Well, you've read the notes, the notes had French and a Randy Vicar tale, and now it is time for you to post until the French Canadian cows come home.

I, too, am glad to hear about the update for the Radio Show and the site in general.

I really like Donald's show but it's such a pain in the arse to listen to (my loathing of Real Player as a piece of software knows no bounds) and also the fact that I have to go somewhere else to find it makes me miss many of the broadcasts.

Good morning, all.

I was so wiped out last night from having finished my silly taxes.  I should never take the extension because all I do is put it off again to the last minute and have to soil a perfectly good day or two in October.  And that is just wrong.

Ahhhh, coffee.

Well according to my nook facebook page you liked this along while back.  The title of the book is something else, maybe Conan Doyle, can't remember at the moment, and has an introduction about Doyle & the doctor who was the inspiration for Holmes.  I ordered it free off of you.

I was trying to understand what this meant. At first I thought you meant i liked the book on goodreads. But now I think that you mean that it was one of the free books on facebook (on one of the pages that lists free books everyday). That would make sense on how I could have liked it without knowing about this book.  Since facebook isn't giving people all their pages posts in their newsfeeds you are encouraged to like/comment on posts so more of those posts show up in your newsfeed. That must have been what happened. I "like" a lot of ebooks that do appear in my newsfeed so that i'll continue to get more posts about the books. :)

I did watch the extra features on THE LUCY SHOW SIXTH AND FINAL SEASON set that arrived on Friday.

I like to see Lucy's out takes, although she can get very cross with others....including Gale Gordon - when they have to go back....

And after a few tries in a scene at the bank with Ralph Storey......and her own goofs.....she finally turns to audience and says:

"Boy, I'm having a hell of a time tonight, aren't I?"

Good morning, all!

I wish I'd received an important envelope yesterday! I'm down to around $20 in quarters and then it's destitutionuntil the invoice payment arrives (usually on Thursday) or Social Security lands in my account (hopefully on Wednesday). Tomorrow morning I can go ti the bank and file a claim on that $86 charge from Friday, although it may not land until Tuesday, which means a day's postponement of filing it.

So, I stayed in bed around 10:30, before I decided enough was enough, got out of bed, dressed and began the laundry. I will shortly make the bed and spend the day watching television.

DR ChasSmith, I listened to the complete TER recording of KISS ME KATE with Sir Thomas Allen and Diana Montague; I like a lot of the McGlinn recording, but it's at the office. One of the things I inherited from McGlinn was his full score for KISS ME KATE, and it was fun to follow it.

I am pleased to announce that my one-person stage play, ORSON WELLES, is now available as an audio book download, available on Amazon, iTunes and audible.com.

Edward French, who is absolutely amazing as Orson Welles, and I have adapted this play into a radio style drama, complete with sound effects and music.  If you are a fan or admirer of Orson Welles, I think you will be pleased, and you can get a free download of the production by visiting:

http://www.audible.com/pd?asin=B009P8KNYQ

Incidentally, acting and doing audio recordings is just a sideline for Ed French.  His day job is as a special effects make-up expert.  He has won an Emmy and has also been Oscar-nominated for his work in this field.

DR Elmore:  Full score.  Nice!  An original, or one of his own creation?  Right now I'm blank on whether KATE was a McGlinn research/reconstruction project, like SHOW BOAT.

No. The KISS ME KATE was recorded from Tams-Witmark parts. I would guess that McGlinn took all of the existing full scores, assembled them to match the final routining of the numbers in the Tams-Witmark edition, and created new scores from parts for the missing numbers, since they're in his hand. He had Russell Warner orchestrate the numbers that were cut for an Appendix.  The full scores were created so that the EMI producer and engineer had full spcres to follow on all numbers in the Abbey Road sessions.

The TER recording uses the Tams-Witmark materials as well, and fills out the second disc with three Porter overtures, including the one I wrote for JUBILEE.

They are on Fall Break so soon? 

Since you are not a student at DePauw, I think you need to drive to the rehearsal space every night, then sit in your car and run your lines until the time you are normally done with rehearsal.

At the library today, I found "101 Cozy Casseroles." Old-fashioned and delish-sounding. Don't know where to start. Reuben Casserole with corned beef and Swiss mixed in sounds wonderful, so does Mom's Texas Hash with ground beef, onions and peppers.

Then there's something called Rumbledthumps with potatoes, cabbage and Cheddar cheese. White Cheddar-Cauliflower Casserole, yes.

I have read both Sunday papers, had a bite to eat, and talked to my Mom on the phone.

I *so* miss the ritual of reading Sunday papers.

So why, you ask, do I not just do it?  They're still out there, you know.

Two reasons - both local.  In the past few years, the NY Times has just about priced itself out of all reason.  Not only in regard to home deliveries out in the 'burbs, but, as I understand it, even on the streets of Manhattan.  I love real newspapers more than I can say, but it got to a point where I had to say:  no more.  The other reason is that the distributor for out-of-town newspapers kept changing changing local carriers on me and delivery got really undependable.

