It is 3:30 a.m., and I have just received a most distressing phone call. It was someone from the sheriff's department telling me that the case has been dismissed and he will be released in the morning.

I am very confused. The paper I received last week said he was released on bond. And now I am very very frightened.

DR DearReaderLaura, I am completely puzzled by this whole situation, but in going back over the events as you've posted them, it sounds as if you were one of several folk this moron was gunning for.  Are they equally alarmed about the current state of events?
Title: Re:THE WORLD IS A CIRCLE
Post by: DearReaderLaura on March 07, 2007, 04:42:55 AM
DR Elmore, there was one other victim. We are both confused, and he is very angry about this. The folks at the "service club" (aka drinking club) don't know about the dismissal yet, as they were not victims.

We never talked to a prosecutor. In fact, after the photo lineup, I never spoke to anyone again. I made two phone calls: one to the detective, which he did not return, and one to the victim advocate office, which they did not return. I received the one call last week saying the preliminary hearing was postponed, and this call this morning. These folks are just message relayers, so they don't have any other information than what they were given to make the phone call.

Obviously, they felt they would not get a conviction, which seems odd that they would come to that conclusion, seeing how we never talked to a prosecutor.

RE: last night's AMERICAN IDOL.


My two favorites were Chris Richardson and Blake.  Right now they seem to be the judges favorites as well.

I think that Chris S and sundance and phil will be safe (i really believe phil is super popular).

So that leaves brandon, jared, sanjaya. I think jared is gone for sure. And while i like him, i think brandon may be the other.

I really dislike sanjaya. And i had such high hopes for him after his original audition. There is something about the way that he comes across that just drives me crazy.

Since he apparently can't get his actors to play their instruments backwards, he will innovate by running the plot forward.   ;D

Another option would be to find out what justice court the case would have been in and contact the court asking to speak to the county attorney that covers that court. I know when I was there, the same county attorney was assigned to the same justice court on a regular basis, so they would be the one to contact. or if it was a city charge, the city attorney

This is confirmed by TV GUIDE, my cable guide, and the TV listing in my local newspaper. Of course, NBC has been known to make last minute changes so who knows? If you're not going to be home, I'd record it just to make sure.

I was sad to read that THE KNIGHTS OF PROSPERITY has been taken off the schedule, and the remaining three episodes it had to air are now in limbo. It's kind of depressing that these shows get filmed but often the public never gets to see them.

This was a charming show that probably would have had a better chance at a long run on another network. ABC is just not known for decent sitcoms nowadays, so when they get a good one, they don't know what to do with it.

Many moons ago when I was the victim of a violent crime, I was contacted by a victim's rights group which explained that the county's 92% conviction rate greatly impacted their decisions about which cases to prosecute.

And then there was that crappy little so-called comedy with Lea Thompson and Malcolm Gets and Eric Lutes...about a cartoonist and her colorist and her on-again/off-again boyfriend.

WOOF!  It lasted several seasons.  Was it called "Caroline in Charge", or something like that?

But that was truly before "reality TV" set in.

No...it was "Caroline in the City".


Sure.  That's it.


How easily forgotten it would be were it not for the total lack of believability these characters had -- except the neighbor who made a career of being in the chorus of "Cats"....she was a mini-hoot -- and the "messenger" who picked up/delivered the cartoon strips to the news agency -- Charlie (played by Andy Lauer).  He was very funny.

There were some exceptional guest stars, of course....Robert Gant and Mark Feuerstein the most notable of them, IMO.

But the bulk of the show rested on Thompson and Gets.

Woof!

I thought about this subject after watching the season finale (in March!) of THE CLASS where we were supposed to care or be shocked about a hook up.

We haven't really had time to get interested or invested in these characters, at least I haven't.  And the writing is so bad and the situations so pat or impossible, that I just didn't care.  Even with a regular cast of seven or eight - the producers keep bringing in new "wacky" supporting characters with one-joke personas....

