June 1st is upon us and as Oscar Hammerstein II’s lyrics tell us, “is bustin’ out all over.” We’re nearing this year’s halfway point. I am also just under four months until my 60th birthday.
Friday was a double-header, but by the time I returned from Part 1, I had the luxury of a 90-minute nap before returning to Victoria Theatre to house manage THE KITE RUNNER. The best part of working Friday evening was getting to see my wonderful friend and voice-teaching colleague, Carol Chatfield. The reunion was swift but recharged my batteries for the evening.
It’s 7 AM and the day is already looking to be a beautiful one. I know I should mow the lawn, but I am just too physically tired to do so. Perhaps, tomorrow or Tuesday I will mow. It’s still a bit chilly, and at some point, I will move my work to the deck to enjoy the weather and allow the pooches to play outside. I will take the No. 17 bus downtown around 5:20 PM to report to Victoria Theatre by 6 PM.
On with my day of rest and research.
Make it a great day!
“June Is Bustin’ Out All Over” from CAROUSEL
Oscar Hammerstein II & Richard Rodgers
March went out like a lion
A whippin’ up the water in the bay
Then April cried and stepped aside
And along come pretty little May!
May was full of promises
But she didn’t keep ’em quickly enough for some
And a crowd of doubtin’ Thomases
Was predictin’ that the summer’d never come
But it’s comin, by gum
We can feel it come
You can feel it in your heart
You can see it in the ground
You can see it in the trees
You can smell it in the breeze
Look around! Look around! Look around!
June is bustin’ out all over
All over the meadow and the hill
Buds’re bustin’ outa bushes
And the rompin’ river pushes
Ev’ry little wheel that wheels beside the mill
The Haasienda on Shroyer...
