun and all. Listening to the Met's performance, Cyrano de Bergerac, by Franco Alfano. Radvanovsky as Roxane, Antonio Barasorda, Cyrano. First hearing. Sounds sort of like movie music, but Radvanovsky soars. Heard her in Pique Dame in Dallas a few years back.... First performed in '36, not done in the US, at the Met last season. Attention divided. Went to get a burger for Debbie, who is home bound and hurting!!!

Karl wants to go to the stock show. He wants to see big cows for some reason. I want to go to the Rodeo, but we do not have the money. But this morning, he too was hurting sick and put it off. Now we go, he says. Must take Ross's teeth. He is playing at a jazz club on Montgomery tonight. Cut a disc for the man also. Times rough for Mr Talent. Salvation Army, 6 bucks a night. Better than the whore motel I left him at the other day!!!! Maybe he will make it this time.
