Well, you've read the notes, the notes had craft, and now it is time for you to post until the crafty cows come home - they're currently having some Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, which is their favorite kind of Kraft.

Good morning, all! I slept well until around 3:30am, when the Bartender Above Me returned home. I dont know if he was moving furniture, having sex or having a party, but there was a lot of noise coming from the celing above me. He's usually pretty quiet, so I'm not going to kick up a storm or rage to the landlord, but at 4:11 when i checked the time, i was not happy.

This morning, I have another meeting at the McGlinnventory to pick up some music. Following that, I'm back here for more writing and a phone call to the Man From Philadelphia. We've gpt to get these liner notes coordinated.

I looked up the new musical, "South Street." I was amazed that the otchestrator gets top billing on the ad! I should have been so lucky!

I look forward to seeing South Street on the tour list for Phoenix shortly.

Just a hypothesis, because i couldn't "slant rhyme" effectively for an entire song; it's just not something I have the ability to do - With New York City still being the ultimate goal of almost every American theater lyricist, and with the Tony voters and New York City critics as a body caring not a whit (or wit) about true vs. slant rhyming, isn't the battle over and the anti-slant folks seem to have lost?

Seems to me doing REALLY EFFECTIVE slant rhyming, as the Book of Mormon writers do, is an art that requires talent and instinct and a strong narrative and book, and effective music, to make work. I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing a proliferation of slant-rhyming dictionaries to rival the real-rhyming dictionaries. I don't have to like it, none of us have to like it, but the NYC critics and Tony voters and audiences seem to "has spoken" - if the book works, and the music works, and the slant rhyming is effective and doesn't draw you out of what's onstage, at least for now true rhyming doesn't matter to them.

So people are finding items that are worth $100 or more at the tables at the Flea market for like $1 or less - on the one hand, some may argue why shouldn't BCEFA be getting the real value for those items, but it seems the prospect of prospecting for such things is part of what makes the Flea market such an attraction and great success. So likely more attention and money is made overall by a loss of some money on a stray item here and there.

False rhymes or slant rhymes, as DR FJL says, don't necessarily take me out of the show or song.....but I think sometimes it makes the singer sound dumb.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 26, 2011, 06:23:23 AM »

Like when two singers sing a reprise of a verse and they have to both sing "you" and "me" at the end of it at the same time.

I did watch the letterbox version of BACK STREET last night - which was nice.....so I did not see PAN AM, which I am sure will be repeated within a month or so.......

I never thought of it that way, but something worth thinking about

Jrand73 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 26, 2011, 06:26:36 AM »

Disney movie songs.....most of mine are from the classic era......

Summer Magic and many other songs from that movie......

Most of the more recent ones seem to be manufactured rather than written.....I HATE THE LION KING, thank you....and especially MULAN and HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME or whatever it was called. My not caring started at about the time of JUNGLE BOOK and SWORD IN THE STONE......

Some of the songs from THE LITTLE MERMAID are nice.....but not as choreographed by Debbie Allen.

DR Jane, re: your comments about eating before exercising.

Have you ever tried eating 1-2 hours before? I didn't mean to say i could just eat and exercise right after. No i usually wait at least an hour.

But i could not exercise in the morning without eating first. Like i said i would not have enough energy to do it.

If i swim i eat 2 hours before. Biking at least 1 hour.

Jennifer · « **Reply #18 on:** September 26, 2011, 07:23:59 AM »

DR Jane i also really liked A gifted Man. Although i recommended it to my mom and she did not like it.

Did you or anyone watch Person of Interest? I'm not sure if i liked it. I love Ben from Lost. But not sure i liked this new show.

Jennifer · « **Reply #19 on:** September 26, 2011, 07:24:14 AM »

I also really like the RINGER. Not what i was expecting. But i like it.

Jennifer · « **Reply #20 on:** September 26, 2011, 07:30:27 AM »

I really liked The Amazing race last night. Already have some favorites.

Jennifer · « **Reply #21 on:** September 26, 2011, 07:32:43 AM »

DR Jane when you exercise is it first thing in the morning without any food in your body? Or do you just mean that you don't eat right before but that you've eaten something that day?

Like i said i could not exercise without anything in my stomach. Also it probably depends on how hard you work out. Just to do some minor exercises might not take that much energy. But also i can't imagine that it could be good for a person to exercise without anything in their body. I did actually try to bike once first thing in the morning on no food. ANd it was impossible. I was sluggish. And couldn't go very fast. It was not good!

Monday morning greetings! After sleeping 'til 9am, I've now had breakfast, read both newspapers, made some phone calls, and cleaned up the dry coffee grounds that I spilled into a kitchen drawer full of utensils. Maybe I should spill coffee grounds into ALL of my kitchen drawers...

bk · « **Reply #26 on:** September 26, 2011, 09:01:03 AM »

I am up. I got a call at eight-forty from the printer - he asked if he could wait to print our 100th release's packaging until next week - I said that was fine. And I think I'm going to make life much easier by saying that Nudie's CD will be our 99th release rather than Chitty, because then I'm two releases ahead and Chitty can come in six weeks or so, which will just make things easier rather than having to rush today and tomorrow doing everything for it - editing road map, liner notes and all that stuff. And since we're announcing the Nudie CD this week it makes sense.

bk · « **Reply #27 on:** September 26, 2011, 09:19:41 AM »

Listening to the master of our 100th release - I've alluded to this before as I've listened to all the source material as it came in - I'll be writing about the journey this album has been on the Kritzerland site, but it sounds so good now - gorgeous music and one of the composer's best scores.

bk · « **Reply #28 on:** September 26, 2011, 09:22:38 AM »

And isn't it funny that another label, knowing this was coming and would be our 100th release, moved up a release of their own by the same composer from the same era so they could get theirs out before ours. When I say glutting the market, this is precisely what I'm talking about. They have, oh, say maybe twenty other releases ready to go any one of which they could have done rather than doing this. Two labels have been playing this game with each other recently, with each trying to best the other with any number of Jerry Goldsmith reissues and you know what - as much as I love Mr. Goldsmith - enough.

I have hiking boots, snake boots, water shoes, sneakers, and black flats.

LOL, a woman with snake boots but no heels.

I have lots of shoes, most of which I rarely wear, I just don't rotate them by seasons.
