LOL! Cactus Flower is my buddy Mark's favorite movie.

Yes, James Best is quite good in THE KILLER SHREWS...I wonder how he feels about that film? LOL! Personally I have always loved it.

So who decides what order the songs are put on the LP? I mean, when it's not a soundtrack or cast album?

Would it be the singer, the A/R guy, the producer....some albums flow....some jolt and bolt along....

Anybody have any favorite album flows?

I really love the Neil Diamond....Soulimon album....now I can't remember the name of it....it has Sweet Caroline on it.....

Neil Diamond! Damn....now I have to find it a play it!

I think I might like it better if I could understand ONE WORD that that Swedish girl is saying.

Hmmm...I wonder how Ingrid Goude managed to get top billing?

JRAnd56, you and I were probably the only two people who ever even cared about what she said....

Rehearsal went pretty well tonight. Director's father was having surgery, so I was in charge....and I was CHARLES IN CHARGE....

It is now running like a clock....well more like a sundial....but everyone knows what he/she should be doing now. I also told them that we paid royalties on the whole play so they weren't saving us any money by not saying ALL the lines.

Bet the producer could answer that.

DR MBARNUM....the hotel where Allison and the director and Forrest Tucker stayed in San Juan was the Caribe Hilton which is featured in THE LAST WOMAN ON EARTH.

Funny to watch that movie and imagine that Miss Allison Hayes and Mr Bill Crispel probably had a few dinners there....and a couple of drinks....although Mary Jane did not DRINK....

Wednesday here.....Senior Day at Goodwill....30% off....I need to find some shoes for Mayella Euell. That girl is like Caldonia - she wears size 10!

Back from doing what are hopefully the final fixes - we checked the two final stories after doing the corrections, and they seemed to be fine. We printed out one full copy and I'll give that the once over all day tomorrow - then I have to write the dedication and the acknowledgment pages, and then we'll send the book off on Friday. Very exciting.

We also went out afterwards and I must say we had an absolute yummilicious dinner at Hamburger Hamlet. More about that in the notes.

TOD: I have no memories of record stores.

Well...tomorrow afternoon, I'm meeting with my realtor and I'm going to make an actual, offical offer on a condominium! I'm hoping that what I offer is enough...it's, of course, less than what they're asking, but it hasn't sold in three months. Hopefully that'll be an incentive for them to accept the offer. $:-\$

And why are so darned many forms?? Why can't I just sign one form for everything and be done with it all??

George · « **Reply #163 on:** August 29, 2006, 10:56:11 PM »

Talk about being nervous! All the questions...all the questions that I don't even know to ask!!

And with that, I'm off to bed (much earlier than usual). I need to get to work real early and I'd like a fighting chance.

Good night, all!

My vinyl experience comes from when I was a kid. We always had records about and I loved rebelling against my mother's fixation with Patsy Cline....

We did not really have record stores so to speak in our area until the mid 1980s in the part of ND where I grew up. You could usually get records at Alcoa or Kmart. The first album I bought was {oh god I am embarrassed about this} was Rick Springfield. However, my taste did improve and I got a number of movie soundtracks and browsed other artists.

I was more into tapes for they were more readily accessible in this area.

One nice thing about the old records stores, you had a far better variety of stuff than you find in stores with CDs today.

Hmmm discovered folk, classical and world music through records... I even have a first pressing of the CHieftains, released in 1963 on the Claddagh label.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #167 on:** August 30, 2006, 12:05:29 AM »

Listening booths in this area are a rather new occurrence. Neither RecordShop in GrandForks nor Popplers had them. However, when Recordtown came into the area some years ago they did have stations for sampling CDs.

I did get a curious album from a friend of mine who used to live in Ireland. It is a recording of Pope John Paul II surrounding his visit to Ireland in 1979. It even has the Chieftains on it.

When I was in the Seattle area some years ago visiting rellies, their was a store called Galway Traders that had CDs and a freindly cat. It was a neat shop.

I love Puss n Books in Redmond.

George, it is called ego and that is why you have to sign the forms!!

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #171 on:** August 30, 2006, 12:12:12 AM »

THere is a store, and for the life of me I cannot remember the name of it, in St. Paul that used to sell used books and older LPs... It was a FUN store to browse and explore. My friend Katie and I spent three hours in there one day. You could even pop an LP on the turntable and have some interesting tunes floating through the air while you browsed. However, I draw the line at BARNEY!!!

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #172 on:** August 30, 2006, 12:12:59 AM »

One of my first classical music LPs, was James Galway. I also was into Canadian Brass for a while.

I am glad I went back and looked at this closer. I had just flipped through some of the posts and I misread it...

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #176 on:** August 30, 2006, 12:21:37 AM »

I have a very eclectic music collection ranging from Classical to rock... Variety tends to lead to exploration. I like to try different genres. I do have to say, i have become hooked on Sondhiem and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
