Title: SHOW FOUR
Post by: bk on December 03, 2011, 12:23:35 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of show four, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they missed show four, but are thinking about seeing show five or six - they would've been there opening night if we'd called the evening Unsung MOOsicals.

To answer Dear Read JosSPiano

It is the only the lower part that is affecting me. Chrone's is the entire intestinal tract

And since I am up this early and in much discomfort....

I do not think I will go into work today.

Ebay is a great site for finding things - and collecting things.
And it is great to have Amazon so that I can get books and music that might not be available locally....and at good prices.

ALSO of course.....friends like those at HHW.....the internet is wonderful!!!

As a tool, the computer makes writing much easier......and certainly business and board of directors communication is much easier now......no stamps to mail the minutes.

And as a publicity tool for shows and events - it can't be beat.

Good morning, all! I slept well and I do believe in my last dream I was workng on a revue with our very own BK. My only memory of it now is that Greg Jbara and Debbie Gravitte were rehearsing/performing "Man and Wife" and "Guess We Might As Well Stay Married."

So, this morning I've got work on ROBERTA, THE RED MILL, and DEAREST ENEMY. I have a few Act Two scores of RED MILL to mark up for my copyists, but the main task is cleaning up the draft of the vocal score for DEAREST ENEMY. Later in the afternoon I am taking the CDs of EILEEN to Bruce Pomahac's for a listen.

I can add no more to DR JRand61's thoughts on the innernet than "I agree!"

I don’t know where to start. The internet has changed things so much but it’s difficult to place one thing over everything else. I think one of the main advantages is that it has saved time. Pre-internet days it was difficult to research things or obtain information about so many things without having to write letters or make lengthy long-distance telephone calls or make personal visits to places. So much is now available at the touch of a keyboard. The computer itself has made it so much easier to type and print copies of documents (anyone remember the days of producing copies of documents by having to use inky stencils?)

The internet also made my Farmer research more available and I believe turned the tide in reportage about the actress.  Fifteen years ago people pretty much believed the Scientology version of her life, that has made a 180 degree turn now, which I believe I helped to facilitate.

On the musical side of things, the internet is a fantastic marketing and networking tool.  I have received so many wonderful emails from "regular" folk and well known artists through the years who have heard some of my material, found me online, and contacted me.  It really makes my day to receive emails like that.

TOD - the Internet revolutionized my profession - remember the card catalog?  On a more personal level, I can remember planning a 3.5-week family driving trip to the west coast in 1996 with paper maps and travel brochures.  By the time I was planning a similar trip east in 1999 we had internet access at home and it was a totally different experience.

And the human connection - our son Rob has gotten to know, via Facebook, my cousin who lives in Japan far better than he would have even with email.  And who could have imagined that I'd be playing Scrabble on my phone with my friend Jane from elementary school?

I heated up a steak pie today but when I came to eat it I found it was a chicken pie! I don't hate chicken pies but I far prefer steak pies and when it says steak pie on the packet, I tend to assume that's what I'm going to get. Still, I've eaten it now so I can't very well go back and complain. I've got a chicken to roast tomorrow as well - so it's turning into an all-chicken weekend.

A delivery company knocked on my door today and asked if I could take in a large parcel for next door because there was no reply. I said I'd take care of the parcel and they said they would leave a card to say I had it. My neighbour moved in recently but I don't see much of him. I think he comes from Eastern Europe but he doesn't seem to speak much English - he sort of grunts when I say hello. He hasn't called on me for the parcel so I went round with it to his front door. I saw a light on in the house but as soon as I knocked on the door the light went out. I knocked again - no response, so I came back home. Very odd. I don't know what I'm going to do if he doesn't come to collect the parcel.

I am eating a very interesting side dish with my dinner.  I picked it up at Safeway, form their deli.  It is Three-potato Au Gratin, which I mistakenly read as thee cheese au gratin, which sounded very tasty.  It is a mixture of Yukon Gold potatoes, yams, and sweet potatoes covered in a cheese sauce.  It is okay, but it certainly not what I thought it was going to be.

