Good morning, all! I got home last night around 7pm. and by 9 o'clock I was ready for bed. I got a lot of sleep last night, so I hope today's mixing session goes smoothly and speedily and we're finished ear;oer tpday.  The difficult number is the opening of Act Three, which was recorded in segments over four days, three days last August and the choir boys in February 2012. Yesterday, we got through all of Acts One and Two, as well as everything in Act Three except for the Opening and Finale. After the Opening of Act Three, we have the Finale Ultimo and the six Appendix numbers to mix, listen to the whole thing and tweak or freeze.

Well, when I was growing up - TV specials were looked forward to with great anticipation......they always had a special BOX of information in the TV Guide giving a cast/song list.  And most of them were in COLOR....especially on NBC, although CBS and ABC finally caught up.

Favorites:

Julie & Carol at Carnegie Hall

A Midsummer Night's Dream - probably on Kraft Music Hall, maybe not

Ann-Margret - I forget the exact title

A couple of Judy Garland specials....before she had her own show....and of course all of the Lucille Ball Specials!

Those that I didn't finish watching:

a couple of Frank Sinatra shows that weren't so hot....and Nancy Sinatra: Movin' On....which was not very much fun

I've never been one for television specials, but the one that I do remember aired back n the 1950s...and I don't believe it's available on home video.

I don't even recall the exact name of it (Ford?), but it featured a terrific duet with Ethel Merman and Mary Martin.

And I m home from the mixing session. The final mix is finished and ready to be mastered. The Act Three Opening took us two and a half hours, and we assembled it in seven sections: orchestra openng and piper, first half of the choir boys, second half, the big dance, Dinny's Serenade, Lady Maude's solo, and the chorus response and playout. Everything else went smoothly and finished quickly. Then we ran through both CDs, timing spacings between the humbers. I have some liner notes to work on, and then I will veg out.

A new film by Ross Patterson, 'FDR: American Badass,' starring Barry Bostwick and Kevin Sorbo, will be available on DVD and VOD this September 25, 2012 from Screen Media.  'FDR: American Badass' is a slapstick comedy that has the 32nd President of the United States riding a ‘wheelchair of death’ to stop the world from werewolves who carry the polio virus, including werewolf versions of Hitler, Mussolini, and Emperor Hirohito.

I've never been one for television specials, but the one that I do remember aired back n the 1950s...and I don't believe it's available on home video.

I don't even recall the exact name of it (Ford?), but it featured a terrific duet with Ethel Merman and Mary Martin.

It was broadcast in 1953 and it was the Ford 50th Anniversary Television Show

Following a week-long recovery from having crammed in the trilogy, this evening was suddenly the perfect one for getting back into the Spaghetti, and so I have just watched ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST.  Incredible stuff.

I ordered a CD yesterday from CD Baby and got this amusing email:



Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.

A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure it was in the best possible condition before mailing. Our world-renowned packing specialist lit a local artisan candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy.

We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, June 11, 2012.

We hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. In commemoration, we have placed your picture on our wall as "Customer of the Year." We're all exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sigh...
We miss you already. We'll be right here at http://cdbaby.com/, patiently awaiting your return.

That, truly, is the kind of letter Amazon should be sending me these days.

By any chance does anyone here possess sheet music for "All Good Gifts" set to be sung by a soloist?

Back from the evening of excerpts - not well thought out - the authors of Inside Out opted to have a director at the theater put their excerpts together and that proved to be not such a good idea.  The Hazel portion of the evening was very short - thirty-five minutes, four songs, and although I won't mention it in the notes, it's everything you'd think it would be - bad idea, bad execution and kind of pointless.  The book writer knows how to write a funny line and there are a few, but the songs do nothing.  My pal Jane Noseworthy was great as Mrs. B.

I only have a <ahem> pdf of the vocal score.  It looks like it can just be sung by a soloist, unless you have that and need a different key.
