LOL....Goodnight, Irene was lovely. I don't think I had ever heard our official birthday version.

And Dance, Ballerina, Dance is actually a very sad little story that brought a tear to my eye.

A few of the songs I hadn't heard at all, that I recall. Hearts of Stone was great!!!

Wow! Nobody in that picture is looking at anybody else, but Roz has found the camera!

Thanks again for those track listings for Ben and Ant. DR Elmore.

Only #2 is a mystery now. I suspect from the "dialect" that it is from Novello's "Valley of Song"

Goodnight all.

Good night, Irene.

Are there any readers who are ardent fans of either Lanny Ross or Sophie Tucker?

Oh and thanks to all DR's for the continued support of Amanda....the campaign button was lovely, DR SINGDAW!

A friend of mine interviewed Sophie Tucker last week!

...actually, he interviewed a Miss Sophia Tucker for a job in his department. He said that she was neither red nor hot nor a mama. And her Microsoft Office skills weren't up to par, either.

Wow! And think of the time she's had to practice!!

I went away for the weekend so I didn't post. And I didn't have the opportunity to access a computer.

FOR TOD
I believe it had to be some theatrical or English class I took all those many years ago.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #47 on:** June 04, 2007, 05:57:29 AM »

Now I can't get that song out of my head:

I'm a red hot mama--
(Wahh, wahh, wah-wah!)
But I'm blue for you!

What's worse--it's the version from the PAL JOEY movie.

Dear DR Tomovoz - you will be the first to know!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #49 on:** June 04, 2007, 06:03:16 AM »

I love that song, DR DtM!! My first hearing of it was from the revival album that starred Harold Lang....although of course he didn't sing "That Terrific Rainbow...."

DR MATTH was writing about THAT TOUCH OF MINK yesterday.

Doris: I would love to go out with you some time, Mr Beasley. Oh, may I have my check please?

John Astin: Oh yes...here it is.

Doris: Thank you. As I was saying, I would love to go out with you some time, Mr Beasley - if I didn't find you so personally repulsive.

TOD:

It would have to be a tie between two college courses:

Intro to Music 101 - a survey of Western music literature from Gregorian Chant up through the present. It was geared for music majors in the Conservatory, so the teaching and resources were on a very high level. It also incorporated "labs" on how to use the library more effectively - and they were tailored to different "tracks," depending on your interests. Wow!

and

A drama course on Shakespeare. We had 5 actors from the Royal Shakespeare company in residence for the entire semester, and they worked with us extensively - leading up to scene performances and a program of song based on WS's texts. What fun!

I will have to ponder the TOD - but it was probably some choreography classes I took many years ago.

But it may have been my FIRST dance class even many-er years ago where the teacher began by saying....do everything in counts of 4. Three are not enough and five are too many. One Two Three Four. If you need a pickup or other beat in there say "and." One and Two and Three and Four and.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #53 on:** June 04, 2007, 06:16:19 AM »

I'm also pondering the TOD--I'm trying to decide what "rewarding" means to me.

singdaw · « **Reply #54 on:** June 04, 2007, 06:16:32 AM »

Oh, and how could I foget...

A two week summer workshop I did singing in a chorus conducted by Robert Shaw. The man was amazing and a total inspiration. I've never met anyone with so much charisma. He WILLED the forces to perform EXACTLY what he heard in his head, and to WANT to give him 200 percent. He also had an internal metronome - it was quite astonishing.

DR JoseSPiano - have you tried the new "street view" in Google maps to see what your neighborhood/building look like, up close and personal?

Also...

Is "Uncle Jojo" pronounced "Uncle Hoho"?

Or YoYo?

Good morning, all! DR Jose, come back soon! I've had no one to be mean and rotten to all weekend and you are missed!

I realized yesterday during the middle of my frustrations that the main reason for my unhappiness about the current office situation is partially my fault for assuming that my wonderful colleagues are of the same mind. The problems with this project stem from the fact that it's been without a person in charge since the FAT CONDUCTOR of limitless ego and limited abilities moved on to other projects and further IRS problems.

In our meetings last week about packing up, the sound system never came up and I never thought about suggesting it be packed at the last minute with all the projects I'm working on. Again, my assumption that we're all in agreement bit my butt. So, I'm an adult of sorts. I can take responsibility here.

Today, a bit of work around the apartment, then a trip to the orthopedist. After that, maybe more of the THERESE RAQUIN with Kate Nelligan that I began watching after COUSIN BETTE yesterday.

Robert Kane's Latin classes; the best teacher ever in undergrad and grad school. He was a Manhattan rich boy relocated to the midwest, and a regular theatre goer during his New York years, so he was always good for stories about what he'd seen. His favorite was the 1956 CANDIDE, which he'd seen on a Christmas break from school. When we read Plautus' MENAECHMI he made the class listen to Rodgers & Hart's BOYS FROM SYRACUSE and discuss THE COMEDY OF ERRORS.

My high school music teacher Helen Weinberger, who died last week, was another inspiration, as was my junior high school music teacher Valda Wilkerson, both amazing ladies who could do anything and both of whom I loved unconditionally.
