Well, you've read the notes, the notes were the Tiffany's of notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently having breakfast at Tiffany's - some are having MOOfins, and some are having huevos rancheros.
-
And the word of the day is: ENCHIRIDION!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Good morning to all

good morning, all.

TOD
Breakfast At Tiffanys
Victor/Victoria
I wish I could list others, but I don't have any soundtrack recordings of his scores.
-
A bit crudely and quickly made, but my Youtube tribute to Chaz Bono on Dancing With the Stara, using the tune of his mom Cher's Gypsies Tramps and Thieves

-
TOD: Audrey Hepburn makes most any movie special. If you cry at "Breakfast at Tiffany's," then I cry at "Robin and Marian."
Other favorites include "Roman Holiday," "Wait Until Dark," "They All Laughed," "Charade," "Two for the Road," "Funny Face" and "Breakfast."

LOL
-
As for Mancini, just about everything he worked on, too, though "Victor/Victoria" is a favorite. "Breakfast," too. And "Peter Gunn."
-
Thanks for watching, John G.
-
BK - I'd say just don;t show the preview to so many people that it seriously dilutes your view numbers.
-
Or else ask people who watch the preview to "sort-of promise" they'll also tune in when it's on YouTube, which I assume is kosher
-
Good morning! I emailed my bank last night but decided to check out the website again to day to see if there was something else I can do. I found a 24 hour number where I could report my debit card lost, so I did that. I also checked on the account activity on the phone number (I can't remember my online log in id) and it's all recognizable. So, I think the checkbook is probably in my car. If not, maybe some good samaritan has it and is either sending it to me or turned it in somewhere.
-
Ok, it's almost time to walk to the courthouse so I better go....DR Laura, I'm not sure what you say to a lawyer.....maybe "catch an ambulance" lol
-
ROBIN AND MARIAN is my favourite Audrey Hepburn movie.
-
Good morning, all! I slept late, much later than I intended. More Drama Book Shop dreams as well as others I don't remember now.
I have to get to the NYPL today, so that's a priority, and book my Amtrak tickets to DC.
DR Jose, the Capitol Hill Suites are filled next week, and I like staying there since it's next door to the Library of Congress.
DR Cillaliz, I hope the checkbook islocated at your home and that all is good. Best of luck with your presentation!
BK, I agree completely with you about BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S; it's still one of my faves, too.
TOD:
Mancini: Charade, Breakfast At Tiffany's, Victor/Victoria
Hepburn: Breakfast at Tiffany's, Charade, My Fair Lady
-
Good morning. I am going to spend the morning working on the church drip irrigation system, which should be interesting, considering that I don't have one at home and have no idea how they work. I only know how to turn it on.

Last weekend, my neighbors had a garage sale.
Among the items they were selling were all of their DVDs.
They said that they still had the movies, but they were all up on "Cloud".
Hmmm...
???
-
Morning all. I arrived in Istanbul late last night, with my sister and niece (my brother's daughter) after a rather bumpy flight. Had problems at first in accessing the hotel wi fi network but am relieved to be connected to the internet world again! I requested a change to the room I was given because it was not what I had asked for so that caused some hassle as well. Very (too) hot here but a very fascinating city with lots to see and do.

DR Sam, a belated thank you for last night's birthday wish! I hope I haven't overlooked anyone's. If I have, please forgive me; it wasn't intentional.
-
DC trip is booked with Capitol Hill Suites and Amtrak. I do love these senior discounts on Amtrak!
-
Tuesday morning greetings! It's cool and humid here in SW Ohio today - a weird combination. Paramedic Rob is in Cincinnati for his first of 3 days of on-the-road orientation with his new employer. His regular schedule begins on the 29th.
-
We don't have Amtrak out here. Seems like it would be a good way to travel.

I've got two full sets of scores, two libretti, and a lot of orchestra selections to photocopy, and I have the call numbers for most of it. It should be a very good trip.

