"AS TRUE AS THE DAY IS LONG"

Well, dear readers, you won’t believe it. I could barely believe it myself and yet it is true as the day is long and let me tell you the day is going to be long. I woke up at eight o’clock this morning and it was nine o’clock. Say what? Yes, you heard it here, dear readers, I woke up at eight o’clock and it was nine o’clock and that is because of the miracle known as Daylight Savings Time. Why, if someone hadn’t reminded me late last night I would have totally been in the dark. But since it was an hour later I was totally in the light because the dark is now an hour earlier. Ah, the conundrum of time. In any case, directly after I write these here notes I must reset the clocks which don’t reset themselves. In any case, that is why these here notes are going up a little late on this fine Sunday.
Yesterday I attended the Ray Courts Memorabilia Show and what fun it was. I saw many friends, some of whom I hadn’t seen in over twenty years. My first stop was at Betty Garrett’s table, and we chatted for a bit and she was as delightful as always. Then, next to her, I said hello to my old friend Candy Clark. At one time in the early seventies, Candy and most of the cast of American Grafitti, and myself, were all represented by the same manager, Pat McQueeney. Years later, Ms. McQueeney decided to limit herself to just one client from that film and sadly we all had to find different management – that client, of course, was/is Harrison Ford. Next to Candy was Mackenzie Phillips, who I hadn’t seen since heaven-knows-when. She had too many people around her, so I decided to come back. I cruised around the room and saw Dennis Weaver, Warren Berlinger, Jay North, and various and sundried others. And then, I saw this humungous line and I walked over to see which big star they’d nabbed (this was next to the humungous line for Dennis Weaver). Well, it was Miss Hayley Mills and her sister Miss Juliet Mills. Hayley looked terrific, but there was simply no way to get to her and say hello. Also there was Miss Janet Leigh. I ran into my old friend Mr. John Volstadt, who used to play one of the Darrels on Bob Newhart. I first met John in the early seventies when he was working at Aron’s Records. A year later he was understudying me in Forget-Me-Not Lane at the Mark Taper Forum, and then he got the Newhart show. We spoke for quite some time and caught up, and I met his delightful eleven-year-old son, Christian – we hit it off right away, and when I told him I was going to say hello to Mackenzie he asked if he could tag along because he loves her from the Disney show, Something Weird. So, we went over to Mackenzie, who finally had no people around her. I looked at her and she looked at me and I said, “Do you remember me, yes or no?” And she said, “I remember the face” and then I told her who I was and she leaped up and we had a nice big hug and we laughed and recalled some fond memories of some wacky times the two of us had when she was a mere sixteen and I was a mere. Get your minds out of the gutter, dear readers, it was platonic and it was a lot of fun. I introduced her to Christian and she was very sweet to him. I also saw many dealer friends and looked at their wares. One dealer had an original large French poster for The Red Balloon, a short film I adore – a very rare poster as posters were rarely done for short films. He also had a small French poster for my new favorite Le Samourai, so we may be doing a little trading today. In any case, I had a swell time.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below so I can tell you what I did last night.

First of all, don’t forget Donald has a brand spanking new radio show up today, and our Unseemly Live Chat is tomorrow evening at six o’clock Pacific Mean Time Daylight Savings Time. Be there or be round, that’s what I say.
Last night, a friend of mine was screening a motion picture entitled Daredevil, with Mr. Ben Affleck. Did this film disappear without a trace, because I’d never even heard of it – even though it had come out just over a month or so ago. If it didn’t disappear without a trace it should have. What a horrid movie – mind numbingly awful and inept in every way (although one of the second bananas got a few laughs). First of all there’s Ben Affleck who is just a bore – he has no character or personality at all, he just stands there like so much fish and somehow someone has designated him as someone who can star in movies. I know they were hoping for another Spiderman, but they most certainly didn’t get it. Spiderman at least had a nice love story – here they try it, but the girl is not to my liking. I’d never seen her before (Jennifer Garner) and I found her charmless and not a very good actress. Probably not her fault, given the wretched character she had to play and the wretched lines she had to speak. It was all very somber, and I hated the two villains, Mr. King Pin and Mr. Bullseye (played by the yucky Colin Ferrell). I don’t know, there’s something wrong with a superhero film in which the superhero gets his butt cheeks kicked by just about everyone in the movie, including Jennifer Garner. Oh, he wins, but only after having his butt cheeks kicked and usually someone coming along to help.
What am I, Ebert and Roeper all of a sudden? Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must relax, reset my clocks and do a plethora of things. Today’s topic of discussion: It’s free-for-all day, the day in which you get to talk about anything your collective hearts desire. Now, I want to see interesting topics so I can chime in with my reset clock. I shall be checking in often so post away, my pretties.

