I would like to have written Trenet's "La Mer", Massenet's Meditation from "Thais", Sondheim's "Not A Day Goes By', Newman's "I Think It's Gonna Rain Today" and Simon's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "Train In The Distance".

Merrily We Roll Along & Being Alive

Don't Be Cruel

First Piano Concerto in B-Flat Minor

Good morning, all! Back to Barnes & Noble today, and I hope it goes well. There's rain predicted for Manhattan, so we may have a store with slippery floors, as well as several maintenance folk with mops, today. If anyone falls, I hope I'm not the one.

I spent the afternon yesterday taping five hours of Wheeler and Wolsey and the Ritz Brothers for DRRodzinski while I worked at my desk. It was a pleasantly uneventful day.

TOD:
The Act Two Quintet, if not all, of CARMEN, which is the most inventive and fantastic score not by Mozart (I could never be in his league).
Since I started with an opera, here are a few scores I wish I'd written:
THE SLEEPING BEAUTY ballet (Tchaikovsky)
Ravel's Introduction & Allegro for Harp, Flute, Clarinet & Strings
THE THREEPENNY OPERA (Weill)
PETER AND THE WOLF (Prokofiev)
ALBERT HERRING (Britten)
The Enigma Variations (especially "Nimrod") (Elgar)
THE MIKADO (Gilbert/Sullivan)

Musicals:
SHOWBOAT
OKLAHOMA!
THE GOLDEN APPLE
BABES IN TOYLAND
SITTING PRETTY
FOLLIES
KISS ME, KATE

Songs:
Old Friend (Cryer & Ford)
Long ago And Far Away (Gershwin/Kern)
Four Strong Winds (Ian Tyson)
Good Night, Irene (Leadbelly)
Begin the Beguine (Porter)
On the Street Where You Live (Lerner/Lowe)
I Can't Get Started (Gershwin/Duke)
Here, There, and Everywhere (The Beatles)
If You Could Read My Mind (Gordon Lightfoot)
Disneyland (Ashman/Hamlisch)
New Words (Yeston)
And around 1,000,000 others!

Not being a songwriter, I think writing any song would be a miracle, and I have such deep regard for those who are talented enough to do it well.

One song - "I Remember" from EVENING PRIMROSE

One score - FOLLIES

classical music entry - "Claire de Lune"

I have been up since almost 6:30 this morning. Just couldn't sleep any more. I have read the daily paper, VARIETY, and done my internet surfing. I think I am now ready to begin my movie marathon day.

Starting with THE STEPFORD WIVES.

I'll be back at regular intervals with reports on the marathon.

Hi all. Boy, did our days mirror each other, DR Ginny. I also had the day from H E double toothpicks at work yesterday AND I had a bag Star Wars Dark Chocolate M & M’s on my desk (and in my tummy) as well.

I don’t know folks. My job has changed much in the past couple of months and not for the better. I’m honestly starting to have a really tough time getting out bed to go to it in the morning.

A bright note, I heard on the bus tonight that we WON and they will NOT be changing the route. I guess getting the County Commissioners onto their tail helped out a great deal. I still need to see the official announcement to be sure but it sounds good. At least that’s one worry off of my mind.

My Mom has been complaining about her back hurting her so tonight I loaned her my memory foam pad to sleep on. She can’t get over how comfortable she is. If she had listened to me when I first told her about how wonderful the memory foam pad is, she wouldn’t have been in so much pain. But, far be it for me to say I told you so.

I’m going to buy another one to put back on my bed today because I did not sleep so well last night. I’m stiff and my neck hurts.

I also want to add that I would love more pictures from OZ and everywhere else for that matter. I like seeing other DR’s world.

Speaking of pictures, I am working on doing another avitar. Just haven't had time to sit down and do anything. I LOVE yours, DR Jose. Great job!

DR VixMom, have you seen this?

http://www.carryatune.com/default.aspx

I don’t know how good it is but have considered buying it myself. If I do, I will let you know what I think of it. I thought it might help the Vixter.

Gotta go. I need to take the dogs for their walk then do the weekly grocery shopping. I hope to be back this evening.

Have a GREAT day all!

I'm up, I'm up. My internal clock went off a little earlier than I wanted, which was eight. That's fine, but I am groggy as all get out and I think we all know how groggy get out is.

TERPSICHOREAN!

