Well, you've read the notes, the notes were le grande, and now it is time for you to post until the le grande cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: TRANCHE!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Good morning, all.
Coffee. Seriously. Coffee.

Good morning, all! I had one nightmare and then a lot of dreams about ROBERTA, which is already a nightmare. I dreamed I was in London meeting Diana Montague to talk about Aunt Minnie's role. She was dressed in yellow and carrying a collection of songs she was going to sing for some concert.
Thank you, some of you, for the vibes and good wishes last night. Since I got our of bed I've sent three emails to singers about ROBERTA, and I hope that I'll hear from them today. I'm also thinking about other baritone possibilities beyond our DR TCB and hoping some more will come to mind. For instance, Edward Watts who played Superman last week is someone I hadn't thought of until just now,
It's another Toyland day. I have a huge proof of the Act One score in front of me, with pages of notes and questions. I still have one vocal arrangement to be redone, the various edits on the score since last year to be put away, and the original scores to be unpacked.
-
It's morning; that's for certain. So far that's all the enthusiasm I can muster.
-
good morn to all

continued vibes for larry

Thursday morning greetings! Getting ready to head to Lima for the Triduum Sacrum - Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday - during which Fr. Richard will conduct services and I will knit, watch basketball, and spend as much time as I can online. We will be home after the Easter Sunday service.

Well, at this rate we'll be getting to page two around dinnertime.

DR Jane - you asked yesterday how many are in my book group. There are 34 on the email list, but many of them are what I call phantom readers. They've either been active members and have moved out of town or they just want to read along with us. We usually have 8-10 at our meetings, with a core of about 5 who are always there.
I just sent a message to the email list announcing that one of our loyal members will become the new coordinator. 15 minutes after my message went out, she sent a survey to the membership and she's already selected a book for July!
-
Good morning, all.

TOD:

Marguerite (though the lyrics are lackluster, to be kind)

Loved the notes, and I'm half thinking about getting that box set of Demy DVDs -- if only they weren't PAL, with the speedup. Not that I'm intimately familiar with the music, but that would nag at me. Anyway, thinking about that and the CD set.
Meanwhile, I've taken out my UMBRELLAS record (just the US one, but at least it's the lovely original issue) and the commercial VHS tape of same, for enjoying sometime in the next couple of days. And I do need to at least get ROCHEFORT on DVD, since I've never seen that.
-
I ssw a really lovely production of UMBRELLAS at Two River a few years ago starring Heather Spore, Max von Essen, Maureen Silliman (who co-starred with BK in Last Starfighter at NYMF presentations) and Patti Perkins
The press annoucement for that production

-
One response so far - definite interest - on ROBERTA. I also sent an email to Roger Grodsky of the CCM musical theatre program at U of cincinnati, asking who among his grads he would cast as Sir Lancelot. Same voice type.
Greetings from Toyland!
-
A new book for GIGI to use the Lerner-Loewe score and directed by one of the worst directors in contemporary American musical theatre? Pooey!
-
GIGI is a MOVIE!
-
Hope you are having a better day DR ELMORE.
HA! DR TCB.....I don't know what I was drinking yesterday! Of course Act One of Hello, Dolly! ends with Before the Parade Passes By and the title tune is in the Second Act..... Good grief.....
At least now I know that I am of the age that I deserve Social Security.
-
Enjoyed the notes very much today.
I bought the LP for Young Girls of Rochefort before I knew anything about any of the movies - and I enjoyed it very much. I have only see Umbrellas on television, but it is most charming.
-
Wait a second, isn't PUT ON YOUR SUNDAY CLOTHES a song from WALL-E?
-
Cilla - I think the stage version of A TIME TO KILL will get done everywhere. Powerful!
-
I dreamed last night I was on a boat to heaven...... wait, nevermind
-
Anyhow, I'm off for the day. Quick Stations of the Cross for our school kids as we send them off for Easter Break. Prep for Holy Thursday Mass, and hopefully a walk in there before the Web show rehearsal in the afternoon.
-
We bought a used printer for the office and everything this goddamned company has sent is defective.

