Well, you've read the notes, the notes had no blank pages, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they've been shooting blanks and having quite a good time doing so.

I wonder which song DRs have the most recorded version of in their collections.

I remember Michael Shayne compiling versions of "Send In The Clowns".

I've done Cds of Ebb Tide and Volare (for MBarnum) and more recently, "Begin the Beguine".

My next collection may be "The Shadow of Your Smile"

One of my very favourite songs of the twentieth century is "Misty" but there are surprisingly less versions than I would have thought. Perhaps you need a remarkable talent to sing it or compete with the Mathis, Vaughan and Garner versions. (The Ray Stevens one is cute though!)

I have a CD that Yip Harbug's son sent to me (his Harburg Foundation donated to both our films) which was a compilation of dozens of versions of "Brother, Can You Spare A Dime".

My favorite version of it wasn't on there, but it's by my favorite musician and all around mensch, Dave Brubeck. So beautiful!

And of course, I have quite a few versions of "The Internationale"!  ;)

I have dozens of copies of "Everybody's Talkin'"---it was part of a "Harry All Day" webcast on his birthday, featuring hours of songs related to Harry Nilsson. His coverage of others, or others covering his songs. (ET wasn't written by him, which suprises people.) Some of the songs are by amateurs but are surprisingly good.

My DH and I went to see Wilco at an outdoor venue tonight. We had good seats but not good enough to avoid the downpour and we bailed after about half an hour, after sitting thru an awful opening act.  Wilco sounded great but we were just sopping wet and had a long way to walk to even get to our car.

Now my allergies are kicking in after all that rain.

There were days, even just recently, when I would have stuck with it, but I wasn't a big enough fan, I guess.

Plus, the people in the first row decided to stand up, which mde the next row stand, and so on and so on. So I would have had to stand for the entire show to be able to see anything.

I wish people wouldn't do that!

Good morning, all! Another restless night. I was awakened around 6 AM by very strange dreams about nuns and demonic possession in Loudun in 1634, and this dream was the follow-up to one that woke me at 12:30 AM, something to do with the house where I grew up and its rather spooky cellar which terrified me all the years my family lived there.  

This morning I have a trek to Toyland; hopefully this on-again-off-again lease madness will resolve itself today.  I have a bit of rewriting on the editorial guidelines this morning with one of my colleagues. After that, NYPL and the neighboring pharmacy to refill a prescription. Tonight my friend Kirk and I are meeting for drinks or dinner, it seems uncertain at the moment.

I've done Cds of Ebb Tide and Volare (for MBarnum) and more recently, "Begin the Beguine".

My next collection may be "The Shadow of Your Smile"

A few years ago, I made a CD of about twenty different versions of "La Paloma" for my mother.  It was easier to do in those days of Napster and BearShare--you just searched for the title.  But since I eschew file sharing these days (too risky!), it's somewhat difficult to compile compilations.

Good morning all of you crazies and lovelies...

Yes it is early, and my suitcase is closed up.... Sugar is safely checked in at the "Doggie Hotel" at which she stays.... and I'm just checking over any last minute pieces of paper and stuff that I need for this trip.

And the wonderful and generous DR Laura is indeed already here, and I think (hopefully) taking some bird pictures in our neighborhood until it's time to leave.

Good morning, all! Another restless night. I was awakened around 6 AM by very strange dreams about nuns and demonic possession in Loudun in 1634, and this dream was the follow-up to one that woke me at 12:30 AM, something to do with the house where I grew up and its rather spooky cellar which terrified me all the years my family lived there.  


My, my, ELMORE,  a historical dream! You have I think the most colorful and interesting dreams of anyone I know (who chooses to tell, anyway).

Also, can see BK dressed as a woman in the army in "WACked Out!"

I have dozens of copies of "Everybody's Talkin'"---it was part of a "Harry All Day" webcast on his birthday, featuring hours of songs related to Harry Nilsson. His coverage of others, or others covering his songs. (ET wasn't written by him, which suprises people.) Some of the songs are by amateurs but are surprisingly good.