THE CLASS could have been good.

I was pondering the question a bit further. I have often wondered how some shows have seen the light of day for they are poorly written, no defined plots or characters and the timing is poor.  For me many of teh better shows were in the 1980s and earlier with a few exceptions in the 1990s. Some of the comedies on the air right now are okay but they just do not have the same draw that some of the ones written in the past did.

For me some of the classic stuff includes MASH, theCosby Show, Family Ties, Frasier, Cheers and many other. I still enjoy a couple from the 60s and 70s even though I have only seen them in reruns.

Shows that baffle me as to why they see the light of day... I respect those who enjoy them...
Suddenly Susan
According to Jim
George Lopez (In a rare blue moon he has an occaisionally good show)
Hope and Faith

And my all-time favorite 'what were they thinking' -- PASSIONS.... That show should have NEVER, EVER seen the light of broadcast... That is the most inane show I have ever seen...What the heck was NBC thinking....

I am still not well.  Last night I woke up and I couldn't breathe.  I hacked a while, drank some water and was better.  If this wasn't such a busy week I'd stay home, but that really isn't an option.  

I have certainly been there!

A couple of recommendations for the next time it happens:

Put a kettle on and get a towel.  Stand over the steam with towel over back of your head....breathe steam in....but don't get so close that it burns your face or nostrils.

I also enjoy a cup of organic tea called "Breathe Deep", a product of "Yogi Tea" (and VERY reasonably priced at Amazon.com...MUCH more reasonable than in any of the stores that carry it or on Yogi Tea's own website).  Herbs in this organic tea include Thyme, Eucalyptus, Elecampane, Basil, Ginger Root and Mullein.  You can drink it plain (I prefer it) or with honey, which the box claims can aid in the "expectoration" process.  (Sorry, Miss Karen!).  It has a pleasant taste, so don't worry it's some gosh-awful concoction.  Other ingredients include Licorice Root, Cinnamon Bark and Peppermint Leaf.

Tonight's MEDIUM is new. Next week's show is a rerun.

This is confirmed by TV GUIDE, my cable guide, and the TV listing in my local newspaper. Of course, NBC has been known to make last minute changes so who knows? If you're not going to be home, I'd record it just to make sure.

My tv guide had it as a repeat. And there were no listings in my tv. My local paper also did not have it as new (in today's paper).

I just checked on nbc.com and it says it is new. I tried to check there yesterday, but they don't have very good info. Although there info is a bit better for the same day.  When i click on "medium" it just takes forever to load.

Btw, will anybody be watching the new fox show after IDOL? Is it called WEDDING BELLS? *(I know it's wedding something). It's by David E. Kelly.

I have a question for AMERICAN IDOL fans re: this whole frenchie davis/antonella barba thing.

Do you think it's right that one of them got kicked off the show while the other didn't?

I'm not sure if frenchie should have gotten kicked off. But I am okay with them keeping antonella (even though i can't stand her).  She took private pictures which somehow got out. Plus i don't believe that she was naked in the pictures.

But to me i wouldn't bother kicking her out. There is zero chance she will win. On the other hand frenchie was definitely one of the frontrunners.

Really to me, i wouldn't waste my time kicking antonella out. She will be one in the next couple of weeks for sure.

Back from shipping packages.  I don't have to deliver the new pages as Richard, Margaret's hubby, is coming by to return some DVDs and I'll give them to him.

Meanwhile, a package I sent to Dress Circle in the UK has been sitting in customs for two days - I was told it would be there in 3 to 5 days, and I guess that estimate is meaningless.  It could, I'm told, sit in customs for weeks - all the more annoying because I may have accidentally ticked the wrong box on the customs form.  I've alerted Dress Circle about it and gave them the tracking number.