Yesterday, Jose asked,
"-Anyone know how to tell a drummer is knocking on your door?"
A couple of possible answers:
A. He doesn't know when to come in.
or...
A. The knocking keeps speeding up and slowing down.
I'm a drummer myself, so I've heard them all...
BTW, I saw TOMMY the other night, and it was a decent production of a really weak show. All of my friends said the same thing: "It was well done and all, but I still didn't like it. Weak book, little variation in the score. Makes for a nice concert, but not much of a show."
And for those who read the review of this production I posted the other day, the show did NOT come anywhere near meeting the expectations raised by the review. One suspects that the critic is on the payroll of the company staging the show. No other way to explain it...

What a great lot of fun you had yesterday, Mr. BK! All those OTHER stars as well. The Mills girls...I hope they brought a big box to take home their cash.
And how was Mr Warren Berlinger? He is a favorite of mine. From Blue Denim and other things. Of course, I was a bit disappointed in BILLIE when Patty Duke's boyfriend was played by WB instead Eddie Applegate from her TV show, but we survived!
Sunday....going to open the barn theatre today...oh my...hope lots of workers show up to help!
Posted by Jrand52 @ 04/06/2003 09:48 AM PST

We saw NYCO's CARMEN last night and enjoyed it, although Act 2 draggeds a little. It's the first time I've been to an opera with supertitles and they definitely make it much easier to follow. Since I am not an opera expert I won't comment except to ask the question do opera curtain calls always feature only the leads? The whole cast deserved to take a bow but of the cast of 50 or 60 there were only 6 people who got curtain calls.
While at Lincoln Center we took in the exhibit at the library called ORIGINAL CAST ALBUMS. 2 of BK's albums are included, both in the "Plays Recorded" section: COPENHAGEN and BEYOND THERAPY. While it was nice to see 2 BK CDs, where were any of the musical ones? I mentioned it in the book for comments. The most frightening thing is to see how many of the albums on display I have in my collection... either in the original LP or on CD. It's a good exhibit, the price is right (free) and should be seen if you are in NY. It runs a couple of more months.

Just finished listening to Cass Elliott's Greatest Hits lp, MAMA'S BIG ONES. What a wonderful voice she had; so sad that she never realized her dream of appearing in a Broadway musical. A loss for us all.
Jrand: where is your barn theatre? Is it really yours? I have thousands of great (and some not-so) of working in the long defunct Macomb Theatre-at-the-Barn in Mt. Clemens, MI back in the 70s. Did some good shows, some bad ones, had some delightful encounters with interesting people, and even met my ex-wife, The Thing, there. When I see a barn, I think theatre.

Drumm...better than seeing a barn and thinking horses. Click on my name for our website but watch out for popups.
Not much doing there right now since we are revamping the site....but some pictures and stories.
Posted by Jrand52 @ 04/06/2003 10:40 AM PST

I, for one, need more description about what Ray Court's Memorabilia Show is all about.
I understood about the fellow with posters. Been to conventions where salesmen were willing to trade or deal their wares.
But what was with the tables of celebs? Are they there to sell their autographs or to be paid to have photos taken with them?
Or do they have selections of photos from their films or headshots which they autograph for a fee?
I'm only asking...nothing more.
Could folks bring in their own memorabiliia and have the celebrities autograph that? Like if I had a really great lobby card from "Words and Music," Miss Betty Garrett could be imposed upon to autograph it?
Watched "The Madness of King George" on DVD last night. Lots of fun. Bought it as a "cut out" for $10.
Also watched the SuperBit DVD of "Heavy Metal" -- it was like I'd never seen the film before -- Elmer Bernstein's score really comes through in this DTS presentation. I have no illusions that they did anything special to restore the film, though. But it seemed pretty clean. (They released "From Here to Eterntiy" but didn't restore it to pristine condition, so older films from SuperBit are to be regarded with suspicion).

