Post by: Doug R on October 14, 2011, 02:26:09 AM: It's not just L.A. having a heat wave. London has been unseasonably hot over past weeks. October should be misty, breezy, cold and wet. It's very disconcerting.

Post by: Doug R on October 14, 2011, 02:44:30 AM: My ISP provider has told me that, based on my present broadband usage, I am a "relatively heavy user" and that I'm likely to go over my 2GB monthly allowance which is intended for light users and that if I go over 2GB I will automatically be upgraded to an unlimted allowance and charged accordingly. I don't know what that's all about. I've been with the same ISP provider for many years, and have been consistent in my usage but all of a sudden I'm exceeding my allowance? Maybe I've just been getting away with it for years.

Post by: elmore3003 on October 14, 2011, 05:22:36 AM: Good morning, all! I had a doozyof a dream involving Rebecca Luker, Judy Kaye, Gary Miller who directed the Men's Chorus, my late friend Roderick Cook (who introduced me to the original Irma la Douce Elizabeth Seal), and a lot of other folk, and now I remember very little of it. What I do remember is the huge and noisy downpour that occurred sometime between midnight and 3:30am.

This morning I have more auditions. Jarrod Emick has taken another job and left the Appalachian piece. So, we're still looking for two men to replace him and Ben Hope and a young lady to play the young wife. Our DR Jose is playing the auditions, which suddenly appeared yesterday. Following that, I ned to stop by the Encores! office before heading back uptown. Then, it's either laundry or writing a harp part.

TOD:
DVD: Oh, lordy! those three Netflix items are still sitting here
CD: Appalachian/folk/country/bluegrass, Gi;bert & Sullivan, Offenbach, Guy Haines, Jacques Brel
VCR: Light entertainment shorts

It was on "Barbra Streisand...and other Musical Instruments" which was a newish LP recording in my collection at that time (1973).

Been watching the Blu of BEN-HUR. What a superb mastering job Warner Bros have made and what a great film. Everything in the film looks so perfect. You can see that no effort was spared to create something of value. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS was made only a few years earlier and although I love that film as well, it could have been made 20 years earlier compared to BEN-HUR. M-G-M certainly made the right choice in getting William Wyler to direct it, who gave the film class - and a cinematic experience far superior to other epics of that time.

I have been thoroughly mesmerized by THE NIGHT CIRCUS; it's full of magic, wonder, mystery and true characters.
THE DOVEKEEPERS is Alice Hoffman's new novel, which I just downloaded today for my e-reader, and is about four women during the Roman siege of Masada. It looks quite promising.

Since you have been thoroughly mesmerized I shall have to add NIGHT CIRCUS to my book queue. Please let me know if you still recommend DOVEKEEPERS when you have finished reading it.

Speaking of books, I need to finish reading THE NINETEENTH WIFE before the library removes it from my Nook today. I have about 100 pages to go.

My favorite piece of orchestration at the mo' is Jonathan Tunick's ascending chords (on harp or miramba, depending on the recording) in Losing My Mind. So 50's in style, guilessly stepping their way up the scale until that final delayed and faultering note--so perfectly fitting for that song! I never really paid attention to what it was doing before but now it gives me chills.

Marimba? Did you mean Vibraphone? Or Celeste?

-Although, the ascending scale on Marimba would probably make Sally "lose her mind". ;D

My ISP provider has told me that, based on my present broadband usage, I am a "relatively heavy user" and that I'm likely to go over my 2GB monthly allowance which is intended for light users and that if I go over 2GB I will automatically be upgraded to an unlimted allowance and charged accordingly. I don't know what that's all about. I've been with the same ISP provider for many years, and have been consistent in my usage but all of a sudden I'm exceeding my allowance? Maybe I've just been getting away with it for years.

So, we're still looking for two men to replace him and Ben Hope and a young lady to play the young wife. Our DR Jose is playing the auditions, which suddenly appeared yesterday. Following that, I ned to stop by the Encores! office before heading back uptown. Then, it's either laundry or writing a harp part.