So did I. I saw "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" when it was first released and it looked fabulous on the big screen. I still have the one disc LP which includes a booklet of the (part) dialogue in French and English. It's a film which would really benefit from a Blu-ray release.
-
I'm up - late but I really needed this kind of good night's sleep.
-
Um, page one?
-
This will not do.
-
I suspect we'd best get some postin' goin' on.
-
Page two?
-
This will not do.
-
There is a beautiful Blu and Ray of Young Girls - I'll check and see if it's all-region.
-
Good morning! I have taken today off in order to do some deep spring cleaning. I can barely find my furniture underneath all the debris a dust.
-
But first, checking HHW and Facebook while fortifying myself with some leftover Chinese beef mushroom while listening to some 1970s Bollywood music.
-
As for the topic of the day, I don't know from them, I am sorry to say.

BK: Is it the one on Amazon France for 25 euros?

Hey, someone has a like new used copy for only $118 on Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/NEW-Young-Girls-Of-Rochefort/dp/B003TP3UPA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364494425&sr=8-1&keywords=B003TP3UPA) (US)!

Every year around Easter, the Washington Post has a Peeps diorama contest. Here are this year's winners:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/peeps-show-vii-2013-diorama-contest-winners/2013/03/26/9bdbb408-9638-11e2-9e23-09dce87f75a1_gallery.html?hpid=z2
I love this contest. Because it is much better to play with your Peeps than eat them.
-
And I am home with some more possible candidates for the recording. I will email them while I wait ro hear from the folk to whom I sent earlier requests for communication.
-
You brought the possible candidates home with you, Elmore? All at once?
-
DR Laura congrats on the AC potentially surviving another summer.
-
We are waiting for the plant lady to arrive. She is 12 minutes late which doesn't surprise me since I saw her at the pool today.
Wait, she just arrived.
-
BK: Is it the one on Amazon France for 25 euros?

That's the one - 1000% better than the DVD - it's fantastic and yes English subtitles.
-

Is that what I wrote? I did just send two emails. I've got five candidates at the moment.

I saw that $118 one too, DR George. Just amazing.

Printer and candidate vibes for DR ELMORE.
-
The DVD project is going slowly.....but I am in no rush.
-
Keith & the plant lady are discussing every plant out there so I came back inside.
-
From DR Cilla:
Rupert told me never to talk to him about the film as he has never seen it and had to agree not to watch it to guarantee the play is not based at all on the movie.
Sounds like a smart move to me.
-
The Brotherhood of the Popcorn sounds like the name of a group Keith should belong to, he does love his popcorn.

Wow, I had no idea you had such a large group. The smaller numbers at the meeting make for a better discussion. Too many people there and very few can participate.
What book was selected?

Thank you, all! I have six candidates at the moment: Aaron Lazar, Kyle Guglielmo, Patrick Mellen, Patrick Cummings, John C. Riddle, and Kasey Marino. Kyle and Patrick Mellen and I have communicated. I'm waiting to hear from Aaron, Kasey, John Riddle, and Patrick Cummings who's doing SHOW BOAT with the Washington DC Opera. And I wait.
-
I went outside to say goodbye to the plant lady and was surprised to find the sun is gone and it is drizzling.
-
I just talked to Jason Graae about a few things - the name elmore and Dublin were mentioned.
-
I'm sure in a very good way. :)

It was a very spring like day here today.
-
Very difficult work session with a very unprepared music director - first time this has happened, but he really shouldn't have committed to our show - he has too much on his plate. He's had the music since March 7, a full month ahead - I'm never that far ahead - and he's had the tracks to listen to for tempo, feel, and in certain cases arrangements, but he hasn't listened to any of them, nor has he looked at the music once. He couldn't even play today, and any little arranging I attempted took forever. I'm hoping he will do what he needs to do over the weekend to be prepared for Monday, but I am not confident at all.
-
Yikes!
-
Good evening!
-
What a screwy stupid day this has been.
-
Best idea for anyone today - stay away from ME.
-
And let me just say this while I'm in this foul and fowl mood - if we're not off this damn page in one hour and well off of it, I'm shutting the topic down and maybe it's just time to shut the whole damn thing down save for my notes. This used to feel like a real family here, with tons of posts, fun, informative, and it's like this is now drudgery for people to come here and post. If Facebook is everyone's new home as it appears to be, so be it .
-
Yikes!
DITTO!!!