That said, I am probably not going to do business with Dress Circle anymore, unless the accountant stops screwing around with the way he's paying - I had an understanding with them after the first three invoices took four months to be paid, and suddenly this idiot is not sticking to the agreement.  So, from now on I don't ship till they pay (they're supposed to wire money when I've told them the package has shipped) - I have no idea not only when they'll get the current package, but when they'll pay the invoice.  Most annoying.

We were talking about the Frenchie Davis/Antonella Barba controversy today at lunch. Except of course, my co-workers call Antonella "you/that girl with your name." The consensus was that Antonella had photos that were posted by her friends without her knowledge/permission. They were taken for fun and not professionally versus Frenchie Davis's being more professional and deliberately put out into the world.

DR Laura, I heard something about them consolidating the justice courts and having them in one place downtown.  I know the Maricopa County Public Defender's Office just moved into the new justice building or whatever they are calling it, so it may still be in justice court.

What confounds me about the dear reader Laura issue is that no prosecutor spoke to her.  That is just insane for something of this nature.  There must be some sort of complaint that can be filed - people have rights and if they didn't even bother to contact the victim that seems quite reprehensible to me.

That's not unusual. In lots of cases the prosecutors never speak to the victims. Either the cops or an advocate or someone delegated to talk to them makes the call.

Do any of you DRs have a pet peeve which inspires a corresponding fantasy?

Here’s an example:

I am annoyed by messy and/or difficult product packaging [for CDs, DVDs, or anything seal-wrapped in plastic].  

This inspires my personal fantasy: forcing the CEOs of the companies responsible into a boardroom, and watching while they are forced to open one of their own products.

I don’t have any delusions that watching – as the suits are forced to deal with sharp plastic edges, or sealing labels that shred into a thousand tiny pieces and leave a gummy, sticky residue all over the case – will do any real good, or that these CEOs would even care, since they will have saved one hundredth of one cent per unit on cheap glue.  But it sure would be personally gratifying!

Fortunately Customs has never been a problem when we sent packages to Romania.  The difficulty was Craig getting to the post office to collect them.  While he was in the small town of Tecuci he had to travel an hour each way by train to the main post office.  In Bucharest it is still very time consuming & inconvenient with public transportation, plus he works during the day.  The result is we spend big bucks to get a package to him quickly and then it can sit in the post office for weeks before he collects it.

I agree with bk, I also find it odd that the prosecutor did not speak with Laura.

I guess it depends on what the police report said. If the reports indicated a simple "he said-she said" case, I suspect it would be dropped without further ado. Many prosecutor's offices have a heavy case overload and case triage is necessary.

I, too, share your frustration with CD/DVD packaging. I suspect that most people do. So many things could be improved. Yet when I've spoken to senior management types so often the attitude is "That's the way it is." That's nonsense, of course. It's a matter of looking at the problem and being open to new ideas. Unfortunately, many US companies stiffle innovation, in my opinion. Even Hewlett-Packard, who used to have such a stellar reputation, was absolutely stiffling--one of the worst companies I've worked for in that regard.

Alas, no interesting fantasies for their comeuppance!

I guess it depends on what the police report said. If the reports indicated a simple "he said-she said" case, I suspect it would be dropped without further ado.


What about resisting arrest?  If he had a license for the rifle were they both taken away, or without a charge did he get to keep them?  It is possible they dropped the charges & kept the rifle.

DR Laura, I do home you get some answers to his whereabouts.

It seems a key issue is which pix are really of her and which are fake.

Now there is a show I just didn't get -

When our little local fine arts association back in Prescott (back when I lived there) advanced to the national competition in the ACT Fest with a show that my mother was a part of -- and one of the favorite plays ever in fact -- one of the regions had advanced their production of A New Brain.  

My mother and I laughed incredulously all the way through, saying "What the hell is this?"  It wasn't the production itself (well, I'm sure that contributed), it was the show as a whole...and then we were just about rolling up and down the aisles with laughter when at the end, people (especially those from our show) stood up cheering, crying "Bravo!"

