Well, you've read the notes, you LOVED the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - the cows LOVED the notes, you LOVE the cows, and the cows LOVE that you LOVE them.

And the word of the day is: KLOOF!
-
I'll order the CD in the morning. :)
-
And the new Kritzerland release will be live at six in the morning.
Kritzerland is proud to present a limited edition soundtrack CD:
THE MIRACLE WORKER
Music Composed by Laurence Rosenthal
In 1962, the Broadway hit The Miracle Worker came to the screen, written by the play’s author, William Gibson, directed by Arthur Penn, who helmed the play, and starring Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke recreating their stage roles. The film was a hit with critics and audiences. The Miracle Worker was and is a brilliant movie, with two of the greatest female performances ever captured on film. The Academy Awards thought so, too, rewarding Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke with Oscars for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress (at the time, Duke was the youngest actress to ever win the award). Penn and Gibson were also nominated (but didn’t take home the prize), as was Ruth Morley for her costumes (she didn’t win either). Not nominated at all was the film’s composer, Laurence Rosenthal. One can’t really argue with the five choices that were made for best original score that year – they included Maurice Jarre’s Lawrence of Arabia (the winner), Bronislau Kaper’s Mutiny on the Bounty, Franz Waxman’s Taras Bulba, Jerry Goldsmith’s Freud, and Elmer Bernstein’s To Kill a Mockingbird – great scores all. But they should have created a sixth slot for Rosenthal, because his music for The Miracle Worker is a true masterpiece of film scoring.
Rosenthal’s score for The Miracle Worker is, to put it plainly, a miracle. His grasp of what makes The Miracle Worker tick and his ability to capture that in musical terms is uncanny. Beginning with the haunting main title as we meet Helen Keller and enter her dark world, and continuing through a series of cues that capture every nuance of character and drama – never overstating, always illuminating, and ultimately as moving a score as has ever been written. There are no words that can capture what Rosenthal achieves in the film’s penultimate cue, “The Miracle/The Keys,” other than to say it is one of the greatest fusions of image and music and emotion ever created. It is the key reason that sequence is one of the most emotional ever put on film – there is never a dry eye as the music swells and Annie Sullivan shouts, “She knows, she knows.” It is one of the greatest moments in all of film.
The Miracle Worker has been released twice before on CD – once on a composer promo and once by Intrada. The latter edition sold out very quickly. It’s always a tough call when doing a rerelease of a limited edition title, but in the case of The Miracle Worker there was no question – the music deserves to be heard by the widest audience possible and because of its quick sellout it never really had a chance beyond the film music collector market. For this release, we have done what we hope you’ll agree are some improvements to the sound. The previous releases both had kind of a reverby faux stereo spread – we’ve gone back to the basics as there was nice room ambience in the original recordings and the score takes on a more immediate sound without the extra reverb. On the previous releases there was a tape crimp problem in the opening notes of the main title – we’ve happily fixed that, and we’ve fixed a few other dropouts and other anomalies. Also, we include two bonus tracks that were not on either of the previous CDs. Unfortunately, the sound is not optimal for the bonus material, but we felt that the music is so good in those two cues (one of which, as you’ll hear, was either rescored for the film or put together for the film as it differs from the originally recorded cue) that we hope you’ll forgive the not-so-hot sound on those two cues just to hear more of this incredible score.
For anyone who’s seen The Miracle Worker, the film is indelibly etched into memory – those performances, that direction, and that amazing score by the amazing Laurence Rosenthal.
THE MIRACLE WORKER is limited to 1000 copies only and is priced at $19.98, plus shipping.
CD will ship the last week of September, but preorders placed at Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks early (we’ve been averaging four weeks). To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

Topic of the Day:
I just happen to have "Broadway Bound" on a shelf right behind me and I'll suggest these:
Everybody Wants to Be Sondheim - sung by Guy Haines
Ninas [from Showing Off] - sung by Christopher Durang and Jonathan Freeman
Watching the Show [from The Times] - sung by Michael Rupert
-
I haven't listened to this in a while. I think I'll take it to work today. ;D
-
Well, I must go to bed. Last night, I didn't get to sleep until after 4:00 am. The neighbors were having a party and it just loud enough to be annoying, but not bad enough for me to get out of bed and knock on their door.
It's very quiet now, so I'm going to enjoy my sleep. Good night. 8)
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
There's a film crew outside my house, in the middle of the road, filming action of someone getting and and out of a vehicle. I hope they finish soon because it's a work day and I need to drive off soon.
-
Enjoyed today's song. I love the songs (by anyone) that take a musical theatre trope (like "I Love You") and twist it in some way.

