Good morning, all!

Welcome home, DR TCB!

I plan on having a day to myself. At 10, I will see my barber Joe, and then I shall come home, stop at the market, tidy a bit and do little else.  My new spring mouse traps arrived yesterday, along with my Riddex pest control, Around 7pm, I set three traps and by 8pm I had killed a mouse. I'll see if any other mice turn up in the next couple of days before I plug in the Riddex.

More coffee!

Good morning, all.

I'm sorry the ending of your trip was not so good, TCB. But I'm glad you are safely home with Nicky.

It's beginning to sprinkle a little here. There had been a forecast of thunderstorms. I hope it holds off on those until tonight, but we'll take the rain.

My friend is on the Rush line for Kinky Boots. I'll know after 10am if/when he gets the tickets. He's not first in line but there are only 6 people ahead of him so that's 12 (if they all take 2 tickets) ahead of him. They don't say how many rush tickets are sold but I'm sure it's more than 15.

Welcome home, DR TCB. 

Moving is going to happen soon.  I get the keys next Saturday and I'll be moving little by little the next week and then the big stuff on the next Saturday.  I did end up taking the until with W/D - downside is it's small (600sq ft) and it's a little more expensive than I'd like at the moment.  But, the upside is that I'm 10 minutes from the church I work at, 1/2 mile from my family, and there's a dog park across the street for DD Ben.  It will all work out, I'm sure.  I hate packing, and that's what's next on the agenda.  I feel like I've packed my life up 2 times in the past 2 years.

Oh, wait.  I HAVE

Note to whispering actors: It makes your performance anything but real, because in real life if you whisper like that when you’re talking to someone all you’ll get in return is, “Speak up, idiot, I can’t hear a word you’re saying.”

I think it is about time that news sites stop allowing people to post comments on stories anonymously. They should be required to use their real identities. Some of the comments I read after a news story are so completely sickening.

For instance, was just reading a story about a Holocaust survivor who is telling her story to High School students. In the comments after the story one person wrote that since the holocaust happened over 60 years ago, people need to "get over it," and stop rehashing it. Another comment compared Jews to Satan. I had to stop reading.

I see this constantly, and it is just frightening the horrible things that people post on news sites.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on May 09, 2013, 02:58:33 PM
On a happy note, for film music fans, today is a "milestone".  From FOHHH (Friend of HainesHisWay) Nick Redman:

I'm very proud to be able to share a personal milestone. Today marks the 20th anniversary of my being hired by Fox Music as a consultant charged with the responsibility of creating a viable "classic film music" restoration program. Fox (in common with most other studios) had a vast treasure trove of material stored on 35mm film in vaults that had essentially lain dormant for 50 years. At the time, in 1993, Fox had created a new record imprint (Fox Records) in association with Arista Records that would primarily feature new artists, but if some classic catalogue from the vaults could be resuscitated, those titles would be added to the pot for good measure.

When Elliot Lurie, then head of Fox Music, welcomed me aboard I had to tell him "I can't start this week, I'm having a baby!" He laughed and said "Ok, start when you can then..." (My daughter Rebecca was born on the 16th Feb).

I was very grateful to Elliot for the opportunity, and to agent Richard Kraft for recommending me to Fox, but I had no idea how to do the job, or even where to start. (A memorable quote from Elliot resonated: "Nobody here knows how to do what we're asking you to do, so don't come to us with any questions!")

I hoped he was joking.

Somehow though, in that first year, Arista was able to release CDs of "Stormy Weather (1943)," "The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)," "How Green Was My Valley (1941)," "The Robe (1953)," "Laura (1944)," and of more pleasure to the accountants, a 4-CD "Star Wars Anthology" set -- the sales of which paid for all the other sins.

But here we are, 20 years later, and the program is still thriving. Less of a well-oiled machine, more of a garage under the arches working on Lamborghinis. When we started we had no concept of this being a long-term program, but as things are wont to do in life, they evolve in surprising ways -- record labels come and go, personnel arrive and depart, it's a sea of constant change, but somehow there was always an executive or two in various departments, post-production, home video, etc. who would choose to find ways to support and help fund the tiny operation. In the early days we leaned on home video a lot, supplying audio cassettes to be packaged with video tapes, 24-carat "special edition" gold CDs to be packaged with Laserdiscs, isolated score tracks to synergize Fox Music's restorations with the movies themselves.

Over the years specialty labels dedicated to soundtracks have kept the program alive by releasing a constant product stream: to date as many as 600 albums of vintage Fox film scores have been issued to aficionados, with dozens more in preparation. In addition to those scores released on CD, at least 200 more have been restored, inventoried and vaulted for safekeeping under the supervision of Ron Fuglsby and Library Services...at the current rate of progress it'll take a while yet to complete the job but we're getting there....and without the help and support of the following individuals during the past two decades, nothing would have been accomplished....

