Good morning, all! The Canadian jerk above me who doesn't remove his shoes stomped in around 1:15, letting the door slam and waking me up. I wish I could have him deported.

I think I will walk down to the post office at Lincoln Center and mail a package. I am still waffling about this music/CD/LP sale in lower Manhattan, so I think that means I won't be going, I have to proof two Victor Herbert numbers that Joshie copied, and I've got to work on my July 9 presentation, so I may just end up staying around the Upper West side.

Saturday morning greetings!  Mary Linda arrived in time for us to say HI before we went to sleep last night.  She and I are going to Kathryn's and to the garage sale in a little while.  Early this afternoon, I'm going to take my mom to Indianapolis for a 90th birthday party and then we're going on to Normal, IL, to spend a few days with my DN Laura (who was with me in NYC for DR PennyO's show in 2005).

It's pouring rain here in SW Ohio, not good weather for any of the above  :P

It's finally getting warm here in the East Bay of the SF Bay Area.  I'm jiggy with it!

Yesterday, I had some correspondence from a certain composer who goes by their 3 initials (not ALW) asking me to stop trading his "stuff" on a certain file trading site I belong to as it wasn't "cool".  I wrote back explaining why we trade and that I saw his point and gave him a solution to ease the trading.  Irony is, it's possible I'll be meeting said composer in the next month as he's coming to do a workshop with our older kids from this camp I'm working at this summer (I'm working with another group) as they are doing his newer "kid" show that has a number for a title.

Glori-oski!  I didn't realize that this morning was Tacoma's SOUND TO NARROWS RACE.  I am about a half mile from the race course, but this year they have added some sort of drum and bugle band (minus the bugles) to the festivities.

I assume the drummers are from Ft. Lewis.  The first race to get under way is always the military units.

Okay, here it is (and I'll put it in the start of tomorrow's notes, too).  You know the drill - it's a 2CD set at a 1CD price - 19.98 plus 3.75 shipping, paid directly to paypal using our paypal address of kritzerland at adelphia dot net.

KRITZERLAND IS PROUD TO PRESENT A VERY SPECIAL 2 CD RELEASE:

PROMISES, PROMISES
Original Cast Album
Music by Burt Bacharach  Lyrics by Hal David

On December 1, 1968, Promises, Promises, the musical version of Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond’s The Apartment, opened at the Shubert and took Broadway by storm.   The show was such a breath of fresh air, with its hilarious book by Neil Simon, and pop-sounding and brilliant score by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.  When that overture began, you knew the sound of Broadway had just changed forever – it was electric in the best way.  The show garnered rave reviews and ran 1,281 performances.  The show was nominated for seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and took home the prize for Jerry Orbach (Best Actor) and Marian Mercer (Best Supporting Actress).

One of the reasons the sound of the show seemed so innovative was that Bacharach brought in Broadway’s first recording-type mixing board.  Also his use of four pit singers doing back-up vocals was unique.  The show’s orchestrations were by the young up-and-coming Jonathan Tunick, who honored the Bacharach sound while adding a few wonderful touches of his own.  The cast recording won a Grammy, and the show produced several hit songs, including two for Dionne Warwick – “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again,” and “Promises, Promises” (she also recorded “Knowing When To Leave,” “Wanting Things” and “Whoever You Are”).  Bacharach himself covered five of the songs on his A&M album Make It Easy On Yourself.
This is the third CD release for the original cast recording of Promises, Promises.   The first was issued on Ryko, and then that release was reissued by Varese Sarabande.  Why a third release?  Simple: neither of those releases were the actual cast album as released on LP – the original mix.  Ryko remixed the album from the original eight-track edited session masters and that newly mixed album was also used for the Varese release.  So, this is actually the first appearance of the Grammy award-winning original album mix – newly remastered, of course.  The two-track album masters were in excellent shape.

But the raison d’etre of this release was to present a second CD with a newly mixed version (from those original and great-sounding eight-track edited session masters) that, with today’s technology, could finally fix most of the issues that plagued the original cast album.  As most know, cast albums were always recorded in one day (it’s still the same today, but there are a few shows that go to two and even three days), and the pressure was always on to get everything finished without going into overtime, and then to mix it quickly (frequently in a day or two) and have it in stores instantly.  Compromises sometimes had to be made.  And so, there have always been pitch issues with some of the vocals – they simply got it as good as they could get it and out it came.  We went in, and, without compromising anything but the actual pitchiness, corrected the faulty pitches throughout.  We were also able to take our time with the mix and you’ll hear things in the orchestration you’ve never heard, and even an occasional little vocal thing that was left off the original album (listen to “You’ll Think of Someone”).  So, it’s a whole new listening experience, and one we’re especially happy to have been able to do.  We’ve also put the tracks in their correct show order for the first time.
   
