Title: SEND IN THE SNOODS
Post by: bk on February 13, 2014, 12:15:08 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes brought back the snood, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently wearing a sMOOd.

Post by: George on February 13, 2014, 01:15:13 AM: I've been in several shows set in the 1940s and the women wore snoods. The actresses also used to draw lines on the backs of their legs with eyebrow pencils to simulate the seam in stockings, since the stocking aren't made that way anymore.

Pantyhose......light heat iron.....make a crease where you want the seam.....use a sewing machine on stretch stitch and a ballpoint needle....go from heel to as high on the stocking as want.....

I didn't believe it either.....but it works. And the stockings look great onstage.

Title: Re: SEND IN THE SNOODS
Post by: ChasSmith on February 13, 2014, 06:12:49 AM: Pudding.

I know I grew up liking it, and I remember my mother making whatever the common brand was. I remember only chocolate and vanilla, and I think it was a fairly common dessert for us. At some point we also had tapioca, which I also liked, but I don't know if that was at home or just when we went out -- which makes me think that might have been more of a cafeteria staple.

I guess I dropped pudding over the years. I remember enjoying a few of the ready-to-eat packs back in the early '80s, but it never caught on as a regular thing for me. I don't think I've had tap tap tapioca in years, but a couple of years ago I renewed my acquaintance with, and declared my love for, rice pudding. Sometimes I'll grab a tub of it at the store, throw in some raisins (and lately some dried cranberries), sprinkle some nutmeg (or is it cinnamon? or both?) on it, and binge on it at home. On DR Elmore's recommendation, I enjoyed the rice pudding at Artie's.

Post by: elmore3003 on February 13, 2014, 06:24:27 AM: Good morning, all! Another day of confinement. It looks terrible outside and from all the TV news accounts, it apparently is.

Last night I had truly weird dreams after I got back to sleep around 3:00am. I remember that one of them had to do with my walking exercises with Morgan my therapist, and the last one was about a recording and not wanting to hire the singer who is no longer a friend, the snow and having to get to a photocopier. Today, I'll copy the band parts for my choral arrangement and that's about it.

Josh Grisetti? Fantastic! I love Josh! I met him at Goodspeed in 2004 on "Where's Charley?" and I am a huge fan. I wanted to see him in "Peter and the Starcatcher," but it was during the period where I could barely stand upright or walk last autumn.

I brought him into the 2007 NYMF "Brain From Planet X" auditions; I thought he'd be good for Rod. My memory is that he'd just been through a surgery and couldn't do any lifting. I was thinking that was the last time I'd seen him, but it was actually backstage at the York after "So Long 174th Street."

Coffee!

Post by: ChasSmith on February 13, 2014, 06:24:33 AM: Butterscotch! I bet we had that one, too, and that I loved it. And yes, I guess Jell-O was always the brand.

And we had lots of Jell-O, too. Lots.

Title: Re: SEND IN THE SNOODS
Post by: elmore3003 on February 13, 2014, 06:29:43 AM: I remember Jell-o puddings. My mother used the vanilla pudding in her banana dessert that my dad liked, and we always had it in stock in the pantry along with the others. My Aunt Lois used the chocolate and butterscotch as pie fillers.

DR Elmore: Is this the arrangement for which you didn't like the choice of instruments? What is it, and how would you change it?

Yep! I hate the instrument lineup: Oboe, Bassoon, Trumpet, Horn, Piano, Bass, and Drums,which is the Cincinnati chorus' instrumental lineup. I do not think it's right for the piece I did, and I'd rather score it for just the piano, bass and drums. I'd also like a guitar.

I have a suspicion that if I don't employ the other four players, someone else may write parts for them and i'd rather do it myself. I had to do that a bit during my NYC Gay Men's Chorus years and I always felt awkward about rescoring another's piece.

If I had my way, I'd prefer a flute over a bassoon so I could write something in a tessitura higher than the men's voices, and I'd rather have two trumpets.

Post by: John G. on February 13, 2014, 07:47:19 AM: TOD: I can't remember the first pudding I ever ate. I'm sure Mom made it and I'm sure it was wonderful.

On the barbecue trail last fall, it as a must to taste many variations of banana pudding. The best were the ones that used vanilla pudding with banana and Nilla Wafers (which actually have no vanilla in them). The flavor of artificial banana in the banana pudding was a dead giveaway about corners that a kitchen was cutting. It generally showed in the meats, too.

The best banana pudding was from a place in town, upscale barbecue. They make their own vanilla wafers and their pudding is so creamy that it's like silk. Takes forever to make, which I now because they agreed to share the recipe for our book. And the restaurant only serves it on Saturdays. But it's sooooo good.

Sure did. The word-of-mouth on that show was fantastic, it's one of the best scores of the 1980s, and it died on Broadway in one night. I couldn't wait to see it and it closed. There were also great word-of-mouth and reviews for Colombeand it couldn't get support to move it.

Michael's been a friend for a long time and I'm a huge supporter of his music.

It was supposed to open off-Broadway, I believe, but they couldn't get a theatre, so they opened at the small Golden Theatre. It was an Brechtian, anti-Vietnam musical about two privates going through the the brutality and horror of the Crimean War and the notorious Charge of the Light Brigade.

Jeanie Carson played all of the women's roles: Queen Victoria, Florence Nightingale, a music hall singer, a whore, possibly more; her standby was Frances Sternhagen. I should call her about it. TJohn Lewin, the playwright/lyricist was a member of the Guthrie Theatre and had written several adaptations for the Minneapolis company. He died in Minneaplis several years ago at age 74.

I expected more book reviews and fewer articles, most of which have nothing to do with books. Mostly I did not expect to see personal ads. I'm glad I wasn't eating when I read the one from the woman who is seeking a man, married or single.

Oy! I just got an unwanted email with a blast from the past!

Hmm, anyone I know?

Not unless you work for a foundation that shut down Toyland and dropped me and my team in 2011

I suppose they want something from you.

That would be my guess or a donation..

Why would they ask someone they've sacked for a donation?

They do want something. I think I need to be drunk before I make the call.

NDSU asked me for a donation.. Pretty low I thought but then again, nothing surprises me

Universities are like that.

And the older alums get, the more aggressive they get. Any day now I expect Michigan o start asking me to remember the university in my will.

This song encapsulates Ben's realization that things could have been quite different had he worn the snood for Sally, but alas he regrets he hadn't. A rather melancholy song in which the singer is accompanied by oboe and slide trombone all the while singing in a Frankie Valli-falsetto set to a rockin' calypso beat. Why, oh why, has this never been recorded, yet . . . .

To add to DA BK's post, I saw the PBS program (which you may be familiar with) "Theater Talk" (http://www.theatertalk.org/) a few years back (2006?), the hosts and guests (I'm sorry I've forgotten who was on the program) discussed the then-new edition of Mr. Engels's Words With Music: Creating The Broadway Musical Libretto. There was mention of the kinds of source material that could provide great drama but could not ever be musical. This was a very interesting show, but I could not find it online. However, someone out there may be able to find it as it is highly recommended by lil' ol' me.
