Well, you've read the notes, the notes were silent and yet spoke volumes, and now it is time for you to post until the silent cows come home.

And the word of the day is: AUSCULTATION!

Morning all.
That is all.

Good morning, all! Today is my deadline with New World Records, and I am ready for it; I've received corrections on the German lied notes, I was reminded from the Man From Philadelphia that I had forgotten the Introduction, and i've heard nothing from the producer, engineer, or mastering personnel, so i guess I gave the correct information. I'll make the fixes in the lieder section and send it off.
After that, I have a bit more work on the stage band scoring of "You're Devastating" from ROBERTA, and once that is finished, I will move to the next number and continue finishing Act one. By then, I should be getting corrections on the vocal score to DEAREST ENEMY, so there's work.
More coffee!I've got all my tax receipts sorted by category, so I need to take a couple of hours each day and tally the receipts for my appointment nine days from now.
More coffee!

I think my favorite silent film is the Norma Shearer-Ramon Navarro THE STUDENT PRINCE
DR Dan(theMan). isn't THE BLUE ANGEL a sound film? Don't I recall Marlene singing "Falling In Love Again"?
-
I was first drawn to silent movies through my interest in horror films. I remember greedily reading every word in the articles in Famous Monsters of Filmland that covered movies such as Phantom, The Hunchbach of Notre Dame, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, etc. And then there were the ads in the back of the magazine hawking 8 mm copies of the films--I pined for the bucks to send away for them (not to mention a movie projector that would play them.)
But then there came a series on a local PBS (or prolly NET) channel--Classics of the Silent Screen, which not only presented the horror films but also served to introduce me to the likes of Broken Blossems, Orphans Of The Storm and The Sheik. So at a fairly early age I learned to appreciate the artistry of the silents and never turned my nose up at them.

Yes, I think you are correct. I'm prolly confusing it with Flesh and The Devil.

Was the German BLUE ANGEL a talkie? Did Detrich sing in that one, too? I might have seen it, but I don't recall at the mo'...

Every year it's the same: I start watching the Grammy Awards and half way through I realize that I don't listen to 75% of the music being presented and I wind up changing the channel.
I will say that the show hasn't had a better host with L. L. Cool J. since Andy Williams.
-
Monday morning greetings! No Grammy broadcast for me last night - I went to bed before 10pm and had a very refreshing night's sleep.
-
Good morning, all.

Another night of not much sleep.

Vibes for today, Elmore.

Watched "Murder on the Orient Express" last night for the first time in ages and now "12 Angry Men," so it's a Lumet double feature by accident. My, how young Martin Balsam looks going from one to the other in reverse time.

Hello DR SAM!

I watched some clips of Adele - she is indeed most entertaining and a fine singress.

MR BK my friend Adam is in LA the last week of February if you are around for a lunch.

The sky is so white I can't see the mountains, which I'm sure are also white. Keith & Craig are currently shoveling part of the road & the driveway so we can all get out of here.

I've had a morning of emails, vocal arranging and trouble shooting; it hasn't been boring!

DR Jennifer I finished reading THE THIRD VICTIM this morning. I broke down & purchased it since the 3rd book in the series will be available soon while this one had a much longer wait. I'm glad I read it and didn't stop after the first one.

MR BK my friend Adam is in LA the last week of February if you are around for a lunch.
It looks like I'll be out of town from the 20th to the morning of the 23rd, otherwise I'm here.

Is this your trip to DC? I had asked you about it several days ago and I don't think you answered. Betsy is going back there in March.
-
I managed to get to bed by 12:30. I woke up at 3:15, not nauseous, but with some weird awful taste in my throat, which was causing a really bad stinging. I got up, drank some water, drank some Diet Coke then went back to bed and finally fell asleep around 4:30. I got up at 9:45, so I guess I somehow got seven hours but it sure doesn't feel like it.
-
Then I got a call from the East Coast singer - her show apparently went over solid and she got another rave review. The focus, structure and, most importantly, point of the show are really working because that's all this review she read to me was about. Of course, the reviewer neglected to mention her director but thus it has been and thus it will always be. But I'm glad to hear that the point is coming across loud and clear and just proves to me you can find the point in almost anything by just using your noggin' and choosing material carefully. It took me a week to truly find the point of her show, but once found everything falls into place neatly. I'll be going to Washington to work with her for two days next week and we should be able to get all the loose ends tied up by then.

Trouble shooting? All you have to do is squeeze your little finger. Ease your little finger back. You can change the world.

