I was just wondering what happened to broadcaster and American Songbook maven Jonathan Schwartz.

Well, now I know. He was fired from WNYC in 2017 due to misconduct allegations. He was streaming for a while, and has now retired. I used to enjoy his show.

He was, of course, the son of composer Arthur Schwartz.

BK:  The one time I saw Mr. B.I.G. was when you and I did a quick walk-through at that convention (Monsterpalooza?) in Burbank during an HTF meet in October 2012. As I recall, he was standing around Joe Turkel's table, and I think you hadn't seen him in a while, and you were telling him you two must get together again and have another meal at Genghis Cohen.

I have most of his movies (on DVD, but I they might have appeared on Blu-ray by now), and I'll bet it's been nearly ten years since I watched them. It's time to revisit the favorites, including hearing that commentary again.

I would love to make a film called Commissary, so the home video release could have a commentary on the commissary.

I think the only banner I could valiantly unfurl in this one would be "Free Roxie" or some such.

They are on the loose in that city.

TOD:

The first B.I.G. movie I saw was The Beginning of the End - with the giant grasshoppers.

It was great!  And Peggie Castle had a telephone in her car!  And Peter Graves - I knew him from FURY on television.

I really REALLY like Earth vs. The Spider and I am fond of Village of the Giants.

BUT my very most absolute complete favorite is ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE.....the cast is so much fun and Mr John Hoyt is wonderful....and the songs are terrific!

SO there you are.  DR singdaw - you must of course see this film at once!

I visited the shelf with the Gordon films to see what I actually have, and I'd forgotten there were this many. Note the VHS copy of The Amazing Colossal Man, which was the only way I could find it.

DR Jrand72, your favorites are all good by me. The one movie I believe I never watched is The Magic Sword, and that shall be rectified posthaste.

Couldn't help but think of former DR MBarnum when I read the news last night.

Someone needs to find him and tell him to get his ass back here.

Okay, back to work.

I'm going through the score and making all of my notations readable.

And then I've got to warm up on the six (6) piano licks that need reviewing every bleeping time I play a rehearsal or performance. I'm very thankful that tonight is a rehearsal.