In my last year or two in L.A., the Times was 25 cents daily, $1.00 Sunday.  Perfect.  And it was a beloved ritual to pick it up on a Sunday morning at the newsstand around the corner, or at the Mayfair Market along with my Van de Kamp cinnamon rolls, and enjoy it with my french press coffee on my little balcony.  It was a shock to get here and find the NY Times at about twice that (I don't remember now), but now I'd be elated to have those prices back.  It's just beyond belief.
Title: Re: SUR LA TERRE
Post by: ChasSmith on October 14, 2012, 05:52:05 PM
Plus, the many ways in which the NY Times has consolidated its sections and cut back on coverage, it's just depressing.  I take what I can off the web, and that's it, I'm afraid.

Oh, meant to ask you that.  I figured one would be the Enquirer!   :)

At any rate, I wasn't putting the LA Times or NY Times up against others -- those were just the "big" ones most central to me.

It's amazing to me that, no matter how accustomed I've gotten to reading papers online, I can pick up the occasional Sunday -- actually, even daily -- paper, sit down with it, and find a thousand percent more things of interest in it than I do online.

SO, this has been quite a day.  I decided to use my lawnmower to mulch the leaves in the yard.  I ended up mowing the whole yard, then i decided I probably should start packing up all the outside stuff since I'll be busy most of the next two weekends and I can't count on the weather in November.  SO, I ended up cleaning out the second side of the garage (where I store stuff, not the car) and carrying in the tables, chairs, lions and tiki cat.  I put the electric bike in the basement and hung the regular bike from the hook in the garage.

It is a Nook app called Nook Friends.  It said you liked "Best Books" by Conan Doyle 1 year ago.
Wow a year ago that is very odd since I've only had an ereader for 10 months. But why am i listed as a nook friend when i do not have a nook.   :)

You can imagine my surprise when a ton of friend's showed up on my Nook.  It is coming through facebook.  I don't have a clue where you can "like" a book on FB.  If I click on a book from my Nook friend it opens with a price.  I've gotten some good deals this way & read wonderful books I might have missed.
The only place I can recall liking ebooks is thru the pages that post deals.

I really am clueless.  All I know is somehow they are getting the info.

Since I refuse to pay for the online version of our local paper I only read the headlines ;D

Jane, do you get a few articles free before you have to pay to read it?

Yes but I try to be selective in case I want to read something later on.

Has anyone read Killing Lincoln or Killing Kennedy?   I thought they were both very good.  No matter what you think of Bill O'Reilly, these books are really good if you are interested in history.   
I heard the same thing this week. Maybe the library has it on audio.

I do the same and end up reading all the rest at the end of the month.

So, why is there a need to have a film version of "Memphis"?

Me want pancakes, too.

Today, I went to my sister's and she made me some very delicious pancakes.  She and her daughter had some earlier in the day (actual breakfast time), but I didn't go over until the early afternoon, so it was more like a breakfast for lunch.  Very good. :D

Yeah, but couldn't we get a film of something better? I mean, even "Road Show" is better than "Memphis."

So, I have a couple of Jimmy Fallon specials on my DVR that I'm now recording to my DVD burner so that I can delete them and have actual DVDs.  The first, original broadcast in February, "The Best of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," was a bunch of music segments, most were spoofs or funny songs, etc.  The second one that I'm watching now is called "Jimmy Fallon's Primetime Music Special."  The problem is that I've gotten about 25 minutes in and EVERYTHING was on the first special...the first six, count 'em, SIX songs were duplicated!  What's that all about?
Title: Re: SUR LA TERRE
Post by: George on October 14, 2012, 08:19:45 PM
Okay...they just finally have a new song.  I think I'll put the two shows on one disc and delete the duplicates.

I have to say that Jimmy Fallon is really good at this kind of thing.  I've enjoyed everything, but I just don't need to repeat any of them.

Also saw Looper last week.   That was really really really good.

Good to hear.

I want to see that.  I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt and time travel movies.  Put the two together and I'm there. :)

I watched the jump live today.  Pretty incredible.  A 24 mile high freefall.

I watched some of the jump on YouTube.  Amazing.  The Miracle of Modern Technology.

I might have liked the 3 Way more if I wasn't in such serious pain today.  My entire back (not just the lower back) is killing me.  I can barely move without stabbing pains.  Once I get some posts up, I am going to take two pills and call myself in the morning.

The local paper here is The Olympian (http://www.theolympian.com).  It's free.  They do have an e-edition (http://www.theolympian.com/pages/Eedition/) for $5.95 a month that's just like the print edition.

Back from a lovelier than lovely dinner at Stanley's - had the salmon pasta with a light tomato cream sauce - out of this world.
