So, last night, Rudy buzzed over after he got off of work to start putting together the stage production of "The Bee Society: The Musical". He was kinda worn out after a long, hot day in the Far Meadow, so he didn't stick around very long, but at least we got some things figured out.
"The very firtht thing we need for our muthical ith muthic," he said.
"Very true," I agreed. "it wouldn't bee a Musical without music."
"Exthactly," he said. "tho, I have jotted down a litht of muthicianth we need to conthider including in the thow."
He gave me the list and I noticed that, of course, Ultra Violet (along with Flutter and Slam, her backup Dance and Percussion Troupe) was at the top. He also had Blue Z Bee and his band, "Four Bees and a Wasp", the always-popular and very famous Zambeezi ("I'm thinking he and Ultra Violet might bee able to collaborate on compothing thome of the muthic," he said), and had included a few names I didn't recognise.
"Who is this Beetsa Beetsa you included here?" I had to know.
"You're not familiar with Beetha Beetha?"
"No," I said.
After he finished dramatically expressing his disbeelief that I had never heard of Beetsa Beetsa, Rudy said, "My dear bee, Beetha Beetha ith only the motht admired and rethpected performer of Thamba Muthic who hath ever grathed a thage."
"Samba music?" I asked.
"Yeth," Rudy told me, "I am very thurprithed you've never heard of him. He hath a great deal of exthperienth with Muthicalth. He uthed to have an act where he performed with a quartet that wath known ath 'Dogth Over The Moon' beefore he thplit off from them and beecame famouth ath a tholo act."
"Dogs Over The Moon? I've heard of them! I think everybody's heard of them," I said. "Wasn't he the Lead Singer in that group? And wasn't he in the news awhile back for beeing injured in an improperly-planned Stage Jump?"
"Yeth," Rudy said. "He ended up in the hothpital for about three month after the audienth didn't realith they we're thuppothed to break hith fall ath he leaped off the thtage at the end of his thong, 'I'll Bee There When You Fall'."
"Kind of ironic, when you think about it," I commented.
"Yeth, it wath. But he'th better now and when I thpoke to hith agent yethderday, he wath thure we would bee able to book him for the thow."
"That's great," I said. "I can't beelieve we're getting such a huge star to bee in our production."
"It'th all about who you know in thith buthineth," Rudy said.
Anyway, Rudy left the list with me and asked if I'd make sure everybody on the list signed a contract to do the show, then he told me he was tired and needed to go get some rest beefore he had to deal with another, difficult day's worth of Pollen Gathering.
"I need to go get thome thleep. I'm exthauthted," he said, "tho I'll thee you later."
Then he left.
Today, I'm gonna finish going over the list for the musical talent, make sure they've all signed the necessary contracts and Waivers of Liability, then I'm gonna spend the rest of the day enjoying the rest of the day.
I hope everybody has an unprecedentedly fun day! I'll bee back tomorrow with this week's "Dear Georgie" letter! I'll see ya' then!
