Well, you've read the notes, the notes were the best and had intentions, and now it is time for you to post until the best cows come home.

BK, I love the sound clips for Taras Bulba. Can't wait for the whole thing!

One shoe has dropped, which means nothing if you don't work in my office.

Well, I hope at least that it was a Soft Shoe. [ba-dum-bum]

ASK BK

I hope this is not too convoluted.

When searching cast recordings for possible reissues and looking at labels that may have produced a handful of recordings (Like Roulette's Show Girl, Mercury's All In Love, Mio International's Colette, Project 3's Minnie's Boys, Cry For Us All) or self produced (Angel by Gary Geld/Peter Udell) or labels that have been absorbed by other labels (MGM's Cradle Will Rock, ABC-Paramont's Cindy)

I wonder if this is the procedure that you go through.

Will there be enough interest in the title (How do you decide yea or nay. What are your parameters?}

and

1) Which label now owns the rights
2) If the rights are available
3) Are the masters available
4) Quality of said masters

Anything left out?

Just curious about the process you go through in deciding what you will release.

Good Morning, Good day! How are you this wonderful day?

elmore3003 · « **Reply #15 on:** September 16, 2009, 05:43:51 AM »

Good morning, all! I have a morning at Toyland, a trip to see Stephen Cole who is in rehearsals for his show THE ROAD TO QATAR, a stop at the Lincoln Plaza Cinema, and then a return to, hopefully (but who's holding their breath?), to repeaired bookcases. Tonight my friend Val from Barnes & Noble and I are seeng TAKING WOODSTOCK. That's my day.

I had a great meeting with the FINIAN'S RAINBOW copyist Brian yesterday. I like the personnel on the show quite a lot.

I remember seeing THE WIZARD OF OZ in a glorious new print on Memorial Day weekend, 1984, at the Metro at 100th and Broadway, when it was a good revival house. I don't even know if it's still a cinema today. That was my last viewing of the film.

Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now,
(C'mon baby, do the Lucubration!)
I know you'll get to like it
If you give it a chance now
(C'mon baby, do the Lucubration!)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your A B C's
So come on, come on,
Do the Lucubration with me!

Good morning!

It's a gray morning in anticipation of the upcoming rain we're supposed to have. It hasn't started yet, and it's still going to be in the 80s today. Right now, however, I have the windows open and the house airing out.

Matt H. · « **Reply #18 on:** September 16, 2009, 06:15:56 AM »

My therapist told me on Monday that it would be OK to start back in walking around my neighborhood for the exercise. (I get so awfully bored with the treadmill). I couldn't do it yesterday not knowing when the roofers would come, and I have to do it when it's cool. I won't walk if I end up dripping with sweat when it's over.

Anyway, I did my first walk in quite a while this morning, and even though I was exhausted when I got back and my calves were chiding me for my harsh treatment of them, it felt good and I'm hoping I'll be able to do it daily now (at least so far as the rain will allow. It's supposed to rain for the rest of the week.)

Today I start my next work project: MY NAME IS EARL - Season Four. I didn't watch this final season of the show last year, so I'm delighted now to catch up with it. It should take me two days to get through all the episodes and bonus fatures. There don't appear to be any commentaries, so that will speed things up considerably, too.

Matt H. · « **Reply #20 on:** September 16, 2009, 06:18:14 AM »

Looking forward to a new episode of GLEE tonight. That's all that's on my viewing calendar in terms of network TV today.

Last night I watched THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY on TCM. The first time I saw this picture years back, I hated it--I thought all of the characters were idiotic ninnies. But with repeated viewings, it's completely won me over and I now enjoy it for it's twisted, daffy and macabre humor. And I love that Bernard Herrmann score!

Good Morning!

Greetings from Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center!

I got up a little later than planned, but made it down to the Plaza by 7:45. And now I'm just waiting in my seat for the open rehearsal to begin.

Loved her in everything I ever saw her do, and I was SO thrilled for her when she won the Emmy for THE SNOOP SISTERS. I wish the show had been more of a popular hit because I really loved it. I was thinking of rewatching DANGEROUS LIAISONS last night, but ran out of time.

Matt H. · « **Reply #26 on:** September 16, 2009, 06:48:40 AM »

Now I guess I'll head downstairs, clean my bedroom, put linens in the laundry, and then do some leisure viewing waiting for lunchtime.

I didn't see DANGEROUS LIAISONS until she was dead, and I didn't know she'd done the film. It was such a thrill to see her in it. All we ever talked about was my obsession with 70 GIRLS 70!

I have the same problem with Charlotte's godmother Celia Weston; she'll tell me she's been off working on something but never know exactly what. I go to a movie and - shazam! - there she is!

I have the new re-recording of Ernest Gold's score for Exodus, and am looking forward to listening to it.

Girding my loins for the rest of the week: temple rehearsal tonight, church choir Thursday night, and then Rosh Hashanah on Friday night and Saturday. Sunday is church and/or second day of Rosh Hashanah; take your pick.

Odd that they are not playing in Manhattan. I would think they would attract a very large audience in Manhattan. I've never seen Wizard of Oz on a giant screen - only on TV.
