Good morning, all! And Happy Valentine's Day!

I slept rather well, and there were no spectacular dreams wonderful, terrifying, or plain crazy to ponder. I am thinking about today's events and what must be accomplished. The first item on the agenda is a trek to Toyland to check on the place. Then, it's back here to work on ROBERTA for a bit.

More coffee!

I also like the Hirschfeld idea.

If your guy doesn't work out, I have a guy that I could put you in touch with who does great Hirschfeld-like work.

In fact, he was a protege of Hirschfeld.

He did the cover and the drawings in my ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD book.

I watched the last half hour of SMASH last night - and it was okay.  As DR JOSE wrote to appease me - the songs are very Broadway NOW - although I think they are really BETTER than what I hear on some CD's from some of the shows I hear today.

I used to buy CAST ALBUMS just because I wanted the Broadway experience - but having been burned SO many times in the last 10 years or so - FLOYD COLLINS, IN THE HEIGHTS, THE LAST FIVE YEARS, RENT - I rarely bother anymore.  And if a composer whose work that I didn't like the first time does a "new" show - I still let it be......JRB I am talking to you.

When I bought CAST ALBUM LP's, I could usually find something I liked.....GOLDEN RAINBOW, MAN WITH A LOAD OF MISCHIEF....but no so much with the new CD's.

In other words....I may stick with SMASH in spite of DM.

My wife and I have enjoyed the first 2 episodes of SMASH, though the scene last night between Debra Messing and her son was terrible.

As good as the show is, I will be surprised if it succeeds with the general public.

I only saw the last 30 minutes, so I must have missed that scene DR DRUXY.....but I am sure its awfulness was matched by the final scene with Messing reading her letter to the mother of her [maybe] adopted daughter.

Well, so far anyway, it's doing fine:

NBC's Broadway-themed drama ''Smash'' dropped off as expected from its strong week-earlier premiere but still had enough to lead its hour among young adults on Monday, capping a winning night for the net, whose ''The Voice'' continues to look impressive.
According to preliminary national estimates from Nielsen, NBC followed up last Monday's post-Super Bowl ratings bonanza with another sweep of the night's half-hours in adults 18-49 (including one tie). As the blind auditions continued on ''The Voice,'' the music competition averaged a strong 5.9 rating/15 share in adults 18-49 and 16.1 million viewers overall , down 12% week to week but an easy timeslot winner over runner-up CBS among adults 18-49 (5.9 vs. 3.6) and the night's No. 1 program across the board. And at 10, ''Smash'' (2.8/7 in 18-49, 8.1 million viewers overall) lost about a quarter of its premiere young-adult audience but prevailed in 18-49 in an hour where NBC was consistently well behind its rivals in the first half of the season.

It was great to see DR Ben and anthony, and, since no good deed foes upunished, the trip home was endless crap: screwd up trains constantly stopping in the tunnels, missing an empty bus and waiting fidsteen minutes for a crowded one, and the final insult? Th damned bus wouldn't take a transfer on my metro card so I paid an extra fare.

This is happening far too often: Ican cpount at least four times in the past month the MTA mechanics have screwed up a transfer and charged me twice. Color me really pissed.

I watched the last half hour of SMASH last night - and it was okay.  As DR JOSE wrote to appease me - the songs are very Broadway NOW - although I think they are really BETTER than what I hear on some CD's from some of the shows I hear today.

I used to buy CAST ALBUMS just because I wanted the Broadway experience - but having been burned SO many times in the last 10 years or so - FLOYD COLLINS, IN THE HEIGHTS, THE LAST FIVE YEARS, RENT - I rarely bother anymore.  And if a composer whose work that I didn't like the first time does a "new" show - I still let it be......JRB I am talking to you.

When I bought CAST ALBUM LP's, I could usually find something I liked.....GOLDEN RAINBOW, MAN WITH A LOAD OF MISCHIEF....but no so much with the new CD's.

When I bought CAST ALBUM LP's, I could usually find something I liked.....GOLDEN RAINBOW, MAN WITH A LOAD OF MISCHIEF....but no so much with the new CD's.

In other words....I may stick with SMASH in spite of DM.


Dean Martin is in SMASH?  Then shouldn't it be called SMASHED?

