Well, you've read the notes, the notes were Good and were written on a Saturday, and now it is time for you to post until the Good cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: TAWPIE!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
According to the weather the heat wave will be back tomorrow and go through Thursday or Friday. Ugh!!!
-
Good morning, all.
And that's about it from me. Very tired this morning. Wish I could crawl back to bed.

For Vixmom:
Yesterday we had a wonderful old-fashioned monsoon thunderstorm. It hit in the afternoon and poured rain for about a half hour.
Here is an article I found in the paper this morning:

re: Cillaliz and the AP story DR Cillaliz said:
It's an AP story. I don't think it's a big deal that I didn't return the call, but they put it in the article.
I totally agree with what others said last night. It give a misrespresentation of what happened. You didn't not return their call. To me that means that the person has no interest in responding. They called you late and didn't give you enough time to respond would be more accurate. :)
-
Hope the Irish friends of DR ELMORE are okay. That is a nice house in that picture. I misread the article - I thought it said the intruders were were baclavas.......
-
DR CILLA LIZ has not returned my call.
-
Very excited to see a photograph of MR BK's new poster. That's quite an acquisition.
-
I would loved to see Lawrence of Arabia in its 70mm glory. Other than an IMAX screen I don't believe there are many theaters left that can truly project and 70mm movie properly in all its glory.
When I last saw it in Montreal many years ago I knew there was only one cinema that could properly show it and it eventually did play there. In my opinion it as shown properly so much that the desert scenes showed the age of the screen it was being projected on.
-
Good morning, all! I am sleeping terribly, and I must say that I am not happy to learn that this week, which has me moving things from the McGlinnventory to Toyland and moving Toyland out of town are going to occur in another heat wave.
Last night, I trned off the lights at 10pm and was up and down, playing at the computer, until 2am. this is not good. Sp, today, I am doing ittle and working about the apartment. I'll finish watching the second season of MIRANDA and begin something else.
-
It was a good Saturday with rain and thnuder and glorious clouds scuddding across the sky.

In case I missed an early post
My Fair Lady in concert at Albert Hall. (Using the film orchestration)

-
Good morning, all.
Got back from Blobfest at 4 a.m. and had a solid 6-hour sleep, my first after 24 hours up and about since I actually woke up at 4 a.m. yesterday morning and couldn't properly get back to sleep, even with a huge day ahead of me. It turned out to be a great day. A Great Day on a Good Saturday. No thanks to the New Jersey Turnpike. But all is well, even with just those six hours sleep. Might catch a nap later, but fortunately, while I have much puttering and lots of ketchup to do, it will nevertheless be a day of welcome rest and recovery.

Interesting. Is this a new trend, or a trend that's trying to get off the ground, performing and/or re-recording film orchestrations for Broadway musicals? That's something of interest to me, even though there aren't that many of them I really love. DR Elmore had mentioned something about this the other day in regard to SHOW BOAT and a couple of others, that I'd meant to follow up on.
-
And the word of the day is: TAWPIE!
And The Song Of The Day Is: YOUNG AND FOOLISH
-
We watched the movie version of EVITA last night. I hadn't seen it for about 14 years.
I know that a lot of people don't like the film, but I think it's quite good.
-
Blob Fest.
I just like to say it.
-
Celeste Holm has died. I had heard from friends on pre-Broadway production of THE GRASS HARP in Michigan that she was the meanest lady in show biz. She was friendly, but eagle-eyed and wary, when I met her sometime between 1979 and 1981 at the Drama Book Shop. She was doing a regional production of LADY IN THE DARK in England and was looking for other Weill songs to interpolate into the production!

Madonna sucks. There's not one iota of acting in any of her vocals. Whether she's dying or winning an election, she's auto-tuned out of any sense of drama. And the stupid whore has the vanity to take over "Another suitcase In Another Hall" so she's the only woman on the soundtrack? What a pig.

I'm sorry to hear that. I just watched in "Champagne for Caesar" the other night. I think eagle-eyed and wary and both good descriptions of how she presented herself in her performances, too. That's why she's so good in "All About Eve," because she's sucked in even when she knows she should know better.

Time for a nap.

I could say more. She's an unpleasant lady, one more hostile ugly star who treats the public that made them one like garbage.

Post #25 on page 1 at 1:20 pm Eastern? Yikes.
-
I'll be back later to chime in on a few things.
-
I'm up, I'm up. A really good night's sleep with some odd dreams that I no longer remember. I was awakened at ten-thirty by a telephonic call from the East Coast Singer, who did her act last night at the Signature Theater cabaret space - completely sold out and apparently a huge success for her, so that's good. All the humor landed and they ate her up.
-
Page one?