Greetings from Dublin! Getting here was not always easy, but I've encountered several who have been angels to me and I thank them for it.
The worst ordeal was schlepping down in the apartment elevator two heavy bags while trying to walk with a cane. My driver loaded them in his trunk and got me safely to JFK. The line to check in wasn't long, and while I was standing at the front of the line, juggling two bags, one cane, and trying to find a comfortable standing position, this ass behind me said, she said Next and pointed to a clerk at the end of the counter. So I schlepped all my crap to the clerk, who happened to be helping an old lady who from her behavior hadn't traveled since she arrived on the Mayflower.
The clerk next to the desk I was awkwardly standing by called next, and before I could move, this fat ass and his three daughters raced to the window. I believe I called him a motherfucker, but maybe I was only thinking that. When the clerk finished with the jerk, she offered to help me, and took my bags. She noticed that I was in pain and she called for a wheelchair, and from that moment on, my arrival at JFK was a trip to paradise.
I had a beautiful lady driver who whirled me through security and to my gate in no time at all. Rob Berman arrived shortly after that, and we had dinner. Boarding was easy and the flight smooth except for the young couple with the screaming baby who didn't shut up for all six hours of the flight. I hope the kid is dead somewhere and his parents in hell for their insensitive attitude toward their fellow passengers.
And now I'm in Dublin! Thank you all for your support and good wishes.

According to the usage information on the Verizon website, the missing phone has not been used for making or receiving calls or texts since I lost it. If someone picked it up, they either dumped it just to be mean, or they're saving it for a special occasion. Well, if my precautions have been any good at all, that special occasion will never arrive.
If I had it to do over again (and I will, so this is what I will do for the replacement): I'd install tracking and security software that would let me locate it via GPS and even wipe it clean of personal information remotely. Why stuff like that isn't part of the original operating system in this day and age, I simply can't fathom, especially when you can get the apps to do all of that for anywhere from free up to a whopping five bucks or so. Isn't it just amazing that the provider doesn't see fit to provide that good security stuff? I'm under the impression that iPhones do incorporate that kind of thing, so it makes no sense that Google/Android shouldn't want to do the same on their otherwise lovely phones. And I really do like this phone. But wait -- I don't just like this phone -- I LOVE IT. :-*
But now it's about time to quit yapping about it and get out the paperwork and call the insurance company.

CD ordered -- and
Writer's Block ordered !! ;D
The notes made me do it. Damn them all to hell.

Announcement posted and thinking about going to bed.

I don't know what prompted The Love Tangent - I've posted about it before, but I think it was on my mind because I hear about people's dating ordeals all the time and yesterday was no exception.

Good morning, all.
Great news about the flight, Elmore. If you're into beer, have a Beamish for me.

TOD:
I love most every song on Brent Barrett's Alan Jay Lerner album, especially Heading for New Orleans and In the Broken Promise Land of 15
From Kander and Ebb: Seeing Things, Isn't This Better and A Quiet Thing
From Jason's various CDs: Marianne, Once Upon a Time, There's Always One You Can't Forget, You've Got That Thing, and I Promise You a Happy Ending.

Monday morning greetings! After 2 days of being out the door and on the road by 7am, it's nice to ease into the day.

Glad to hear DR Elmore made it to Dublin in one piece.

TOD:
Can you do any of the songs you wrote for OUTSIDE THE BOX, or do those not count? So much great stuff to choose from there.
And could you do "Hello Dolly" for your Grammy nominated album, and say hello to people you recognize the way Carol Channing did - or does that not qualify?
A plug for "Things Change" which you did so beautifully in the NYMF presentation in 2006, from Last Starfighter.

I have only once had to get out of bed and go kniock on the door because of noise. Of course, the fact that I sleep in the nude might have had something to do with it.

Good suggestions, but we've done many of the songs listed. I have to match song to singer. Something from Jeepers Creepers never occurred to me actually - not sure where any of that music is, unfortunately, or if any of that medley is actually available.
-
Spent forty-five minutes this morning watching Sandy run the act for tomorrow - lots of notes, but I had to toddle off for the breakfast thing so we'll run the last twenty minutes this afternoon, then I'll give notes and some lighting suggestions.