Oh man...I despise that show.  LOL

It wasn't so much the score...when that little frog guy (I guess that's what he was) came rolling out on the platform with wheels, I was like "What the....?"  I was a bit lost throughout that story -- and didn't figure a lot of it out til after it was over... Not on my "to see again" list....and certainly not on my "to do" at my local theatre list...but somebody loves it cause enough theatres are doing it...so what do I know....

Ummm.....I've been watching the show all season. The point I was trying to make was how much they producers amped up the sleaze/ titillation factor in last night's episode. Much rawer and baser than in any previous episode - by a mile. And this on basic cable, not HBO.

I watched INVITATION TO THE DANCE to begin my afternoon. Not a great dance film by any means, but parts of it are entertaining.

The first part "Circus" looks very sharp, and the Technicolor was quite wonderful. This looked better than the version on the Kelly laserdisc set.

"Ring ARound the ROsy" started off very problematic with scratches and lots of dirt during the introduction of the players in the number. Then, things smoothed out and it looked fine.

"Sinbad the Sailor" didn't look as good as the excerpt in THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT 2 once the cartoon business began.

I guess they have never found the footage to "Dance Me a Song" which was supposed to be a fourth segment in the movie but was cut. I've they've found it, I've never seen it.

We were talking about the Frenchie Davis/Antonella Barba controversy today at lunch. Except of course, my co-workers call Antonella "you/that girl with your name." The consensus was that Antonella had photos that were posted by her friends without her knowledge/permission. They were taken for fun and not professionally versus Frenchie Davis's being more professional and deliberately put out into the world.

Well i don't know that the producers of idol would want the winner to have these types of photos out there.

Do you think it has anything to do with race?

Or anything to do with the fact that frenchie could have won. While seriously antonella is pretty bad and will most certainly not win.

I haven't kept up with the Antonella fracas to comment on it (I find her so appallingly bad), but I think what they objected to about Frenchie was that she didn't tell them the photos were out there. Others in later seasons had problems with the law (Bo Bice arrested for pot possession, etc), but they were forthcoming to the producers once they made the show, and the producers could spin it. The one thing they won't tolerate is being taken by surprise.

Others in later seasons had problems with the law (Bo Bice arrested for pot possession, etc), but they were forthcoming to the producers once they made the show, and the producers could spin it. The one thing they won't tolerate is being taken by surprise.

And Scott Savol was a woman-hitter!

Yes he was, now that you mention it. I don't think IDOL expects the contestants to be sin-free. They jkust want them to be honest with them at the early stages of production. I think if you do that, they'll back you as long as you last on the show.

Marty, Mikey, Bonnie, Buster and Fletcher all know full well that a photograph of a person is no indication of what they are like.  That requires putting one's nose up close, preferably towards the other's rear, and getting a good sniff.

Rather than expending so much energy trying to correct me and, on occasion, others, I heartily recommend you let sleeping dogs lie (you can all sniff one another if you so choose).

Mainly, though, I'm certain you would prefer other folks here didn't start suggesting things YOU  can do with your advice and "corrections."

I just got back from a really awesome run up through the hills over here next to Los Feliz/Griffith Park...

I happened to pass by a coyote that was running down this road next to a golf club here - we passed within maybe 3 yards of one another, me going my way and him going his -- it was amazing; he didn't seem daunted at all to be passing by another runner.  Even stranger was that he was all alone in broad daylight.  As I was running by, I noticed he stopped and just watched a couple of golfers who were playing on the hole nearest us...curious little guy...

DR S. Woody beat me to the response. I like them both and find them both entertaining in their own ways.

To be honest, I haven't listened to a NEW BRAIN in awhile. That might be one I need to take off the shelf and spin again this weekend now that I've finished bk's BRAIN and put it back on the shelf.

Well i don't know that the producers of idol would want the winner to have these types of photos out there.

Do you think it has anything to do with race?