Do I need to some something CONTROVERSIAL?

What can I say? We enjoyed the movie. Sue me!

Do I need to some something CONTROVERSIAL?
Are you asking advice? Why don't you write it, put it aside for about two hours, and then decide?
-
Do I need to some something CONTROVERSIAL?
I think I may have already done that for you.

DR CILLA LIZ has not returned my call.
I think you should open a PayPal dispute!

From DR Cilla:
The associated press called my office about a new client, but I wasn't there so I was mentioned as not returning their call, lolghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhcx\
that last line was Ricky walking across the keyboard
Cute Ricky.
When I read comments like this from now on I won't think avoidance was the reason the call wasn't returned.
-
Cilla, I'm glad you had a nice visit with your brother.

You listened to all four hours of this?
-
I kept thinking that MY FAIR LADY was going to be a video. I kept waiting for something to change on the screen.
-
We had a lot of wind and rain last night. Instead of 75 to 85 degrees, they are now forecasting 63 as the high today.

Cilla, I wish you would return their call.

How's Annalene as Liza? She's recording DEAREST ENEMY!
I haven't listened to much of it yet, but I was able to download it and convert it to a single four-hour MP3. :-\ The sound quality is pretty darned good, though...from the little bit that I checked.

You can play it on your computer, or someone who is more technically advanced than I am, can break it up into tracks and put them on regular CDs.
-
Well, I hate to do this TCB (no, really I do ;)), but I'm going to my sister's for her boyfriend's birthday. We went out to dinner on Wednesday, but the rest of the family will be there today.
Have a good day, all!

I was just going to ask (for another post) why you weren't at your sister's house or your parents' house.

George said he was leaving, but he is still lsited as being here. John said nothing, but he has left the room. And the 2 Guests have merged into 1.
-
Page three is an improvement, but it still isn't very good for one o'clock on the Left Coast.

Page Three?
I am watching Peyton Place on TCM.......Lorne Greene is the prosecutor who is trying to put Hope Lange in jail......

Jrand, no show on Sunday?

I am back. had a phone call. What did I miss other than driving people away?

Nothing. My ramblings. Nothing

Finishing up "Pennies from Heaven."

John, I forgot to ask where
your mother lives? does your mother live?
-
Need to get some info together for the publisher. Back in an hour. Sorry to leave you alone there, TCB.
-
Mom and Dad live in Louisville, which is where I grew up.

I am used to it. It is just like my apartment.

Louisville. But you also have a sister than lives in Germany? Or did I make that up?
-
There was just thunder and lightning here. Was waiting in the car for it to slow down, cause my umbrella was in the trunk!
I think it is stopped now.
-
It's going to be very humid here this week. So probably more thunderstorms too.

I went swimming. Luckily before the weather changed.

We've been under an excessive heat advisory for a couple days and no rain in sight.
-
I got 12 hours of sleep last night. I really needed it
-
A ferocious thunderstorm here, and it looks like more to come throughout the evening.
-
I don't know that I'll get a response from Mr. Sondheim - maybe it went in his spam folder. Don't care.
-
Musical director has been here. Waiting for one of our singers to pick up the chart for A Bacharach Love Story, which she'll be doing in the Kritzerland show - twenty-four pages long.
-
Then I'll go get something to eat.

The house is filled with the smell of cabbage and beer soup with plenty of ham in it. The aroma's quite wonderful.

I had had something like it in Prague, but that was made with sausage. this is just my version.

So, according to The Washington Post, "Bloomer Girl" was a musical about an underwear craze. Guess that whole Civil War thing was just a backdrop.
-
In case you can't tell, I don't want to get any work done.
-
Back from some chicken tenders. Think I'll watch the last of the Maria Wern movies in this set (there are three more that haven't been released on DVD yet). Then we'll see how I feel - maybe I'll then finish liner notes.

Lucky 100!

Yes, you may, if that was a serious question. Just click on the white icon on the left side of the image of Albert Hall and it will load and play just like any other program on the iPlayer.

Well, we watched GPB (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes). Nothing special, not bad, but not something I need to see again. Jane Russell's number with the Olympic team in the pool is the best thing in the movie. I got tired and annoyed with the whole Tiara thing, Lorelei/Marilyn's stupidity about whether or not she "owned" the tiara wore thin quickly.
-

I think George downloaded it and made an mp3 out of it so that so he could save it to his computer and listen to it any time he wants to. It will only be on the iPlayer until until 8:22PM on Sat, 21 Jul 2012 although the program will be repeated on Tuesday 17th July at 2pm (London time) and that will be on the iPlayer for another week.

