CD: the advance copy of the new Guy Haines Album, NEW GUY IN TOWN, of course!

Tomovoz, Jack Nitzsche, if it is the same Jack Nitzsche who wrote movie scores and was married to Buffy St. Marie (won an Oscar, I believe) bought my old house in Beachwood Canyon under the shadow of the Hollywood sign.  I had to leave a round bed I had as part of the deal.   I think he used it for his Hollywood pied a terre when working here.  He was a very weird guy.  There was an episode of the TV show COPS, showing the Hollywood division, pulling him over when he was drunk, cruising Hollywood Blvd, with a gun, looking for unsavory types.  Alas, I believe he passed away a few years back.

That's the one.  He died in 2000. MBarnum will no doubt know that he arranged Bob Lind's "Elusive Butterfly"  and co-wrote "Needles And Pins".

Scores included "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" and "Officer And A Gentleman"..

For those fans of "The Big Chill", Nitzsche did choral arrangements for the Rolling Stones "You Can't always Get what You Want".

I will buy the house if you leave the round bed.  That's something I have never heard on House Hunters on HGTV!

DVD: Aventurera! I can't get it out of the player - it has me in its grip...Ninon Sevilla AKA Senor Wences is hypnotic....or hipnotic as the case may be when she is dancing.

CD: Still Doris Day the 1960's Singles

VCR: STAGESTRUCK with Christopher Plummer, Susan Strasberg, Henry Fonda and NEW YORK CITY!

DR CP - I remember that episode of COPS, but I had never identified the man....it was a sad episode.

Nothing in the DVD or VCR but since the weather has cooled, I will probably watch more Sopranos episodes this weekend.

CD Player: In honor of Anthony's opening tonight, I've got A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (the Bay Cities reissue from Mr. BK's early company)

I also have Stop the World, I Want to Get Off OCR, Sugar OCR, Sweeney Todd OCR, the Rodgers and Hammerstein revue by the Roundabout Theatre, It's a Grand Night for Singing, produced by the inimitable BK and finally, the OCR of one of the best musicals ever written, Follies

And that, my friends, is my listening material for the morning. In the afternoon, at 2pm, I will listen to Ball Over Broadway on BBC Radio 2 and then 90 minutes after that I will head home to change and prepare for a friend's birthday outing. Just a simple dinner and since it's summer and stays light till around 8:30, we may go over to the West Side and walk along the Hudson River.

Good morning, all!  This blast of cool weather has me very lethargic and lazy today.  I've got a lot of things to do:  the recording office, some DARLING OF THE DAY work here, and then THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA tonight.  When I get home, I have to wrap a few Christmas gifts that have been sitting here since December; I'm seeing their recipients tonight at the theatre, so we'll have Christmas in June.

TOD:
  DVD:  I got three Netflix movies still waiting for me
  CD:  French operetta, BEGGAR'S OPERA (Britten version), SEVENTEEN, ALICE IN WONDERLAND (Bambi Linn/Eva Le Gallienne), UP IN CENTRAL PARK
  VCR:  I'm waiting for Jed's shaving video

Sorry I have been errant and truant this week; I have felt like Ol' Man River this week, and it has even gone through my head several times (usually the "Sick of trying..." line but sometimes just the rollin' along).

CD:  Original (as in the first and real one) cast of "Flower Drum Song,"   Sally Mayes' "Boys and Girls" among others.

DVD- "The Aviator"  I'm not a Leonardo DiCapprio, but he's going a better job than I expected.  The movie is quite gorgeous to watch, though.

VCR--"Andy's Gang" with Froggie the Gremlin ("Hiya Kids, Hiya!  I feel good, I do; I do.")

I've got to slow down when reading these posts...somehow, I misread this as the classic Gary Cooper musicals collection...

Yesterday DR George joked that we (der B and myself) should kidnap his daughter and take her to a Log Cabin meeting.  Thing is, der B has already taken her to a meeting, a few years ago.  He took her husband, as well.  Everyone thought her husband was with der B.  They thought der B's daughter was a lesbian.  

Her husband enjoyed himself.

Media Check:

CD: BK's wonderful CD CINDERELLA: SONGS FROM THE CLASSIC FAIRY TALE

VHS: It would have been the 1930 classic MAD LOVE if I had remembered to set the timer last night.

DVD: OKLAHOMA starring Hugh Jackman, courtesy of DR Elmore3003 who for some reason thinks I need a little bit of culture. I don't know where he comes up with that! .....Well, I must now go finish watching my double feature of TEST TUBE BABIES (1948) and HELL IS A PLACE CALLED HOLLYWOOD (1950).