Hi guys. Saying hi with the intent of trying to be here more.
I'm officially back in Hayward with the DP and the 3 (count them) 3 mini-schnauzers. 2 don't get along and are living their lives separated for now, but as soon as the 3 year old is neutered, we are bringing in the behaviorist.
Life is good, we are all happy.
4 shows brewing in the next few months, Fiddler on the Roof Jr, Annie, Oliver and Grease. So, I'm certainly not not busy. I have been having tendonitis in my hands from the move and such, I just need to rest them, but in this profession, it's difficult. I've given up playing guitar for a while and my students have to deal with my accordion playing in the classroom, which we always have a good time with and I'm getting better at my accordion skills!!
That's it for now... more later.

I left the original Ben-Hur off my list today. I remember enjoying that quite a bit.

I think I will take a pill and go to sleep - not sure if it's cold or flu.

DR Ginny, thanks for the photos! I wsh I had a scanner so I could scan them and post them. In 1982, i thought i was fat, and looking at the photos, I think, Ohmigod, I wasn't that large at all! Now, I look at photos of me taken in the past several years and think, who is that whale wearing my shirt?

This has possibilities:
Warner Bros. has tapped "Bridget Jones's Diary" scribe Andrew Davies to write "Beauty and the Beast," a new take on the classic tale that Guillermo del Toro will not only produce, but also direct.
WB's "Harry Potter" star Emma Watson is in final negotiations to topline the period pic.
DiNovi Pictures' Denise Di Novi and Alison Greenspan will produce with del Toro, who will write a treatment that Davies will then work off of.
Del Toro, who's currently filming "Pacific Rim" for WB and Legendary Pictures, is credited as a co-writer on both of WB's upcoming "Hobbit" movies. He recently exec produced Universal's "Mama" and DreamWorks Animation's "Rise of the Guardians."
Having wrapped her long-running role as Hermione Granger in the "Harry Potter" pics, Watson will next reteam with "Deathly Hallows" director David Yates. She currently co-stars in "My Week With Marilyn" and will soon be seen in Summit's "The Perks of Being a Wallflower."
Davies, who wrote "Bridget Jones's Diary" and its 2004 sequel, most recently penned "The Three Musketeers" and "Brideshead Revisited."
WME reps both del Toro and Watson, who are also respectively repped by Exile Entertainment and U.K.-based Markham, Froggatt and Irwin. Davies is repped by CAA.

I wish you had scanned them. The one of the birthday party at Theatrebooks has two friends, Thom Heinrichs who got me my first orchestrating job in the City and Ken Bryan who was in the original cast of THE HUMAN COMEDY, who are both AIDS victims, I do miss them

Craig went to work & I went swimming. I really needed to swim today after scrubbing and cleaning yesterday. Swimming greatly reduces the pain in my shoulders.

The Vixter took the left over stew and put it in the crock pot on warm so when I came hot stew was waiting for me

Feel better DR Vixmon!!!

What a good daughter I have

thanks Jane - now to eat stew

Craig also has a cold. I expected that to happen now that he is a teacher aid at the elementary school. He began in January & I'm surprised it took so long.

Watched Tony Bennett on Rosie tonight. I can almost forgive him for winning a Grammy over Barbra for the umpteenth time!

Beef Ribs in the crock pot all day. Can't wait to eat them soon, with mashed potatoes and string beans, with hot chocolate with CINNAMON BUN marshmallows that I found in Target today. I can't WAIT!!!
-
Lunch with Miss Ryan cancelled - that's kind of her m.o. and I expected it. I had a sandwich and fries, picked up some packages, came home and did some work on the computer. I'm going to Musical Theatre Guild's Little Women tonight - only because proofer three will have the manuscript with her. I truly cannot stand the score to Little Women, Astonishing being one of the worst theatre songs ever written and the whole score is like that.

HHW needs a LIKE button, because I totally agree with BK's post (above)

I'm still having trouble forgiving him for being a total bore when we saw him at the Greek Theater.

He's also been quite disparaging about Percy Faith, who gave him hit after hit after hit in his Columbia days.

Well, time to leave for rehearsal. It's our first time with costumes. Fortunately, I have a lot of time between any costume changes that I have. And all I have to change are pants and a jacket...very easy. :)
I just don't know when to change. I guess I'll find out tonight.
Until later!

In reality I should thank Tony Bennett. Had we not thought he was talented we would have missed the incredible Dionne Warwick. I have a feeling he wasn't happy that his opening act was loved so much by the audience while his reception was lukewarm at the best.