Hello! It's been a lazy day for me. Right now I'm watching The Andy Griffith Show. I should do something useful.

Sunday evening greetings! We were back fairly early from Lima, but I just now turned on the computer. I've been dozing in my recliner for a couple of hours...
-
I just finished watching THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, which I hadn't seen in 10 years.
Great film. Holds up extremely well.
But, I don't understand how Gloria Grahame won an Oscar for that one.
She's very good...but an Oscar!?!
???
-
DR TCB - no show on Sunday. We did Sunday matinees for a couple of years and got about 60-80 people.....but we were NOT selling out our regular performances.....so I said....those matinees were really taking audiences away from our other performances.
Of course there were naysayers......but it hasn't made a difference in our total numbers to NOT do a matinee, and we save one night's royalty....and the actors get a rest.

We had a lot of wind and rain last night. Instead of 75 to 85 degrees, they are now forecasting 63 as the high today.

Brigitte is technically a half-sister, but I don't bother with such terms. She's my sister.

I can't imagine always stating half every time you mention your sister.

I see. Thank you. None of my business, but thank you.
I don't mind sharing. She's a great sister.
Lucky you!!!!

I just finished watching THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, which I hadn't seen in 10 years.
She's very good...but an Oscar!?!
???
That's how we felt about THE ARTIST last night.

Okay, so how do we download that MY FAIR LADY audio? I started listening and want to have it to go back to, and not on their schedule.
I cannot figure out what to do either, and I want to save it!

I must say, my leading lady for DEAREST ENEMY sounds quite lovely!

DR TCB - no show on Sunday. We did Sunday matinees for a couple of years and got about 60-80 people.....but we were NOT selling out our regular performances.....so I said....those matinees were really taking audiences away from our other performances.
Of course there were naysayers......but it hasn't made a difference in our total numbers to NOT do a matinee, and we save one night's royalty....and the actors get a rest.
Years ago, we used to do one matinee on either the second or third week of the run. Now we have matinees every Sunday of the run. One of our theaters does Saturday and Sunday matinees. Two shows on Saturday? I think that is a bit of overkill.

Ben says it will be there until July 22, so I suggest you all send George a very sweet PM.

And it will be rebroadcast on the 17th, so it will probably be available until July 24.

Still here, DR TCB. I've been working on our Netflix queue, putting things for me at the top. Richard is too busy to watch DVDs this week and then he'll be at the seminary in Wisconsin until Aug. 5.

Hi, DR Danise - how are your eyes?
-
I just finished walking 2 miles. I'm trying to work my way up to 5 a day with DR Ginny and my friend Leslie Sansong.

Hi, DR Danise - how are your eyes?
Much better thank you. My whole face is back down to normal.

I bought another lawn mower yesterday. The expensive one I bought with the key start isn't working and to heavy for me to lift into Bonnie. I have an electric but with the way the grass is growing I have to mow just about every other weekend and it's a royal pain to have to pull the electric cord everywhere. It catches on everything so I bought a very little, light mower but was going to have to put it together. I didn't do so well at that so I took it back to the store and then the lady tells me, oh, you could have put it on "will call" and we would assemble it FOR you.
Now understand, when I bought it I asked how much it would cost to have it assembled and was assured that it would be "easy" for me to do it. Well, it wasn't and I've been in a ticked off mood the rest of today because of it. Having the darn thing hit me in the head when I trying to put the handle on didn't help matters.
Anyway, they are going to assemble it for me and I can pick it up on Tuesday.
-
I hate when I'm not told the correct, or complete, info and waste by time. I hope once assembled you are very happy with the lawn mower.
-
I'm here.
Hello, Danise!

Hi Ginny! I think I will cancel Netflix.
-
I hate when I'm not told the correct, or complete, info and waste by time. I hope once assembled you are very happy with the lawn mower.
Me too. This one is only a 20 (want to say inch) but it's very light so if something goes wrong with it, I can take it to the repair shop.

I don't think I told you all that I think we won about the bus. They might cut it down to one trip each way a day but that's better than nothing.

I'm here.
Hello, Danise!
Hi TCB!
Have you heard anymore from Angie? From Anderson? He said on his program that they would follow up to make sure thiings happened. I wonder when they planned on following up?

But chocolate licorice is wonderful. This watermelon is really good as well, maybe just a hair below the chocolate but good all the same.

I need to go to Walmart to replenish my chocolate Twizzler supply.

