Well, you've read the notes, the notes were pianistic, alarming, and devilish, and now it is time for you to post until the pianistic, alarming, and devilish cows come home.

Good morning, all!

I slept relatively well with no ghostly activity. I will be glad when the weather warms up,though; it was chilly last night. Today, I am back to Toyland for a Fed Ex shipment of binding supplies. Then, tonight at 6:30, I, meet Charlotte for "Jack the Giant Killer." That's my day.

The entire score of "The Good Companions," especially Stagestruck Me, Stage Door John and I'll Tell the World
Petticoat High
Run, Cinderella
Plus, many of the songs already mentioned

Here's a very odd, too-busy version of Stagestruck Me sung by some little girl named Lena Zavaroni.

I like all the Johnny Mercer songs that were previously posted, but my "favorite" is one that he was supposed to write but didn't.

Mercer was supposed to write the lyrics for a Johnny Mandel tune in a movie called THE SANDPIPER.

For whatever reason, he couldn't do tackle it, so the assignment was turned over to my publicity client, Paul Francis Webster, and that resulted in "The Shadow of Your Smile," which won the Best Song Oscar that year.

I've got to think about some dinner before the movie. Hmmm . . .

The first edit of the Epilogue arrived about 30 minutes ago and I've downloaded it. I'll listen tomorrow. I've been thinking about how to divide up the two CDs.

I met Sarah Brightman; she was quite lovely, but I have no urge to sit through her show. It's bad enough on PBS. Too much kitsch.

Here's a question for those of you that have seen SPAMALOT.

POSSIBLE SPOILER!









In the 2nd act, when they find the Holy Grail in the audience, is the person sitting in that seat a "stooge" (i.e. a plant), or is he really a paying member of the audience?

If he's really a member of the audience, how can they be sure he won't discover the Holy Grail under his seat before that point in the show?

It's a terrible quality video, shot from the balcony, but it is still entertaining.

Here's a post...I have just received an Amazon package, and in said Amazon package are the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack (http://www.amazon.com/Mis%C3%A9rables-Two-Disc-Combo-Pack-UltraViolet/dp/B005S9EKCW/ref=sr_tr_sr_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1364333831&sr=1-1&keywords=les+miserables+blue+ray) AND the Deluxe edition soundtrack (http://www.amazon.com/Les-Mis%C3%A9rables-Original-Picture-Soundtrack/dp/B00BG08FKK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364334037&sr=8-1&keywords=les+miserables+deluxe+soundtrack) to "Les Misérables."  








It's amazing to me how fast movies come out on DVD/bluray these days!

TOD:

I like all the Johnny Mercer songs that were previously posted, but my "favorite" is one that he was supposed to write but didn't.

Mercer was supposed to write the lyrics for a Johnny Mandel tune in a movie called THE SANDPIPER.

For whatever reason, he couldn't do tackle it, so the assignment was turned over to my publicity client, Paul Francis Webster, and that resulted in "The Shadow of Your Smile," which won the Best Song Oscar that year.

Another of my all time favorite songs.  Interesting how it came about.

I searched his name on castalbums.org (http://castalbums.org/), then clicked on the link for his songs.  It only lists recordings of stage or movie musicals, not general songs.  I found a few of those on Wikipedia, I think.

My book group is rapidly falling apart.  We are down to eight members from fourteen.  Down to 11 or 12 was fine but it is nice to have a hostess every month.  We are skipping April, the first skip ever.  Now our May person just sent me a note she is dropping out.  I have been expecting it but I thought she would wait until after she hosted.

I returned to the gym today doing everything at lower weights or tension & walked a wee bit slower on the treadmill.  I tested jogging for a minute and it was kind of ok.  Basically I walked 2 miles in just under 30 minutes.

I have been up and down and not staying at the computer for long stretches at a time.  I think my hip is better.  I had a difficult night with it which surprised me since it was much better until I went to bed.

The taxi just dropped me and Charlotte off at 84th and West End, and I am home. I really liked the movie. It's fun, it's a little silly. One of my favorite movies as a kid was THE MAGIC SWORD, with Gary Lockwood as Saint George fighting the dragon. This film is of the very same ilk, only where Bert I. Gordon had a budget of $15.00, Bryan Singer has a budget of $15 billion. The movie plays to a savvy kids' audience: the giants are  booger-eating, farting, belching monsters, a little scary, a little ridiculous, and really gross. Our hero Jack is brave and clever, our princess beautiful and spunky, and Ewan MacGregor is channeling Errol Flynn in THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER. I liked seeing Ian McShane as the kindly king, a good guy for a change, and Stanley Tucci a rotten villan.  I felt I was a kid of twelve again, at a Saturday matinee, and I had a lot of fun.

I figured out why, since the changes in the library eBook site, it is taking so darn long for books to become available.  I can't figure out how to return the Kindle edition I borrowed & read on Keith's iPad.  The site has directions for borrowing but I can't find any for returning books.

In an amazing coincidence, I just read about an orchestration calling for farting, belching and gross...

I saw Sarah Brightman live in Seattle.  I really enjoyed the concert, but my mom didn't like her "pop" music...only her operatic stuff.
Do you like Sarah B.? Then who gives a fig what we think?

At Long Last Love is not a Twilight Time Blu and Ray, but they are handling the release for Fox.

I remember Burt Reynolds quote about this movie on the Tonight Show..."It's okay to step in shit; but don't sing and dance in it."  Of course, I don't think he used the word shit.
