Good morning, all! I'm up, dressed, and ready for the session. Thank you for the vines last night! I need them today.
I'm also a bit tense because, after yesterday's email exchange, my beloved producer Judy appears to have gone from a "this is fun! " recording to a "let's finish this crap fast!" attitude. If that's the case, it will be a tense day. If sure that's a part of her own frustrations, by I prefer those sessions where things go my way and very smoothly. This recording could be fantastic, but it's been a damned difficult one to assemble, and I'm tense.
KEEP THOSE POSITIVE VIBES COMING!

BK, I loved the notes on Mary Rodgers. I met her through Ted Chapin at a Rodgers & Hammerstein Christmas party years ago. I saw her only occasionally, but I will miss her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vibes for DR vixmom tomorrow! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll be at the office tomorrow working away. It's supposed to be 83 and sunny tomorrow.

Tonight we are seeing Ruby Rims!
I know him from my Gift Bag work and I know of his long history performing in the 70s and 80s but I've never seen one of his shows. I'm looking forward to the evening

Morning, all!
So sad to hear about Mary Rodgers. I never did put my copy of "Hey, Love" on ye olde iPod, but I'll be sure to do so now. I sat near her once, at a very mediocre production of "Boys From Syracuse" (she was acknowledged at the end of the show). "Mattress" has so many great lyrics (the whole "Alas/a lass/I lack/alack" bit is pure joy).
Ben: Enjoy seeing Ruby! I remember him very fondly from my Eighty-Eights days, and I'm so thrilled to hear that he's still around. His version of "Let Them Hear You" from Ragtime is still my definitive one.
TOD:
On ye olde iPod: lectures, lectures, more lectures
blip.tv playlist: "Brows Held High" - sardonic reviews of various arthouse films that I'll never see
-
Here is a great collection of Mary Rodgers YouTube clips. You can also follow the links to the full 1964 television Once Upon a Mattress (in three parts):
http://goo.gl/qzj84y
-
TOD:
Assuming it arrives from Netflix, we'll be watching REASONABLE DOUBT this weekend.
Also, I still have the original cast CDs of THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY and A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER that I haven't heard yet.
-
We watched HOTEL BERLIN on TCM last night. I'd never seen it before, and it's quite good; written by Vicki Baum, who wrote GRAND HOTEL. The story is set at the end of WW2.
I assume the film is not that well known because it has a "B," albeit talented, cast. There are no major names, just good actors like Raymond Massey, Peter Lorre, Andrea King, etc. Lorre was superb in a very un-Lorre type of role.
-
Good morning, all.
Heaps of vibes for Vixmom, Elmore, Mike and anyone else in need out there.
-
TOD:
Mary Rodgers stuff, maybe Here's Love or The Mad Show.
And in the car, disc 11 of Great Expectations.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for that link, Ben. Whither, a book Powell loathed (it was her first), is the only one that hasn't been reprinted. Now I can read it and judge for myself.
-
TOD:
CD -- (Never heard of The Mad Show!)
Once Upon a Mattress and (once I find that I actually have this, but I think I do) Hey, Love
BLU -- Runaway Train -- wow! Had never seen it. Got through half of it last night before falling asleep, which I hated doing but couldn't help it.
-
In looking at things about Mary Rodgers on the Internet, I somehow found myself reading yet another debate about the merits of son Adam's score for A Light in the Piazza.
I adore the score and found the original production incredibly moving, but what strikes me is the disparate array of reactions to the score: from pure adulation to pure loathing.
-
I didn't know Powell at all until Ginny talked about her. Because she's an early century writer I looked to see if any of her stuff was at Gutenberg or Many Books. No luck there but the Internet Archive, a great resource has those 2 books. Open Library, another Internet lending library, has 17 of her books in some form
Dawn Powell Open Library (https://openlibrary.org/search?q=dawn+powell&author_key=OL6274279A&has_fulltext=true)

TOD:
CDs: David Campbell sings John Bucchino, Sheldon Harnick Hidden Treasures, Herbert Howells: The Complete Works for Violin & Piano
Netflix: one of the films that DR Jeanne recommended last night
Tonight we will be hearing Carmina Burana at Orchestra Hall.

DR TCB: Saying "a young Sondheim" and "a young Cariou" would necessitate saying "an alive Gingold". That wouldn't do, so the writer made it Sondheim-centric and only alluded to the fact that you can see a smooth Sondheim face in those photos.
-
Shia LaBoeuf: I have enjoyed performances by him in several films, but nothing that would have me believe he is entitled to any consideration for anti-social behavior.
He is to be pitied, yes, but he needs to wake up before it's too late.
-
DR Ben: I say Purina (short i).
-
Getaway vibes for DR FJL.
Continued recording vibes for DR ELMORE....the one with the new bathroom.
Saturday vibes for DR VIXMOM.
Sounds like an interesting show DR BEN!

