Over the past 10 minutes, I've received 20(!!!) pieces of SPAM email.  -I wonder which link or site is resonsible for that?!?!?!?

The same thing has been  happening to me the last few days.  Facebook maybe?

DR JoseSPiano - will you also be playing one of the keyboard books during the performances, or just conducting?

DR JMK - any conducting duties for you, as well?

Everyone please listen and tell me what Orson sings in GOLDEN LAND after:


"....trace the Achilles heel of  ------------  far away......"

Thank you.

JR, are you talking about circa 2:33 into the tune?  I don't hear "trace the Achilles heel" all, but something like

"seek the Achilles heel of the very thoughts of far away"

My question for Ask BK Day:

Dear BK,
When duets are recorded in the studio, do the people appear in the studio and sing together? Or do they do them one at a time? If so, does the second singer hear the first singer through the headphones?

And when there are backup singers, do they record first or last?

Most of the duets I've recorded have been with both people in the room - it's a much better vibe to do it that way.  The only real time I haven't done it that way are for a couple of the Guy Haines duets, which Guy recorded here in LA at his leisure.

Backup singers are always done after.

TOD - Ask bk:

If YOU were giving Queen Elizabeth an iPod, what songs and/or albums would you pre-load on it?


I would give her all songs by Queen and the cast album of The King And I.

...And San Diego's Old Globe Theatre was destroyed by a fire in 1978.  -And I still remember footage of that being shown during the PBS/American Playhouse presentation of The Skin of Our Teeth.  However, no errant cannon fire was involved.  It was, sadly, a case of arson.

I'm up.  I have to stop making eleven o'clock appointments because getting the long jog in is just impossible if I don't get up at eight.  So, I'll come back at twelve-thirty and, weather-permitting, I'll do it then.

I bet it's TWITTER related.

With the number of "Fail Whales" I've been seeing over the past week, I don't think that would be possible. ;)

Well...at least you get to pick over the leftovers.  I don't imagine too many people finish the 22 oz. Delmonico...  :)

Re today's notes - they were interesting to write - I just realized I've never really talked about it very much, if at all.  They weren't hard to write because I'm at peace with all that stuff, but writing them actually made me think about that time, which I rarely do.  The two incidents that I absolutely cannot go back and read without becoming extremely emotional (like a slobbering idiot) are the last thirty pages or so of Kritzer Time, and, in Benjamin Kritzer, everything that begins with Benjamin finding out that Susan Pomeroy is leaving.  I was a slobbering idiot when I wrote them, and the few times I've reread them it's the same story.

Thanks!  But I'm not too worried.  DR Ben's copy has not yet arrived, either.

OOoohhh, I love the Capital Grill!    It's been ages since I've been to one!

And, considering the price list, it will be ages before I return!  [Unless someone else is paying again]  :P

I got a hold of the Charleston City Paper's Dining Guide, DISH yesterday afternoon, and went through the listings last night. I thought it was very interesting how they broke down the "moderately priced" restaurants from the "expensive" and "very expensive".  It seems the categories were based on the most expensive item on the menus, instead of an average price of an entree.  And there were a few places on the "cheap eats" listing which only seemed to take into consideration the pricing of the appetizers and not the entrees.

Since most of us are of a certain age...I will ask:

What is your favorite TELEVISION musical (not episode, but one off) that you remember?

I remember an Armstrong Carpet version of KISS ME KATE with Robert Goulet and Carol Lawrence....it was very funny....and colorful!  Although I didn't realize it then, they cut most of Bianca/Lois' part.


The only one that I can recall seeing, back when I was a kid, was a version of Cinderella...I think it was a musical.

First musical on TV I remember - CINDERELLA with Lesley Ann Warren.

I guess that must be the one!
