Two weeks ago a very heavy and precarious radiator cover fell on my foot. It hurt like a bahstahd, as we say in Maine, but nuthin' got broke, as we also say in Maine. It swelled up real puffy and many-hued bruises appeared and receded over the next ten days. Fortunately all I had to do was the LORD CHANCELLOR IN IOLANTHE!!! For the Light Opera Company of Salisbury (Connecticut), or "LOCOS," acronymically-speaking. LOCOS is one of those fine community theater establishments that hires pros to come in at the last minute for the lead roles. Keith Jurosko and I were Private Willis and the Chancellor. Here is a terrible cell phone photo to back up my claim:
Keith is no stranger to twisted ankles and such, and brought along a nice cane which I used in the show, to good effect. There just isn't any reason the Lord Chancellor shouldn't have an injured foot.
Here is a terrible cell phone photo of the VERY CANE, resting on the very radiator cover that inflicted all this pain on so many innocents:
Isn't that nice? Supposedly I'm not permanently damaged. The diagnosis was "a real bad bone bruise which will probably hurt for a while."
So, are you going to be in Manhattan Monday, the 10th? Why not come to my brother's BASSOON RECITAL? Copy down this information, memorize, and destroy...
Doug's first doctoral recital will be held on September 10, 2007 at 7:30 PM
CUNY Graduate Center – 365 Fifth Ave (at 34th street, northeast corner)
Elebash Recital Hall, which is just inside the lobby and to the left
Music for bassoon and something or someone else... a program of duos
Mignone, Mozart, Paganini, Stravinsky and Villa-Lobos
With Keith Bonner, Aaron Boyd, Harry Searing, and Sarah Seiver
Doug says the program times at 1 hour, 16 minutes. Free, but you can bring a late birthday gift.
Nice cane!!! Are you smacking people over the head with it?
Will you report on the recital for those of us who had to work?