Free-for-all Day!
First, let me extend a willing welcome to our wonderful Drumm! It's so nice to see an old friend here at HainesHisWay - - finally!
And, why, you might ask is Drumm so wonderful? Well, I must tell you that Drumm is the man who connected me up with the graphic novel writings of Mr. Neil Gaiman. I loved Gaiman's NEVERWHERE, and since he had hardly any other works out there that I knew of, Drumm sent my way THE SANDMAN graphic novels of Mr. Gaiman. I devoured each and everyone of them with relish. And of course, the writings of Mr. Gaiman led me to the terrifically satiric writings of a certain Terry Pratchett, whose DISC WORLD novels I read over and over again!
So, Bill - -er, Drumm: WELCOME TO THE JIGGIEST SITE ON THE WWW!
I won't take up too much space right now, but I wanted to say that I went HDTV on Friday! Holy Merde! I'm stunned! I sit here mouth gaping at what the HDTV screen can do! I'm not really a techno-geek, but, I do love my movies! I haven't even sat and watched an entire movie yet, still doing some tweaking, with the exception late last night of THE BIRDS, which I just couldn't turn away from. . .

Posted by François @ 04/06/2003 11:54 AM PST

First oi all, is that nostalgia show the kind where you have to PAY for each autograph or does the admission fee cover that? I know you have to pay for CDs, books etc., but is this one where even autographs are for sale?
Speaking of Barn Theatres, I spent the best summer of my life at the New London Barn Playhouse in New London, New Hampshire in 1961, a theatre that is will be having its 70th season this summer, under the direction of Norman Leger for over fifty of them. My summer we did ten shows in ten weeks but now they do most shows for two weeks. It's non-Equity, but so many people got their start there... Oscar winner Sandy Dennis, composer Stephen Schwartz, porn stat Calvin Culver, agent to trash celebrities Sherry Spilaine, original COMPANY Star Pam Meyers, Broadway singer Juliet Lambert, and so many more. Is anyone reading this familiar with the NLBP?
Posted by William E. Lurie @ 04/06/2003 12:15 PM PST

Jrand: Thanks for the link to your barn theatre! It sounds swell, and made me very nostalgic. However, in the credit-where-credit-is-due dept, someone switched the names for GYPSY's lyricist and composer -- 'twas Sondheim wrote the lyrics, and Jule Styne was the composer. I wish you and the company all the best for SOUTH PACIFIC!
td: Well, ol' pal, your gushing's got me blushing! Thanks. For all the kind words, and for turning ME on to the wonderful novels of Mr. (or Senor, rather) Arturo Perez-Reverte. If anyone here is as thrilled and delighted with highly literate, densely plotted, extremely intelligent mysteries of the European variety, Senor P-R may be your man. Only five of his books have been translated into English, but they're wonderful, and I can't recommend them enough.
Oh, and td, you really shouldn't read books with relish: stains the pages, dontcha know?

Jennifer Garner is also the lead actress in the television series "Alias." It's one of my ever-lovin' der Brucer's favorite shows. The storyline is so convoluted that it takes a full season to figure out what's going on, by which time everything and everyone has swung around in a 360 degree turnaround so you have to refigure eveything all over again. Exactly the sort of show der Brucer loves.
She wears clothes well.

Re: Trading Spaces from last night.
I HATED Kia's room. Hate, hate, hate. I don't like light green walls. I don't like seashell headboards. I don't like the wallpaper that she hangs across the room (the 4 inch kind you put along the ceiling that goes around the room). I can't believe that couple liked their room.
I did really like hildy's room. I love light blue. I liked the mural she made. I like the special fancy brick floor. But the room was too sparse. She needed to add more.
Posted by Jennifer @ 04/06/2003 01:38 PM PST

For those who asked, here's how the Courts show works: You pay $10 to get in - that gives you access to the main celebrity room and five dealers rooms. You may bring your own items for the celebs to sign but they will charge you for each and every item. They also have photos and other assorted memorabilia that you can purchase. If it's a celeb like Hayley or Dennis Weaver, they can easily make between 5 and 10K in one day. The lines yesterday for Hayley and Dennis were huge. Today, Sunday, it's always easier, very few lines and you might actually get to chat for a minute or two.