It was on "Barbra Streisand...and other Musical Instruments" which was a newish LP recording in my collection at that time (1973).

It reminds me that I don't play music while I clean any more. What's up with that? It was always a huge help!
Music and cleaning certainly do go together. Too bad I've given up the cleaning thing entirely.

You and I are sharing the same apartment?

I use onion soup mix plus a can of diced tomatoes with the juice to make a tasty soup broth. Then add veggies and meat (unless I'm making it for DR Sandra).

Yum.

Yesterday (I believe), DR JMK posted this:

"JR, someone with almost your initials is playing Indy with Beaverton's (NOT Tumwater's ) Shoshana Bean."

And said person with "almost your initials" just posted this on Twitter:

Just had terrifying realization that people paid money for their tickets tonight.

;D

I didn't understand the first part of this post yesterday, and I really don't understand it now.

My library has THE NIGHT CIRCUS on ebooks & I'm 12th on the waiting list. While there I checked and, to my relief, have two days left to finish my book. I can now relax while I read though I still plan on finishing it today.

Is The Night Circus a Young Adult book? I've heard some buzz about it. I'm curious. But i have so many books on my list to read I can't keep up with all i want to read.

Of course not. Mixed with sour cream, or sometimes IMO, or sometimes with yogurt.

Post by: td on October 14, 2011, 06:21:50 PM: DR Jennifer, no, THE NIGHT CIRCUS is not a young adult novel, though I suppose a teenager might enjoy it. It's more a fantasia for adults who can still remember the sights, the sounds, the smells and the magic that circuses or carnivals could bring.

Oy! The Guthrie Theatre PINAFORE looks really awful. It has none of the wonderful "play with the original" of the Joseph Papp PIRATES OF PENZANCE. This is more "Anything Pins Adore" with lots of "new" rhumba and Latin arrangements. I think I'll turn it off.

I'm about to change the channel myself. I wouldn't mind the update(!) musical arrangements if the production elements had been updated too.

However, the sailor pants are quite well-fitting. ::)

If this abortion from the Guthrie were half as wonderful as the Joseph Papp production, I might like it, but the over-the-top campiness and musical direction and (re)arrangements are putrid.

Post by: bk on October 14, 2011, 06:47:39 PM: Back from a really long but fun day of shooting. We actually got behind a teeny bit with the first of the three numbers, because unlike the other stuff we've done, this one involved basically two people and a lot of action, which we had to break down into many shots. So, we wrapped that one a half hour late, but then sort of caught up with the second number, but then got slightly behind again with the third number, mostly because the camera place had said they'd fully charged all the batteries when, in fact, they were all half-charged. So, we lost about twenty minutes dealing with constant charging and battery changes towards the end of the day. We felt just a little bit of pressure because the dweeb who own the studio didn't ever think, well, what if they need to go a little later. So, he wanted and needed to lock up at four-thirty sharp - had we not been pressured like that at the end, it would have been much nicer. These jernts are usually booked until six or even eight in the evening, but apparently this was the only day this week they weren't. But, still, they should know to leave at least an hour of pad at the end of a session. We actually wrapped the final number around 4:10, only ten minutes late, but then had to put the studio back the way we found it, which took the other twenty minutes. Then we shot Matt Ashford's set-up scene, which only took a half-hour and then we had to dump all the sound and footage onto our backup drive and that took close to an hour, so I had to cancel on going to see Annie tonight. Better that way, I think. I would have probably liked just about twenty more minutes to do a handful more shots on the final number, but we really did get plenty of footage, which will give the editor plenty of choices.

As soon as the piece began with the sailors semaphoring, I thought "they're trying to make it into 'Anything Goes!'"

The musical director should be embarrassed by his work, from the new "vocal" arrangements on down. I guess he was "inspired" by the John McDaniel work on THE PIRATES OF [THE CARIBBEAN] PENZANCE.