Then I had some eggs benedict and a fun breakfast with helper and her mom.

Greetings BK and DR's,
My weekend was hijacked with long rehearsals and two performances for the very theater where I am doing the new play. Oy. Endless weekend. Day off today. Ahhh, all better. :D
The Miracle Worker. Such an amazing film that made a lifelong impression on me at first viewing. So powerful.
Oh, Love. I remember that. I think. Oddly enough, BK, as you were sorting through your Love list, the song that came to mind was "Love for Sale". Hmmmmm.
And the recording that came to mind was the oddly wonderful version done by The Manhattan Transfer on their second album. Half of it is a country laced instrumental, then turns into almost an Andrews Sisters vocal. Why ever did I remember that one? Hmmmm.
Oh, and here is it:

Enjoyed today's song. I love the songs (by anyone) that take a musical theatre trope (like "I Love You") and twist it in some way.
I had this idea for a CD compilation of love songs that never use the word love, or specifically say "I love you." For instance, "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face" or "How Deep Is the Ocean." Songs like that. Or even "A Quiet Thing"...even though that's not a love song at all, it could easily be used as a love song.

I saw the Manhattan Transfer at the Roxy in the mid-1970s, when I was on the guest list for all those shows. Their opening act was some young upstart comic - what was his name? Oh, Billy Crystal.

From DR Chas:
DR Jane: When and where was the Heifetz concert?
Inquiring minds must know! If the one I'm thinking of was, in fact, his last public appearance, then guess who else was in that audience!
It was at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on October 23, 1972 Door 15 Row P seat 39. I was going to take a photo of my ticket stub but my camera isn't working correctly. I'm sure Keith just needs to reset something.
If anyone special was in the audience I either don't remember or we didn't see them. I recall going to a concert conducted by Zubin Mehta and my father pointed mentioned it was Meta's family in the row in front of us, including his wife and mother.

You win, George!!
I also got to meet them the night I saw their Twilight Tone tour, just after Cheryl bentyne joined them.
A little while later, I went to a club in Chicago with the club manager's daughter, and saw Laurel Masse singing solo, after she'd left the group. She sat with us after her show and talked about the accident that forced her to leave the group, with her jaw wired for a year. She was very sweet and still singing beautifully.

I hear he did a little television and appeared in a few movies.
-
Face Time again - she finished the act, inadvertently switching two songs - that was a happy accident and the show plays better for it. I then gave a ton of very detailed notes and hopefully she can work on them and let them sink in to her bones. The structure and patter work really well, as long as she's not putting quote marks around the patter and just being her charming normal self.

I then picked up some mail and one package.

Love the photo, ArnoldMBrockman. What a cutie!

Harrumph! I can't even imagine how you would have missed seeing me.
It appears I didn't keep that program. But I remember having heard or seen something about it at the last minute, and went down and got a ticket. Orchestra section, somewhere right of center, maybe halfway back. That would have been just about my first time in the Dorothy Chandler, as I'd only been living there for four months. Anyhoo, I'd listened to many Heifetz recordings through my college years and when I saw he was performing, I really didn't think much of it except that I must try to go hear him. Natural thing to do, right?
Several years later I attended a cello recital at the Wilshire Ebell for which Brooks Smith was the accompanist, and since I knew the cellist I went back afterward to say hi, and I told Brooks Smith that I'd always appreciated his work with Heifetz, among others. I said I was very happy to have been at that 1972 concert, and he said I was lucky because that was it. I think he even said that the concert itself was something of a sudden decision on Heifetz's part, not planned real far in advance.
I sure wish I'd preserved that program. But I was there, damn it! :)
-
DR Chas I'm sorry about your phone. I suppose you tried calling it.
We did that, but one thing I absolutely remembered doing was setting it to vibrate because I was about to spend the day in the movie theater.

Anyhoo, I'd listened to many Heifetz recordings through my college years and when I saw he was performing, I really didn't think much of it except that I must try to go hear him. Natural thing to do, right?
Several years later I attended a cello recital at the Wilshire Ebell for which Brooks Smith was the accompanist, and since I knew the cellist I went back afterward to say hi, and I told Brooks Smith that I'd always appreciated his work with Heifetz, among others. I said I was very happy to have been at that 1972 concert, and he said I was lucky because that was it. I think he even said that the concert itself was something of a sudden decision on Heifetz's part, not planned real far in advance.
I sure wish I'd preserved that program. But I was there, damn it! :)
It wasn't until years later my father told me that had been the last one. I'm so glad I kept my ticket stub to show the date. Loving Heifetz as I do it was just an incredible experience to have with my father.