I found my disc of COLOSSUS OF NEW YORK to watch last night - MR BK wrote about it here a couple of months ago....interesting without being entertaining.....
Another movie on the disc I had burned was JOURNEY TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE SUN, which stars Roy Thinnes and Lynn Loring (then Mrs Thinnes) - lots of talking, but a movie I have liked since I saw it at the drive in about 42 years ago.
-
And the word of the day is: ENCHIRIDION!
And The Song Of The Day Is: HOW TO SUCCEED
-
Thanks all for the vibes. The argument went as well as it could go. Now it's just up to the three judges who heard arguments to decide. In the even better news department, my bank says there has been no new activity on my account. So, no matter where the checkbook and debit card are (I need to get a new one issued now) no one has taken all my money from the bank and I've reported it so I should be ok
-
When i arrived at courtroom the Asst US Atty on the case looked at me and said "Oooo, I hear you were the guest of the day". LOL he didn't stay at my hotel, but one of his colleagues did. Cracks me up
-
DR Cillaliz - glad to hear your presentation went well. Now do you have time for more sightseeing or do you have to hightail it back to Sioux City?
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I slept in today.
-
Exciting, huh?

DR Cillaliz - ~~~~GOOD RESOLUTION VIBES ON ALL FRONTS TO YOU TODAY~~~~~

Audrey Hepburn movies: THE NUN'S STORY, MY FAIR LADY, TWO FOR THE ROAD, WAIT UNTIL DARK
Henry Mancini songs: "The Sweetheart Tree", "Peter Gunn Theme" (this was the signature of my high school's jazz band and brought down the house)
-
DR Ginny, my plane doesn't leave until 5:00 PM. I'm planning to go to the old courthouse where the Dredd Scott case was heard. it's now a museum and is only a couple blocks from here. I am trying to figure out how I'm going back to the airport. There's a train station not far from here and the metrolink is a lot cheaper than what I paid for the cab. Since I don't have a debit card that works, I need to be careful spending cash. On the other hand, I can turn in my receipts for what I pay in cab fare and be reimbursed, so maybe that's easier. Gives me more time to play,.
-
Better run if I'm going to see more sights. Glad I have a late check out!

And speaking of free ebooks...
The University of Chicago Press (http://www.press.uchicago.edu/books/freeEbook.html) offers one each month. It's been quite a varied selection so far this year. Everything from Roger Ebert to Richard Stark. You just sign up on their site, and they send you a link to download the month's selection for free. They come in an Adobe Digital Editions format. I'm not sure how compatible that is with various e-readers, but, again, it's free.

Am expecting my Blu-ray discs of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "Dumbo" by express delivery sometime during this day.
I have received my region-free Blu-ray player but have not hooked it up. When my Blu-ray "Fantastic Planet" arrives from the UK, it will be the inauguaral playee on said new region-free Blu-ray player (after it is hooked up). I guess the question that is now begged is whether the new region-free Blu-ray player will need special attention in being hooked up...or whether a hooker will be required. A hooking service, perhaps? (Am certain I can do it with minimal reference to enclosed manual).
-
So sad to be all alone....
-
Oh, wait...there's Ginny...still signed on.
-
Did I read on these pages last week that someone received a "free" Kindle?
Where does one find, or how does one qualify, for a "free" Kindle?
-
Oh, looky!
Curiousity has led us to Page 3.

Speaking of SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, I just read where DINER is also making its way to the stage as a musical.
Sheesh...
-
Presuming you're using an HDMI cord, it should be a one-cord hook-up.
-
I'm up and need to be out the door to jog in about twenty minutes - we'll see about THAT.

DR GINNY that's a great book for $1.49.....I purchased it for my PC Kindle.

Sheryl Crow is writing the score for DINER. That sounds interesting

From DR Jose:
DR Jeanne - I love "Sherlock"! If you get the DVDs, be sure to watch the extras about the making-of the series.
Keith added it our NetFlix, soon to be Qwikster, queue. I'll try & remember to watch of extras.

Oh, absolutely HDMI! Yes, I recall it's a simple procedure...guess there won't be any hook-up hiccups just because it's region-free.

Did I read on these pages last week that someone received a "free" Kindle?
Where does one find, or how does one qualify, for a "free" Kindle?
Ron, I received a free Kindle because I redeemed points that I had accrued by using my (credit union) debit card. The points were good for many, many things but there was nothing that I really wanted until I found out that a Kindle was available. I had more than enough points for it, so I got it.
It arrived last week and I've already purchased several titles. :D
-
I bought BAT on VHS and twice on DVD - can I really justify purchasing it a 4th time? I am in a quandary.