Finished the last Maria Wern, which should simply have been titles And Then There Were None, or Ten Little Indians, since that's exactly what it is with the exact same ending twist as the Christie book. Well done, except for the truly idiotic behavior of the girls involved.

About to watch a Danish thriller - film, not TV. And then I have to begin thinking about an unpleasant e-mail I will eventually have to write - figuring out when and figuring out how. This has to do with the kid I worked with for the last year and a half and the completely odd behavior of her parents, which caused me to need a break from that amusement park ride. I'm sure they've somehow, to their child at least, made me the bad guy, but I've done nothing but try to be helpful to both daughter and family and have given his child not only the gift of a great act, but seventeen shows in a row where I have given her material to challenge and grow.
Today, they did her act in Palm Springs. According to the relentless Facebook posts of her mother, it played well. But since I have not received an apology or an explanation for their behavior (which basically was trying to do a 180 on someone who's been very good to them - it was baffling, and people who know both parties, after having been read the series of e-mails, all felt that I was being treated weirdly, poorly, and not being told the truth), I'm afraid that they've taken their last visit to land that is the title of the show, at least in its present incarnation. I control my writing, I control the title of the show, I control half the arrangements in the show, and I control the two songs of mine that she does - all of which I will not allow them to do. I know we were talking about New York, but I'm not letting it be done there without my supervision, and I don't feel like supervising anything right now. So, at some point soon, I'm going to have to write a very long e-mail, all thanks to off-putting behavior (at one point the mother said to me, "You're putting us on the defensive," to which I replied, "I'm putting YOU on the defensive?" Hilarious. So, I'm pondering exactly what the e-mail will say, and how best to phrase it while remaining completely calm.
-
The only advise I can offer is to write it but don't send it. Put it on the back burner for as long as you can and then take it out, reread it and go from there.

The My Fair Lady broadcasts cannot be "downloaded". I'm not sure what George meant when he said he downloaded the program. Also, it seems to me after looking at the BBC3 schedule that the program is, indeed, in two parts. If you look at the schedule (scroll down to 7pm)
BBC3 Schedule Saturday July 14 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/bbc_radio_three/20120714)
You will see a program at 7pm which says
BBC Proms - 2012 Season :
Prom 02 - My Fair Lady - Part 1
At 8:40pm you will see another listing which says
BBC Proms - 2012 Season :
Prom 02 - My Fair Lady - Part 2
So George may only have Part 1 even though he said it sounds complete. George go to the end of Part 1 and listen and then listen to Part 2 and see if there is material you don't have.
The broadcasts can be recorded as you listen to them if you have the appropriate software and depending on how you set up that software you can save the file as a wave or an mp3 file.
Or, as TCB mentioned, you can be very nice to Dear George and ask him for a copy either on CD or he can mail it to you as an mp3 file. He could put it on
SendSpace (http://www.sendspace.com/)
or some other file transfer site since it will probably be a big file. You can then download from there and have a copy all to yourself.

Thanks for the information, Ben!

How about the truth? They can't take control of intellectual property that doesn't belong to them. They would face the same with any other artist with whom they will work.

I think the idea is to say it as nicely as possible. ;)

I'm used to dogs that asks to go out to go potty & not a dog that waits to be told. Poor Yogi. I wonder how long he has been waiting to be told.

Hi everyone - sorry to be E&T this weekend. Lots of stuff going one, etc. I'll do my best to catch up.
Highlight of the weekend was that I just changed the pressure/temperature valve on my water heater. It was dripping. Now, it's not. I may consider a second career.
-
LOL DR Matthew.
-
'night
-
Great one, Matthew. Wish I had known that when my water heater when out. You might have been cheaper than what I had to pay. ;D
-
Watching "Lady Jane." Love the musical score and Helena Bonham Carter, but the movie really does look as if it had been filmed on no budget with costumes leftover from every other British historical drama ever made.
-
We have watched tonight's Inspector Lewis and now I'm going to bed - 'night!
-
Need to know more about intellectual property rights.

Just watched a pretty good Danish thriller called Kandidatan. Derivative but moved right along.

Night, all.

I really love The Newsroom. I actually cancelled my Netflix and got HBO. I've been DVRing all sorts of things. I'm really glad I did it

I think my brother may be getting out of the hospital tomorrow. Man I hope their car is working well. It's going to be 97 degrees out there.

For Vixmom:
Yesterday we had a wonderful old-fashioned monsoon thunderstorm. It hit in the afternoon and poured rain for about a half hour.
Here is an article I found in the paper this morning:

oh my !