The photo of my ticket stub won't come out clear. Instead I will put up a photo of the beautiful sunset we had on July 3rd. We don't get many like this here.

DR Chas I'm sorry about your phone. I suppose you tried calling it.
We did that, but one thing I absolutely remembered doing was setting it to vibrate because I was about to spend the day in the movie theater.
Too bad though sometimes phones make a noise when they vibrate.

I saw this LP set many years later in some store (I think Academy Records in NYC) and somehow walked out without buying it. The CD is kind of pricey now, though I see Archiv will sell a CD-R for $21.99.

I had no idea. Wow.
I also think it is super cool that you were also there.

I copied the album pics to save.

Gratuitous Post #100!

I'm trying to stay awake...for some reason, I can't keep my eyes open. Not a good thing to happen at work. ::)
;)
-
Well, I must be off. I'm going to rehearsal, but I need to do some shopping first. Tomorrow at work, we're having our annual Summer Barbecue and I signed up to bring condiments. There is some mayonnaise in the staff room fridge, so I don't have to get that, but there are no other condiments...and I was the only one to sign up for them, so I have to get enough.
-
Any excuse to leave early. ;)
Be back later!
-
I shall shortly be on my way to do the final mixing on Sandy's CD - we're going to try a marathon and to finish tonight. Otherwise we have to reconvene on Thursday night.
-
In the meantime, get me off this damn page.
-
Looking forward to seeing Sandy tomorrow night! Thanks, BK and Sandy!

Watching a funny episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show on ME TV.
-
Goodnight!
-
I have spent much less time on the computer today and I am very proud of myself. With luck I will do even better tomorrow.
-
I am being fairly productive but not doing anything exciting to report.

I wish though that while Keith was working in the pond I had gone down to check on him instead of watching through the window. He said the fish were all over him. You should have seen his big smile while he was telling me about them. I think this is the first time he has enjoyed pulling pond weeds.

back from a dinner of sushi rolls (actually not my favorite because of the rice), but one was beautiful, a deep-fried volcano roll:

Then rushed off to dance class where I was the only male and therefore my every last step was overanalyzed and shown to be wrong, which made me hyper, but it was also needed and I actually think I learned a few things. Not as many I need to learn, but a few. .
-
Now watching "Children of the Corn II." Why, I don't have a clue.
-
But it's a post.

Gratuitous post No. 116.

FJL, TCB: What are you up to?

Welcome, 1 guest.

Welcome, second guest.

Five!

I blame DR Kate and her unscrupulous brother, Kevin for the fact that AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR has become Must See TV!

DR TCB - Patty Duke may have sung "You Don't Own Me", but this might be the record you had.

Do I have to watch this entire BIOGRAPHY episode to find out what song you are talking about?

Finally, on the third try, it took me to the correct video. You are correct, Jrand; but boy are those songs similar.

Computer problems tonight. My story disappeared three times and an early version kept appearing. The final version was in the system, just not on the screen. Don't know how or why that happens, but it's driving me crazy.
-
Good night, all.

I am also partial to
River Of Fire (Das Barbecu)
John and Fred (Gay90's)
The Baby Song (I Love You You're Perfect Now Change)
Bacharah At The Movies (Medley)

I think we're all chosen, song-wise. I ended up with the two slots being filled by the show version of She Touched Me from Drat! The Cat! and Kander and Ebb's Second Chance.
-
We did a long session and finished the mixes. I'll now get them over the next couple of days so I can live with them for a bit and make any further adjustments before Lanny comes in to listen and make whatever small suggestions he may have, which happens this coming Sunday. But boy does this stuff sound great. I am VERY pleased with the mixes, Sandy's vocals, and the band.
-
At tonight's rehearsal, we read through the first half of the first act quickly and on book. Tim, our director, wanted us to be used to everything before we went through it off book. That helped. The section that we rehearsed tonight took about 20 minutes, so we actually were able to rehearse it three times (four, if you count the quick-read, which we do).
-
I won't have to be at rehearsal tomorrow because I have a Theater Artists Board meeting. The playwright and two other cast members are on the TAO board, so we needed (and were able to get) the night off. :)
-
We only have nine people on the TAO board, so we need at least five people to make a quorum.
