And here's the complete info about Sandy's CD:


Kritzerland is proud to present its latest release:

SANDY BAINUM – SIMPLY

Simply is the follow-up CD to Sandy Bainum’s acclaimed 2012 CD, This Christmas. 

Simply is an album of some truly memorable tunes from the Great American Songbook and beyond.  From the joyous “A Cockeyed Optimist” from South Pacific and the glorious “Goodnight, My Someone” from The Music Man, to the pop hit “You and Me Against the World” and the electric “On the Other Side of the Tracks,” the songs of Simply are filled with timeless, straightforward sentiments and beautiful melodies.  Sandy wanted to make an album that reflected simple but universal emotions, whether joyous, rueful, funny, or hopeful, and this new CD captures perfectly who Sandy is as a performer.  Some of the songs are classics, some are not as well known, but all are melodic and entrancing.
The album was recorded in Los Angeles with a phenomenal 34-piece orchestra.  It was arranged and conducted by award-winning musical director Lanny Meyers and produced by Grammy-nominated producer Bruce Kimmel.

You won’t want to miss Sandy Bainum – Simply.  Her vocals are filled with warmth, heart, humor and joy, and the result is a Simply enchanting CD.

CD is $17.98 (plus shipping).  CDs are in stock and ready to ship.  We also offer a special combo price with Sandy’s Christmas CD, This Christmas, so check out that special offer.  To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

Good morning, all! Last night, I slept well. I am both surprised and delighted. I can only thank Gurjeet and his physical therapy staff.

So, first thing today is my appointment at 11:00 with my doctor. I'll leave here a little after 10:00 and take the bus. I am taking time since I cannot judge at the moment my walking abilities or the bus schedule. After that, I am home and I don't know when I'll be going out again, and that depends on my health and my getting the therapy extension.

My copy of I MARRIED A WITCH arrived last week, and I'll try to watch it over the weekend.

Post by: Druxy on October 10, 2013, 06:23:15 AM
BK,

I watched I MARRIED A WITCH the other night and, although I thought it was okay and a pleasant way to spend 77 minutes, I thought that the film could have been much funnier and better with different leads.

Yes, Fredric March was one of our finest actors and I love much of his work, but comedy was not his forte'.  He did not have the comic touch or timing of a Cary Grant or a Fred MacMurray, which is what the role required.  And, though she was always a charming screen presence, neither did Veronica Lake.  Imagine Jean Arthur, Ginger Rogers or (were she still alive then) Carole Lombard in that part.

Don't misunderstand.  I like both of these performers, but they were miscast here and, as far as I'm concerned, lacked "chemistry".  Indeed, I understand that they did not get along during filming.

On the other hand, Robert Benchley and Cecil Kellaway were delightful.  And, for the time, the special effects were excellent.

"I Married A Witch" has been one of my favorite 1940s enchantments since I first saw it 30-plus years ago.  It was in yesterday's mail alongside "The Other", which I watched last night.

I loved "The Other" and even watched it through again with the isolated tracks.   It's sole CD incarnation was a bit disappointing inasmuchas it was incomplete.  I understood from somewhere -- notes on the jacket or a comment on the internet -- that what we got was all there was.   Happily, this has been rectified on the BD, and regardless of the source material, it sounds splendiferous.  It leads me to hope that someone, someday will issue it as a complete, stand-alone CD experience as it's one of my favorite Jerry Goldsmith scores and has been since I first saw the film in a theater.

We had a special guest yesterday at the Old Actor's Lunch.  One of the member's mother-in-law was in town visiting from California.  He was going to skip the lunch, but I begged him to come and to bring here along, so that I could meet her. Back in the late 50s and early 60s this lady (writing under a pseudonym) wrote a series of six lesbian pulp fiction novels that were earth shattering to an entire generation of women.  Over the years, these books have been reissued, and today she is considered one of the pioneering authors of the LGBT revolution.

It was really an honor to meet her.

As you state in your new book, which I enjoyed (and thanks for the nice comments about ME), your idea of comedy and my idea of comedy is completely different.  And so it is with I Married a Witch - I cannot imagine two more perfect leads that Mr. March and Miss Lake and I found the entire film funny - not always laugh out loud funny, which I don't think was the intention - but funny - and occasionally it IS laugh out loud funny.  Miss Lake especially is such a unique screen presence and her look is so sexy and adorable, well, that's what makes horse racing.  And Mr. March could do anything.

Sadly, for reasons none of us can quite figure out, the studio who licensed The Other to Varese (along with all the titles we did in the two years I supervised those releases) licensed that stuff in perpetuity, which means no one but them is going to put out The Other complete.  You would think that would have put that high on the radar, being a Goldsmith title, but alas, not.

Good (late) morning, all!

Thanks for everyone's help yesterday (especially DR Jrand63) on my snagging the SUNDAY IN THE PARK video.  I realized that the one I did manage to get yesterday was the same as the one on FB, because there was no HD back then (even though the video itself said HD).  Nice to have it finally. And I also snagged two YouTube videos of mine in case they get deleted, as the OLD RED HILLS OF HOME video is on my website and I'd hate to lose that one.

