Well, you've read the notes, the notes were filled with surprise, and now it is time for you to post until the surprised cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: NOBBY!
-
Congrats on the surprise birthday party, BK! That's a great picture at the end of yesterday's posts!
-
Last night, I went to see a local production of Nuncrackers, featuring a friend of mine, Lauren O'Neill, who played Yoni in The Brain From Planet X, here in Olympia. HOWEVER, for last night's performance only, Lauren didn't play Robert Anne...she wasn't there! Evidently, this was a pre-planned absence from the run because it was in the program that Heidi Fredericks, the director would play the role. She was very good, but I would've liked to have seen Lauren. Oh, well.
-
Otherwise, the show was cute and very well done...not hysterically funny, but still very good. It seemed a little too scripted, whereas other iterations of the Nunsense story that I've seen that Capital Playhouse has done seemed much more improvisatory.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
I have a day of volunteering and then I come back early to go to the office for my performance evaluation. At least I know it's a good evaluation so I don't have to worry.
I'm still counting the years until retirement.
-
Wonderful notes today!
-
Sounds like a wonderful party-- how terrific!!
-
Good morning, all.
The party sounds great, BK.

That was the same thought I had about Nunset Boulevard. Too forced, too scripted.
-
Great photo of the you and the cake, BK.
-
congrats on the surprise
-
good morning to all
-
I don't know if there are any Ethel Merman fans or Annie Get Your Guns fans, but here is a scene from the 1966 TV version of the show. I had read that this show was considered "lost". So I found it a real treat to see it.

Good morning, all!
Once again, I slept longer than I intended and I will shortly head out to City Center; it's another day with Encores!, Joshie, and Lord knows who else.
BK, what a neat surprise!
More coffee!
-
Good morning!
-
That was a great surprise, BK!

;D

Morning.
Sandy Bainum This Christmas, is just wonderful.
Listened to it all last night. Did not want to turn it off.
And to work.
Wonderful Thursday everyone.
:)
-
Good morning, all.
Now that's a great surprise birthday party! What an excellent evening it must have been.
(BK got better gifts than DR vixmom! :o )
Great picture, too. Hope we will get to see more when you have them.
-
Congrats on a really special surprise birthday party bk.
Sounds like someone was excellent in planning it, great picture.
;)

And my day begins.
Off for the drive into the sunrise. Always beautiful mornings. Great way to start the day.
;D

What a great surprise BK! Sounds lovely.
-
DR Vixmom, I actually like the watch. Only thing is I prefer silver to gold. How heavy is it? The trend definitely seems to be bigger watches for women.
As for the wallet, is that the color you got?
-
Happy Birthday, BK!
Why did I think your birthday was December 8th?
-
TOD:
A surprise birthday party wife Sandy threw for me 3 months before our wedding.
-
SURPRISE!!!
It sounds like a wonderful time was had by all.....and cooperation made it possible!!
Yes hopefully we will see more photos.
Thanks for the clip DR MIKE. I remember seeing some of that "special" and thinking Merman sure was OLD to play Annie Oakley....I was used to Gail Davis.

What a wonderful way to celebrate!

Good morning. What a wonderful surprise, BK!
-
Happiest of Birthdays, old pal! May it be a creative and entertainng one!
-
The birthday is indeed this Saturday, the 8th. There would have been no way to surprise me on that day so this was very clever doing it a few days early.
-
I'm up and shaved and shortly I'll shower and then be on my way to our second day of shooting.
-
Thanks for the link to the review. I've seen some of the concert footage now (and will watch the rest this evening) and I do have some work to do before she does the NY show. Without a few hours to actually work on the performance subtleties, a few of the numbers that need to be very subtle, including my song, are just overplayed a bit. Some songs just need to be sung well and the song gets to do the rest of the work. She does my song perfectly on the album because I was there to insure that.
-
But interestingly, the patter and structure of what I saw works really well.
-
BK, your surprise party put a big smile on my face! And that pic of you with the cake was wonderful! What great pals you have!!
-
TOD:
The birthday that sticks in my brain is (I think) my 5th birthday. All us kids played Musical Chairs and then we each got to put coloring into pears that my mom was canning.

BK, there was an article on PSYCHO in the ArtsBeat blog in the Times. I hope it's Ok that I put a link to your Outside the Box episode on PSYCHO there in the Comments Box.

