Well, you've read the notes, the notes were musical, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently enrolled in MOOsicals 101.
-
And the word of the day is: MAZUMA!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Good morning, all.
Up too early for a Saturday.
-
La dee DAH de dah dah.
Continued performance vibes for DR CHAS SMITH.
-
I couldn't find DR DANISE's post on the AC Facebook page, so I just commented on DR CILLA LIZ's comment.
-
In other news not related to the sinkhole:
Today is a work day. Oh well.
-
Saturday.....all day.....

TOD:
Comedy Tonight in A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM.
And just to mention one that MR BK did not:
Many Moons Ago from ONCE UPON A MATTRESS
Although I think my favorite is COMPANY.
Then of course there is We're Gonna Tear Up This Town from the musical version of ATTACK OF THE FIFTY FOOT WOMAN.
Not really - just there to see who reads my posts.
-
Rick from DePauw emailed me last night to tell me that there will be about 100 people at the Swing Dance class on Thursday night. !!!!!!!!!!!!
So we shall see what happens!

Had to delete Thunderbird Mail - Comcast wouldn't let me send messages using it.....

LOL! I do.

Goodmorning, all! I have to head down to Toyland and wait for a delivery of toner for our Lexmark printer.
While there, i'll work on several problematic things with ROBERTA, and continue to wait for new scores. We're now a week late on my March 1 deadline forfinish of first draft and I'm a bit pissed over it. On the other hand, I could be working in a job I hate and living for retirement.
I'll check in from there.
I can't thnk of an opening number I hate. Too many shows of the past 30 years I've detested so why worry about their opening numbers? The opening to "A Little Night Music" is confusing: vocal overture, then a dance with characters you've not yet met, all before the libretto kicks in. Nice music but poorly assembled.
-
LOL Thank you DR ELMORE.
And now I have to go to work. Oh well.
-
Most recently - I would say that I really like the opening number in THE DROWSY CHAPERONE.
And of course there is Rock Island from THE MUSIC MAN
-
Good morning.
The other day I was thinking, "That's one of my very favorite opening numbers!" Now I just have to try to remember what the heck I was listening to.
-
And while we are on the topic of musicals today, here is a question for you all:
Mae-Ling seems to be interested in musicals lately. Can you nice folks recommend a few good shows kids can watch that I could get on dvd? So far she has seen the Cathy Rigby version of Peter Pan. We tried watching the movie version of Phantom of the Opera, but it was pretty bad.
So far I have "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" and "Music Man" on my list.
Wae-Ling is still very happy to watch Peter Pan while she is here.
-
I just remembered that I have a boxed set of R&H musicals. So I guess that's a good place to start.

Do you want movie musicals or stage shows recorded on dvd?
I know my niece loved Mary Poppins the musical (she hasn't seen the movie yet).

Morning all!
They still haven't be able to get that poor man's body from the sink hole. They say the people on both sides of that house are moving all of their things out in case the hole starts getting even bigger.
What is really odd is that it is all inside the house. If you look at the pictures, you can't see anything wrong. They say that they don't know why the shell of the house is still standing. I thought living on the left coast would be kinda scary because you couldn't trust the ground not to move but the thought of being swallowed up while sleeping in your bed is totally terrifying!!!!!!1

I think the kids would love "Barnum" with Michael Crawford. It's on DVD and you can rent it from Netflix.

We are at 50 degrees right now. I have question. What temp do you all set your thermostat on when it's cold? I have mine on 68 but it still seems cold in the house. I put the little doggie blankets I found at walmart on the dogs last night. They seem to like them.

I want to say thank you to all of you for posting on the AC board. I don't expect an answer but like Cillia said, it doesn't hurt to ask.

Saturday morning greetings! Snow flurries here in SW Ohio...

When Richard opened the front door to go out for the newspapers, he found a surprise for me from DR Elmore! Thank you, friend of friends!

I couldn't find DR DANISE's post on the AC Facebook page, so I just commented on DR CILLA LIZ's comment.
You have to click more messages and then scroll down. Thanks for commenting on my post. I did another this morning saying I didn't realize there were others who are also upset that Danise hasn't gotten the promised assistance. You should be able to find my post, if not Danise's

I think the stage version of "Mary Poppins" is a piece of garbage, but the young ladies should love the movie. It's fantastic!'They might like the leprechaun in the film of "Finian's Rainbow." Teach them some social injustice! And witchcraft.

Cinderella, Sound of Music, The movie of Mary Poppins is really fun. I loved that as a kid.

Mine is at about 71 at night and when I'm gone and 73 when I'm home. That 2 degrees seems to make a big difference. The biggest thing to do is shut curtains or blinds at night and make sure there aren't air leaks coming in under the door. Since it's not cold all the time there, you can just put a rolled up towel along the bottom of the door.
-
I have posted on Anderson's and Angie's Facebook pages on Danise's behalf. Sure makes you skeptical about what you see on TV, huh?
-
It's Saturday! Either that, or I overslept and will be really unprepared for the office.