Posted by Tom from Oz @ 04/06/2003 02:46 PM PST

Sorry not to have been around for the last few days, but I've had a house full of out-of-town guests, and they just left today.
Don't ever believe newspaper movie reviews. Almost every review I read of STUART LITTLE 2 said it was better than the original. No way. Watched it last night, and kept nodding off. Give me the original any day.
I wish I could see that exhibit at the Lincoln Center Library. I've been collecting cast albums for many years, and would love to see stuff I don't have.
When Jennifer garner won a Golden Globe award for ALIAS, she joked that she always thought she was great in DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR? but getting an award for ALIAS exceeded her wildest dreams. So, those fans of hers might want to look for her in that magnum opus. I saw it on HBO, and needed immediate repair surgery on my brain.
Posted by Matt H. @ 04/06/2003 02:56 PM PST

By "Give me the original," do you mean the first film or the book it was based upon? Just checking.
Posted by S. Woody (no relation to E. B.) White @ 04/06/2003 03:38 PM PST

I rented 2 DVDs last night: Road To Perdition (a giant yawn, slower than sludge) and Secretary
(Aces! Had already seen it at the flix), then polished off the evening with Kissing Jessica Stein (funny, funny, funny!).
Love Liza (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) has opened here, a Sundance winner. Has anyone seen it yet? The reviews range from great-to-middlin'.
Back to my spring cleaning; I want my hour back!

Oh yes, Drumm, I know the GYPSY credits were switched...hopefully they will be corrected, but then again...maybe not.

I know it was 4 years ago did Brad Ellis (arranger for many albums)have a heart transplant?
Posted by Michael Shayne @ 04/06/2003 05:07 PM PST

I love Jennifer Garner, although I didn't think DareDevil was too good (I think it came out Valentine's weekend). She is totally awesome on Alias (I love love that show). Yes, it's a bit difficult to follow unless you watch it every week. But I like to use my mind when I watch tv!
Also, for the people who think TOMMY isn't a good show. I love TOMMY. Saw it in Toronto and had an absolutely wonderful time.
Is that chat tomorrow? I'm mixed up.
Posted by Jennifer @ 04/06/2003 05:08 PM PST

I loved the show TOMMY as well, saw it in New York - but having grown up with the record, I was VERY disappointed at the changes in the ending.
Posted by Jrand52 @ 04/06/2003 05:23 PM PST

TOMMY (like JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR) is great on the original recor but should never have been staged or filmed. I love the original recordings of these two works, but trying to dramatize either one was a big mistake.

Jennifer chat is Monday this week.

Jrand: Cynthia was doing okay. We'd done a show last year in Las Vegas, and she was delightful.
Michael: Yes, Brad did have a heart transplant - soon after finishing work on The Burt Bacharach Album. Someday I'll tell an amusing story that both Brad and I love telling.
Posted by bk @ 04/06/2003 06:13 PM PST

Posted by Jrand52 @ 04/06/2003 06:17 PM PST

Yes, I have been errant and truant. I am deeply sorry. I must now go back and read all the posts I've missed.
Posted by Kerry @ 04/06/2003 07:01 PM PST

Speaking of TOMMY, I never saw the show, however I thought the movie was very well done, though not as good as what could have been envisioned from the original album. On that note, I should point out that I absolutely love QUADROPHENIA, another film based on a Who concept album. Also, does anyone else here feel (as I do)that both PSYCHODERELICT and THE IRON MAN - 2 concept albums by Pete Townsend - should get the full theatrical treatment?

Hello everyone!
The new Broadway Radio Show is up and running -- "April In Paris"
Next week will be one of our funny cover version shows, as David Levy joins me via telephone and then the following week will be our very first Arbor Day special, and, of course, everyone's favorite holiday homo, Michael Betts will be here for that one.
Enjoy!
Posted by Donald Feltham @ 04/06/2003 07:36 PM PST

Hey, S. Woody (not E. B. ) White!
I meant liking the original movie more than the sequel. Of course, the book was wonderful, but I'm relying on a more than 30 year old memory. I read it in a kiddie lit class I took many eons ago.
Posted by Matt H. @ 04/06/2003 08:26 PM PST

I (fortunately) woke up early enough this morning to listen to Donald's Maury Yeston radio show before he switched over to the "April In Paris" show. I'll listen to that later. I then made a couple of compilation CDs for myself, after which I went to my sister's to help her reset ALL of her clocks. We then moved a tall particleboard cabinet from the front of her garage to the back of her garage. As I was driving home (it was about 7:30 by now), I thought to myself, "OH NO!! I MISSED THE HHW CHAT!!" When I got back home and re-read Bruce's first paragraph (after clicking the Unseemly Button), I was much relieved to find out that I didn't miss the chat...it's "Tomorrow night, tomorrow night" (a Yentl reference).
Speaking of Bruce, I just won (on eBay-actually, I was the only bidder) a copy of what one reader wrote on imdb.com, "Could be the worst movie ever..." RACQUET. I went to brucekimmel.com to find out more about it, and it isn't even listed there. I know it's not "Ask BK Day" but is this just an oversight or a deliberate attempt to forget this movie? I did an unseemly search for "Racquet" and found a few (only a few) mentions here on HHW. Bruce does not seem to disagree with the imdb.com reviewer.
Posted by George @ 04/06/2003 08:59 PM PST

Dear Reader Jason -- any word on the auditions yet?
Dear Reader Dave -- same question.