BK - Your link to your PSYCHO spoof with Brad Oscar is the top comment there. (I'd put a different comment in the comment underneath it, no connection to your link.)

Thursday morning greetings! I slept quite late today to make up for the 3 hours I was awake in the middle of the night. Too much on my mind, I guess.

Lunch Time

Slow news day, it would appear.

I noticed yesterday that an actress from THE MUSIC MAN died. I don't recall who it was and it wasn't posted here on HHW, as I would have expected it to be...I will hunt down the info for those who might want to know.

It was Susan Luckey who passed away.

TOD:
I have had some good birthdays and some forgettable ones (mostly all the birthdays since I turned 50), but my most memorable birthday was my 40th. I was in Naples, Italy, serving with NATO. My mother and Aunt Doris (her sister, who lives across the street from her) had visited me in the late spring and we'd had a wonderful time. And about a month before my birthday, a good friend from Oakland (Bill, with whom I had served on USS Carl Vinson from 1984-87) asked if he could come for a week or so.
I met Bill in Rome where we "did" the Eternal City, including the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican, and trampled the grounds of the Forum and the Colisseum and the rest of Rome's ruins. We also had our "Roman Holiday" moment at La Bocca della Verità, which is an image carved from marble of a man-like face, located in the portico of the church of Santa Maria. (In thye movie, it's the big face with the open mouth that Gregory Peck sticks his hand inside and pretends he can't get it out).
Then we took a train to Florence were we "did" everything all good tourists there do, including leisurely tours of the galleries/museums and taking photos with famous objets d'art. My birthday fell somewhere during our time in Florence. From Florence, we went to Naples to my villa.
Bill then called a friend of his who lives part-time in Australia (he owns a 3,000-acre ranch outside Perth, and my friend had been hosted at that ranch with other officers from my ship when we made a port call in Perth). Jorg is a native German from a family very big in industrial goods. He has a villa on the Isle of Ischia off the coast of Naples. Happily, he was in residence at the time, so we were invited there for a day...so I drove us to the port of Naples and we took a ferry to Ischia where we were met by Jorg in his boat. We got a tour of the island from the boat, swam in spots where thermal springs arose from the ocean floor and then had lunch at a ristorante that is only accessible by (1) water or (2) down the sheer face of a cliff. The lunch easily lasted three hours during which time a lot of white wine (wine served in carafes with sliced peaches inside them) and fresh fish was consumed. When we finally docked, we took a jeep ride to Jorg's villa. The scenery was quite spectacular (much of the landscape of Ischia is rocky upthrust and all the houses/villas/apartments are carefully planned/built for maximum appeal).
I was immediately attracted to a white multi-level villa much higher than where we were. The villa was half-covered in bright purple bougainvillea. I nudged Bill and pointed it out. Five minutes later we were at that same villa...Jorg's villa! I did mention Jorg was from a German family big in "industrials", didn't I? Apparently, they're loaded. The villa is spectacular. We roamed the grounds, got a tour, discussed the landscaping, and then rested (napped) before dinner which his "kitchen staff" prepared. A huge market umbrella was set up over the table laid out for dinner on one of the villa's three beautiful terraces. The dinner was traditional, with salad and pasta, wine and cheese/fruit, and, finally, cafe! It was a wonderful evening. The next morning, breaksfast was laid out on a table under an umbrella on another terrace (which captured the morning sun).
We returned to Naples that afternoon and laid out our plans for my friend's two remaining days. We toured, extensively, the remains of Pompeii and Herculaneum (modern-day Ercolano) over those two days. I finally put Bill on a train back to Rome where he had booked a room in the hotel where we'd stayed upon his arrival...and he treated himself to one more day of sightseeing before going to the airport.
It was a wonderful "birthday week" for me, too. My "present" from Bill was the OBC to "She Loves Me" on CD! Very memorable time.

Also, RIP, Dave Brubeck!

Indeed. And I cannot imagine the cause of her death being described as "just old age". What is up with that??
RIP.

