For example, I had to take a shower.

And soon I shall have to sup.

I took a shower and the next thing you know - page seven.

I can't seem to get through Isadora - things keep interrupting me.

That's what Mercedes da Acosta used to say.

I finished my first round of reviews today. Oy.

Does anyone know anything about some cable series called The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman? It's in my next pile, which should be arriving shortly before we leave on our vacation.

Speaking of which, we'll be in L.A. the weekend of August 10-11. I'm assuming BK will be gone to NYC. Any other Angelinos around then?

bk · « **Reply #185 on:** July 28, 2007, 05:49:15 PM »

No, I shall, in fact, be here. I return to LA the morning of the 9th and don't return to NY until the 22nd. I still need a sublet.

What?

I shall look at the Unseemly Trivia Question....but it seems difficult.

JMK will be glad to know that I've been filling in my Jobim collection. I had most of the major ones, but I got about six others on their way. Now, if there are any other orchestrally luscious ones by others I should get, let's hear the list - knowing that Terra Brasilis and Uburu are things I love.

bk · « **Reply #188 on:** July 28, 2007, 05:51:41 PM »

Will we never get to page eight? We'd better get us some frenzies or there will be a bitch-slap to remember, starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr.

I shall now go get something to eat, after which, I shall return and finish Isadora and one other film.

And it's a great itinerary: start in Vancouver, then down the West Coast with stops here and there, and ending up down in San Diego. It's a two-week cruise, and, right now, it fits in with my work schedule. However, it also overlaps with all the NYMF and HHW gatherings. So... I'm supposed to get the details sometime this weekend, and I guess I'll just go from there.

If you do take it, maybe we can meet you at one of your stops.

I forgot the most exciting FANTASTICKS news.....Luisa was 1 1/2 hours late to rehearsal on Thursday night, because she was stopped by the police and nearly arrested for failure to pay over $1000 in traffic fines.

Her license was suspended.

However the police did not hold her.

See my next post for the answer to "Why?"

Jrand73 · « **Reply #194 on:** July 28, 2007, 05:57:34 PM »

And this picture is not even as pretty as she really is.

No matter what the charge...

"You're free to go, miss."

Jrand73 · « **Reply #195 on:** July 28, 2007, 05:58:19 PM »

And to top it off, she is very talented and very nice. Killer combination.

Oh, and we went out for dinner Wednesday evening

LOL. I'm glad the kitchen didn't burn down

Have a lovely, restful vacation.

BK, you have seen my "wall o'Brasilian music," so I could make a list for you that would stretch to page 200 (your fondest dreams coming true, LOL). I'll repeat some of my favorite artists and then you can go to town on your own treasure hunt (you can't go wrong with any of these, though some will be more orchestrated in the Ogerman/Sebesky style):

Any of the Caymmi family:
"Papa" Dorival, who was Carmen Miranda's MD--more old style samba
son Dori Caymmi (I think you would love Dori, he wrote "Like a Lover" among many others)
daughter Nana Caymmi (very, very low alto, haunting voice)
son Danilo Caymmi (is on a lot of the late Jobim albums, wrote "Brasil Nativo")

Marcos Valle (wrote a lot of the post-Jobim hits, like "Summer Samba")

Edu Lobo (absolutely incredible writer/guitarist, again post-Jobim, best known for tunes like "Casa Forte" and "Pra Dizer Adeus")

Milton Nascimento (quite possibly the most haunting singer/songwriter of the post-Jobim generation, too many classic tunes to list, though you might know the ones that Sarah Vaughan recorded)

Ivan Lins (the Gershwin of modern Brasilian music, and one of the most sophisticated songwriters of the past 25 years. Too many altered dominant sevenths to throw a stick at, LOL. You probably know his tune "The Island," but every album of his is exceptional).

OK that will keep you busy for a while.

Did they make her pay the fines before releasing her? How on earth did such a sweet girl get so many fines!

Good Evening!

Just back for a few minutes before heading out for a late showing of the "The Simpsons Movie".

Really nothing much to report. Oh...

I have not Jobim, but I did pick up an LP of THE HARRY SIMEONE CHORALE GOES POP...

I do not know the answers to these questions...my guess to the first is NO....and my guess to the second is living in Bloomington and lots of family and friends in Greencastle.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #204 on:** July 28, 2007, 06:48:58 PM »

Did Jobim ever do an album with Marcy?

I did come across Bis Co. over on 10th Avenue this afternoon whilst walking around. The store just got a write-up in the NY Times. They specialize in biscotti - the proprietor/baker makes about 16 varieties at a time. Some of them are even savory. Today's selection - well, my selection at least: Black Pepper-Marsala-Sesame Seed, Mango-Cashew-Coconut, Lemon-Pignoli, and Chocolate Chip-Macadamia-Chocolate. All quite good, and only $0.85 each! Quite the delicious bargain.

*She also has samples of all her varieties available for sampling. OH! And she also makes gelato too. I sampled the Peanut Butter and Jelly Gelato. Soooo good! Maybe next time I'll have more than just a small spoonful.

And I finally bought Michael Chabon's latest book, and even read a few chapters while sitting in Columbus Circle by the fountains. So far, so good.

Jane · « **Reply #207 on:** July 28, 2007, 06:50:14 PM »

Jose, I'm very curious about the stops on the cruise. I browsed a few cruises from Vancouver to San Diego & non of them stopped a reasonable distance from us.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #208 on:** July 28, 2007, 06:50:24 PM »

OK - Time for me to head back to midtown for my movie.

Laters...

Alas, the Seattle stopped was changed to Astoria, OR. I think that's near DR MBarnum, but I'm not sure how close that is to you. If you click HERE, you'll see the itinerary.