Ooh! Ooh! Memory flasback: I recall cleaning my first apartment -- a two-bedroom in Vicenza, Italy (small kitchen, wonderful layout of rooms, nice balconies) -- and listening to Streisand sing "I Never Has Seen Snow." It was on "Barbra Streisand...and other Musical Instruments" which was a newish LP recording in my collection at that time (1973).

It reminds me that I don't play music while I clean any more. What's up with that? It was always a huge help!
Music and cleaning certainly do go together. Too bad I've given up the cleaning thing entirely.

You and I are sharing the same apartment?
You know, my place is so messy that I probably wouldn't notice if we were.

JMK, but you didn't discover the ants because they had an unusual crunch & taste to them. :P

That's what you think. :)

Post by: JMK on October 14, 2011, 08:41:40 PM: OMG--don't ask me why I was thinking of this, but I wanted to see if Chaz Bono was still on DWTS (which I have never, ever watched, BTW), so I went to Wikipedia to look up the show. You fans probably know this already, but I was gobsmacked by how many countries have a franchise--Estonia, Romania! Good Lord! What do they do, walk down the street and pick random people and say, "You're a STAR, come dance with us!" :)

Post by: JMK on October 14, 2011, 08:42:18 PM: Of course, judging by the people they get on the US version, that's evidently what they do here, too.

Post by: Jrand73 on October 14, 2011, 08:45:03 PM: I was just about to say - if you didn't stick with it, you missed Jack's Mother as Queen Victoria....courtesy "additional material by Jeffrey Hatcher."

I am pretty distressed by the whole thing.....but I might be a purist or some such person..... And yes the arrangements were annoying.

Well - I think I like the Australian ESSGEE production better than what I saw this evening......the curtain call from ESSGEE...produced by and starring the same man...

Post by: elmore3003 on October 14, 2011, 08:53:52 PM: The swishy director who directed the ultra-campy Stratford Festival productions that may be found on DVD was a friend of former DR Panni. He's a pathetic director and they're god-awful.

I don't know what it is with G&S that urges directors, who clearly have no appreciation for their work, to trash them. They become Fire Island drag shows without the wit or irony.

Post by: elmore3003 on October 14, 2011, 08:54:59 PM: The ESSGEE production is amazing: between the padded dance belts and the disco it's like a really gay night at Studio 54 around 1979.

Why is it that something as simple as Lipton Onion Soup Dip can be so damn tasty?

a man after my own heart --- after our chips and dip would you like to join me in a run to the border? Jose can come too

I'd join you, but I'm more of a Taco Johns kind of girl

I don't think we have any of those here .... but if it's good healthy well made mexican food I probably won't like it --- give me that processed junk food

Not one thing healthy about it, except maybe the lettuce and tomatoes on top.

I turned back on to PINAFORE at 11 to see Barbara Bryne, of SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, dressed as Queen Victoria serenaded by the "March of Peers" from IOLANTHE with new lyrics and a synthesized arrangement that sounded like a skating rink. The musical director, who wrote these awful charts should stay in the dinner theatre world.
Hey, I've seen some very good dinner theater.

Dang, TCB. Now you have me wanting some Lipton Onion Soup Dip.

Does anyone actually make Onion Soup with it anymore?

Did anyone ever make Onion Soup with it?
LOL. I don't think I ever have.

Post by: George on October 14, 2011, 10:35:55 PM: Well, my cousin has Wi-Fi and my Kindle browser works...as long as I don't click on the "notify" link. That froze everything and I had to shut off the thing. Very inconvenient. :P

Otherwise, we have just been enjoying games and chatting. Tomorrow, we're going to drive around town and see what there is to see in this liitle Oregon town. And that's the whole plan. Who knows what we'll do on Sunday. :D

Post by: George on October 14, 2011, 10:41:57 PM: Everyone has gone to our respective bedrooms for the night. It's still early for me, even though I didn't get much sleep last night. So, I'm going to see if I can check my e-mail on this thing...my cousin only has a laptop and I think that it's only for his work. So, good night all and...

~~~VIBES OF ALL KINDS FOR EVERYONE!!~~~
