Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a documentary of a document, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently shooting a mockuMOOntary.

And the word of the day is: COLLOGUE!

Good morning, all! Yesterday went really, really well. At one point after the orchestra break in the first session, one of the soloists' microphones began crackling and sputtering and we feared we would have another series of problems like the day before. Fortunately it was repaired quickly, and we finished off the chorus and three more soloists last night. Today we are down to our two leads Eamonn and Mary, the adorable Rachel Kelly, and all the orchestral music: Overture, dance in Act Three, Entr'Actes, Entrance Music, and orchestra selection.

I've been getting sadder as each artist finishes up and vanishes; we lost Dean Power on Monday, and yesterday we said goodbyes to Joe Corbett, Andrew Ashwin, Lynda Lee, and Philip O'Reilly, all first rate talents and wonderfrully charming and funny people. I had mentioned to the singers that one of Victor Herbert's most famous shows was NAUGHTY MARIETTA, and, after he said goodbye, Joe Corbett went to a market and brought back for me and Judy Sherman packs of Mariettas, a thin shortbread-like cookie with a taste similar toi animal crackers. This has been a great adventure,but we do have limited time today so please, everyone, keep sending good recording vibes.

I'm still chuckling over DR Dan(theMan)'s earthquake photo and really happy about the news that our DR TCB will not be losing a leg.

I've got six hours to kill before today's sessions from 4-11:30; I'll be back later.

BK - may I share that video from last night with the folks on Talkin Bway, or should we fear the haters there?

Yes, with confirmation that my relatives in D.C. and Virginia are OK, i found DtM's photo hilarious as well.

TOD: What are the differences you're finding in working for something online as opposed to TV? Will the episodes be roughly the same length or do you feel one can be 30 minutes, the next longer or shorter as needed?

John G. · « **Reply #11 on:** August 24, 2011, 05:18:16 AM »

Well, the library had "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark." Guess I saved buying that one. From the beginning, the music sounded faux Irish in that mournful, U2 way. It is certainly their music. But I almost expected the funeral, "We're Alive" number from "Juno" to come next. Only nothing with quite that much imagination followed. Just mournful.

Good news from DR TCB.....and good news from MR BK about the pending new release which will be most excellent!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #15 on:** August 24, 2011, 05:48:00 AM »

Tonight we move on to Act Two of Don't Drink the Water - I am in the "party" scene with a couple of lines, so we shall see how that goes.

My question for ASK BK DAY......what is your favorite Woody Allen movie quip?

I have many, but I think one of my favorites is in What's New Pussycat? ... wherein he says that he is working at the Follies Bergere helping the girls change clothes for twenty francs a week. When someone says that's not very much money.....he replies...."That's all I can afford to pay them."

Laura · « **Reply #17 on:** August 24, 2011, 06:31:21 AM »

I'm so glad to hear about Elmore's Irish Adventures. I'm glad he's having a great time.

Dear BK,

My favorite is from ANNIE HALL:

"That's okay. We can walk to the curb from here."

Just talking about the video BK posted here online last night re NUDIE.

Not Bk, but favorite joke punchline:

Doctor, the Invisible Man is here for his appointment.

- Tell him I can't see him.

JRand, I played Killroy in this with Shelley Berman in dinner theatre years ago. In fact, it was my dinner theatre debut. I remember he and I were watching the director do a big bit of schtick with an actor. Shelley gave me a dour glance and out of the corner of his mouth said, "I like my comedy...subtle."

My favourite punchline: "So I bit him." Followed by: "Okay, you're a cab."

Kilroy is a good part......all of them are funny DR CP.... I am on the stage and off pretty quickly as the Sultan....or at least I hope I can be.

For some reason this director wants a LOT of party guests and actual protesters in the audience with signs and yelling which is completely unnecessary.....when the scene starts, the party is ending, and the sounds of the protesters would be sufficient....instead we will have 10 or 12 extra people wandering around the green room every night with nothing to do......Oh, and no, the protesters cannot also be the party guests, thank you very much.

Two anagrams of the same name, one I forgot yesterday:

BRAND NAME
BADMEN RAN

JMK · « **Reply #28 on:** August 24, 2011, 07:18:37 AM »

My party guests are frequently protestors, but I suspect that's different.
