Good morning, all!

Yesterday, the Hibernian Club changed its Wi-Fy and telephone server, so we had no internet. The new system is now up and running. Yesterday, we ran through the entire show from beginning to end, which continued after break, followed that with a work session for the trio of couturier ladies and Annalene's "Lovely To Look At."

It was a really good rehearsal, and I think we're in pretty good shape. This morning, Rob and I rehearse the stage band, and this afternoon is our first orchestra rehearsal. I'm looking forward to hearing these orchestrations. They've never been recorded before.

Last night, Judy Sherman and I had a wonderful dinner with Philip O'Reilly, who sings on EILEEN and DEAREST ENEMY, and his partner Sally. I really love Philip and I'm sorry that he's not on this recording; he's a wonderful singer and actor, and so good at his craft.

Dinner was at Harry's, and it was excellent. Sally had salmon, Philip had some other fish, Judy had the fish pie, and I had fish and chips, followed by an excellent parsnips cake and ice cream.

And now I must prepare for today's rehearsals.

I am doing something i haven't done in about 17 years. I am auditioning for two plays tomorrow. One is a male version of Vanities. The playwright rewrote his original play about cheerleaders as football players.

The other one is Love! Valour! Compassion! which I've seen the as a movie. the play is quite different and there is nudity which I've never done before, but after all these years I've thought what the hell why not give it a try.

Great notes this morning.  I just want to say I loved SECONDS from the very first.  I see it was released in late 1966, so, my senior year in high school.  I think I know which theater it played in, but can't be positive.  But then it disappeared, and maybe there was a showing I caught at some time during the intervening years, but I may actually not have seen it again until TCM.  I captured that on DVD-R, which was very important to me as the DVD had gone out of print fairly early and I never saw a reseller price I wanted to pay.  The Criterion shall be mine.  MINE.  Without even waiting for the next B&N sale.  Yes, that's how much MINE it shall be.

Re: SECONDS


I also think it is an excellent film, and that Rock Hudson is excellent in it. 

I saw it when it was first released, and although I know it bombed at the box office, my memory is that the reviews were positive.  Otherwise, I would not have seen it because I was never really a Rock Hudson fan.

However, as good as it is, SECONDS is not a film that I "like".  I find it to be too depressing.

Tomorrow is the annual Independence Day picnic for the India-US Friendship organization, Salem chapter. I am in charge of prizes for the kids games, which I have already picked up at Dollar Tree. Now I just need to figure out what to bring, food wise.

Grand-nephew Cole and grand-niece Harper will be attending with me. It should be lots of fun...well, it will definitely will be interesting to see how I do dealing with a 1 year old in tow! Normally I wait until age 3 before taking the little ones out and about on my own..but there will be lots of moms there to help me if I find myself lost on what to do.

No kidding.  This is exceptional.

Not exactly what one thinks of when one thinks of August, but we had that in July, and we haven't had a real Dog Days August in a few years.  2010 was hot all summer, so that was the last really hot August, I think.

Pwoject Wunway Afterthoughts:

Another (the 3rd) "unconventional materials" challenge of the season.  Oy!

Team challenge (teams of 3).

One team completely mismatched and an instant losing team.

Tim Gunn was not much of a mentor to them.  Normally, he would say "Well, MAKE IT WORK!"  Not last night.  Nossir.  Last night he said it was a guaranteed bottom finisher.  He expressed exasperation.  He offered nothing but contempt.

When he led the models of the top and bottom finishers down to the judges for a closer look, he confided that the losing team caused him to "lose it" in the workroom.

That, to me, was a very mealy-mouthed and self-serving comment to make given that he offered nothing in the way of "mentorship" to any of the three struggling designers.

I am very disappointed in this season...and in most of the judging, thus far.

I am back in my room. Rob and I went to Harry's because I had raved about last night's dinner, and I'm happy to report that it was quite deelish; for starters, he had carrot-parsnip soup, and I had a parmesan and rocket salad. We both had the baked salmon and the parsnip cake with ice cream.

The schedule on this recording is constantly changing behind my back, so this morning we did not rehearse the stage band - we don't do that until Wednesday, when we record them with Kim and Jason! - so we had the full orchestra for both sessions. We got through all of Act One and the first three  numbers of Act Two.  Tomorrow morning, we'll finish Act Two and add the singers to the band for the second session.