Harry of course wrote the song Davy Jones sings in that great HEAD sequence!

Today I'll be checking out the new release of DUBARRY WAS A LADY which I've read conflicting things about (the transfer, that is). I'll probably finish watching the GREY'S ANATOMY episodes on the third disc in the set.

I'll probably start on the TV series ACTION since there are only 13 episodes to view, some of which I have never seen.

And I'll watch another NANCY DREW film. It will probably be NANCY DREW, TROUBLE SHOOTER.

As someone who watches CSI: MIAMI. let me say that David Caruso must be endured (by far the weakest and most ridiculous link on the show), but the show itself features some good forensic-based plots and gorgeous cinematography.

You'd never guess from those hackneyed Caruso ham slices that the show is actually fairly high quality all around.

On June 11 I shipped a package to the UK, Dress Circle to be exact.  I got an e-mail from them this morning saying it hadn't arrived.  I went online and tracked the insured Global Priority package - it shows as having left LA the morning of the 12th.  After that - squat.  I got on the phone and finally got a "live person".  He told me the international tracking system was down and I'd have to call back later.  I told him the info I had and he told me, rather astonishingly, that Global Priority didn't provide day-to-day tracking and that the package takes four to ten days.  I told him that I was getting off the phone to save him from a proper harangue and that I'd be calling back later when the system is up to speak to a supervisor.

These stupid yokels raise their rates two years running and the services get WORSE?  Last package, which was shipped to Dress Circle via standard air post, certainly had day-to-day tracking line because I used it.  Now, packages of a certain wait automatically go Global Priority, which is supposed to be a better and faster service - uh huh.  Thankfully, the package is fully-insured, and I do hope they don't think I'll be waiting much longer to collect.

Hi folks!  I’m home and in-between tests.  Don’t get to close because I’m radioactive!  No joke—I was injected with some kind of radioactive material that needs time to work it’s way though my system and then I go back for more pictures.

I had to work the treadmill while I was there.  I’m pleased that I didn’t have to ask for them to stop the test.  I managed to walk, fast walk and then run through the whole ten minute test.

I have to go back in about an hour.  I stopped off at the bank to take care of a few things.

Oh and when I got home I had a bit of a surprise.  The Death Certificates finely came.  The rub is the envelope they were sent in was totally OPEN.  I ordered 7.  There was 6 inside.  Now the question is, did they send me the wrong amount or was one taken.

I called the funeral home to let them know because my paperwork said I definably ordered 7.  Now I’m worried.

I've done Cds of Ebb Tide and Volare (for MBarnum) and more recently, "Begin the Beguine".

My next collection may be "The Shadow of Your Smile"

I think it's a tie between "Love Changes Everything" and "With One Look".  A long time ago, compiling different versions of songs was exciting, now... well, not so much :)

I called the funeral home to let them know because my paperwork said I definably ordered 7.  Now I’m worried.


I'm thinking someone realized there were only six, left the envelope open until the seventh one was ready and that someone else mailed it thinking it was good to go.

I wish you all could have seen the “table/bed” I had to lay on while the x-ray machine went all around me.  If you could call it a “table/bed”.  It was more like a tube no top or sides just a long “table” with a “groove” down the middle of it.

No offense but I don’t honestly know how a heavy set person could have fit on it.  If you didn’t fit in the “groove”, you would be hanging over both sides.

I'm kind of surprised that they feature the handy-dandy pronounciation guide so prominently in their marketing.  I mean, if it becomes the typical Disney steamroller product of the summer, wouldn't you figure kids would learn to pronounce the title and not need the constant reminder?

