baby sat for - her two son's had Chicken Pox and my mom forgot that I hadn't already had it - so they exposed me and I caught it from them. The mom felt horrible and got me the record to Godspell ... it was the first time I unwrapped a BRAND NEW - unscratched - record of my VERY OWN!

I LOVED that silly record ... played it ALL the TIME - and drove my family to distraction as a result.

    - so hey - what parts are your kids playing anyway? do they get to SING Day by Day? -- nm - JenBro Jun 11, 11:06 2
      - My son is playing "Herb" and sings/solos on "Learn Your Lessons Well". My daughter is "Camilla" and solos on "On The Willows" -- nm - oblique Jun 11, 11:10 1
        
        both of them solo? wow ... that's very brave :) you must be so proud of them! -- nm - JenBro Jun 11, 11:25
  - *giggles some more* yes, it's 'nearly' (after 'clearly' and 'dearly') -- nm - Diva Jun 11, 11:02 2
    - oh yah - the clearly and dearly were a given ... but nearly just always made me pause - JenBro Jun 11, 11:05 1
      - There's a gospel song with 'nearer to thee" in the lyrics so I never thought twice about it. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 11, 11:19
- he came to my college when we were mounting a production of one of his lesser known musicals (Rags). -- nm - Diva Jun 11, 11:01 4
  - ditto, except it was Children of Eden -- nm - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 11:07 3
    - i think it's cool that he does that. -- nm - Diva Jun 11, 11:11 2
      - he seemed a bit standoffish when he was there, iirc. John Caird also come to one of the performances and was much more engaging. -- nm - znufrii (10 days) Jun 11, 11:13 1
        
        Charles Strouse was there as well during Rags and he was friendlier. I didn't mind Schwartz's sort of standoffish-ness/intensity. - Diva Jun 11, 11:16