I am forgotten, but not gone.
Lax as I have been this last week in reading the posts on this here most popular site on the Internet, I did pick up Newsday on my way to work, just to read the story on our own, our very own Donald Felthem, "42, an administrator at a Los Angeles law firm who also has an Internet talk show about Broadway."
Oh, and incidentally, the story is also about JetBlue Airlines.
Unfortunately, Newsday did not see fit to publish a photograph of Donald with his well-known "killer smile", but printed instead a picture of JetBlue CEO David Neelemen. Da noive!
Congratulations to Donald, and may JetBlue reward him with thousands of free miles to visit us New Yorkers.
Click on my name for the complete story.
Posted by William F. Orr @ 04/07/2003 04:26 AM PST

Thanks for the link, Bill. Mainstream media attention is always gratifying...but there was just too much information about the airline! We want more information about the Wright Bros Musical! Maybe that should have been a sidebar.
Posted by Jrand52 @ 04/07/2003 05:56 AM PST

Sorry for being errant and truant yesterday/Sunday. I had a friend in from out of town, and I also had first orchestra tech last night.
My friend, Kevin, got in late Saturday night, and we had a good time this weekend - well, at least on Sunday. I took him to brunch at my favorite place around the corner, and since Sunday was/is my "splurge day", I had the home fries! We then walked around Carytown for a bit and did some window shopping - as well as some small knick-knack shopping. It was a nice sunny day, a little cool, but there was a slight "smell" in the air from the mulch and manure they were putting down for the new trees they will be planting. Then came the tech...
The tech went well. No major trainwrecks. For me, it was just more than a little weird - the sound equipment was not fully set up yet, so I played last night's show with no video camera to conduct the cast (I'm behind them), and no monitors for me and the rest of the band. But we all managed to stay together. Hopefully, all the sound issues will be resolved to tonight.
Then came this morning... And the rain! Unfortunately, my friend, Kevin, also had to drive back to NYC in the rain, and I just hope he'll get in before the major snow(!) starts up in the city. What a crazy winter/early spring we're having.
On a sad note, it was quite a shock waking up this morning and finding out about the death of NBC Today Show anchor and news correspondent, David Bloom. He was covering the news in Iraq, and died of a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot. The Today Show had some nice tributes this morning, and my condolences to his colleagues and, most of all, his family.
Posted by Jose C. Simbulan @ 04/07/2003 06:57 AM PST

OH! And we managed to get into Krispy Kreme last night before they closed the "lobby" area, and got some Hot Ones!! -And I also tried the new Chocolate Malted Creme Filled donut. YUM! Total overkill, but worth it!
Posted by Jose C. Simbulan @ 04/07/2003 07:01 AM PST

Oh, and Dave... My usual answer is:
"The knocking keeps speeding up."
And I usually use the answer, "He doesn't know when to come in." for: "How do you know a singer is at your door?"
And could you refresh my memory as to what jobs you're waiting on? Just curious.
Posted by Jose C. Simbulan @ 04/07/2003 07:14 AM PST

Jose,
I usually use the "doesn't know when to come in" response for sopranos and/or tenors, since they tend to be the worst culprits, but I have heard it used for just about everything.
I'm not so much waiting on a job as auditioning for an amateur production of FOREVER PLAID. The turnout for auditions has been very disappointing, so I have been trying to drum up interest among some of my friends and acquaintances. I have just gotten news of a few good men who might be coming to audition on Wednesday. If those guys show up, there will be enough talented men to do the show with or without me.
I am submitting a proposal to direct a show this year, and I have a very strong chance of being approved, IMO. If it comes to making a choice, I will choose to direct my own show, rather than perform in PLAID.
I do plan to audition next month for a production of RAGTIME that goes up in the Fall. That should be amazing!