I found this nice write up of Joan Ryan's latest Kritzerland release:

Finally, let me mention one contemporary singer – Joan Ryan – whose new disc is a pure delight with a mix of contemporary pop songs and show music: she opens with "Trust the Wind" and closes with a grand medley of "Follow Me" (from "Camelot") and the title song from "On a Clear Day…" In between, Ryan delivers smoothly and emotionally songs like "Shall We Dance?" and "My Brother in San Francisco." Again, this one is a treat and one I think you'll enjoy.

In preparation for the "big move" I was not looking forward to having to haul my "out of control" CD collection across country with me for the main reason that they are just too darned heavy.  So, I bought a 500 GB hard drive and have been uploading my entire collection.  During the run of Jekyll and Hyde, I began selling off "popular" titles to my fellow cast/orchestra people.  (after uploading them, of course) Recently, I started listing a few out of print titles on eBay (you can find my items if you do a seller search for "maestromatt") Basically, if you can't get it new on Amazon, I've decided to list it.  If you're interested, check it out.

I really want to apologize to TCB for the remark I made yesterday about "going blonde".  He suggested he might bleach his hair and take over the role of Louisa in "The Fantasticks."  I asked if, in his case, wouldn't he have to darken his hair to go blonde.

That was most insensitive of me.  I well remember how I felt when I found my first gray hair.  I knew right then that when I found another, I'd just dye!

Before I lay down for the nap, I watched about an hour of DUBARRY WAS A LADY. This MGM musical has never been a special favorite despite having great talent in it. I still find it fairly dull going.

While the transfer is good on average, there were those pesky color fluctuations again, especially during Zero Mostel's Charles Boyer impersonation and for a moment during Virginia O'Brien's number. Skelton hadn't begun his dream sequence yet, so I'll be curious to see how that looks.

Have finished rewriting patter and realize Joan still hasn't sent me the final two songs' rough patter - so scatterbrained.   We're rehearsing from three to five, so I shall shortly be on my way.

Transferred some more stuff, including James Horner's beautiful score to In Country.  Never released, it's one of his subdued, pretty Americana scores.  I'm not a huge fan of his, but he does this sort of score well.

Harvey Schmidt sent me the new 110 In The Shade CD - I don't think he's that enamored of it, and frankly neither am I.  I know people revere her as a goddess, but I'm in the "I don't get Audra" camp - she's perfectly okay and, for me, nothing more.  Obviously her voice is good, as is her range, but she does nothing for me emotionally, and that's a real problem with 110 In The Shade.  I don't like the reorchestrations at all, the Starbuck and File are lackluster, and the tempos and little changes are irksome.  So, it's the OBC all the way for me.

Well, I DO blame him for a lot of what's wrong with his character. He's turned the sunglasses-on, hands-on-hips, back out of the frame after punchline into his entire characterization. The writers have fed into his ego and delivered a role that's nothing but lame punchlines, and he hasn't demanded anything better.

I have to admit: the show can be very dramatic, very tense, but I find myself laughing just about any time Horatio (Caruso) is on the scene. He has destroyed any credbility for his character with me. Fortunately, the show is filled with more interesting characters than his.

Since I cleaned the den this morning, I at least have that chore taken care of.

I remember Mickey Rooney as Hortense in Sugar Babies (Robert Mrose on the tour that I saw in Boston).  She danced a little on her left leg.  Then she danced a little on her right leg.  And between her left leg and her right leg she made a fortune.

George, since I might not be around on Friday (company is coming on Saturday) I'm sending your parents early anniversary wishes.

I'm hoping their special day is a good luck charm.

Craig's girlfriend is flying from Bucharest to NY, and then from NY to Pittsburgh.  She has only flown once before & didn't care for it.  Craig was with her on that trip, this time she will be carrying the cat in a carry-on bag.  This isn't a sweet gentle cat, plus she has been crying very loudly since Craig and Yogi left ::)  At least on the first leg of the trip a Peace Corp friend of Craig’s will be with her. He will also help get her from Delta to Jet Blue for her flight to Craig.

