Well, dear readers, not only will she of the Evil Eye be here shortly but I of the I Eye must leave in but a moment to head over to the Ray Courts Hollywood Collector’s Showcase show. So, I shall keep these here notes short and sweet, sort of the Saturday Cliff’s Notes, whoever the hell he is.
Yesterday we did the vocals of Miss Katherine Helmond, who was absolutely delightful to work with. I think she was very nervous (she’d never done a music recording session before) but I think she ended up having a great time. She told us stories of her recent workshop doing the musical of Harold and Maude, and also stories of working with the quite daffy Mr. Terry Gilliam (with whom she’d done three films). Then Michelle Nicastro came and did her three vocals (doing an Andrews Sisters song). Our very own dear reader Jose did the vocal arrangement and it worked out very well, and Michelle nailed all three parts more quickly than we could have imagined. So, next Monday it’s Jason Graae and the vocals will be complete.
Our very own Susan Gordon and I had an early supper and then I did some stuff and went to bed earlier than usual. My goodness what a dry little paragraph this is. Then I did this, then I did that, then this happened, then that happened, where is the style, where is the humor, where is the tension, where is the drama, where is the fershluganah period so I can end this fershluganah sentence?
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because really I simply must get a move on.
Don’t forget to check on Juliana’s Journal as I think there will be a new installment tomorrow and then they will be fairly regular from then on. Also, Donald will have a brand spanking new radio show up so check that out as well, and if you haven’t yet, go peruse the new Unseemly Interview with Miss Christianne Tisdale or Tizzy as we like to call her.
Also, this week’s Unseemly Live Chat is tomorrow at six o’clock Pacific Mean Daylight Savings Time so be there or be round.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must go hither and thither and then yon to North Hollywood where I will sit all the livelong day and hopefully sell some books and DVDs. I will, of course, have a full report for you and maybe, just maybe, some photos. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too? Today’s topic of discussion: Since we were having quite a lively discussion regarding movie musicals yesterday, and even though we’ve done this topic quite some time ago, I think we have enough new dear readers to warrant revisiting it, oh, yes, I think we shall revisit it right this very minute. What are your favorite movie musicals and why, and what are the worst movie musicals you’ve ever seen and why do you think they’re bad? I’ll start (but sans the “why” because I must fly) – favorites, Singin’ in the Rain, The Music Man, Swing Time, The Band Wagon, The Sound of Music, West Side Story – I’ll let you all fill in the rest. Worst, Dr. Dolittle, Lost Horizon (although I like most of the score), Man of La Mancha, Grease 2, and I’ll let you fill in the rest. I do hope there will be lots and lots of posts for me to peruse upon my return home.
