This is not a test... This is not a test...

This is really Page 5...

And it happened just past 5:00AM EST...

I repeat...

This is not a test.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #121 on:** January 07, 2005, 02:02:38 AM »

OK...

So the question is...

Nytol or Vivarin?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #122 on:** January 07, 2005, 02:04:13 AM »

WOW! BK - I know I stay up late... even this seems late for you... Do you have drive yourself anywhere tomorrow? Any appointments besides Mr. Mac Man?

-Don't forget to set your alarm. *And there's an alarm feature on the Mac - just click on the clock/time display.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #123 on:** January 07, 2005, 02:05:45 AM »

oohh... I wonder if BK did faaaaaade away.... ??

In any case...

As I've been saying for the past three hours...

Goodnight.

-Something tells me I should adjust my alarm - No need for it to go off at 8:00AM this morning now...

Nytol. Mr. Mac Man doesn't get here till two. Until then, I'm on my own.

Good morning, all! When I logged on and found 120+ postings for today, I fell down! I don't know where I landed on the Richter scale, but we lost several trees in Central Park.

So, how did we end up with a zillion posts last night? Is some sort of astronomical, astrological or meteorological phenomenon happening in the West Coast atmosphere?

DRJose, I have the full score for the Russell Bennett "Suite of Old American Dances" in its full orchestral version, which has never been recorded. I have a recording of the band version, performed by the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music concert band, I believe. I don't think the old Frederick Fennell/Eastman Wind Ensemble recording is on CD yet from Mercury.

Didn't Arleen Auger have a beautiful voice? She died far too young. I may have to pull some of her CDs.

Dear Friend BK, if you come back for a reading at The Drama Book Shop, I most likely won't make the event, but I do look forward to seeing you in the City.

TOD:
CD: right now I'm listening to Ron Raines singing Jerome Kern
JEEPERS CREEPERS
CIMAROSA: IL MATRIMONIO SEGRETO (with Arleen Auger)
DVD: I've still got DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS waiting as well as THE MASK OF FU MANCHU which DRMichael Barnum burned for me
VHS: Nada

DRANN - I think the "bro" is a joke from the SEINFELD show - a cursory search on the internet shows NO SUCH actual garment, although there is a white upper support garment sold for men in sports.

My sister and I demonstrated BOTH the limbo and the mashed potato on television!

Ben · « **Reply #127 on:** January 07, 2005, 05:03:23 AM »

Oh, my, what a surprise to find 125 plus posts and it was not even 7:30am. It took me this long to get caught up.

Right now I'm listening to Malcolm Laycock on BBC Radio 2. No CDs yet and I don't know what I'll listen to yet. I may go back to BBC and catch up on some of the shows I missed while away.

We will watch DR Larry's DVD copy of What If this weekend.

Anthony is also watching Prime Suspect episodes in fits and starts. Since I go to bed earlier (sometimes) and sleep much more soundly than him, he often gets up and watches a video while I am asleep.

We had a wonderful meeting with my cousin from Sheffield last night. Went much longer than I thought it would. Even though we've never met, we talked for hours. One of his aunts even remembers my father who was in England during WWII. He was able to look up relatives in Sheffield (where my grandmother, his mother, came from) and spent a few days with them. I think all the other relatives from that time have passed away but she remembers my father's visit. She must have been a young child at the time. Ray (my cousin) is a great guy and it was a real treat to meet him.

Another New York reading and signing? Wonderful!!! This time I can attend and even go to Joe Allen's afterward (if that would be the plan).

I must be off to work. I feel it will be a record day for HHW (or at least close to a record).

What the--? Did I oversleep twelve hours? Page Five at 8:20 in the morning?

I guess those kids stayed up all night drinking Redbulls!

td · « **Reply #129 on:** January 07, 2005, 05:31:18 AM »

I walked the dogs. I fed the dogs breakfast. I poured myself a cuppa joe. I log on and what do I see? Five pages of posts staring at me!

media:
DVDS last watched: TROY, L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, THE LION KING

CD PLAYER: ELLA SINGS BROADWAY, LATTER DAYS SOUNDTRACK.

Wow 5 pages and 128 posting by 8:30am est! This just might be a record breaking day.

And talking about Bruce in a bra

Update on my listening pleasure. I will be migrating to Donald's Best of 2004 show as soon as I post this.

Bye.

While we're all waiting for our cones and rods to function properly again, I'll present my Media Check:

CD Player (at home): Berlin to Broadway with Kurt Weill -- this is a copy I burnt from my vinyl LP of the show. I don't think they ever released it on CD.

CD Player (at work): I am about to listen to Martin Charnin's Upstairs at O'Neals. I wasn't crazy about this the first time I played it but I'm going to give it another try.

DVD Player: Disk Three of The Dean Martin Show. Funny and wonderful stuff.

VHS: The String Band segment of this year's Mummer's Parade.

Kerry · « **Reply #135 on:** January 07, 2005, 06:23:33 AM »

Good Morning, Ben and Bruce.

CD's: Kristin Chenowith and Peter Cincotti-- no not singing together

DVD-- Second Season of Soap with "Brief Encounter," "Shop Around the Corner," and "Celluloid Closet" waiting in the wings.

VCR- Still "Occurrence at Owl Creeek Bridge" I need to tape the song which has gone through my head off and on since I saw the thing the first time in 1965 or so..
"I see the trees, I hear the [something]......"

Well, I've been in the middle of a snowstorm and my car doesn't warm up enough by the time I get to rehearsal to listen to anything in the cd player. But, if I had a cd in there, it would be Applause. I have no time for DVD's right now. Hopefully will after we open and then I will rejoin Netflix.

Hmmm... I wonder if I sent Mr. Kevin Spirtas some cookies if he'd be my slave for life.

I just logged on this morning and I don't know what the hell is going on!!

If someone sent me Mr. Kevin Spirtas I'd be their slave for life

or his

does he limbo?

or wear a bra?

td · « **Reply #139 on:** January 07, 2005, 06:57:51 AM »

Doris Day limbos.

Matt H. · « **Reply #140 on:** January 07, 2005, 07:01:58 AM »

No bra ever for me either. When I played Greta in BENT, the dress had cleavage sewn into it. Greta's breasts were made of birdseed. Yep!

Friday Media Check:

ON THE ROAD with Hope and Crosby (soundtracks to the first five ROAD pictures)

DVD - COLLATERAL
STAR TREK - Season 1 - episode #7

DVR - last night's WILL & GRACE and WiTHOUT A TRACE

Matt H. · « **Reply #142 on:** January 07, 2005, 07:08:17 AM »

If I remember correctly, I voted for THE LETTER and KING SOLOMON'S MINES for sure and probably RANDOM HARVEST, but I remember not being thrilled with the alternatives either.

MBarnum · « **Reply #143 on:** January 07, 2005, 07:09:33 AM »

Wow, what a partay of posts last night/this morning! I missed out!

Boy, Jose, I so wish I was not diabetic...those cookies sound delicious!!

Matt H. · « **Reply #144 on:** January 07, 2005, 07:09:59 AM »

Yes, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw how many messages were waiting to be read after reading today's notes. Amazing!
