elmore and ron - the overall title of the 5 CD Fiedler set is The Arthur Fiedler Legacy - each volume is two CDs (for a total of ten) and they are themed - like B'way and Hollywood, Symphonic Spectacular, Evening At Pops, etc. They're on Deutsche Grammaphon via Universal Distribution.

Had some fried chicken for lunch.

Of course, I had to cross the picket line to enter the home environment and eat said lunch.

Last night's LIFE was a marvelous episode. Two mysteries solved with an "inching closer" solution to his own personal mystery. And two new episodes next week. If it would do well after HEROES next Monday, I suspect NBC would move it there permanently.

Damn! I love this show and I forgot. I was all caught up in THE CLOSER reruns on TNT.

Well, Cinderella has its one and only preview tonight and then we open. Due to a longstanding gig, I was not able to be at dress last night (I know it's horrible, but what can you do?), so hopefully all the kinks are out. I hope this comment is accepted with the humor with which it is intended, but the biggest "major change" in the show is Cinderella's phrasing--she would have been murdered by Richard Rodgers, I'm sure. She especially likes coming in late and making eighth note pickups sixteenths.

But she does have a lovely, lovely voice and will probably end up in NYC post-Miss America.

Which of course brings to mind the famous joke--how do you know there's a soprano at your door? She can't find the key and doesn't know how to come in.

Well, I DO have it in my DVR cache. And I AM going to watch it.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #251 on:** November 29, 2007, 02:02:27 PM »

Ergo....I could just as easily record it for you while I'm watching it.

The films I have seen the most would be (in no particular order):

SOME LIKE IT HOT
WIZARD OF OZ
THE WOMEN
PHILADELPHIA STORY
THE GREAT RACE
PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM
BLAZING SADDLES
DESK SET
HOW TO STEAL A MILLION
MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE
101 DALMATIONS (the original animated one)

Not too textbook a collection, eh?

My sense is you'll like some of the later efforts, like "Tale Spinnin'", even more. You should also get Zawinul's legendary solo Atlantic album, which is out on CD.

Guess I'll be heading down now to finishing the Carol Burnett program and then on to a Blu-ray delight.

Oh, I do wish you would. I hope this show survives long enough for the first season to be put up for sale!

I still remember my Boston Pops Broadway LP with the medley from "Company" on it.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #262 on:** November 29, 2007, 02:25:16 PM »

I have an old LP of Arthur Fiedler at the Pops in storage at my parents

Time to shut things down here in my cube and go home to find out what DH Richard has cooked up for dinner.

Does anyone here have the name "Thaddeus"?

If anyone did, would he speak up about it?

JMK, I saw a little preview of the Cinderella show that you mention. It was on channel 8's morning news during Drew Carney's segment yesterday, I think it was....I just love that Drew Carney...he really cracks me up every morning, he is so funny!
