I plan to do that in a few weeks anyway!

DR JoseSPiano, I'll bet you've got many great audition, rehearsal, and performance stories.

How many bars does a singer get at a typical audition these days, in your experience?

It's still the usual 16 or 32 bars. Basically, a verse and refrain. Or just the refrain. I just wish the schools would stop teaching that "16 Bars Means 16 Bars". No one is counting bars. And if you're doing 16 bars of a ballad, well, then you get more time to sing than if you were doing 16 bars of an uptempo. Basically, since a whole "idea", or 30 seconds. Whichever comes first.

*However, for Equity calls and appointment, the courtesy of singing a full song is still granted (and expected). -Now, if it's an Equity chorus call, and there are tons of people in line, then the producers can state just how many bars they would like to hear, have the time to hear. It usually starts at 16, then down to 8... Then even sometimes down to 4.

Thanks, Ben. I thoroughly enjoyed that interview. I will try to send a link to the archived one to the actress who played "Silent Susan" in FINIAN'S RAINBOW. She might get a kick out of it. (She lives here in Atlanta.)

DR FJL et al - In case you missed "Grey's Anatomy" or any other ABC program, just head to ABC's website. You can watch most of their main programs online the day after they air.

Jose - Thanks for the ABC info.

Work session done and I think we're now within one song of having all the songs chosen.

I must now do a few errands, and then I must WRITE!

Illya, Darling is at long last being released on CD.

For those who care about such things.

I've never heard this recording. I think that I might have the album, but I don't remember...my records aren't in any order any more.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #190 on:** March 16, 2007, 02:03:22 PM »

...And I really just hope that my wallet is on my desk, buried under some mail. Or on the kitchen table. Or on my dresser... I hope. Really I do. *Thankfully, I knew that lunch was being provided today - and I always keep a couple of Clif Bars in my bag whenever I know I have some long work days coming up. -Sometimes, a real "lunch" does not happen. And since I had my MetroCard, I was able to head out this morning, and I really didn't want to waste any more time searching for my wallet.

Yadda-yadda-yadda...

Now, was Illya, Darling ever on CD? For some reason, I seem to remember that title on a CD booklet. -Or not.

And finally, a certain individual standing in the frozen foods aisle of Sainsbury with an interesting (to say the least) food product.

I hear that pork faggots is Ann Coulter's favourite meal! Preferably frozen!

The weather has changed for the worse here in NY. After a few beautiful late winter days we now have a light snow which is supposed to turn into 3-5 inches of mush by later today. Of course with the weather back in the 50s by the middle of next week the cold won't last long but it's certainly unpleasant while it lasts.

Blame it on the pork faggots!

After "Ugly Betty," I watched a bit of a new DVD that I got from an Amazon Marketplace seller, Anarchy TV. It has several of the Zappa kids in it and an actor who played the recurring character of a time policeman from "Star Trek Enterprise." It has something to do with a bunch of people taking over a religious local TV station and doing nude aerobics instead (male and female full frontal nudity ). I'll have to watch the whole thing. And the naked people (well, the men) are nice to look at.

Will you be loaning this to DR Elmore?

If he wants it.

But probably he won't...it's not porn, but it was cheap.

That's a real picture of me, but it is about two years old. I guess I should update it, but other than some gray in my hair (which doesn't show up very prominently in pictures), not too much is different.

Just another Friday afternoon in the downtown ~~day shelter for the homeless~~ public library:

A near riot broke out near the computer services area, which resulted in intervention by our ineffectual security guards, which resulted in my co-worker pushing the panic buttons, which resulted in an all-call to the administrators, which resulted in a 911 call to the police, which resulted in the expulsion of half a dozen low-lifes and my mouthing off to our director about how I feel like a fraud when I go out in the community and encourage people to come to this building for resources and programs.

Can anyone say 3-day weekend?

It has gotten colder as the day has progressed. By tomorrow night, it's going to be below freezing again, so we're not quite shed of winter yet.

No, I don't think ILLYA DARLING has ever been on CD. I listened to the LP once and thought it was so bad that I've never listened to it again. But that was a long time ago. Maybe it would appeal more to me now.

Matt H. · « **Reply #202 on:** March 16, 2007, 02:36:12 PM »

I LOVED the stunts, chases, and BIG moments of CASINO ROYALE, but I thought the movie was at least 20 minutes too long mostly from those elaborate set pieces going on and on and on past the point of being impressive. And the poker stuff bored me to tears. I understood its place in the story, of course, but it just seemed to go on forever.

I did order the Blu-ray of the film and thought it might come today, but it didn't.

I began my afternoon viewing with THE STORK CLUB starring Betty Hutton, Barry Fitzgerald, and Don Defore. It's really not a musical. All the music is swing band stuff where Betty gets up and sings with the band four times. The rest has some tedious romantic misconceptions that could be explained away in two minutes, but it takes them over 90 in the movie so they'd have a movie. This was crooner Andy Russell's introduction to films, and he makes a negligible impression. I guess he was hired as Paramount's answer to Dick Haymes.

The print TCM showed was in pretty bad shape. Lots of scratches and damage. Watchable and sharp enough, but not in good enough shape for a DVD release if anyone were interested.

I looked at a couple of minutes of THE PERILS OF PAULINE, and it looks to be a public domain release, several generations removed from a top notch transfer. To be fair, however, I just looked at the credits and a few seconds more. I'll watch more of it tonight.

Matt H. · « **Reply #205 on:** March 16, 2007, 02:42:45 PM »

I watched last night's SMALLVILLE and kept waiting for a twist that never arrived. Boy, they've REALLY gone away from the mythology of the original stories.

Matt H. · « **Reply #206 on:** March 16, 2007, 02:44:13 PM »

Finished my afternoon's viewing with last night's SCRUBS, a typical outing with people stealing scrubs from the hospital and some foolishness with J.D.'s stuffed dog Rowdy.

I'm looking more forward to watching ANDY BARKER, P.I., tonight.

Seems like people all over town love our Larry (and Bruce too). I just came across a CD by:

Darrin Baker

In the booklet he says if you see Larry Moore on the street, you should run up and give him a big kiss because he was one of the people who made the CD come to life. He also lists a Mr. Bruce Kimmel as one of his inspirations.

Did he really? That was very kind of him. The last time I saw Darrin he tld me he'd give me a copy of the CD and he never did! I've lost track of him, so I'll have to buy a copy.