TOD:
Love the openings of CAROUSEL and RAGTIME, just to name two.

I always enjoy films set in the business world and I particularly enjoyed NARROW MARGIN about the banking crisis which was on TV yesterday. Kevin Spacey is always perfectly cast in these types of films, looking as he does, every inch the business executive. I came across him when I was in New York in 2007 whilst walking along 47th St:

Good morning, all.
Got 10 hours of sleep last night, which was most welcome.
Great photo, Doug R.

TOD:
The Pajama Game
Destry Rides Again
Threepenny Opera
Do I Hear a Waltz?
Carnival
The entire first scene of "The Most Happy Fella"
Juno
In addition to many mentioned before.
And JRand, I want to see that show. You can't tease us like that. Sit down and write it.
-
We'll have a visit from Mary Linda today, because Paramedic Rob picked up a 24-hour shift at work. This is a first for him.

As for movies to show Mae-Ling, in addition to the ones suggested:
The Wizard of Oz
The Wiz
Singin' in the Rain
The Pirate
Meet Me in St. Louis
Anchors Aweigh
Popeye

Thank you, DR Elmore. I love the entire rest of the musical, but that entire opening sequence has never once "settled" with me. We did it up here in a small venue a few years back, and if I recall correctly we more or less followed the original album cuts on the opening. (Might have left a few other bars in, but not much.) And it worked just f'ing fine, thankyouverymuch, "Stefan" Sondheim. :)

I love it, if only because it was the musical that made me a musical fan, but I also agree that the meaning doesn't become clear until much, much later in the show. Without taking the cast into consideration, what do you think of the opening of the movie of "Night Music"? It seems much cleaner and clearer to me.
-
Off to clean house -- and maybe do laundry.
-
Off to a matinee, the first show in a while
-
Thanks for more suggestions!
-
I'm up, I'm up, after a nightmarish evening of almost no sleep. I think I finally dozed off at six-thirty was up at ten and right back to sleep and up now. So, definitely four and a half hours and maybe an hour besides, but I HATE when this happens on show day, which is frequent.
-
Of course Rock Island Line and Tradition - perfect.
-
Well, I was at Toyland for more than four hours, and by 1:30, neither Curtis nor the toner he said would be delivered had shown up. So I left. I do not like it when people you need to see say they'll be in and never show, nor respond.
So, I'm home.
-
Took a nap. Feel like I could take another.
-
Three!

The King and I, 25th anniversary performance version of Phantom of the Opera, The Sound of Music, and Oklahoma immediately leap to mind

Back from a two-mile jog. Difficult but it felt really good. Made two more nips and tucks to the commentary, just to make two longer things more concise, and especially for one of the bits of patter so it wouldn't break over two pages. Then I printed out those two fixed pages and I'm all set.

Yes, wow!
I didn't know the show was canceled, another tough break here. :(

I'm planning on giving it another day or so and then post on their facebook page.
Good.

On the upside DR Danise, you had a fun trip to NY :)

We are at 50 degrees right now. I have question. What temp do you all set your thermostat on when it's cold? I have mine on 68 but it still seems cold in the house. I put the little doggie blankets I found at walmart on the dogs last night. They seem to like them.
68. When we lived in Massachusetts where it was really cold we kept the house at 62 degrees to reduce our bills. It was Keith's idea yet he was at work during the day and then would turn the heat up when he got home, after I had to bundle up all day-lol

Yes, Cinderella. The Disney version of course.

Well he still has his other show Anderson 360. Just the daytime talk show (the one DR Danise was on) was cancelled. But i think it's still on till May?

I think you are correct, Jennifer. The show was not renewed for another season, but they are still filming.

Just got in from doing the laundry and grocery shopping. You can feel the temp starting to go down. Burrrrrr.
I haven't had a chance to see what is going on with that sink hole but when I came out of Walmart there were no less than six sheriffs cars at the light heading east ( Where the sink hole would be from that spot) unless something else is going on.
-
Stay warm vibes for Danise.
-
Oh gosh, just heard that they will not be recovering the body of the man in the sink hole. How terrible.
-
I don't know when the filming will stop for the show. I know it didn't seem that long after I was on it that they broke for the summer.
I did enjoy the trip to NYC--I got to see our very own DR Elmore!

If you go to the Anderson Live page the posts from other people are on the right, you have to click "more posts" and scroll down. You may have to click it several times. The first I found was Ginny's comment. Or your friend can add another post and just refer to Danise.