From DR Vixmom:
this is the watch http://www.michaelkors.com/p/Michael-Kors-Michael-Kors-Parker-Glitz-Watch-Golden-GOLDEN/prod9800002_cat20403_cat35701_/?index=22&cmCat=cat000000cat145cat35701cat20403&isEditorial=false
I would get dizzy trying to see the time on that.
-
The wallet isn't my style, too big, but it is nice. I could see taking it when I traveled.
-
From DR Vixmom:
apparently these are THE watch to have this year --- I just ain't got no taste and style
;D
Will he know if you don't wear it?
Never mind, I see you will have to wear it.
-
Bruce, nice surprise party and cake! :)
-
Why did I think your birthday was December 8th?
Because it is.
-
I always wanted a surprise birthday party, it never happened and now I don't really care. My sweet 16th party, which almost didn't happen, was special. The year Keith surprised me with a trip to Williamsburg, just the two of us, was extra nice.

I'm off to Medford to do a medical test I don't want to do. Better safe than sorry.
-
TOD - when I was in college my birthday was always during the study days preceding fall semester final exams. My sophomore year (1969, 19th birthday), I was studying away in my dorm room and one of my friends who lived down the hall knocked on my door and invited me to her room "to see a knitting project she'd been working on." The room was packed with friends who yelled SURPRISE! and it was a great study break.
-
More TOD - DR Elmore was the next one to surprise me in 1975 at the first company meeting for our upcoming YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN, which he was directing and in which I'd been cast as Lucy. At the end of his remarks he invited me up front with him and I thought I was in trouble or something. Here came the other Lucy with a blazing cake and they presented me with Snoopy autograph hound signed by the cast & crew.
-
I'm up - and have been for quite a while. Been shooting off emails, dealing with stage managers, planning Liturgy, etc. Funny how time flies by when you're sitting at your computer.
On that note, (a ALW D-flat) has anyone here made an mp3 of the movie version of "Scrooge" with Alfred Finney that they might want to share? If not, well,then that's ok. One of these days, I'll sit down with the DVD and rip a soundtrack recording, but for now, I'm being lazy and just really want to hear it.
-
Even more TOD - last birthday surprise I had was 12 years ago. We were having a family gathering here for what I thought was an early Christmas celebration with my sister's family. Turned out to be a 50th birthday party for me, complete with a cake with one of my toddler photos on it (ala BK's book cover). I saved that part and took it to work and my friends said it was kind of creepy to be eating my face.

Matthew, I'm pretty sure that I did this. I can check when I get home tonight...hopefully, I'll remember.

TOD:
While I love other people's surprise birthdays, I'm NOT a birthday party type at all when it comes to my own, far preferring a (planned) quiet dinner at home or someplace nice with just a small group of close friends. That having been said, there were a few times when some group or other surprised me with something and it was of course perfectly enjoyable.
I might be forgetting something over the years, but one of the most memorable times was when I piano-conducted a small local production of RUNAWAYS. It just happened that my birthday coincided with our closing night, and the kids wanted to use the cast party to have a surprise birthday thing for me. They were such a great bunch, and that night was really sweet, enjoyable, and more memorable than many an event.
-
Topic of the Day:
My most memorable birthday was my 21st birthday. I was going to Western Washington University and my suite-mates wanted to throw me a disco/kegger birthday. I had several Donna Summer albums and we decided that that would be the music that would be playing. They supplied the money and I actually bought the keg ON my 21st birthday. We made invitations and photocopied them and gave them to a lot of people that I didn't even know. I put that gifts weren't required, but keychains were preferred. I got quite a few and only one was a duplicate. I don't drink but I choked down the one beer that they made me drink. I didn't even get a buzz, but it was a fun night! ;D
-
Off to the University of Dayton to help evaluate student presentations in my friend's grantwriting class - bye for now!
-
Oh, before I leave - DR TCB, I laughed out loud when you suggested we buy Lauren a sports team! Now, why didn't I think of that?
-
I am home from City Center, and I have no plans at all for the evening. I like it that way.
-
I haven't seen a James Bond film in a theater for years, so I'm going out to catch SKYFALL before it leaves the local faux-IMAX screen.
By the way, has anyone noticed it's winter out there? In temperature, I mean. (And I don't want it to be winter in any other way. Not now, please.)
-

This weekend I have 3 concerts all with different music. Two with the concert band and one with the flute choir. Think maybe I should practice the music that was emailed to me last night
-
Mmm, fresh (albeit frozen) walleye. Sounds like a good dinner.
-
That was nice of him DR Cilla, and congrats on the outcome!
-

LOL. I had big plans for my 30th only we moved to NJ just before my birthday.
-
My body, especially my shoulders, especially my right shoulder, is a little sore after the awkward position of an MRI machine. Still it was far better than when I did this while I was in the study at the NIH. No vibes as experience tell me I should be fine by tomorrow morning.
-
And the word of the day is: NOBBY!
That causes a knee-jerk reaction.