Another frustrating day with the NYPL; things I once found on historical newspapers online I cannot locate today. I don't know if the pianist is Miss Louie or Miss Lottie Mills, although i suspect Louie is a typesetter error. On the plus side, I ran into my friend David Charles Abell, a fantastic conductor, and I got to visit with Bob Kosovsky, my favorite music librarian.
And so, to work.

Morning all. I arrived in Istanbul late last night, with my sister and niece (my brother's daughter) after a rather bumpy flight. Had problems at first in accessing the hotel wi fi network but am relieved to be connected to the internet world again! I requested a change to the room I was given because it was not what I had asked for so that caused some hassle as well. Very (too) hot here but a very fascinating city with lots to see and do.
;DR Doug R - If you get a chance, could you stop in and say Hi to my friend, Berke. He's in Instanbul now too. ;)
If I come across him I certainly will :D
-
You will find DR DOUG R that one of the great things about HHW is that no matter WHERE you go, there is a connection to somebody here.
-
The guy forgot about our date to check out the irrigation system. I had to call and remind him.
Were you waiting long before you called? I hope he was very apologetic.
-
DR elmore how was your birthday cake?
-
I called after waiting 20 minutes. He came in another 40 minutes. So an hour late total. It was hot by that time. But I was able to show him what I was talking about.

CNN did a really cook show on that over the 911 weekend. Not sure if that's what you linked to, I'll have to look.
-
LOL yup that's it
-
DR Laura, at least you were able to show him what you were talking about, sometimes that's hard to do
-
Only one more hour till take off. It was either change planes or sit and wait for awhile. This isn't that bad
-
It's not fixed. Probably won't be until the weather cools off enough that we can work out in the sun. It is still over 100 here. I've been saying there's whole sections where there's no water getting to the plants. Everything by the traffic light is dead. Things that should be lush and blooming are just trying to hang on.
-
Flight vibes for the Guest of.....Yesterday.
-
Sorry to hear that. Laura
-
Thanks JRand
-
I am thinking about cookies. I did not go buy more toffee because I ate the entire bag last night
-
I did enjoy the old courthouse and the film on the Dred Scott case. The courthouse is way cool, love the restoration. It's the building you often see in the middle of the arch
-
I am very proud of myself for taking the metro train to the airport. I'm somewhat leary of taking the train by myself with luggage in a town I'm not familiar with, but I decided what the heck and it worked out great
-
And since the station was across the street from Busch Stadium....and because the cardinals on the shirts in the window of the team store looked so cute.....I bought a shirt. The security lady was following me as I wheeled around my bag in the store, so I got her involved in helping me pick out a shirt
-
Safe travels, Cillaliz!
-
OH, DR Laura, I saw a monarch at the arch and I saw a Monarch outside my hotel and I saw a monarch at the train station. I thought of you each time
-
I've been taking the bus whenever I go to LA for meetings. Saves someone a lot of time having to drive to the airport to pick me up.
-
Only one more hour till take off. It was either change planes or sit and wait for awhile. This isn't that bad
I would rather wait than switch planes. Landing make me sick so the fewer the better.
-
Thanks, I still have nearly an hour to kill. There have to be cookies here somewhere
-
Lucky you! I have yet to find any in my yard.

Agreed DR Jane, that's why I'm still sitting here

Poor plants will all be dead before the work is done. Is it too hot early in the mornings to do the work?
-
Well, they are on their way....they just stopped to see the arch
-

Good for you. I've taken trains from the airport but never to it.
-
Well, part of the trouble is that this guy is a night owl. He was still asleep when I called at 9:20. He waits until it gets hot to get started on anything.
They are having a work day on Saturday. I'm hoping that one of the things on their list is the drip irrigation system.

I will say St Louis has the deadest down town of any city I've been in in a very long time. I knew there weren't a lot of people living here, but there don't seem to be people working downtown either. Strange to be going to work and there is no one on the street or sidewalk. Someone told me everyone has moved west. I think he means western St. Louis suburbs but after visiting the Western Expansion Museum, it made me chuckle

OK time to look for cookies. I can't wait to get home and get some sleep. Edith has been putting out fires for two days, I bet she'll be glad to see me tomorrow

Craig is going to a wedding in Connecticut this weekend & has 3 flights booked in each direction. His first "layover" is only 30 minutes. He is hoping to miss his connection & that the airline will skip the second layover & send him directly to his destination. He has that same 30 minutes on his return trip.