Or anything to do with the fact that frenchie could have won. While seriously antonella is pretty bad and will most certainly not win.

I don't know if it has anything to do with race. I really feel like it has more to do with the fact that Antonella's photos were taken by a friend for fun and not professionally produced for a paycheck the way Frenchie's were. And I'm sure it doesn't hurt that Antonella is a gorgeous 20 year old girl versus Frenchie who is not traditionally the face of american television.

You are not to stay in any hotels in Little Tokyo.  Just stick with that cool retro hotel you found behing the Chinese Theatre.  It is a good central spot from which to operate  --  just about equal times to West Hollywood, Studio City, and even shorter to the Asian area of the old east end of Hollywood Boulevard.

You have to tell me your exact dates that you'll be in La-La land, so that I can get you to Musso & Frank.  AND NO ARGUING !!   ;)


This time I will be sequestered at the Marriott hotel in Burbank as that is where the Ray Courts Hollywood show will be held...however I am going to be there a couple of days before hand so as to do the tourist type thing again...April 25 and 26 are my free days so come on down!

Musso and Franks....you won't get any argument out of me!!!!

And whatever happend to Eric Lutes.

Eric had a wonderful guest appearance on "Frasier" before he began co-starring on "Caroline in the city".  He was the new station manager and was "out".  Roz had the scoop and wanted to let Frasier know, but Frasier (as was his habit) began waxing  on and on about him, so Roz allowed Frasier to innocently set up a date with the guy.

The whole dinner -- with Frasier, Daphne (whom Frasier thought he was helping by setting her up with the station manager), Martin and Niles.   A very, very funny episode....and one in which Daphne had some fun with a strapless dress and a wired bra that was priceless.

I'm not sure if you mean Malcolm Gets as the guy everyone remembers.  He was the meticulous, fussy, curly-haired blond guy who Caroline hired to color her comic strips.  He, of course, was a "serious" artist and was always snooty-snoots over stuff.  They did develop his character to fall in love with Caroline...but to have another girlfriend, too., etc., etc.

I wasn't fond of either lead.  Love the neighbor, loved Lutes as the boyfriend, and loved "Charlie", the messenger guy usually on rollerblades.

Umm...DakotaCelt, you might want to listen to ANY other recording of Les Miz.  In my humble opinion (IMHO, in Internet lingo), the Broadway Marius is the worst of them all.  Otherwise, I love Judy Kuhn (who played Cossette...and BK recorded her solo album, which is wonderful) and the rest of the Broadway cast are very good.  

Also, there are actually two French recordings.  One is the original, original recording (usually listed as the "French Concept Album") from 1980 and the other is the subsequent Paris cast recording from 1991.  I'd read that when they were creating the original London production in 1985, about one-third of the English lyrics were direct translations of the French concept version, one-third were freely adapted and one-third were newly written.  Every other version and translation since then was based on the London production's English lyrics and not the original, original "Frence concept" version.

My DH was out on a walk this evening. When he came home a few minutes ago, he asked if I was up to some visitors. He said that Mae-Ling and Wae-Ling were outside and they were asking to say hello to "Miss Loe-ah." I went out to say hello, and they were overjoyed to see me. We looked at the chrysalis and the chalk drawings, and I told them they could come to help plant the last six flowers in the butterfly garden. Then I sent them home with Mr. Goldstein for supper.

I needed that.

What's for dinner tonight, DR S. Woody White?

And, more importantly:  what time should we arrive?
Uh... we went out for dinner.

The original plan was to go to Partners (http://www.partners-bistro.com/), one of our favorite local watering holes/restaurants.  But, this being February/March, it's also the time that a lot of Rehoboth places close up shop for a bit, take a vacation and get away from the lousy weather.  And that's what Bill and Gene of Partners has done.