Pretty.
-
I think my hip is actually improving. It didn't keep me awake last night, reading did but not my hip.
-
Yikes!
DITTO!!!
Seriously.
Envisioning showing up at any kind of a session like that, so unprepared, is enough to inspire ... well, a gastrological event, for starters.
-
I was sure I'd hear from everyone I contacted this morning and . . . only Patrick Mellen and Kyle Guglielmo have responded.
I've been reading the new issue of The Sondheim Review; too many rounds of "isn't Sondheim a god?," but the interview with Jonathan Tunick was really fun.
I need to get my hands on the DVD of the North Carolina School of the Arts and watch Kyle in OKLAHOMA! He's one of the best things about it. The Aunt Eller is terrible, and she's on the acting faculty! I think it's with a bunch of other bootlegs.
-
Whoa. I'd forgotten about it, but now remember reading about that production.
-
Watching Bewitched on ME TV. A very young Maureen McCormick of Brady Bunch fame is playing Endora (it seems she changed herself into a child trick-or-treater on Halloween).
-
I'll be off to Buffalo Saturday. I hope it doesn't snow!
-
Wishing I was back in Cozumel until I was reminded by this pic how windy the first day was and the horrible ferry ride over.

That was the view from our balcony. I seem to be missing a couple of other photos I took from the balcony.

The Pelicans liked to hang out on this roof.

-
There was a bar under the roof. I'm not sure if that was why they liked it there. I never saw them on the ground and there weren't any walls around the bar.
-
Great pics, DR Jane.
I've been in Cozumel only once, for a couple of weeks around Christmas/New Year's 1980, and it was just perfect.
-
I'm watching a few of the web links re the preparation of that OKLAHOMA. Fantastic.

It's a wonderful production: original deMille choreography, wonderful orchestra, and some good performances; I remember liking Kyle as Curly, the Ado Annie, and the Will Parker.

We are settled into our Lima hotel after a smooth drive from Middletown, a nice Maundy Thursday service, and a fun dinner with Bill & Jill and their son Mike. Watching Ohio State trying to make the Elite Eight. They trail by 4 at halftime.

DR Jane, of course I have a good book - Sometimes Mine by Martha Moody, a Dayton physician turned novelist who's speaking at our author luncheon at the end of April.
And, yes, I'll attend tonight and tomorrow, but I told Fr. Richard that he could go to Saturday's Silence in the Cathedral and I'd do Knitting in the Fairfield Inn.
-

Thanks. There were a couple of more sitting on my desktop and now they are gone. I'm wondering if they are the blank pics sitting there that I can't open, why that would be I haven't a clue.

I read what it is about and hope you like it. I haven't been to an author luncheon in years. They were always fun and I always read at least one book by the author.

It's 9:00pm, and I think I will get ready for bed.
-
I am sick of watching CASTLE reruns, and I will read a bit of the new Jane Austen bio. I found the OKLAHOMA! bootleg, and I will take it to Toyland tomorrow.
-
In other news:
I have to get the trash ready to take down to the road.
-
No recycling this week, not nearly enough ready.
-
Be still, your hearts! I know that was pretty exciting stuff. Try to stay calm.
-
According to my DVD records, I have the Demy film Peau d'Ane somewhere in a file of DVDs, but I have no idea where.
Hmmm . . .
-
According to Amazon.com, I ordered the Demy film The Pied Piper in 2008, but I do not find it on my DVD lists. Perhaps it never arrived?
-
Perhaps I just keep lousy records?
-
And that is the end of
-
the rant.
-
DVD records???
I only ask because I have VHS/LD/DVD/BLU records. It's not something I readily confess. But in this one area of my life, at least, I know what I have, or can easily find out.
-
Be still, your hearts! I know that was pretty exciting stuff. Try to stay calm.
It is about as exciting as my life ;)

My system of "records" is in the form of an Excel spreadsheet.

I had to get the HELL out of here - such a stupid day. Had a turkey sandwich and no fries and felt better - I can't wait that long in the day to eat, that was part of the problem. The other part is a priority package that should have been here yesterday and wasn't here today, coming from Mr. Sondheim in NY - it's just left Tennessee or somewhere like that - how stupid are these beyond stupid USPS people? And talking to them is beyond frustrating. I went right up as high on the food chain as I could go, and got someone who was at least willing to attempt to find out something - the others just drone on about how nothing is every their fault - I was very, how shall we say, passionate with the final high-up person, and told her this was a high-ticket auction item for a charity event and that if it was late in getting here they would lose thousands of dollars, and if that turns out to be the case I will so go public with this and told her that - I told her I was the one guy they do not want to mess with and that my being loud and public about this will no no bounds. I can only hope the stupid part of the day is done now.