TOD: 
I don’t know where to start. The internet has changed things so much but it’s difficult to place one thing over everything else. I think one of the main advantages is that it has saved time. Pre-internet days it was difficult to research things or obtain information about so many things without having to write letters or make lengthy long-distance telephone calls or make personal visits to places. So much is now available at the touch of a keyboard. The computer itself has made it so much easier to type and print copies of documents (anyone remember the days of producing copies of documents by having to use inky stencils?) 

Remember mimeograph machines?  I used to actually *ask* my teachers if I could make the mimeograph copies down in the school office just so I could smell the ink.  Yes, it does explain quite a lot.

The smell made me sick.

 I loved it

Hi TCB!  I am fine. Just been busy, I guess. Not sure doing what.  I am spending more time practicing my flute as it became crystal clear to me that I needed a lot of practice before our 2 concerts next week.   I'm a lot more confident about the music now

I'm glad I went back to playing the flute, but sheesh! I'm no where even close to where I used to be.  At first it really bothered me, now I'm ok with it.  The two people playing first music right now are both young high school band directors.  I'm fine playing second music. I like the harmony and with practice I'm getting all the notes.  I had to find my piccolo for next week.  We're doing a christmas song that has the "Stars and Stripes" piccolo part in it.   Holy moly, it's been even longer since I've played picc.   But it's really fun getting back into it.

A delivery company knocked on my door today and asked if I could take in a large parcel for next door because there was no reply. I said I'd take care of the parcel and they said they would leave a card to say I had it. My neighbour moved in recently but I don't see much of him. I think he comes from Eastern Europe but he doesn't seem to speak much English - he sort of grunts when I say hello. He hasn't called on me for the parcel so I went round with it to his front door. I saw a light on in the house but as soon as I knocked on the door the light went out. I knocked again - no response, so I came back home. Very odd. I don't know what I'm going to do if he doesn't come to collect the parcel.

Eastern European neighbor... Unclaimed package.......... Light goes out when you knock on the door.

Sounds like a good start for a Alfred Hitchcock film.

LOL - I was thinking a Tom Clancy novel!

Went to the post office.  I'm happy to say that the DVD and CD of Phantom (25th Anniversary) were in one of the packages.   I'm watching the blu-ray right now.  It looks and sounds great!

Where did you get it? According to Amazon it is not going to be released until Feb 7/12

I got it from Amazon.co.uk.  The Blu-ray in the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005M0X078) is region code-free, so if you have a Blu-ray player, you don't have to wait until it's released in the US.  It's only £14.99, which right now is only about $23, less than the pre-order price at Amazon.com, which actually still doesn't list a release date.  I bought the Blu-ray/DVD combo, the double-CD AND "Torchwood: Miracle Day" and shipping was a total of £5.06, which right now is just under $8.  That's a good deal, if you ask me.

And speaking of Amazon.co.uk, the Topic of the Day:

One of the biggest benefits of the Internet has been shopping...being able to buy things from around the world, and even just FINDING things from around the world to buy!  Things that I never knew I needed (or just wanted), but mainly getting cast recordings and DVDs from England, France, Germany, Brazil, Australia, Japan, etc.

One of the biggest benefits of a computer is making my own CDs.  I have record albums that'll never be released on CD or performances from TV broadcasts that'll never be released. :D

I think it is going to be even colder tonight.  The skies are completely clear, which usually means ice by morning.  Not that I care, i don't plan on going anywhere tomorrow.

Tomorrow, I'm going to the movies with my friend Margo.  There's a double feature of "The Ides of March" and "Moneyball."  We'll have dinner in between. :)

Back from our final performance and we could not have asked to go out with a better one.  Great full house, responsive as all get out, lots o' laughs and cheers (genuine, not the bs kind) and the cast did great.  Everyone was very happy.  We all then convened at Genghis Cohen and ate a LOT of food.