So, we opted for a back-up plan, and headed back up the highway to Las Toltecas (http://www.lastoltecas.com/), the better of the local Mexican restaurants.  It's actually part of a chain, but at least we've some reliance of the food being reliable and authentic - the staff all speaks English as a second language, Spanish as their first.  (At the biggest competition among Mexican restaurants around here, Dos Locos (http://www.rehoboth.com/doslocos/), the one time we bothered going our waitress was Sweedish!  And der Brucer found the food so lacking in flavor that he had to add Tabasco to the beans twice!)

So der B feasted on a chimichanga and I had four enchiladas (one each chicken, beef, cheese, and beans).  I am feeling quite stuffed and satisfied right now.

Animal Planet had a show about BORN FREE....and came up with a factoid I knew at one time, but had forgotten.

One of the cats playing grown up Elsa had broken actress Virginia McKenna's leg during the "rehearsal" phase, and shooting was delayed almost a month.  That was a dangerous movie to make.

And I am sad that I forgot to mention it when we were talking about movie/TV animals!  The fabulous John Barry score was a big help.  One of my favorite soundtrack albums as well.

When I was in middle school (I think), the heating element the oven in my parents' house melted! :o My parents didn't know how that could've happened, until they realized that when my mom (who never read directions ::)) used the self-cleaning feature, she put it on the highest temperature and left it on for the longest amount of time.  It just eventually burned through the metal of the heating element and they had to have it replaced.  My dad found the instruction manual and they read about how the settings should be set.  They never had another problem.

Reading directions often makes a difference.  This is the 3rd winter we have had our SUV but it took this last big snow storm, & me almost going into a ditch…(not really, Keith had to drive the road before believing I wasn’t at fault  ::))….  to read the section in the manual about driving in slushy snow.  Once he turned off the tracking system & only drove in 4 wheel drive it made a big difference, enough so he could drive the road again.  Notice I said he, no way was I driving it again. ;D

Singdaw-Sherlock is a 7 month old Bernese Mountain Dog.  I will see if I can post a photo from this laptop.  If not I will have to wait until Keith is off the main computer.

Cilla-Sherlock isn’t any better.  There don’t seem to be any pressure points that hurt.  When he first gets up it is more obvious, he kind of bobs his head & walks funny.  Keith read the head is down on the sound leg & up on the injured side.  Until we read that we thought it was the left leg, now we think it is the right side that has something wrong.

RE oven cleaning - at least I don't have to do it the old-fashioned way, spreading newspapers all over the floor, spraying Easy-Off inside the oven, then crawling inside to wipe off all that gunk!

Years (and I mean, y-e-a-r-s) ago, in the early rehearsal stages of a show DR Elmore was directing he had all the cast members do pantomime improvs (girls, a household chore; guys, a sport or game).  Mine was cleaning the oven, the old fashioned way.  Nobody guessed what I was doing until I gagged and coughed.

When I first began posting here I had 4 cats and 1 dog.  I said I was never getting a pet again.  My friends didn’t believe me, especially not getting a cat again.  Sherlock likes cats so we can always get one in the future.  I always knew I would get a dog again for Keith, just like I did the last time when I said no more dogs.

Pet photos are a must here.  I will be expecting some in the near future.

The guinea pig is named Truffle.

Adriana we almost got a chocolate lab.  Labs are much easier to groom it would have been the sensible thing to do.

Our last dog was a Bernese Mountain Dog.  She was so smart & wonderful we couldn't resist staying with the breed. She was just exceptionally small for the breed & just once we wanted a really large dog.  We were tempted to get a Newfoundland or a Mastiff.

[/size]








well, it was underwhelming.  Yeah, sure, that the juice from the berries (and that's what they are) contains a lot more of their goodness fresh, as opposed to pasteurized, that makes sense, but pasteurization ruins the flavors of lots of stuff.

And using the juice, reduced to a "molasses", makes a great glaze on a roast leg of lamb, that makes sense.

But most of the show lacked his usual pizazz.

Oh, bother.