In other news - this is what we're thinking about - Grant really loves it - he normally does the covers - the idea is his, but the execution is Doug Haverty.

I like the trombone. Can you legally use the Music Man written that way? I remember someone asked in regards to using it as part of the title, which I didn't think mattered. This seems different to me.
-
The Music Man font is a legal font that can be used by anyone anywhere anytime - you purchase it and use it as you please.
-
So you purchased it, interesting.
-
Great photos, DR Jane!
-
Thanks DR Kevin
-
Love the cover.
Maybe it's like the Disney font, whatever it may be called, that a friend of mine found can be used by anyone?
-
I've been out hiking and stuff today.
-
Great cover, BK - ye, gods!
-
Buckeyes advance!
-
Does the public font include the decoration on the font?
-
Great cover, BK - ye, gods!
:)
-
I'm just curious. I, of course, think the font is perfect for the cover as is.
-
'night

'night!
-
The trash has left the building.
-
I can sympathize with your frustration, BK. Everything I've touched today has turned into an irritation.
-
I had a miserable day at work however I managed to leave by 6 - came home showered and went to the Maundy Thursday service
-
We did something different tonight - dinner church-
-
Thankfully, the Maundy Thursday service was good and calming. Went out for pizza with friends afterwards.
-
We did something different tonight - dinner church-
I like the sounds of that.
-
But the irritation has started up again. I just put on the DVD of "Tell No One" and the subtitles refuse to work. My French is certainly not good enough for this movie without them.
-
This may be worse: The badly dubbed version does work, however.
-
We worshipped while sharing a dinner of vegetable soup and bread it was a very uplifting and calming evening
-
Afterwards I help the Sexton strip the church in preparation for tomorrow's evening Good Friday Tanenbrae service
-
The Vixter and I are serving tomorrow evening so I won't be around much tomorrow either
-
We worshipped while sharing a dinner of vegetable soup and bread it was a very uplifting and calming evening
I like that. I was thinking it would have been a modified seder service. We do that every other year. This is the off year.
-
I love love love (that is three loves) the cover!
-
and I wont be around much on Saturday or Sunday either
-
I love the cover, too.
-
Loved Jane's photos as well.
-
Saturday I needs must get the car inspected and serviced then some house cleaning and baking and then to church for the vigil
-
We don't have a service on Saturday. Which gives me time to clean this cesspool.
-
I think only 10 are coming to dinner Sunday.
-

Ah yes, nothing like a lentin waffer and a sip of Welch's finest to fill me up!

The Sunday is Easter Sunday so after church I'll be collecting my parents and heading over to my brother and SIL's for dinner
-
Saturday I needs must get the car inspected and serviced then some house cleaning and baking and then to church for the vigil
Which reminds me that I needs must make an appointment for my car's 140,000-mile checkup.
Let's all hope this one doesn't cost me $1,800 like the last one did. Okay?
-
I gotta tell you.

Where does your brother live?

Well I have been looking at the cover and the dripping blood is a little creepy to me - however creepy is probably exactly what you are looking for - and it is certainly eye catching

For Easter Sunday I mean

I just lost my story. The irritation continues.

I want to make a pie, but I'm not certain.

I also want to make Skips egg recipe which I was supposed to send to TCB

With all the mentioning of Maudy Thursday, you would think my brain would eventually register that today is not Friday.

Vixmom, were you watching "Parade's End"? What do you think? I've started listening to the book, which is actually four novels. 38 hours long over 30 discs. I'm on disc 5 right now. But I am enjoying the writing.
-
Watching Game of Thrones on HBO
For the longest time, I had seen the series mentioned in magazines and newspaper, but I had not really paid much attention. It wasn't until I heard it spoken at the Golden Globes, that I realized that it wasn't called GAME OF THORNS.
-
we did watch it - Vixdad seemed to enjoy it very much but I was annoyed by the lead and his commanding officer and stopped paying attention to it .
Maybe I will watch it again on On Demand - or maybe I should read the book - perhaps I will enjoy that better

we did watch it - Vixdad seemed to enjoy it very much but I was annoyed by the lead and his commanding officer and stopped paying attention to it .

It's the same guy who plays Sherlock. Benedict Cummerbund or Cumberthwait or Cucumberbatch or whatever it is.

