She wasn't identified during the taping last night, and I don't think she was on Monday's or Tuesday's shows either. She was introduced when the band came out, but I did not catch her full name. This is extra annoying because I've seen her play before and I just can't pull her name from wherever it lodged in my brain. She also backed up the musical guest that was taped last night but will be broadcast later. An issue with the full piano is that it crowds the space. You'll remember they had the horns playing from one level up for a while. Yes, Paul had three keyboards, but they were playing where the desk is now.

That's inexcusable. --Dave Sikula On Wednesday, November 2, 2022 at 7:22:13 PM UTC-7 David Bruggeman wrote: I left the Ed about 6:45 Eastern, and haven't seen the show yet, so I might have more to say later in the week. Most of what Dave describes below reflects my experience, though the process is much more efficient than in 2017. I arrived at 3:30, and once my plus one satisfied all the COVID requirements, we were in the Ed within 20 minutes and right to our seats (ground level, near the back and across from Joe Saylor in the band, though we still had a fair amount of time waiting in the theater. The staff had music piped in (mostly current hits). I can't remember who came first, but the floor director and the warm-up guy (Paul Mercurio, who was probably doing it in 2017) were next. Mercurio was leaning hard on the cheerleading approach to being a warm-up comic, which can easily rub someone the wrong way. His interactions with audience members were more entertaining. The band came out and the crowd really responded. They played the song that used to play over the end titles (chorus lyrics "I feel good, I feel free, I feel fine just being me.") Stephen came out during the song, did the Q&A thing, and then the show started around 5:30-5:40. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
