Oh by the way, DR JoseSPiano - the Woodward/Newmans pass along their congratulations on your getting your hair cut yesterday!

Ah, that would explain the flowers I received this morning. The delivery man could not track down the card that was supposed to with them.

I'm up with my regular cat ritual...my oatmeal bowl-equivalent.

Kitty gets a bath every morning?

Surely they wouldn't begrudge you a bouquet of man-in-the-moon marigolds!

Today after work I'm heading down to J&R to purchase a pair of mid-priced binoculars for a friend's 50th birthday gift. He lost the binocs he usually uses (they are for theatre viewing when we are in the cheap seats) and he hinted he could use a new pair. Ask and ye shall receive (within reason that is).

They don't send you flowers..
They don't sing you love songs..

Perhaps with a gentle nudge from Sing and Jose I could get at least an e-mail congratulations.

But do you remember when...

Ben · « **Reply #101 on:** June 14, 2007, 08:18:22 AM »

I saw Old Acquaintance last night. It's a 1940 play by John Van Druten. They made it into a movie in 1943 starring Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins.

The show last night was pleasant. A standard 1940s Broadway play with three acts each about a half hour. The situations were a bit out of the ordinary for the time. One woman is a divorced single mother raising her daughter and being very successful. The other has had more than one affair and the writing is quite open about the fact that the affairs involved sexual relations. I've never seen the movie but I'm sure Mr. Hays made them change that part of the play. It was fun to see Harriet Harris on stage chewing the scenery. While I enjoyed myself I don't think the show will do much beyond it's limited Roundabout run. It was perfectly pleasant but nothing more. I don't think it's selling well either since it's on the half-price booth and TDF every day. Oh, well. A slow start to the new theatrical season.

Questions:

Do you know this house? Have you ever been there?
These ghosts...are they stranger ghosts or ghosts of people you once knew/loved.

The hallway "that wasn't always there"...VERY interesting. Are you imposing a hallway you always thought SHOULD have been there...or is it more a dramatic device your subconscious installed?

The trip to a mall by train....regular above-ground "traditional" train? More modern (i.e., fast rail)?

I think dreams are fascinating.

I envy you that one!

Why, DR RON, didn't know you were interested in dreams. I think of that as JRAND's territory. I don't know much about dream analysis, but welcome hearing yours--as well as JRAND's.

TOD - Faure's "Cantique de Jean Racine" and his "Requiem" (which I know is in Latin, but whatever.

Anything by Jaques Brel

And to stretch things even more, I love Susan Egan's "French Song" on her Coffee House CD. And I even like Maria Friedman's "Paris in the Rain" those are stretching the topic, I know!

I was actually thinking of John Van Druten and I REMEMBER MAMA yesterday when we were talking about Swedish meatballs.

Jeanne · « **Reply #108 on:** June 14, 2007, 08:34:28 AM »

Good morning, HHW!

I just dropped in for a moment, then got engrossed--as usual.

TOD:
I adore the soundtrack to THE CHORUS by Bruno Coulais. Enjoyed the film, but love, love, love the music.

I also enjoy the music of Saint-Saens, Ravel (other pieces more than the Bolero), and Faure. I recently heard a couple pieces by Francois Dompierre, who I believe is actually French-Canadian. I related instantly to his work.

There are others, but my brain isn't functioning well enough right now to recall them.

Much to do. Must go. Will be interested to hear the rest of today's TOD.

DR MICHAEL SHAYNE, do you know the work of Dompierre?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #109 on:** June 14, 2007, 08:39:53 AM »

OH!

DR Matthew - I know what you mean about trying to "play" mutli-piano pieces on one piano... Or something like that. And to tie it in to today's Topic...

I remember playing Saint-Saens "Variation on a Theme of Beethoven" in college with a studio-mate. There are a couple of variations where it's a call and answer between the two pianos/players, and practicing those sections "solo" was always kind of tricky. It was always much easier with the other piano/player to play off of.

The princess wakes me up for her treat, a bit of canned food that she sometimes doesn't even eat. She does this, I think to garner favor from the Queen, who wouldn't lower herself to actually ask for anything. She will not stop unitl I get up, and has some of the most annoying ways of making that happen. But she's so cute that I can't even get mad at her.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #111 on:** June 14, 2007, 08:41:07 AM »

She looks like this, but without the headphones and without doing a Stevie Wonder impersonation.

DR Matthew - I remember a Piano Festival Piece that came out a few years ago. It was a 2-Piano, 8-Hands arrangement of the "Theme from Bonanza". Quite simple technically, but oh so effective!

Actually, DR Jose, I'm recording each part into a 4 track mini disc player. Keeping it in time with each track has proven to be a challenge. Time to drag out the metronome and see if that helps.