It is the greatest of pleasures to be able to present this special edition two CD set of Promises, Promises – the original Grammy award-winning album, and our fresh and newly remixed version in show order, with the vocals sounding like they never have before.  With the brand new revival of the show on Broadway, you won’t want to miss this limited edition set of the original cast recording sounding like it never has before, and featuring the great performances of Jerry Orbach, Jill O’Hara, Marian Mercer, and the rest of the wonderful cast.
This release is limited to 1000 copies only.   For this special 2 CD set we’ve kept the price at our usual single disc cost of $19.98 plus shipping.

CD will ship by the first week of August – however, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early).

Well, sure glad to see I can still find you.

The electric company decided to swap out our meter (a digital upgrade), and in spite of numerous other survivals of power outages, the computer power supply went kaflooie, kerflop, kerpkunk, THUD! (At least I assume it was the power supply - it doesn't even turn on!) Repair estimates ranged up to a week, depending on part availability - since we both live and die by the internet, even a few days delay were unacceptable- (I mean - miss Tony's at HHW - NEVER!)

I didn't want a new unit because the cost of upgrading all my old software would be brutal; fortunately I found this puppy (a used, reconditioned, DELL Latitude laptop for $250) which should suffice for now. It has some open-source freebie software package called OPEN OFFICE which let's me open and maintain all the old Excel, Word, and Access Database files we had (I had been regularly copying important files to a flash drive, and they restored nicely; I had even made a back-up copy of our AOL Favorites files that I was able to import into the AOL software (I had saved one of those freebie intro disks I had received in the mail when we moved, and that was good enough to get us up and running.)  And there went the bucks we were setting aside to replace the Livinf Room HDTV, which is on it's last legs (it is a 52" rear projection monster that's losing both it's contrast and color registration (we have green ghosts around everything!)

Of course it will take forever to ketchup!

Looked around Teen Challenge Thrit Shop and St Vincent De Paul Thrift Store

Came back home and cleaned up dog barf.

Caught up on today's postings, and laughed at Elmore and TCB's.

Went to the housewarming party. Of course I did not know a soul there. I must be the only neighbor who got an invite.

Only stayed a short while. I toured the house...a grand, huge 1920s home, 4 stories in all, counting the large attic. The new owners did some nice work to the place. While I toured, Bosco entertained the people who were outside. Actually, he just sat there and they admired him and asked me questions about him once I came back outside.

Everyone seemed very nice, but I was exhausted and just wanted to flop in from of the TV and watch old movies and or some Bollywood...or both. So that is what I shall now do for as long as my eyes will stay opened.

Yesterday, I had some correspondence from a certain composer who goes by their 3 initials (not ALW) asking me to stop trading his "stuff" on a certain file trading site I belong to as it wasn't "cool".  I wrote back explaining why we trade and that I saw his point and gave him a solution to ease the trading.  Irony is, it's possible I'll be meeting said composer in the next month as he's coming to do a workshop with our older kids from this camp I'm working at this summer (I'm working with another group) as they are doing his newer "kid" show that has a number for a title.

I think I'll go up to bed.  I'm sure I'll be awakened by tonights thunder showers and rain, lol

Yesterday, I had some correspondence from a certain composer who goes by their 3 initials (not ALW) asking me to stop trading his "stuff" on a certain file trading site I belong to as it wasn't "cool".  I wrote back explaining why we trade and that I saw his point and gave him a solution to ease the trading.  Irony is, it's possible I'll be meeting said composer in the next month as he's coming to do a workshop with our older kids from this camp I'm working at this summer (I'm working with another group) as they are doing his newer "kid" show that has a number for a title.

Matthew, when you (possibly) meet in person, will he know that it's you...the trader?? ;)

Well, I emailed him back a rather lengthy note saying what I felt about trading his (and others) music.  I have not heard  back from him.  He did say to email him if I had any questions about his initial note.  I may just avoid meeting him anyway as I'm not a big fan of his music.  I'm playing in the pit of the "number" show as a favor.  It's turning out to be a BIG favor!

Promises ordered!!

Right now, I'm watching "Kathy Griffin Does the Bible Belt" on Bravo.  I love her!

She's now talking about the show, "Hoarders."  I'm recording it but didn't start watching (from the beginning) until about halfway though so I can speed through the commercials.

Back from a very long production of Carousel.  Must now write Ye Olde Notes.

So earlier this evening, I finally switched the light fixture in my bathroom and put up the one that I actually bought before I moved in...more than three and a half years ago. ::)

The problem is that, as nice as it looks, it has only four 50-watt bulbs (the kind with the two prongs on the base, not the screw-type) and it doesn't put out very much light. :P