It was nice to see players from previous sessions, and I was flattered to learn that the players all want to be working with me. The scores sound amazing, and I believe this recording will be as much a homage to Russell Bennett as to Kern.

DR vixmom, you asked about my leg. I think it's improved as much as it can for a while; I move awkwardly, I  have horrible pains when I stand too long, the pain meds don't seem to do much but dry out my mouth, and I am counting the days to returning to NYC. I will be sorry to see this project end, but I'll be glad to be out of the airport-transportation mess.

I placed an order at the library for Seconds just this past week. I wasn't familiar with it, but the names Frankenheimer, Hudson, Randoph, Geer, et al. made me really curious. Now, I just wish they'd get it to me.

Our library just released it today, and I could've gotten a copy if I'd looked before they got put into the courier bins.  I placed a hold online, so it'll go out to a branch then come right back to me.  Right now, there is only one hold for four copies so I'll get it pretty quickly.

Listening to an upcoming master - sounds great and a major score from a decade without many major scores and an unusual decade for Kritzerland - but it's a composer I really like and so it was a no-brainer.  The original CD release at the time of the film was about thirty-nine minutes, of which ten minutes or a bit more wasn't by the composer of the score.  Our release is a whopping seventy-eight minutes, of which ten minutes isn't by the composer.

I'd say that "Preminger at Fox" and "Laura" makes the 1940's a major decade filled with Major scores.  Also, there weren't any CD releases at the time of release of films of the 1940s, or 50s, or 60s or 70s....

I'm thinking 1990s....maybe even the 2000s...

I've been writing liner notes and listening to the raw tapes for that score.  This will be a major release for us - I'm trying to fast track it so it's next but that's dependent on how fast I get the road map done.  There have been three previous CD releases for this score - it's by a beloved composer.  Each release has included more music, but shockingly none were complete (there was about three minutes of short but great cues left off the longest of the releases).  I pulled the three-track mix tapes and had them transferred and it looks like we have everything including the missing cues.  Plus, we can have some interesting bonus tracks, too.  This will be one of the few releases where we go to 1500 and I think it will still be an instant sell out even at that number - in fact, I could probably go to 2000 but then five hundred would sit there for six months while people thought they had all the time in the world to get it.  So, 1500 it will be.  The original CDs had a few tracks combined into longer tracks - I do that all the time, but what I don't do is crossfade the incoming new track under the outgoing old track because you end up losing the last few notes of the outgoing track and I HATE that.  So, we're either not combining those really long tracks or we will keep them long but not have the cross fade.

I can't imagine anyone wanting crossfades on a CD.  Are the individual tracks complete?  Would they sound good on their own?  I would hope so.  I (usually) don't even like repeat-and-fades in songs.  I want them to end.

I am doing something i haven't done in about 17 years. I am auditioning for two plays tomorrow. One is a male version of Vanities. The playwright rewrote his original play about cheerleaders as football players.

The other one is Love! Valour! Compassion! which I've seen the as a movie. the play is quite different and there is nudity which I've never done before, but after all these years I've thought what the hell why not give it a try.

What a surprise from DR Singdaw! Given the difficulties involved in major relocations, having a lot of time is a big help. Strongest vibes that it goes as smoothly as possible.

DR John G and I often watch the same shows. I, too, watched THE KILLING season 2 this week. I liked season 2 better than season 1, but I think it just took me a while to get into the story.

Well, the amount of whooping and hollering tonight could only have been exceeded if they'd been doing an even more "now" musical than LES MIZ.

Granted, this was community theater, and the first production in these parts other than the school edition.  It's a crazy sell-out and a rousing success.  And boy, did the audience play the HELL out of its expected part.  Oy!

It was nice to see players from previous sessions, and I was flattered to learn that the players all want to be working with me. The scores sound amazing, and I believe this recording will be as much a homage to Russell Bennett as to Kern.

DR vixmom, you asked about my leg. I think it's improved as much as it can for a while; I move awkwardly, I  have horrible pains when I stand too long, the pain meds don't seem to do much but dry out my mouth, and I am counting the days to returning to NYC. I will be sorry to see this project end, but I'll be glad to be out of the airport-transportation mess.


Elmore, you need to make sure and call your airline, at least, 24 hours ahead of your flight and tell them that you will need a wheelchair.  The only way I made it thru on my trip was the kind assistance I received by the airlines.