Morning.
Sandy Bainum This Christmas, is just wonderful.
Listened to it all last night. Did not want to turn it off.
And to work.
Wonderful Thursday everyone.

I agree. The whole CD is first-rate. I think the whole world ought to know about this uplifting Holiday album.

'night

Nice review for BK and Sandy's Christmas album:
http://www.talkinbroadway.com/sound/index.html
Boy, wait until Guy Haines reads that the reviewer thought it was BK on the CD!
-
Page four? Four pages?
-
This errant and truantness has got to stop.
-
Had a long but really fun shoot day - got great stuff, wrapped an hour early. I spent ninety minutes on the first number, which is very unusual but I knew the subsequent two numbers would go quickly, which they did and we wrapped the first episode right on time. The afternoon stuff, even though there were four songs, went wonderfully and quickly. And I cannot say enough good about Adrian Zmed - hilarious, great to work with and this episode, which I was a little concerned about, may be the most visually interesting and now I think it's going to be very funny, as well.
-
Then I grabbed a sandwich and a cup of soup and I also picked up one package at the mail place.
-
I'm exhausted but I now have to find a scene partner for Adrian for tomorrow's set-up scene - all his friends are busy.

TOD: I've never wanted a surprise party, and thankfully, I haven't received one.
Fine times with friends would have to be the best birthdays of all.
That may sound contradictory, but, in my book, it isn't.
-
Went to a wine tasting tonight and enjoyed some Champagnes that I can't afford. Then some French chardonnays and sauvignon blancs, followed by some Burgundies and more. Fun.
-
SKYFALL was VERY LOUD fun. Partly the fault of the movie, even more the fault of the theater which apparently believes it is playing everything to teenage boys. Well, Hollywood believes it's playing everything to teenage boys, too, so there you are. But I usually luck out going to this particular theater on weeknights -- I shared the IMAX auditorium with all of (count 'em) ten other people. For the most part, I have to say I had a very enjoyable evening of it.
-
The tasting was in one half of a French restaurant, so I just stayed there for dinner because I discovered that a couple of friends were working there. I treated myself to three appetizers: baked clams, two enormous marrow bones, and a beet salad that reminded me of the fresh beets we used to pick out of the back yard. I was one happy camper.
-
Yeah, ChasSmith, movies are so loud these days I don't enjoy them in the theater much any more.
-
Finished my four days of orientation training. I may have worked for this place for almost two years, but I learned a lot about the place, not the least of which were the benefits, some of which still amaze me.
-
But that's not enough to get us to Page Five!
-
Where is it lurking?
-
Yeah, ChasSmith, movies are so loud these days I don't enjoy them in the theater much any more.
There were six previews. With one exception, you could have randomly swapped their sound effects tracks with probably no one being the wiser. I kid you not. By the way, one was a "catalog" feature -- JURASSIC PARK. Well, guess what. I'm here to tell you the 3D release next spring is going to sound just like IRON MAN and a thousand others. They're not turning the knob up to eleven now. It's more like one hundred eleven. I mean on the film itself. I know that one was famous for its thundering DTS soundtrack, but there's no way it sounded like the crap I heard tonight.
-
Nope. Didn't care for Jurassic the first time. I doubt I'll catch it when it's been made even louder.
-
Here we go.
-
Five!
-
It was Susan Luckey who passed away.
I cannot imagine her as being 74! RIP, Susan Luckey!
The article said she was best known for THE MUSIC MAN. I suppose her role was larger iin that film, but I always liked her best in CAROUSEL Of course, if you watch the clip from CAROUSEL, at the end you can click on the Graduation Scene. So, I watched it (of course) and I cried (of course).
-
SURPRISE!!!
It sounds like a wonderful time was had by all.....and cooperation made it possible!!
Yes hopefully we will see more photos.
Thanks for the clip DR MIKE. I remember seeing some of that "special" and thinking Merman sure was OLD to play Annie Oakley....I was used to Gail Davis.
Merman was OLD to carry the tablets for Moses!

