Well, dear readers, by the time you’re reading these here notes I will be winging my way to New York, New York to record the first CD I’ve produced since October of 2001. I’m really looking forward to it most especially because we’ve got such a stellar cast of players. For those who haven’t been following along, we’ve got the likes of Brent Barrett, Judy Kaye, Rebecca Luker, Katherine Helmond, Tammi Tappan, Sharon McNight, Lynnette Perry, Remy Zaken, Theresa Finamore, Juliana A. Hansen, Susan Gordon, Michelle Nicastro, Alison Fraser, Christiane Noll and a few surprises. If that’s not a lineup I don’t know what is.
We’ll be having our Hainsies/Kimlets get-together on Sunday night, and I’ll be seeing Hairspray mere hours after my arrival. I will keep you up-to-date on all the happening happenings.
Last night I watched an early seventies television movie (yes, Virginia, from the beloved ABC Movie of the Week which had Bacharach’s Nikki as its theme song) entitled A Cold Night’s Death. I had/have vivid memories of it being a terrific little programmer and by gum and by golly if it still isn’t, all these years later. They wouldn’t know how to make this type of TV movie today if their life depended on it. It’s got terrific performances from Robert Culp and Eli Wallich, suspenseful direction by Jerrold Freedman, and a nifty electronic score by Mr. Gil Melle. I’d love to get my hands on some of the others from this series – especially Isn’t it Shocking? with Alan Alda and Louise Lasser (directed by John Badham), Dr. Cook’s Garden (by Ira Levin), the Michael Crichton TV movie that I can never remember the name of (with E.G. Marshall, I think), A Strange and Deadly Occurance with Vera Miles and my pal Margaret Willock, Incident at San Francisco, with David Opatashu and Richard Kiley, and a few others.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because I do believe I’ve got a flight to catch.
Don’t forget, the new Unseemly Interview with Seth Rudetsky is up and running, so check it out.
Can you believe it’s the last day of May? I mean, tomorrow will be June, June, June, and summer will be upon us. I cannot comprehend how fast the first six months of this year have gone by. Well, let’s have lots of posts today and send May off with a bang and a half.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do – I hate to cut these here notes so short, but a car will be arriving to take me to the Long Beach airport and I must be ready. Today’s topic of discussion: Have you ever been told that you resemble a celebrity and, if so, who. Also, what are your all-time favorite television movies? Post away, my pretties, and I’ll check in as soon as I arrive in New York, New York.