Sorry to have been so E & T I have a million things that need doing before we head out for Canada and no time to do any of them so this week end was dedicated to Getting Things Done
-
Every spare minute will proabbly be used for the same - so please forgive me if I ma not round and about - you ar eall in my thoughts and prayers
-
Ginny 0 I keep meaning tro tell you Norwich is where Vixdad's Dad's family lived for generations - they moved during WWII when Vixdad's Dad's Dad was given a choice of joining the army or being a bus driver in Coventry ( they were considered equally hazardous occupations) - he chose to move the family to Coventry and drive the bus
-
well it is tomorrow and I have to be up in less than 5 hours so -
good night
-
Had an e-mail response from you-know-who. He did not recognize me, apparently - he knew I was there but was confused because it was such a big group. He was waiting for someone to call him Steve so he'd know. He apologized, so all is well.
-
So he did think you were one of the donor types when he saw you?
-
George said he was leaving, but he is still lsited as being here. John said nothing, but he has left the room. And the 2 Guests have merged into 1.
I never log out...I just close my browser and turn off my computer.

In case I missed an early post
My Fair Lady in concert at Albert Hall. (Using the film orchestration)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01kt5b2/BBC_Proms_2012_Season_Prom_02_My_Fair_Lady_Part_1/
Thanks for posting this! I wonder why it says "Part_1" when it seems to be the whole thing. Anyway, it's great!
How's Annalene as Liza? She's recording DEAREST ENEMY!
I haven't listened to much of it yet, but I was able to download it and convert it to a single four-hour MP3. :-\ The sound quality is pretty darned good, though...from the little bit that I checked.
I would have no idea what to do with an MP3.
You can play it on your computer, or someone who is more technically advanced than I am, can break it up into tracks and put them on regular CDs.
Ahhh. But can't I listen to it on my computer now?
Yes, you may, if that was a serious question. Just click on the white icon on the left side of the image of Albert Hall and it will load and play just like any other program on the iPlayer.
That is what I thought. That is why I didn't know why I wanted to make it an MP3.
I had to make it an MP3 so that I could keep it and play it at work. :)
-
Tom said,
That is what I thought. That is why I didn't know why I wanted to make it an MP3.
I think George downloaded it and made an mp3 out of it so that so he could save it to his computer and listen to it any time he wants to. It will only be on the iPlayer until until 8:22PM on Sat, 21 Jul 2012 although the program will be repeated on Tuesday 17th July at 2pm (London time) and that will be on the iPlayer for another week.
What Ben said. :D

Tack.

Bra.

Puss puss.

I wonder how one does what George did. Is it complicated?
I don't have one program that does it all, so it's kind of complicated, but because I've been doing it so long, I know what I'm doing. I also know that there are now easier ways to do all of this, but I don't want to learn something new...just yet. ;)
Anyway, several years ago, I bought Replay Media Catcher (http://applian.com/replay-media-catcher/index_youtube.php). This is a flash video recorder/downloader that can also capture some audio tracks. This actually captured the broadcast as a flash video file (.flv). I then use YouTube Downloader (http://youtubedownload.altervista.org/) (it's free) to convert the .flv file to an .mp3 file.
And it turns out that when I captured the first part, it actually got the whole thing...first act, intermission (interval) and second act, all together in one file. So, I didn't need to get the other parts separately. :)
-
Listening to the first of tomorrow's two titles - FUN! And SCARRRRRY!
-
I don't think I told you all that I think we won about the bus. They might cut it down to one trip each way a day but that's better than nothing.
Congrats, Danise!

I need to go to Walmart to replenish my chocolate Twizzler supply.
That's where I get mine too. The watermelon came from the dollar store.
Then you'd better buy out the stock...they probably won't have it for very long.

I actually have a Sendspace account, but it's a free account, which can only save/send individual files up to 300 MB in size (the minimum per month cost is $8.99). The "My Fair Lady" mp3 is 438 MB. I could put the whole thing on a CD-ROM and send it to you. It's one track, but it's the whole thing. :)
-
Okay, so how do we download that MY FAIR LADY audio? I started listening and want to have it to go back to, and not on their schedule.
I cannot figure out what to do either, and I want to save it!
ChasSmith, I could send you a copy, also.
-
And speaking of sending things...I realized (and finally accepted) that I have lost my list of various movies that I was going to send to people, so if you wanted the Tony Awards, 1776, the 1929 Show Boat or the 1951 Show Boat, PLEASE let me know again and I'll MAKE SURE that I don't lose my list. :-\
AND if anyone else want these even if you didn't indicate that before, I'll be happy to send them to you, too.
Apologies for the brain fart. ::)