Watching Game of Thrones on HBO
For the longest time, I had seen the series mentioned in magazines and newspaper, but I had not really paid much attention. It wasn't until I heard it spoken at the Golden Globes, that I realized that it wasn't called GAME OF THORNS.
I really enjoyed Season One - so much so that I bought all five of the published books for my Nook and ready them all non stop - the series does not faithfully follow the books so far but they hit the right spots and I find them very enjoyable

My nieces are all infatuated with him as Sherlock

Vixmom, I am glad you are a little more awake tonight. I felt so sorry for you last night. You must have been very rummy (without the rum).

See, I am so out of the loop, I didn't know that it was based on a series of books.

I didn't like the fact that my favorite character got killed off by the end of season one. Haven't looked for the show again.

Seven!

the church dinner was spiritually fulfilling -- but not quite enough to physically fill me -- I thinks I may need to go grazing in the kitchen

I was sitting on the recliner with my laptop on my lap and fell asleep - I am just glad I didn't drop my computer on the floor

That was a shocker - if you read the books he does that continuously - he gets you all invested in someone's story line and you think well this is the one that's going to end up on the iron throne and then BOOM that person is dead

My two favorites are still with us - Ned's youngest daughter and the "Imp"

Yes, the "Imp" is a hoot.

Well, we got our second wind - this is the way I like it - fun, interesting, wonderful posts to read - family. Let's not go the way of the dodo bird, baby.

Except on Thursdays when it doesn't add any calories.

I have now listened to all twenty-five candidates for the Hofstetter audio book, and have boiled it down to six finalists. They'll get pages from the new book to read - just short snippets mostly to hear what they do with some of the new characters - two of the six stood out to me and actually made me laugh a few times.
-
I've actually had a really nice day and week. Very busy and lots of stuff that stressed me out ahead of time, but it all went well.

Cool. I hope you find someone who fits or who you can direct to fit.

I'm going to see my family on Easter. If I wake up early enough I'll get there for church, if not, I'll meet them after church and go out for dinner.
-
I suppose I should have some of them frozen taco things because I've only eaten a sandwich that had at most six hundred calories and I jogged off at least two to three hundred on the three-mile jog, so I can really eat at least four hundred more calories. So, is it tacos of pizza bread?

Tomorrow is a relaxing day at the office. I totaly spaced out that it's Good Friday. We have an appointment in the morning and are just using it as a work day, so if we are caught up enough I may close the office at noon
-
I was sitting on Page 6 wondering why nobody was posting any more. I forgot to hit "Refresh."

Listening to music and relaxing - no more work tonight and have taken a hot shower and washed this stupid day right down the drain.

No, no! Calories are not countable until sunrise. So, eat quick.

I don't know what it is about the show, THE OFFICE. I know people love that show, but to me it always seems mean-spirited.

I agree I lost interest after the first couple of episodes

Thank you. I am glad someone agrees.

G'night!

I'm so glad this stupid day is over.

Listening to an upcoming Kritzerland release - this one was actually ready about four months ago, but some of the sound was very problematic and all of us love the score so hugely, that we went the extra mile, gathered up a few more sources and then handed all of it to a guy who does audio restoration and his work is AMAZING. The thing now sounds spectacularly good. And what a score it is. I can only say that Kritzerland is probably the label to do more Oriental soundtracks than anyone - many Geisha albums - it's amazing.
-
And let me just say this while I'm in this foul and fowl mood - if we're not off this damn page in one hour and well off of it, I'm shutting the topic down and maybe it's just time to shut the whole damn thing down save for my notes. This used to feel like a real family here, with tons of posts, fun, informative, and it's like this is now drudgery for people to come here and post. If Facebook is everyone's new home as it appears to be, so be it .
I left work early today because I had a headache that wouldn't quit (even after taking ibuprofen). I came home and took a nap for about an hour because I had to go to rehearsal. I'm running the sound for TAO's production of "Reservoir Dogs."
-
Tonight, Marko, the sound designer, had most of the sounds (but not all) and they rehearsed both versions of the show...we're doing an all-male cast and an all-female cast. The female cast definitely has a different vibe than the male cast. They're not as intense, but they're good.
-
Tomorrow night, I'm going to Capital Playhouse's production of Oliver and I know several people in the show. My ticket was originally for yesterday (Wednesday), but their music director has a commitment on Wednesdays, so they had to move all their Wednesday shows.
-
So, I'm going tomorrow.
-
Well, since we're so close...
-
I'm finally home. More work to do before bed... or I get up early and do it. We'll see how far I get before my eyes shutter.
