Post by: bk on September 13, 2010, 12:10:45 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were just horsing around, and now it it time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently upset that there is only one cow saying - of course, we've been using that saying for nine years here at haineshisway.com, so that's nothing to sneeze at.

Post by: Jrand74 on September 13, 2010, 05:35:12 AM: When things were not going well at my house, or no one would admit to a particular wrong doing, my father would always say:
"Heads are gonna roll."

Which scared me and made me laugh all at the same time.

And when heavy blame was placed on a particular individual, said individual would always say: "Well, shoot me at sunrise."

Post by: elmore3003 on September 13, 2010, 06:55:41 AM: Good morning, all! I've got my second "Romping Redhead" so I am content for the moment. The problem with a lot of recording dates and 15 singers to juggle, plus the 10 gentlemen and ladies singing backup, is that there are too many variables to allow me to relax before this thing is finished. In some instances I can think, we'll do it later, but I only have two catch up session dates, too many singers, and several divas.

Today I meet Mr Rob Berman, the mighty musical director of FINIAN'S RAINBOW, at the NYPL Music Division to look over the original manuscripts of WHERE'S CHARLEY? Since I began this restoration in 1998, I'm expected to shed much light, while I actually remember next to nothing. When I was in the Encores! office several weeks ago, I ran across my full score to the show and thought, hmmmm, this looks vaguely familiar. So, it will be good to see Rob and my favorite music librarian Bob Kosovsky today and we'll see what cI can remember about this show.

Post by: bk on September 13, 2010, 07:06:45 AM: I forgot to comment on Pogue's post about the sound of the music for The Unforgiven - in the film the music does sound very weird - it has nothing to do with the recording, though, which, if you listen to the audio samples, is just fine. I think it has everything to do with the home video releases - something went wrong somewhere because the music is muffled and sounds awful in the various video transfers. On CD - it's really good.

Most of the time it is, but I do have frustrating visits, like when the missing/lost BABES IN TOYLAND scrapbook won't turn up or a 1902 scrapbook for THE WIZARD OF OZ is too tattered to be examined, or when something crucial, like the original prospectus book for the 1956 CANDIDE has been stolen from the show scrapbook!

The problem is that while it's "finishing" I can't burn CDs because the CDRs for whatever reason don't read when the damn Time Machine is working. I'm going to manually force it to stop in about thirty seconds.

When I was a kid, way back during WW2, my mother used to say to me:

The late great Allan Sherman had a wonderful routine attributing his substantial girth to that saying.

But. . .we have Mum's 60th Year Reunion this Friday, and I have been swamped with work from that. Plus, one of her classmates is spending her time her following her flight in last Tuesday from Wisconsin. She has been diagnosed as having the first stages of Alzheimer's, so I am watching over TWO semi-invalids for God knows how long. The day that she arrived, I also had a dental appointment in the morning, then her plane came in at the height of rush hour, and guess who was the designated pick-up person? Right. Before leaving for the dentist that morning, Borders called and said that I was on the schedule and close to an hour late in getting to work. BUT, one the posted schedule, I wad NOT on the schedule, but only on the schedule in the store manager's computer. She later admitted that she was in error as Tuesday has always been the one day that I cannot give them, since we set that day aside (when I was first hired) to enable doctor visits and such for Mum, or myself if necessary.

Now, today, after work, I did have a necessary dr's appointment. I won't know anything for a while, but, my g.p, believes that I have diverticulitis and has ordered blood work and a CAT scan. She certainly knows now that I have high blood pressure and she has prescribed the necessary drugs. We will see how that works out when I have my follow-up visit in a month (if the blood work and scan don't make it necessary for me to see her sooner).

That's my story.

I recall seeing him in a local L.A. 99-seat production many years ago of DON JUAN IN HELL.

My client, Henry Darrow, played Don Juan. I don' remember which of the other 2 male parts Gould did, nor do I recall who else was in that production, which was staged in the San Fernando Valley.

Yep! Apparently something has been in the air - and/or the stars - for the past couple of days. I've actually had some pretty good days lately (although I did sleep in on Friday and miss my flight, but...), but I know a couple of other people who had a weird and trying weekend. -Calling DR Jrand!

Post by: JoseSPiano on September 13, 2010, 09:13:11 PM: The final day of auditions went well. And fast.

We only ended up having two groups of auditionees this morning - there were quite a number of cancellations due to various reasons. So I was done by 11:30 instead of 1:00. However, the quality level overall of the actors, singers and actor/singers was quite good. The Dud Factor was very low over the past two days.

I always get a little wary whenever someone places that music in front of me, and this time was no exception. But right after I hit the first chord and she started, I could tell that this time was going to be different. And it was!

Actually, I did.

Again, the quality level was quite good this time round. There were a few stray clueless people, but no one made me angry or frustrated. And the variety of songs was quite wonderful. It was nice to see a bunch of lesser-known Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hart tunes being put in front of me.

Post by: John G. on September 13, 2010, 09:25:23 PM: Crazy long day. The work as an extra started at 11:30 a.m. with me sitting there with the rest until 2:30 when we actually got around to doing something, which was to move to another site. Oh well. I got paid to sit there and read the first 160 pages of "Elmer Gantry." And I got a free lunch that was quite good in the bargain. Smaller number of extras means a buffet with the likes of fried chicken, barbecue brisket and sausage, buttermilk pie and some good salads. My tummy was happy, even if we did sit around outside in 90+ weather.

Oh, and I didn't even get in the scene. I was one of those who walked in the background outside of the restaurant in which the scene was being shot. It took seven takes and we were done by 4:30, but we got a full day's pay. I like that kind of work.