The British stage version starring Anthony Newley has about four additional songs, all of them sung by Scrooge. When I was cast as Scrooge, I had no idea how many additional songs I had to learn that weren't in the film.

LOL. I had big plans for my 30th only we moved to NJ just before my birthday.
How do you have big plans for your own surprise party?
-
Wow! We have a crowd here. A small crowd, but a crowd none the less.
-
Now THAT is a Christmas present I can truly appreciate!!!
-
I am getting excited --- in four more days I will be seeing the Mystery of Edwin Drood!!
Can't wait to hear how you like it. If you se Rupert, be sure and tell him hello from me. Don't know if he'll be there that night, but he's there a lot

My old co back in the old days was very prosperous - every August they threw a big party for the office at the Yacht club in Huntington where they had an all you could eat buffet....featuring trays and trays of whole steamed lobsters, a raw bar, burgers, franks, sausages, steak....one year the party fell on my birthday --- my 40th birthday in fact!!
Now that was a celebration!

Is the show still in previews, or has it opened?

I want to know what the plans are for THE NUTTY PROFESSOR.

And on my 51st birthday we celebrated in Canada--- at my neice's wedding!
-
When I was in high school I went to a month long music camp and was there on my birthday. My parents sent a cake. My room mate got me a cake, the RA in my dorm got me a cake and some friends at camp got me a cake. I had 4 birthday cakes!!! It got to be funny and I had a great time sharing with every one
-
And this year for 55 we celebrated in Canada again - my niece kindly presented me witha a grand nephew!!

Yes, I believe Mr. Robards mentioned that in his autobiography.

It opened Mid November. It's a limited run and was just extended to March 10. I'm still hoping to go see it.

I don't know any details, but I think there are still plan to go forward with it

I don't think we need to worry about a frenzy. We are nearing Page 6.

I hope so. I think that this was a great idea for a new musical.

I just read that Susan Luckey was in the 1955 Broadway production of PETER PAN with Mary Martin.

Did Vixmom leave us without a goodbye?

Cilla, do you have any idea when you are going to be able to get to New York?
-
No I don't.

Thank you, Cilla. I was just hoping that you would call Rupert and ask him.
-
LOL, He doesn't talk to me about his works in progress, well not that often. We usually communicate via email
-
TCB - I just sent you a message
-
FJL - Nightline is all about the Queen's Corgis!

I really have to laugh. I have tons of clients who fled Guatemala and are trying to get asylum here. McAfee flees TO Guatemala and seeks asylum there...and he's denied.

Did Vixmom leave us without a goodbye?
sorry I was making Vixdad a cuppa
-
Well it's tomorrow on the Island that's long....work comes early

-
Well, my work here is done.
G'night!

I watched the 1957 to 1980 episode of Broadway: The Golden Age on Blu and Ray. It's as I remembered it - bland, not very well done, and not compelling.
-
Where is it lurking?
With the turkey, of course
-
Not the best dress rehearsal, so tomorrow's opening should be awesome!!!
-
Tonight's performance of "The Wind in the Willows" went quite well. The stage manager needed the night off (his wife is performing in the chorus in Elf in Seattle), so the director called the show. She only missed one cue (it was a couple of beats late), but otherwise everything went very smoothly. The audience thoroughly enjoyed the show. A couple of friends of mine were there tonight and one, Christine, took a picture and posted it on Facebook. Check me out. ;)

I'm up - and have been for quite a while. Been shooting off emails, dealing with stage managers, planning Liturgy, etc. Funny how time flies by when you're sitting at your computer.
On that note, (a ALW D-flat) has anyone here made an mp3 of the movie version of "Scrooge" with Alfred Finney that they might want to share? If not, well,then that's ok. One of these days, I'll sit down with the DVD and rip a soundtrack recording, but for now, I'm being lazy and just really want to hear it.
I think I have the album, but I have no idea how to shift it over to an mp3.
There was a CD of the London stage version of the movie, but I don't have it. (I know, that doesn't help much, does it?)
The British stage version starring Anthony Newley has about four additional songs, all of them sung by Scrooge. When I was cast as Scrooge, I had no idea how many additional songs I had to learn that weren't in the film.
There's also a newer stage version with Tommy Steele that's a bit different than the Anthony Newley version.
