FROM 2 days ago RE: TCB

Regarding buying a VCR DVD Dubbing machine.

I have way too many tapes I need to transfer. It is alot cheaper for me to buy the machine and burn them myself than have someone else do them. The cost is about $18 per tape. Max 2hrs.

I have lot more than 10 tapes and they are more than 2hrs each

Good morning, all! I slept late and here I am. It was a night of very peculiar dreams, beginning with a really terrifying one involving my brother Randy, my dad, and somethng lurking inside a house after midnight. I remember that at one point during the night I had a dream involving Kate Winslet, but I have no memory of it beyond that. I slept fitfully, mostly due to the neighbor above me coming and going during the night - I'm not complaining about him because he's so quiet i haven't heard him for two weeks - but it was nice to wake up and be lulled back to crazy dreams by the sound of rain on the window.

Today, I'm off to NYPL to collect more info on Victor Herbert's piano and cello music for liner notes, at around 5 I'm having dinner with my friend Val from Barnes & Noble. Hopefully, the Man from Philadelpha has paid my last invoice and the check will arrive today.

Time for more coffee.

PT at the theatre?

WOW!

Yes, PT at the theatre. Since the choreography in this show is so(!) athletic(!), they hired a PT to come in each week to help keep the actors in shape, alignment and good health. Most Broadway shows now do the same thing now. It's a way of insuring the general well-being of the cast.

*If all of the slots here are not filled up by the cast on the day the PT comes in, they open then up to the staff.

Yes, it still hurts.


*I'm also getting annoyed(?) with the teasers they've been running on the news for upcoming stories about 9/11 and the 10-year anniversary. They all seem to be introducing the stories with phrases like "A tragic tale...", "a bittersweet story...", "an emotional..."... Alas, words like "tragic", "bittersweet" and "emotional" are essentially the essence of 9/11.

It's quite dreary here too. Again. Of course, as I was driving in, I happened to catch the latest line of storms for most of my drive down I-66. It was quite a tentative drive. Thankfully, most everyone on the road with me slowed down too.

I've also been checking the coverage of the flooding in Maryland as well as upstate New York... There really is no where else for the water to go. :-\

In Salem they have a Goodwill Outlet store, where you buy by the pound...but their CDs are all $1 or 5 for $4. I have found many goodies there....oddly, you can always count on there being several Amy Grant CDs as well as High School Musical in the mix. I know not why.

Yogi has just spent the last several hours whimpering in his room.  I just let both dogs out on the deck & then back into the house, now that Craig & Keith are about to come back in after working outside.  Yogi knew Craig was outside his room so he wouldn't settle.  I decided I didn't want to listen to him do what he is doing now, running around the house crying excitedly. ;D

Two gentlemen in my hiking group are part of a Marching Band, in 6/8 time.  They have been asked to march in the, first time ever, Ashland Gay Pride Parade and are wondering what would be appropriated.  Any suggestions?  I told them I could get loads of ideas for them.


Any show tune would be appropriate for a Gay Pride Parade, surely.   Why not some Jerry Herman...."The Best of Times" from "La Cage Aux Folles" could be played in 6/8 time, I think.

That could be followed with an up-tempo "I Am What I Am".   Of course, there are probably going to be other bands, so there may be a conflict with another band's selections.

Another crowd-pleaser would be "Tap Your Troubles Away" from "Mack and Mabel" (another Jerry Herman show).  If the band has a choreographer, it could be a showstopper.

My mood after THE TALK brightened considerably after a Facebook message from conductor John Wilson!

Are you friends with John Wilson? He's getting lots and lots of play on my BBC radio stations these past two weeks because of the release of the CD you posted.

I heard an interview where he talked about restoring the scores for many of the MGM musicals and how almost none of the printed material exists anymore. It was all thrown away in the 70s around the time MGM decided to sell off the back lot and all the sets, costumes and props. He's done a great job with the scores.

LOL I can't picture them with a choreographer.  They play in our local parades & just march & play unless they ride in the back of a truck.

I suggested show tunes, which they liked & why I offered to come up with ideas for them.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I will pass them along.