Surprisingly I don't have that many versions of "Caravan".  The first one I purchased was by "Santo & Johnny" on an E.P. with the theme from "Come September". The S & J version was a much bigger seller here than Bobby Darin's version thought Darren  did make it to #2 with "Multiplication" from the same movie.

And That Reminds Me (A Della Reese reference)

The S & J E.P. also included "Blue Moon".  I guess I would have quite a few versions of that.

Good Evening!

What a nice treat is was playing through the score for A Chorus Line on a real piano (again)!  Even if it was a sort of rickety upright with a few sticking keys.  It was just so nice to play that piano part on a real piano - some of those figures are just so pianistic, and you need the "feel" and "bounce" of a real piano keyboard to make some of those passages "work".  :)

Today was one of the first rehearsals for an upcoming replacement - the new Al.  -The old, Al, Tony Yazbeck, is heading over to City Center to play Tulsa in the upcoming LuPone Gypsy.  Great dancer and singer, and a good guy too.  -And, yes, cute too!  ;)

Hmm....

Well, it appears one of my roommates has become totally smitten with a new young man.  So much so, that I guess when she cooked him dinner last night, she must have dropped a wine glass.  And did not fully clean up all the broken glass.  I almost ended up heading to the E/R again.  Thankfully, I noticed the three shards on the ottoman before I had placed my hands on it to move it.   :-\  -And there was also some broken glass in the dishwasher too - apparently, from a wine glass too.  ???

Unbelievable!!!  I'm agog, simply agog.  I just had an e-mail from someone to whom I sent an urgent overnight package to arrive at noon today.  Guess what?  It arrived in NY at the Express Mail Center at two-thirty, and there it sits.  It's scheduled to be delivered in the morning.  But, I can get my money back.  Needless to say, I was apoplectic, because this was a very time-sensitive thing that has to do with The Brain, and I said to the lady I spoke to that if their ineptitude is responsible for anything that would preclude the package from being considered (it was REALLY time-sensitive) then the twenty-one bucks wasn't going to do the trick.  She gave me the number of consumer affairs and said I can file a formal complaint and try to get more recompense and let me tell you if that package isn't there first thing in the morning that is EXACTLY what I'll be doing, BIG time.  And, frankly, the morning may be too late - I won't know that until tomorrow.

FedEx?  I'm guessing.

-I know the few times that the USPS has failed me with their Express Mail, I've always been able to get a refund.  FedEx has a bit too much fine print in their "agreement".

Well, I was going by the $21.00 price tag.  And FedEx also has Express Mail centers.

FedEx has three categories of overnight - one by 10:00, one by Noon, and one by COB the next day.  Although, they also have a option for early morning delivery by 8:00 now, I think.

In any case...

I hope the package is not too late.  (Ah, and almost Romance, Romance reference.)

Next I watched tonight's Gay Images in Film movie that I hadn't seen before - MANHATTAN PARADE which was a really lousy film. Bobby Watson played a very effeminate costume designer, and the movie also had a lot of tiresome Smith and Dale routines and Winnie Lightener as a woman with a cheating husband. Really bad film that age hasn't helped at all.

Boston Globe review of Skip's show HERRINGBONE at Williamstown is up.   Hope it's OK to reprint it here in its entirety.


STAGE REVIEW
Wong's magnetism gives 'Herringbone' its power, humanity
By Louise Kennedy, Globe Staff | June 21, 2007
 
WILLIAMSTOWN -- Even if he weren't doing it with 30 stitches in his right thigh, the performance B.D. Wong gives in "Herringbone" would be a tour de force. Given the circumstances -- Wong injured himself in last Friday's opening-night performance at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, stopped the show to get stitched up, then went back onstage the next day -- it's little short of miraculous.
 
Wong says he has been obsessed with "Herringbone" since, at 19, he saw the original New York production. On paper, the obsession is a little hard to understand: This is a one-man show about an 8-year-old vaudeville star who's possessed by the soul of a murderous, tap-dancing midget.
 