I thought he was referring to Dinah Manoff.

I had an unexpected and pleasant meeting w/Dear Larry this afternoon at lunch. He was meeting Anthony for some business and I tagged along and we met at Trader Joe's. While there we purchased a chocolate cake and a can of whipped cream for dessert this evening.


And what will you be doing with the can of whipped cream?

It is quite possible.  He was a member of the Church of Scientology.

I just saw the Classical Grammy wins. Judy Sherman, our producer for EILEEN, the Herbert songs and cello/piano music, won best producer this week. I'm really happy for her.

There is a book coming out by some ex-marine turned hustler to the stars during the 40s and 50s who outs just about everybody!  If I get the chance, I'll post the title and author later (unless y'all know about it already...)


There is a story about it in Entertainment Weekly this week.

And how have I spent Valentine's Day? At the dentist! Am I lucky or am I lucky? Actually, it wasn't any of the awful stuff, and the dentist and I discussed what to do about the mysterious erosion problem I have. In over fifty years of practicing, he's never seen this before. He told his assistant to be sure we have good photos of my teeth, partly to monitor the condition and partly because he wants to show them to his students. He teaches at UCLA. Such notoriety I'll have! (I never get ordinary ailments.)

I watched the last half hour of SMASH last night - and it was okay.  As DR JOSE wrote to appease me - the songs are very Broadway NOW - although I think they are really BETTER than what I hear on some CD's from some of the shows I hear today.

I used to buy CAST ALBUMS just because I wanted the Broadway experience - but having been burned SO many times in the last 10 years or so - FLOYD COLLINS, IN THE HEIGHTS, THE LAST FIVE YEARS, RENT - I rarely bother anymore.  And if a composer whose work that I didn't like the first time does a "new" show - I still let it be......JRB I am talking to you.

When I bought CAST ALBUM LP's, I could usually find something I liked.....GOLDEN RAINBOW, MAN WITH A LOAD OF MISCHIEF....but no so much with the new CD's.

In other words....I may stick with SMASH in spite of DM.


Dean Martin is in SMASH?  Then shouldn't it be called SMASHED?

The mini-macs look great, Matthew.

As for "Downton Abbey," it is crack. Crack with Ben & Jerry's Red Velvet Cake Ice Cream on top.

Watching "The Imposters" with Stanley Tucci, Oliver Platt and way too many good people in a movie that's just not funny enough.

I've been watching videos of the individual breeds on the Westminster site.  For some reason the Bernese Mountain Dogs won't work.   I expect I can watch tomorrow.  There are a couple of dogs I want to see.

DR ELMOORE

I probably missed you posting this, but did you go see The Most Happy Fella @ NYU? I understand they used a lot of the material that was dropped prior to opening of the original production. Did they use any of your orchestrations?

Is there one more "Downton Abbey" episode this season? Or was this week's the last? Anybody now?

With minor trepidation I will be accused of having spoiled something, there is a "Christmas Special" which is kind of like the ninth episode of the season.  Since we went ahead with watching it on BD, I'm not sure what they broadcast last week--if it involved some illness, that was probably the eighth episode, so there should be one more.

I have been utterly unable to take part in Criterion's 50% off sale despite their assurances their website is "fixed."

That is a dangerous sale.

I saw a Christmas tree in an image from something upcoming, but I couldn't tell if that were next episode or next season.

I was wondering what that was when I read the episode info on line.  We can only hope :)   We can never have enough!!!

I'm just not sure what PBS is doing with this, but I can tell you on the BD there is a ninth episode listed as a "Christmas special."  Perhaps it was broadcast over Christmas in the UK, plus it takes place partially at Christmastime.  It's a wonderful wrap up to the season, you'll love it.

call me hopelessly old fashioned but I somehow found the close up of her lone shoe on the patio followed by  a shot of the fireworks overhead more romantic and scintillating the the full scale  soft porn scenes  of today's films

I have literally been entering fixes all day long, save for lunch and a trip to the mail place.  The only breaks I've had were a phone conversation with muse Margaret, going over stuff from the first half of the book, and watching the second half of the Woody Allen documentary.  I'm going to take a shower now - somehow I thought I'd be further along, but I have another two hundred pages to go.
