I wonder if Szell ever used Excel?

Time will tell. Or William Tell. Hell.

Good night, all.

Finished with my viewing. Listening to Szell/Casadesus do Mozart piano concertos, then it's on to the Schumann symphonies, which I don't really have to listen to since I have them by Szell on SACD - just want to hear if the mastering is better there.

DR John I am wearing my Luckenback sweatshirt today. Have you been to concerts there?

I have driven through there many times but I haven’t had the occasion to stop there yet.

There isn't much to see but we had fun just being there.

Thanks for all the patented HHW vibes.

The presentation was exactly 45 minutes, and I think it went well. All the embedded videos played as they were supposed to. People seemed receptive.

Very good.

I was very fortunate that I just had not taken a lot of vacation over the past few years, and had a lot of banked days between vacation and sick time. Even with all of the time I have taken off over the past 3 to 4 months, I think I still have about 30 days in reserve.

Vibes you don't need to use it up for more sick leave.

Finished project one - lots of futzing and finessing to do and since it involves music, I still have some of that work to do, but it's done.

I was going to bypass the Schumann symphonies but I'm enjoying them so much that I'm not going to bypass. And the sound is great, which means the SACD was taken from this master, which is, after all, just two years old.

Had a nice long chat with the Vixter

Can’t believe we’re already discussing Thanksgiving plans and Christmas

She and Vixhusband voted last Thursday. She said there was no wait when they went walked right in, voted and left

vixmom · « **Reply #133 on:** October 28, 2020, 11:14:05 PM »

Well it’s tomorrow, in fact it’s been tomorrow for hours, so I guess I had better get some sleep

Met with my surgeon this morning. It looks like my recent medical journey has reached an end point. There are still consultations to see if I need to modify my diet, but no further surgeries in the immediate future.

Fantastic news!!

I watched the first act of The Wind in the Willows that's streaming on YouTube right now. It's the musical version that's also available through Amazon Streaming and BroadwayHD.

George · « **Reply #140 on:** October 29, 2020, 12:04:00 AM »

I liked the song "The Open Road."

It's just a very big show. I ran sound for an original musical adaptation about eight years ago and it was absolutely delightful and thoughtful. This was big and bombastic and had a huge cast. We had just enough people and it was so good.

George · « **Reply #142 on:** October 29, 2020, 12:11:07 AM »

Oh, well.

Today, I received from Amazon, the newest Blu-ray reissue of The Last Starfighter.

George · « **Reply #146 on:** October 29, 2020, 12:14:01 AM »

It has a "Brand new restoration from a 4K scan of the original 35mm camera negative."

Three special things that are only included with the first pressing are:

* Limited Edition O-Card
* Limited Edition Reversible Poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork
* Collector's booklet featuring new writing by Amanda Reyes and sci-fi author Greg Bear's never-before-published Omni magazine article on Digital Productions, the company responsible for the CGI in The Last Starfighter.

Since it was just officially released yesterday (Tuesday), I received one of the first pressings, so I have the special bits.

And now, since we're so close...