In performance, however, Wong richly justifies his fascination -- and passes it on to us. For this is not, as you might fear, a gimmicky show about weirdos. It is very weird indeed, but it is also a funny, heartbreaking, and multilayered consideration of familial bonds, the construction of identity, greed, lust, power, and the dangers and rewards of theatrical performance itself. Oh, and tap-dancing, too.
 
Those who know him only from "Law & Order: SVU" will be astonished to learn that Wong is a marvelous dancer, singer, and stage actor. Those familiar with his Broadway triumph in "M. Butterfly" will be less surprised -- but may still be astonished by just how good, how nonchalantly expert, engaging, and magnetic, he is here.
 
"Herringbone" requires its star to create 11 distinct characters. There's the child star, George; the midget, Lou (known in his own vaudeville career as the Frog); the Frog's former dance partner, Nathan "Chicken" Mosely; George's parents and grandmother; the salesclerk who sells him his herringbone suit; a lawyer; a manservant; a hotel receptionist named Dot; and the narrator, Herringbone.
 
But there's also, we gradually realize, another character onstage: the actor who is creating these characters. The first time Wong stops and says, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you," you think he's just fluffed a line -- and who could blame him? But at some point you recognize that such "mistakes" are part of the show.
 
It's a testament to Wong's artistry that I can't tell you how I knew this, even before he said as much in a post-performance talkback; I just did. And it's the key to the whole thing. By pretending to drop the mask, only to clue us in that the face beneath is a mask, too, Wong fulfills the play's intent: to make us reflect on how all of us build our sense of ourselves, are possessed by the characters in our lives, and somehow, if we're lucky, manage to live a real life anyway.
 
Let me emphasize, before commanding you to go, that this is a genuinely odd show, and one that will not delight every taste. Skip Kennon's music is complex, spookily lovely, and indelibly evocative of the varied characters, but it's not easy listening, and both Tom Cone's book and Ellen Fitzhugh's lyrics present similarly intense challenges. The show also has moments of deep creepiness, as when Lou's spirit tries to use the child's body to have sex with an aroused but confused Dot.
 
But "Herringbone" knows it's creepy, and we're left revolted not by what happens onstage but by the true heartbreaks that this production, directed with sensitivity and intelligence by Roger Rees, forces us to contemplate. Children aren't generally possessed by midgets. But too many are dominated, wounded, and even destroyed by the adults in their lives. To see Wong transform his adult features into the desolate, lonely face of a scared little boy is to share that terror.
 
Wong and his characters, by the way, are not quite alone on Neil Patel's simple set, which cleverly lays bricks in a herringbone pattern that blurs the border between stage and audience. Music director Dan Lipton delivers an equally virtuosic performance at the piano, changing musical styles and moods as quickly as Wong does voices and accents. For all their art, though -- Lipton's easy mastery of both showstoppers and tender ballads, Wong's delicacy in evoking a whole person by miming the adjustment of an earring -- what most amazes us in "Herringbone" is not the dazzling trickery of its surface, but the poignant tenderness and full humanity of its unexpected depths.

Heroes, Lost, Medium, Ugly Betty, Ghost Whisperer and Smallville are my must-sees on weeknights.  With Lost not premiering until January, and gosh knows where these shows will appear on the fall schedule, I'll probably just have a show (maybe two) to watch each night.  If I get a DVR by then, I may not even watch as they air...I might kick back and read a book (gasp!).

I saw the first professional staging of "Joseph" in London 1973. (Coupled with Jacob's Journey).  The Pharoah was played by Gordon Waller (of Peter and Gordon). Back then the show was not a Rock star/Pop show and had delightful charm. Musically it is still my favourite ALW score.

I love the original Broadway cast recording with Laurie Beechman and Bill Hutton!  It was a delightful little show and not what it's become...an over-wrought, over-bloated, every-song-has-to-be-rewritten-into-a-showstopper-wanna-be pile of...well, you get my drift. ::)
