Good morning, all! I slept late, and my last memory of a dream is something about a party and cleaning up after  and finding a seat seat on a crowded bus.

I will finish the DEAREST ENEMY vocal score proof this morning, and then begin work on Jerome Kern's ROBERTA: I have  several numbers to create from orchestra parts, and stage band music to score, so that will occupy much of my next few weeks.

Last night I watched THE STINGIEST MAN IN TOWN, something I've wanted to see again since I saw it on Dec 23, 1956. It wasn't until Johnny Desmond was singing "The Birthday Party of the King" that I had a real deja vu that I had seen the original broadcast. While I do like much of the score, I find a lot of the lyrics,  like "There Is A Santa Claus," geared to a 1950s Americana and completely out of place in Dickensian London. Since I've always had this feeling about the soundtrack recording, it was confirmed by seeing the broadcast, which is a rather cutesy-poo adaptation. I liked Basil Rathbone a lot, and I enjoyed a few of the passing roster of actors and singers, like Robert Weede, Martyn Green, Patrice Munsel and Robert Wright.

I had a good time watching a live broadcast - I think it's live - and marveling at the blocking. Some of the camera work is sloppy, but that's expected in a live broadcast. Unfortunately the level of the material isn't as good as Rodgers & Hammerstein's  CINDERELLA, which maintains a much higher level of professionalism and sophistication. In the third act, a horrid ballet of lost souls seems not only pointless but disorganized and unnecessary.

TOD:
   DVD: there are some Netflix items sitting here
   CD:  new recording of THE FORTUNE TELLER, Guy Haines, LizCallaway
   VCR: at last, new porn!

I decided to tidy the apartment by putting things away, and now I've got the place in turmoil: it's like putting 20lbs of sausage in a 10lb bag.

At least I've got the show vocal and full scores shelved. I'm still lacking room on the compoers' shelves for all of the Offenbach scores I've accumulated. Since the Miami University Library no longwer will take my library of books, I have no idea of what I want to rid myself of. I need an intern to come in and put some volumes on eBay for me.

Good morning, all! I slept late, and my last memory of a dream is something about a party and cleaning up after  and finding a seat seat on a crowded bus.

I will finish the DEAREST ENEMY vocal score proof this morning, and then begin work on Jerome Kern's ROBERTA: I have  several numbers to create from orchestra parts, and stage band music to score, so that will occupy much of my next few weeks.

Last night I watched THE STINGIEST MAN IN TOWN, something I've wanted to see again since I saw it on Dec 23, 1956. It wasn't until Johnny Desmond was singing "The Birthday Party of the King" that I had a real deja vu that I had seen the original broadcast.

DR ELMORE the October 6-13, 1956, TV Guide says: "Johnny Desmond added to the cast of "Stingiest Man in Town" (formerly titled "The Happy Scrooge"). the Alcoa-sponsored spectacular Dec.23 on NBC."

And this:

DAVID SWIFT is adapting JOHN COLLIER'S well-known short story "Evening Primrose" as an NBC Spectacular.  EDDIE HEYWOOD is writing the theme music.

Please re-check the issue for an announcement of my birth.  :)

I didn't realize that ROSEMARY'S BABY was written in that year.

TOD:

CD - Not of this Earth a CD of music by Ronald Stein produced by MR BK

DVD - $3 Dvd that has 5 episodes from MARCUS WELBY MD - they seem pretty ancient now, but it was an interesting series that we watched almost every week.

I did too, but mostly to see Barbra's husband.

This morning Keith figured out how to get the car into neutral & out of the garage.  Then the tow truck arrived & the tow person easily charged the battery so Keith rushed down to the dealership.  A bit later I followed to pick him up as the car had to be left.

Keith keeps laughing at his shock when he couldn't find the battery.  It is funny we have had this car for for almost 5 years & never realized, or forgot, the battery was hidden.  Frustrations of the last two days aside, we are very happy with VW & would purchase from them again.

I still don't understand why Liz would do that.  It's Alex's arrangement, clearly, and it's close to Larry's orchestration.  Then again, she sang on a CD for a certain label just months after I'd left, so who knows why people do things.

Good evening.  It was a really long week.  I should be practicing for our concerts this weekend, but I left the music in the high school band room where we practice on Wednesday night.  I called first thing Thursday morning and it wasn't there, so someone in band probably picked it up.  Hopefully they will bring it to the concert tomorrow morning.   Tomorrow is really just playing easy Christmas carols for an event while wearing red and green and sant hats.  Yup, we're the band they pull out of the woodwork to do these silly things.   It's for the Little Yellow Dog auction.   Cute yellow lab this year.  It's all for charity so the dog usually goes for thousands of dollars.