I discovered something this morning that made me a bit sad, as now I realize I will miss November's Krtizerland show. It turns out that the L.A. Ovation Awards are the very same Sunday night (oddly, they are more often presented on a Monday). And I am working the Ovations as I do every year, as the live voice over announcer, or as they call me, the voice of God. Nice that this year I am also among the nominated as part of the Best Ensemble for our recent production of PARADE.

I doubt it will hurt the Krizterland audience, as mostly nominees and friends come to the Ovations. But still, it's one more Kritz show I have to miss. Booooo. :(

There was an afternoon sydicated version of TO TELL THE TRUTH on during the 70's and 80's.  When her autobiography came out (VERONICA) - Lake was on the show and was so unrecognizable that I think most of the panelists guessed one of the imposters to be her.....   It was sad....

We had a special guest yesterday at the Old Actor's Lunch.  One of the member's mother-in-law was in town visiting from California.  He was going to skip the lunch, but I begged him to come and to bring here along, so that I could meet her. Back in the late 50s and early 60s this lady (writing under a pseudonym) wrote a series of six lesbian pulp fiction novels that were earth shattering to an entire generation of women.  Over the years, these books have been reissued, and today she is considered one of the pioneering authors of the LGBT revolution.

It was really an honor to meet her.


Wow, that is most interesting...what was her pseudonym? She would certainly make an interesting subject for an interview...or maybe she has done one recently, if so I would very much like to read it.

I am home from seeing my doctor:  I've lost 16 lbs, which is good news, and I have the PT referral in hand, which is even better.  Now I am craving a pumpkin muffin, bread or donut.

Congrats and congrats, Larry!  And enjoy the pumpkin muffin, bread or donut!!  You deserve it/them! :D

She wrote under the name Ann Bannon.  Google that name and you can read all about her.

Yes, we all found it odd and off-putting that for the first time in Ovation Awards history they moved the date up by a week and to a Sunday night.  Thankfully, this is the one show this year where that kind of stupidity won't bother me because we'll sell out anyway.  The Ovation Awards are happening out of LA, about an hour away.

The right side of my neck near the top of my shoulder has been bothering me for a few days. It feels slightly inflamed. I've been icing it. And have sort of found a good position to sleep.  It actually doesn't hurt when i bike. But it doesn't feel too great when i'm sitting at the computer.

Not really sure what to do. Maybe i'll try the heating pad. And i'll try not to lift anything much.

I went with Keith to Best Buy to pick up his new smart phone and looked at the Samsung tablets again.  I like both the Galaxy Note 8" and the Galaxy Tab 8".  The Tab is more than enough for my needs and less expensive and they had the color I wanted.  I almost got it except for one big problem, at least big for me.  I don't like the cover for it.  My Nook has a comfortable padded cover.  I'm looking on-line for something but so far haven't found any I like.  You would think Samsung would have more styles than one cover in different colors.

Congratulations, bk!  I love just about everything written by Newley and/or Bricusse!  ("Paris Makes Me Horny," from Victor/Victoria being one of the few rare exceptions.)

DR Jane - you would be surprised at how many companies make cell phone and tablet accessories. I am sure you can find a cover that is to your satisfaction.


Speaking of Samsung, I just replaced my creaky smartphone today with the Galaxy Note 3. Loving it so far!

I hope so, not that it is urgent.  I noticed Kindle had one made of the same stuff as my Nook only it wasn't as nice.  Mine has a nice little pocket inside.

I was about to say the same thing. Look to Samsung for the electronics. Look to others for the cover.

I just got a flyer from Trader Joe's today containing ALL MANNER of things pumpkin: pumpkin bread mix, pumpkin croissants, pumpkin yogurt, pumpkin waffles, pumpkin ravioli, pumpkin soup. They even have pumpkin dog biscuits. Is there a TJ's near Larry? Or perhaps he has a better source (freshly baked).

It seems Nook website doesn't have my cover anymore.  They do have a plainer version of it and I can see it is a Polyurethane exterior with a sueded lining.  Now I know what to look for.

Never had one moment to do a jog today so I'll have to be careful about what I eat tonight - the good news is that for lunch I only had salmon and vegetables, so under six hundred calories.

The right side of my neck near the top of my shoulder has been bothering me for a few days. It feels slightly inflamed. I've been icing it. And have sort of found a good position to sleep.  It actually doesn't hurt when i bike. But it doesn't feel too great when i'm sitting at the computer.

Not really sure what to do. Maybe i'll try the heating pad. And i'll try not to lift anything much.

One word....Chiropractor

Okay, I can finally tell you what the project is: It's a new musical revue I'll be creating, called Pure Imagination - The World of Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse.  We begin performances on November 15 and officially open the first week of December.

That's sensational.  Tony was a friend of mine and I love the songs he did with Bricusse.

Will the show be running in Los Angeles the week before Chistmas?  If so, I might get a chance to see it.

I just finished watching the latest episode of "Glee," which is a tribute to the late Cory Monteith.  The actor died and they had his character die, also.  It was very well done and very sad and very touching.