Never mind

My bangs are getting too long. They kept falling in my face while I was swimming.
I got lucky at the pool today. Four fast swimmers stayed together in a double lane leaving me alone in a double lane with only one other slow swimmer. That meant we could each have one half of the lane to ourselves. Eventually most of the swimmers left and I had the double lane all to myself. :)
-
DR Jane who made the rule that each swimmer takes half the lane? Here we would still stay on the right side of the lane even if there are two people.
-
I'm glad we don't do that. This way we can go comfortably at our own pace without worrying about someone behind us. I hate the lane that has the metal ladder. It really hurts when I hit it with a body part.

Break a leg to BK!

DR Laura,
When my niece Katie was a little girl I introduced her to MURDER IN THE BLUE ROOM (1944) and she loves it to this day.
(http://www.lovingtheclassics.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/thumbnail/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/m/u/murderintheblueroom.jpg)
...but of course, she had a unusual uncle.

Amazon delivered Perry Mason season 8, set 2 along with the entire series of the short lived 1950s tv show WEST POINT.
WEST POINT is a half hour anthology program where all the stories take place at West Point academy. It is an enjoyable show, and it would seem that the casting director picked most of the actors from Henry Willson's stock of players.
-
Watching "Pina," Wim Wender's documentary about the German choreographer Pina Bausch. Wish I had seen this in 3-D. I may not understand everything I need to when it comes to ballet or modern dance, but watching it just fascinates me, and her dancers, all ages and shapes, are beautiful when they move.

Can we push this to page five soon?

I spent hours listening to my book while cleaning house.

The house is only medium bad. Much more to be done.

But the path to the front door is clear.
-
And that's all I have, folks.
-
TCB, can you help me out?
-
I spent hours listening to my book while cleaning house.
what book are you listening to?
-
Tom Wolfe's "Back to Blood."
-
It's 19 CDs. I listened to about six today.
-
One more.
-
Five!
-
Night, all.
-
I used to listen to a lot of books on tape when I had a 30 mile commute (each way) every day
-
I have now returned from dinner with several old friends from high school.
-
I am afraid I won't be too much help tonight on posting. Since I had to meet my friends at 6:00 p.m.; that meant I had to delay taking my Vicodin until 8. So, I am really hurting now.
-
I certainly hope that someone from the Anderson Cooper will have the decency to respond to Danise. Especially if the AC Show said they would cover the taxes.

Good grief! I can really bore myself.

No wonder everybody else left.

What time is it? I hope BK and company are breaking some legs and having a great evening.
Got through the second weekend of my show with substitute synth player tonight. He was great, and all went very well.

Watching "Pina," Wim Wender's documentary about the German choreographer Pina Bausch. Wish I had seen this in 3-D. I may not understand everything I need to when it comes to ballet or modern dance, but watching it just fascinates me, and her dancers, all ages and shapes, are beautiful when they move.
My copy was delivered today and I'll probably watch some of it tomorrow. I don't know from dance, but I do have an admiration for a couple of little things I'd seen of Pina Bausch -- and I do enjoy me some 3D now and then so I'm looking forward to it.

And while we are on the topic of musicals today, here is a question for you all:
Mae-Ling seems to be interested in musicals lately. Can you nice folks recommend a few good shows kids can watch that I could get on dvd? So far she has seen the Cathy Rigby version of Peter Pan. We tried watching the movie version of Phantom of the Opera, but it was pretty bad.
So far I have "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" and "Music Man" on my list.
Wae-Ling is still very happy to watch Peter Pan while she is here.
Do you want movie musicals or stage shows recorded on dvd?
I know my niece loved Mary Poppins the musical (she hasn't seen the movie yet).
I think the stage version of "Mary Poppins" is a piece of garbage, but the young ladies should love the movie. It's fantastic!'They might like the leprechaun in the film of "Finian's Rainbow." Teach them some social injustice! And witchcraft.
Tommy Steele! What young girl wouldn't love him? I know I did!

Just looked up the story about the sinkhole. Horrifying, and also reminds me of the end of the movie PAINT YOUR WAGON.

Hope the show went well tonight. Well, of course it did!

My best friend got married today. It was a lovely wedding at the Fox Theatre in Redwood City, one of the last of it's kind in the area. Still ornate and charming. We had a flash mob which was awesome. Her and i dated once and I'm the only other person she ever wanted to marry. It was an amazing evening. I even got to dance with my date in public - it really was an epic day. Love is certainly in the air.

I'm back from a wonderful evening and show. Some weird energy in the room, and the fact is I just like our regular Sunday night slot the best, so glad we'll be back on our regular schedule, hopefully for the rest of the year. Jam-packed audience, lots of big laughs, but too many lyric flubs for my taste, some resulting in some big laughs not landing - nothing to do about that but unfortunately it all happened at the beginning of the show - when the audience needs to be comfortable rather than worrying whether a singer is missing lines and fumfering.