As for the IDOL women, once again Melinda Doolittle showed herself the class act of the group with a sassy and charisma-filled "I'm a Woman." She is a performer to her toes, and I adore her.

LaKisha had the second best vocal of the night, but third place for me this week was Jordin whom I really enjoyed.

For almost everyone else, I think nerves were playing a bit of a number on their heads and throats because several pushed for power and ended up singing flat (Gina, Sabrina). Some just sing flat naturally (Antonella).

I will be shocked if Antonella doesn't get bounced this week, but if she doesn't, I think Haley and Gina might be leaving. I think Haley is definitely going though she didn't do badly tonight, just is fairly forgettable.

CROSSING JORDAN had two cases tonight, one of which was unbelievably boring (looking at a past case of Bugg's where he made a misdiagnosis) and the other reasonably exciting (a serial killer who taunts Nigel on his blog) but in the end fairly predictable.

I read that Jerry O'Connell has been cast in a pilot for next season, so that doesn't auger well for CROSSING JORDAN staying around for a seventh season.

Very contrived.

I need to read some reviews of the Blu-ray to make sure it's going to be sharper and a bit more colorful than that if I'm going to trade up.

Eric had a wonderful guest appearance on "Frasier" before he began co-starring on "Caroline in the city".  He was the new station manager and was "out".  Roz had the scoop and wanted to let Frasier know, but Frasier (as was his habit) began waxing  on and on about him, so Roz allowed Frasier to innocently set up a date with the guy.

The whole dinner -- with Frasier, Daphne (whom Frasier thought he was helping by setting her up with the station manager), Martin and Niles.   A very, very funny episode....and one in which Daphne had some fun with a strapless dress and a wired bra that was priceless.

I'm not sure if you mean Malcolm Gets as the guy everyone remembers.  He was the meticulous, fussy, curly-haired blond guy who Caroline hired to color her comic strips.  He, of course, was a "serious" artist and was always snooty-snoots over stuff.  They did develop his character to fall in love with Caroline...but to have another girlfriend, too., etc., etc.

I wasn't fond of either lead.  Love the neighbor, loved Lutes as the boyfriend, and loved "Charlie", the messenger guy usually on rollerblades.

Wasn't there some kind of fuss or orther about the guy who played the messenger?  I seem to recall that he was thrown off the show after the first season.

Tiny (as opposed to extra-large) MEDIUM spoiler





MEDIUM had one of those episodes that filled me with sadness that things just can't work that way in real life.

Good afternoon to dear Esteemed, vexed, brilliant, and driven-mad BK --

When you were doing guest spots on some of the shows in the 70s, which show and studio had the best craft services and catering??  And what kinds of things did they have out?



To be honest, the craft services back then was non-existent - so I have no memories of any craft services tables until the 80s, and even then I avoided them like the plague.

S. Woody or der Brucer (can't remember which one asked) - I have very fond memories of the Merrily recording session.  My favorite is Vinnie thinking that Sondheim was the janitor (I put that anecdote in Rewind, a work of fiction).  I remember the sessions were grueling, but fun.  And I got Jonathan Tunick to change the button (last note) of Old Friend, because I didn't understand why it was a low button instead of a high button.  Sondheim was reading his NY Times when I said it, and after I'd spoken there was quiet in the room and Jonathan said, "Really?" and Sondheim's newspaper came down and he said, "Bruce is right."  I LOVED that!

... any craft services tables...

Having been to a BK signing, I assumed a "craft table" is where one found the cheese chunks.

Some reserach discovered:

This article holds the record for the most erroneous uses of "who" for "whom" in  one sentence:

So, you wanna hear all the gossip on a Hollywood film set? And I mean all the greasy, meaty dirty-deedy secrets? Everything from who's sleeping with who to who WANTS to sleep with who and who's sleeping with who right now can be overheard and found out at the table with all the snacks. Yes, that's right, the Craft Services table is the center of everything on a film set, sometimes more so than the actual set itself.