He's friends with friends of mine - Ted Chapin, Bruce pomahac, Kim Criswell, Brent Barrett, Caroline O'Connor - and he's a fan of mine, so it was time we met. He conducted those concerts with Brent that lured DR KevinH to England in the last months. When I wasin Dublin, he'd just appeard at the National concert Hall with Kim, and the Irish group on EILEEN thought he was fantastic. His 2011 Proms concert "Hooray For Hollywood" is really spectacular.

Any show tune would be appropriate for a Gay Pride Parade, surely.   Why not some Jerry Herman...."The Best of Times" from "La Cage Aux Folles" could be played in 6/8 time, I think.

6/8 is a waltz time, right? Viennese, as I recall. Richard Rodgers has some lovely waltzes, but I don't know how appropriate a waltz is to a marching band. Still, "I Am What I Am" would be a great one for a marching band. And "It's Today" from "Mame" would also be good. It's in 2/4 time. I also like Ron Pulliam's suggestions.

Someone like me must have kicked the bucket......there were LOTS of old Broadway and Hollywood LP's in the Goodwill bin today....most of which I have....like looking at my own collection.

I didn't get through them all.....but I did buy the LP of GOLIDLOCKS with Don Ameche and Elaine Stritch, that I have never heard....and a Mitchel Trio LP violets of dawn....John Denver, Joe Frazier, Mike Kobiak...  There are some songs on this album that I haven't heard...

I love GOLDILOCKS! It's a really funny show, and the score has some wonderful numbers. The ballet music is fantastic.
It's a hilarious show. I have a copy of the script and remember laughing so hard that I had tears in my eyes. Too bad Don Ameche wasn't up to snuff in that one.

When I was about 6 years old, "Sweet Caroline" was my favorite song. Though I don't care for much of Neil Diamond's recent work (from about "Jazz Singer" on), I love his early stuff. I'm glad he's in a great group of Kennedy Center honorees. I feel honored to have seen all but Meryl Steep live.

Wait, I saw Streep walking on the set of "Ironweed," which was filmed in Athens, N.Y., the town north of Catskill when I was living up there. So, I guess I've seen all five of them.

I suggested they go to OKLAHOMA, but I don't think they were going to go. At least I tried

I had a MAJOR technologically frustrating day from hell today.  I finally said hell with it and bought a new computer for my office.  Mine was 5 years old and ha Vista and didn't work with much of anything.   I got a great deal on an open box computer at Best Buy and had $45 off from my rewards at staples, where I got a nice monitor.   Putting it all together it was really pretty inexpensive.   I was at the office until 11:00 setting it up.  I am thankful that Windows 7 has a program to transfer all your settings data etc from one computer to another.  It was slick as a whistle... hopefully tomorrow will be a better day

Time to get some sleep.  It was a very long and very frustrating day and I am thrilled that tomorrow is Friday.

And...

Since I'll be flying down to Atlanta at 5:45AM(!!?!?!) on Saturday morning, I'll be crashing on Dream Curly's couch tomorrow night so that my drive to DCA will only take 15 minutes instead of 45.

And since I have to get a few things done tomorrow before I head into the theatre, I'm gonna go ahead and back my bag tonight. Well, now. So...

Laters...

My mood after THE TALK brightened considerably after a Facebook message from conductor John Wilson!

Are you friends with John Wilson? He's getting lots and lots of play on my BBC radio stations these past two weeks because of the release of the CD you posted.

I heard an interview where he talked about restoring the scores for many of the MGM musicals and how almost none of the printed material exists anymore. It was all thrown away in the 70s around the time MGM decided to sell off the back lot and all the sets, costumes and props. He's done a great job with the scores.

He's friends with friends of mine - Ted Chapin, Bruce pomahac, Kim Criswell, Brent Barrett, Caroline O'Connor - and he's a fan of mine, so it was time we met. He conducted those concerts with Brent that lured DR KevinH to England in the last months. When I wasin Dublin, he'd just appeard at the National concert Hall with Kim, and the Irish group on EILEEN thought he was fantastic. His 2011 Proms concert "Hooray For Hollywood" is really spectacular.



Here's Kim Criswell with John Wilson conducting:

I love Kim Criswell!