Oy--first REBECCA, and now this:
Paramount is looking to adapt Alfred Hitchock's "Suspicion" and has tapped Veena Sud of AMC's "The Killing" to direct and pen the script, with Montecito Pictures producing.
The original film, based on Francis IIles's 1932 novel "Before the Fact," centered on a dowdy young woman (portrayed by Joan Fontaine) marrying an irresponsible charmer (played by Cary Grant) despite the strong disapproval of her wealthy father -- and then beginning to suspect that her husband plans to kill her. Fontaine won a best actress Oscar for her perf in the 1941 feature.
It's the first feature gig for Sud -- the creator, executive producer, showrunner and writer for "The Killing," which was nominated for six Emmys last year, including Sud for writing on a drama series. The second season of "The Killing" returns April 1.
Sud's previous TV credits include executive producing CBS's "Cold Case" and writing for ABC's "Push, Nevada."
Deal for "Suspicion" comes on the heels of DreamWorks and Working Title Films announcing plans for a remake of Hitchcock's ''Rebecca'' with "Eastern Promises'' scribe Steven Knight writing.
Montecito is also in pre-production on "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of 'Psycho,'?" based on Stephen Rebello's book. Anthony Hopkins is attached to star on the Fox Searchlight project. Montecito produced last year's romantic comedy "No Strings Attached" for Paramount.
Sud is repped by CAA. Her attorney is Bruce Gellman of Felker Toczek Gellman Suddleson.
-
Watched the film version of "12 Angry Men" this morning and am watching the TV version tonight. The TV version is shorter, but it's, in some ways, more interesting because so many of the roles are cast against type. The guy who played Danny Reed in "Holiday Inn" is just this ugly, fastidious man in ways that are much more interesting than E.G. Marshall. And while Henry Fonda is better than Bob Cummings, Cummings is another one who's quietly affecting. And Franchot Tone is more buttoned up and internal than Lee J. Cobb. Maybe I just like seeing another cast handle the roles all so differently.
-
While I wait for dinner to heat, I'm listening to a Broadway concert from some time in the past with Barbara Cook singing half a dozen songs from "Porgy and Bess." Dang, but it's wonderful, whether she's Bess, Porgy, Sportin' Life or the goat. Well, she hasn't taken up the goat's part yet, but she should have just recorded the whole score.
-
Where is everyone today?
-
This concert has gotten better. Cy Coleman came out and played a suite of "Sweet Charity" songs, then introduced Randy Graff, Judy Kaye and Lillias White, who performed "Old Friend" from "The Life." And Lillias did her showstopper, "Oldest Profession." Barbara was back to sing "Vanilla Ice Cream." Karen Ziemba did a bang-up job with "Ninth Avenue, Goodbye" and now in a strange bit of casting, Lou Diamond Phillips is singing "One Night in Bangkok."
-
In honor of today's TOD, I think I'll watch "Steamboat Bill Jr." next. I doubt I'll be sleeping again tonight, so the movies keep rolling.
-
Right now, Randy Skinner and, if I heard her name right, Karen Crews are recreating Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell tapping to "Begin the Beguine." Love that song.
-
OK, it's a post.
-
Only a few more until page five.

Show has ended with Nathan Lane doing "Rose's Turn." Could have been either funnier or better acted, but it was good.

Off to Buster Keaton.

Two more.

One more.

Night, all.

I just don't know when to change. I guess I'll find out tonight.

Found out...I have one jacket and pair of pants for act one and another jacket and pants for act two. I wear the same black mock turtleneck for the whole show.

My dad LOVES Tony Bennett. Tony actually came to the Washington Center a few years ago and my sister and I bought tickets for our parents for the show. My dad LOVED the concert. I ushered, so I saw it for free. :D I thought that he (Tony) put on a great show.
-
Back from Little Women. It's a pretty bad show, especially the music - every song has the same chord progressions - ridiculous.

BK, did you see a production of the Broadway version that starred Sutton Foster (who, coincidentally, was just on tonight's episode of "Royal Pains")?
-
When Fred and Skip came to Issaquah, Washington (http://www.villagetheatre.org/vo_archives.php) (scroll down to 2006) to have the reading of The Last Starfighter (where I got to meet them in person), there was also a reading of the score/version of Little Women by the composer/lyricist team who were fired from that Broadway production. Their score was absolutely delightful! I wish that they would/could record it. I liked, but didn't love, the Broadway score, but I thoroughly enjoyed the "original" version.

I found that there are song samples on the site where you can get the theatrical rights to this version...Theatricalrights.com (http://www.theatricalrights.com/little-women). ;D

Lou Diamond Phillips was in the revival of The King and I. I'll bet that's why. ;)
-
Well, we have passed the two days of lowest posts.
-
Just had to share.
-
Tonight, we had a full dress rehearsal, although not everyone had all their costume pieces. We had to start late because pictures were taken of our lead covered in plaster (well, flour and water that looks like plaster) and he left to take a shower and it took almost an hour for him to get back. We finally got started at about 8:00 and it took a couple of hours. We worked a few scenes and we'll have to rework the big chase scene at the end, but we got all the way through it. ;D
-
Yes, it was the Sutton Foster version.
