THE SPECIAL TREAT

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, we had a lively and sparkling chat last night. The joint was jumpin’ and everything under the sun was discussed and it was jovial and amusing. Now, for those who missed it and for those who were there – we have a special treat this evening (or late afternoon, depending on where you are). Yes, you heard it here, dear readers, we have a special treat this evening right here at haineshisway.com. What is this special treat you might ask and I might tell you because if I don’t then how on earth will you know what the special treat is? The special treat is a very special surprise Unseemly Live Question and Answer Chat with our very own Miss Melissa Errico. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too? I’m still deciding exactly how this will work, but in the meantime here are the basic rules for the chat, because if we don’t have basic rules for the chat it will be totally unorganized and we cannot have that, oh, no, we cannot have that. So, the live chat will begin promptly at five o’clock Pacific Mean Time. I would like everyone who’d like to participate in the room ten minutes early at four-fifty. When Miss Errico arrives I will begin by chatting with her for a moment, and then I will open the floor to questions. If the floor doesn’t have any questions then I will ask you dear readers for questions. I will name a dear reader, and then that dear reader may ask their question. Once Melissa has answered, I will then call on the next dear reader, and so forth and so on, and also so on and so forth. Very simple, really, and it should work just fine and dandy. So, tell everyone, tell your friends, tell your neighbors, tell the man in the street and the woman in the window, because we are going to have a swellegant time. I will post additional information during the day, so check the posts. Now, your job, of course, is to think of some excellent questions for Miss Errico – about her career, her shows, her albums, etc. I think she’ll probably have interesting things to say about Amour, so we should have some Amour questions. Keep them fun and informative. I cannot wait.

If you haven’t seen it yet, do check out our faaaabulous Unseemly Interview with our very own Nick Redman. It’s quite refreshing and Mr. Redman tells all. Yesterday, I happen to run into our very own Michelle Nicastro at Gelson’s market. She looked lovely as ever and we had a very nice chat, and she’s going to be our very next Unseemly Interview.

Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because frankly there’s just been too too much excitement in this section.

Yesterday, I received the galley on my book. Given the horrors of trying to get the galley right on the first book, I’m happy to report that this one is already eighty percent there, and it will probably only take one more pass to get it just right. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too? It’s so nice to see it properly formatted and laid out, and I also saw the cover layout which looks splendidly splendid.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must go hither and thither in an effort to get somewhere, I must do research and have phone conversations and I must also eat various and sundried foodstuffs. And then we shall have our very first Unseemly Question and Answer Live Chat with Melissa Errico. I’m telling you, soon we will be the most popular site on all the Internet. Today’s topic of discussion: Continuing down memory lane with our film composers – what are your five (or more) favorite scores of Mr. Jerry Goldsmith. I’ll start – I think Jerry is amazing, although I haven’t really liked much of his recent output. But in his heyday there was no one more innovative or more interesting. So, without further ado – A Patch of Blue, Seconds, The Sand Pebbles, Islands in the Stream and The List of Adrian Messenger. A couple of odd choices, probably, but they are ones I dearly love. But I do have to mention The Trouble With Angels, Capricorn One, and his unbelievably wonderful theme from Dr. Kildare (Three Stars Will Shine Tonight), not to mention his marvelous Omen scores. Your turn, and check back for more information on tonight’s chat.