I wish I'd written Rachmaninov's Symphony Number Two, Third Movement
Faure's Pavane for a Dead Princess

songs I wish I'd written

the score of Li'l Abner
The Party's Over
Some People
Almost all the songs on the new Guy Haines album
Here You Come Again
The Road You Didn't Take
Now I Have Everything
Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most
My Heart is So Full of You
Once in a Lifetime
I Can See It
The Mooch
and many more

Movie score: To Kill a Mockingbird

I'm depending on all of you to keep the home fries burning until my returning and ten posts will not, I repeat, will NOT cut the mustard. it won't even cut the ketchup or the catsup, nor will it cut the mayonnaise.

Wow, it is 8:30 am and I am the only one here! Everyone must be off watching the Ritz Bros. You know I talked to a lady who worked with the Ritz Bros. in a movie...she didn't like them! LOL!

I must now shower and eat and hie myself to the south of Salem to see a couple of estate sales!

Begin rant:

Just read that Sir John Mills passed away at ninety-three. Of course, one of the relatively young'uns at another board posted it and his one-word post was: Sad. Now, this fellow probably scours the obits every day so he can post these things. Was he a huge fan of Mr. Mills? Doubtful. But, that's not the point - it's the "sad" business. Mr. Mills died at ninety-three, a ripe old age. Other than family members, all we should be saying is, "Wow, what a life!" I'm can't say "sad" - I didn't know the man, and he didn't die too young. But I can say we should celebrate him as a good actor, good human (from all I've heard), good husband (looooong successful marriage to Mary Hayley Bell) and daddy to two beautiful daughters, Juliet and Hayley.

Sad?

End rant.

What am I, doing a monolog?

I can see Miss Tammy Minoff is online (on my buddy list). She's supposed to be here by ten after nine. From where she is that should take between ten and fifteen minutes. I should think she'd better get crackin' pretty soonish.

bk · « **Reply #20 on:** April 23, 2005, 09:04:00 AM »

Well, I shall be on my way to the Ray Courts show. Hopefully, this dreadful morning errant and truantness will abate and there will be scads and scads of posts to come home to - at least five hundred.

Maybe Techno-Tammy can figure out how to get me online on my cell phone, and we'll see if there's any way to post. Wouldn't that just be too too?

To day is "Get Rid of the Crap" Day here. I'm going through my house room-by-room looking for clutter and junk that I've been saving for some reason or another but that I have't touched in over a year.

Boxes! Why in heck do I save the box from just about everything I buy? A few quick slices of my handy utility knife has been reducing them to stacks of cardboard but it seems endless.

I am also making a potential eBay pile. Small things, like CDs and toys, that I think will be easy to ship. Any advice out there for a first time eBay seller?

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #24 on:** April 23, 2005, 09:24:22 AM »

Alas, I will not be able to attend the Ray Courts show today to play with Mr. Kimmel and Ms. Minoff. I have to do a screenwriting panel this afternoon. Hopefully, I will get to the show tomorrow.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #25 on:** April 23, 2005, 09:27:21 AM »

Dan (the man), I love "get rid of crap" days. I need to do one. Know anyone who needs about five boxes of old Playboys. The dealers don't want them. They'll actually from about 2000 on, but oddly enough the older one...which I would have thought the rarer ones from the seventies...they could care about. I've already just pitched the old Men's Health and WGA magazines.

Just read that John Mills passed away at 97. Some of his great performances:

In Which We Serve
Great Expectations
Scott of the Antarctic
Tunes of Glory
Tiger Bay
The Wrong Box
Ryan's Daughter

Matt H. · « **Reply #27 on:** April 23, 2005, 10:23:28 AM »

Yep, John Mills had a great life with many highlights. Loved him in GREAT EXPECTATIONS and HOBSON'S CHOICE among dozens of other fantastic pictures and performances.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #28 on:** April 23, 2005, 10:25:39 AM »

I have to agree with BK. Sir John lived a full and dynamic life and left a body of good work. There is nothing sad about passing away at 97.

Noel Coward to Clifton Webb, when Webb was inconsolable at his mother's death. "There, there, dear boy, there are worse things than being an orphan at 65."

Matt H. · « **Reply #29 on:** April 23, 2005, 10:25:43 AM »

I've completed the first two movies in my movie marathon today.

THE STEPFORD WIVES (remake). It has some moments of humor, moments of satire, even a jolt or two, but I don't think it made the most of any of these potentials. It does have LOTS of fun performances including Kidman's, Roger Bart's, and Bette Midler's, but the movie for me belongs to Glenn Close who just towers over everyone else. She's REALLY believable as a Steford Wife, and I mean that in the BEST way possible.