The bus from home or from the airport? I would rather take a train than a bus.
I take the bus from the airport to the District Office. And back. There's a train station at one of the transit stations, but I don't think it goes to the airport. In fact, the bus doesn't go to the airport -- I have to walk a half mile or so to get to the airport from the bus stop.
-
I gather you travel light.
-
Very. I carry more stuff to chase butterflies than I take on a weekend of meetings.
-
One change of clothes, one ziplock of personal things, a folder for papers, and my wee laptop are all I need for a weekend of meetings.
-
Tonight is the premiere of GLEE. Yeah!
Also the new show UNFORGETTABLE starts tonight.
-
With all due respect to Mr. Haines, but if he has enough time to do a new CD and to sing at an event honoring Michelle Nicastro; I would think he would have enough time to drop in here once in a while. In all of the years I have been posting at HHW, I have yet to chat with Mr. Haines.
-
Good Evening!
Well... I started working on THE BOYS FROM SYRACUSE today at The Shakespeare Theatre... :)

Or else ask people who watch the preview to "sort-of promise" they'll also tune in when it's on YouTube, which I assume is kosher
You Tube is kosher? I never knew that. And I only have one set of platters.

Morning all. I arrived in Istanbul late last night, with my sister and niece (my brother's daughter) after a rather bumpy flight. Had problems at first in accessing the hotel wi fi network but am relieved to be connected to the internet world again! I requested a change to the room I was given because it was not what I had asked for so that caused some hassle as well. Very (too) hot here but a very fascinating city with lots to see and do.
Is this strickly a vacation trip, Doug R?
-
OK...
Time to don my plaid shirt.
Laters...

With all due respect to Mr. Haines, if he has enough time to do a new CD and to sing at an event honoring Michelle Nicastro; I would think he would have enough time to drop in here once in a while. In all of the years I have been posting at HHW, I have yet to chat with Mr. Haines.
Maybe he is one of the 57 guests.
-
Well...now this is a milestone!! ;D

Interesting video on "Morning Joe" about Rob Reiner's reading of 8 (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036789/vp/44577198#44577198) on Broadway last night
(Thanks, DR Ben, for the update of when it took place).
Thanks for the link, Ron. Mr. Reiner is quite an eloquent speaker.

Oh! I'm a milestone!

I don't understand how you got that since most of your BFS materials seem to be the 1963 version!

I'm doing something I never imagined I would ever need to do. I'm calling shelters to see if I can find my missing ex-neighbor. His family is calling hospitals. The police have shared the info with the hospitals but the detective told them to call as hospitals tend not to check the database.

Isn't DINER the movie with the you-know-whatzis in the popcorn?
Mickey Rourke in DINER - the popcorn scene
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARvdUBkNoDU
Hmm, maybe that scene is not suitable for work.
What a difference the years have made to Mickey Rourke.

They included the Finale'd 1938 p/v score in the box, and, apparently, some numbers are available in their 1938 version via R&H's concert library.

George, did you ever watch BAYWATCH? Do you remember the kid who played Hasslehoff's son? The actor's name was Jeremy Jackson..
-
Well, the kid grew up. And very nicely, too.

Cilla, thanks for the story about the Titanic necklace. I guess everyone now knows why I can't pay my rent!

Congrats to DR Jose on his milestone!

On the day that we sailed out of Boston to the Titanic site, they filled, I think it was, two or three display cases with jewelry and other items recovered from the wreck site. Nobody, including yours truly, even noticed until late that evening; that none of the cases had locks on them or was there anyone guarding them.
-
Watching Glee--they used the very same arrangement of Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead! that Barbra and Harold Arlen used. It was very enjoyable but not comparable to the original.

Sadly, as that thief will find out, there is little chance of ever selling any of the pieces.

Sadly for the thief or because that reduces the chances it won't be found. Maybe the thief just wants to keep it.

Well that is true. I am sure that there are collectors out there who would pay a king's ransom for something that came from the Titanic.