First and foremost, always -- Tom Cavanaugh, Fox Music's head of business affairs...quite simply without Tom's constant help, support, encouragement, and boundless enthusiasm and generosity, both in business and as a dear friend--there is no-one like him--this program would not have survived in any way, shape or form. (To the next 20, mate?)

And also:

Dave Goldstein, Lewis Lagrone, Skip Lusk, Pam Kersey, Matt Walden, Mary Jo Menella, Cathy Merenda, Carol Farhat, Larry Zwisohn, Geoff Bywater, JoAnn Orgel, Cindy Cooper, Barbara Lehn, Robert Kraft, Armin Steiner, Dan Hersch, Warren Salyer, Ted Spellman, Greg Curtis, Craig Renwick, Ellen Ginsburg, Denise McCarthy, Hunter Woo, Pat Carreras, Mitzi Brewer,Ted Gagliano and especially Schawn Belston (for taking Ron under your wing when there was nowhere else for him to go!)

 Mike Matessino, who first worked with me on the restoration of "The Sound of Music" in 1994, and has been a valued colleague and friend through hundreds of subsequent projects (we'll keep 'em coming!)

And without whom the public would never have heard the work:

Fox Records, Arista Records, RCA/Victor, Sony Music, Phillips, Polygram, Fox Home Entertainment, Varese Sarabande Records, Intrada Records, La-La Land Records, Film Score Monthly, Screen Archives Entertainment, BYU, The Film Music Society, Percepto Records, Rhino Records, and Kritzerland.

And thanks to Dave Shaw and Christine Lewison at Fox Home Ent, the Twilight Time Blu-ray label dedicated to releasing Fox classic movies, continues the synergy of movie and music by including isolated score tracks on every disc. The tradition, established so long ago, continues...

It's hard to believe it's been two decades -- next Saturday my daughter Rebecca (in her 2nd year of college) will turn 20. David Raksin's beautiful score for "Laura" 1944, as previously stated, one of our first releases in 1993, has just come out on Blu-ray, and to tie-in, we have reissued this beautiful music, complete for the first time, on Kritzerland (thanks, BK!)

The world is a circle, as Burt Bacharach (and Hal David), once said.

Happy to see that one of my favorite film noirs is coming to DVD and Blu-ray next month. CRASHOUT was one of the first movies I bought on VHS (right after I bought BRIDE OF THE GORILLA) way back when...such a good film.

Callie had a bad day today.  The vet said I needed to get her to eat and when she's eating to slowly go back to her old meds..  Well she ate. She doesn't like the new medicine he gave me to give her.  Its a thick paste and she gags on it.  Anyway, I made the mistake of thinking she was ok to have one dose of her old medicine and she now has the runs worse than she did before.  I called the vet.  Now he understands I can give liquid or pills but not this paste, so tomorrow he'll give me new meds.  And he says pull all the food.

Amazingly, neither of the other two cats have cried about the food yet and it's easier to just pull it all.    Ricky is laying next to her upstairs. She's in ok spirits, but I feel so bad for her.

I'm really not sure if I'm going to like this vet or not, but I feel like that about every vet.   I also think I'm a bit afraid to just trust someone else with Callie's care.  I've been her care taker for so long.  Anyway, he's not hiding the fact that we don't know the cause yet.

I think it is about time that news sites stop allowing people to post comments on stories anonymously. They should be required to use their real identities. Some of the comments I read after a news story are so completely sickening.

For instance, was just reading a story about a Holocaust survivor who is telling her story to High School students. In the comments after the story one person wrote that since the holocaust happened over 60 years ago, people need to "get over it," and stop rehashing it. Another comment compared Jews to Satan. I had to stop reading.

I see this constantly, and it is just frightening the horrible things that people post on news sites.


I read those same comments, Mike.  I can't believe that there are people like that in this world.

I've just about stopped reading ANY comments on ANY news site.  Other kinds of sites, too, but especially things like newspapers.  Like a lot of people, I originally thought what a great idea, everyone can chime in, there can be some real "discussion", etc. etc. etc.  Well, I don't think that any longer.  The comments sections on sites that have little or no moderation are a cesspool, and I decided it's probably best for my blood pressure and certainly my peace of mind to forget those sections even exist.

I've been biding my time as to when would be best to write what I wanted to write, and this was the time.  I just read through it and made several changes - trying to have it be accurate but without editorializing, although it is impossible not to mildly editorialize.  But I took out several things that seemed too much and it reads better without them.