I'm leaving work. Tomorrow, we have our All Staff Training Day. It's the first we've had in a couple of years...maybe three (the previous one or two were cancelled to save the library money). We'll have a main speaker, several break-out sessions and none that I'm even remotely interested in, but a free lunch! Build-your-own burritos. Sounds good to me. :D

Speaking of SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, I just read where DINER is also making its way to the stage as a musical.
Sheesh...
Sheryl Crow is writing the score for DINER. That sounds interesting
See, to me Diner sounds like a worse idea than Sleepless in Seattle - what about the film Diner seems to cry out to be musicalized - answer: Nothing.
I think they're going for movies that had great soundtracks. Some sort of amazing jukebox compilation that the new score is meant to emulate. "Ghost" is another. And "Dirty Dancing," etc. It's like "Shrek." It's all about the money, especially when they threw "I'm a Believer" in there because the audience was conditioned to expect it.

Mitt Romney just called me.
I'm sorry.

Does he want to be a Monarch?

;DR Doug R - If you get a chance, could you stop in and say Hi to my friend, Berke. He's in Instanbul now too. ;)
If I come across him I certainly will :D
Have fun. And safe home.
-
Mitt Romney just called me.
I'm sorry.
I would much rather speak to Mitt Romney than Sarah Palin.

How are you, TCB?

I hung up on him.

I'm sure he'll call back. For the next several months.

Indeed. It's a landmark. And worthy of pie to celebrate. Well, waking up in the morning calls for pie. Brushing one's teeth calls for pie. Drinking coffee certainly calls for pie. ...

Just finished watching the season premiere of GLEE and the first episode of Zooey Deschanel's new sitcom.
-
We just finished watching BRIDESMAIDS.
I don't remember the last time I've laughed so hard.
In fact, at one point we had to pause the DVD. We were laughing so much and we didn't want to miss anything.

How are you, TCB?
Hanging in there, John G.

Did I ever mention that my MIL's family lived in Oklahoma? They moved there when the land was first opened up for settlement. They were farmers.

You are the guest of honor tonight!

Had a lovely rehearsal with Alet and then spent four hours in the editing room doing the final fine tuning. I'll get copies tomorrow and watch them all one last time before locking them. He'll be adding the end credits for each episode tomorrow. One of the episodes has been quite difficult to get right - the set-up scene worked very well, but the three musical numbers made the episode too long - we've been trying to figure out how to snip about a minute off and we finally did that today by eliminating the opening verse (slow) to one song, and the final verse to another - it plays MUCH better now and is now the same running time of the other two episodes - about 6:30 with front and end titles. I don't really want any episode to be longer than that, and until we made those cuts that episode was coming in at close to 7:40.

Had some chicken tenders and a small fries for dinner. Don't really know why.

I read that Alet got an Ovation nomination. That's really wonderful. And Raul Esparza was the only aspect of "Leap of Faith" to grab a nomination.

That's good to hear, my friend.

Welcome home to DR Cillaliz and YAY about the checkbook! Rest well tonight.
-
Thanks! I had an email from my bank. I was told if I found it that they could re-open my debit card and I wouldn't have to get a new one. Even better. Now I'm really glad I notified them, just in case I had been wrong
-
They just had a story on the news with kids releasing the monarchs they raised at school into the wild. Hope it isn't too late for them to migrate!....and yes, I thought of DR Laura
-
'night!

LOL! They should be fine. I hope they make it to Mexico.

And now I need to get ready for the next 48-96 hours. We have a Noon(!!!) matinee tomorrow in addition to our regular 7:30pm Wednesday night show. And then there's a post-show piano bar tomorrow night. And then I'll be taking the red-eye bus back to NYC. Then a lunch meeting. Then Follies. Then back to DC on Friday morning. Another lunch meeting. Then a put-in rehearsal for our Curly/Dream Curly. Then the 8:00 show followed by a post-show meet-up with a friend who's coming down from NYC for the weekend. Then two shows on Saturday, two shows on Monday. -Then the final preview of Parade at Ford's Theatre.
Whew!

The Ovation Awards are a sad joke - but I'm really happy Alet got one - she actually got two - one solo, one ensemble - same show.