I am still contemplating the photo DR SINGDAW posted yesterday of a dog walking down the street carrying the leg of a mannequin.

After last nights discussion on Dawn Powell I requested my library purchase "A Time to Be Born", the only Powell option the eBook library offered.
-
From DR Singdaw:
Don't leave now, DR John G. DR vixmom is just getting started.
I just grabbed a bowl of popcorn, myself.
;D
-
From DR Vixmom:
and we got it back to her pressed, cleaned and in time for her wedding
Oh, that must have felt good. :)

I am still contemplating the photo DR SINGDAW posted yesterday of a dog walking down the street carrying the leg of a mannequin.
Perhaps it was Natalie Portman's wooden leg.
-
The previous post was for DR Sandra.
-
I think that dog's name is Chompers.
-
He looks like a Chompers.
-
And only a dog named Chompers would sashay down a busy city street with a wooden leg in his mouth.
-
Sashay...a good word...and it often puts me in mind of....well, never mind.
-
Happy Friday to all.
-
~~~~~~~~May you all have excellent VIBES today, especially DR Elmo who doesn't want any seltzer down his pants. ~~~~~~~~
-
I hope all our posters who were expecting challenges today are having things turn out well.
-
I ordered a USED copy of Hey, Love from Amazon.
-
I think any dog can sashay if he is so inclined, whether he has an extra leg or not. Although perhaps the extra leg would give him more of a swagger than a sashay.....
-
The previous post was for DR Sandra.
And how is DR Sandra?
-
Sashay...a good word...and it often puts me in mind of....well, never mind.
Sort of reminds me of one of my favorite Indiana jokes. From "The Philadelphia Story": "South Bend? It sounds like dancing."
-
I'm up, I'm up. Was up at six-thirty, then fell back asleep an hour later, so eight hours in all.
-
We did, indeed, watch the two films that DR Jeanne recommended last night. Both were wonderful.
-
I'm watching some of those Mary Rodgers clips, and I have to say no one can belt out "Shy" like Carol Burnett.
-
Friday afternoon greetings! Richard and I left for the Y about 11am and were ready for lunch when we left there a couple hours later. Because I wanted to visit a flooring place south of here, we decided to check out the dining options at Miami Valley Gaming (http://www.miamivalleygaming.com), the new racino between here and my Mom's. It's so NOT our kind of place, but an appropriate place to go on the day that tens of thousands of librarians are gathering in Las Vegas for the American Library Association Annual Conference. We looked at the dining places, but thought the prices were too high and ended up at Gold Star Chili across the street. After lunch we picked out new flooring for the upstairs bathroom and set up a tentative install date of next Wednesday.
-
Vibes for DR Vixmom - tomorrow will be a piece of cake compared to tonight...
-
I hope DR Elmore's day is going smoothly...
-
The previous post was for DR Sandra.
Does this mean she is lurking?
-
I hope all our posters who were expecting challenges today are having things turn out well.
That is a nice thought.
-
After lunch we picked out new flooring for the upstairs bathroom and set up a tentative install date of next Wednesday.
That is fast. It must be in stock.
-
It has been too long since I swam and it felt so very good to be in the water again. I lucked out with my own lane.

Thank you to DR Ben for the links to eBook versions of Dawn Powell's work. Ask Anthony if he remembers helping me pick out DP books at the Strand Bookstore and then chatting about my project on a park bench in Union Square.
DR John G, when you read WHITHER (which I didn't think was so bad), pay attention to the description of Rowena, the Lyceum performer, between pages 112 and 121. I laughed out loud when reading that and imagining what Dawn would think of a Chautauqua enactment of herself!
-

Yes, it's a warehouse kind of place and we don't have time to be choosy. Rob and Mary Linda's move-in date is 3 weeks from tomorrow and I'm getting a little panicky about what all still needs to be done.

I would also be a bit panicky.

I really hope we get this film on Blu soon.
-
Good afternoon or evening. I've spent the day taking care of several annoying chores that just had to finally be crossed off the list. Tonight, one of the last things I feel like doing is sitting at a local outdoor venue watching some people put on ANYTHING GOES. And yet, that's just what I'm doing. Got to see a few folks.
-
Tomorrow night, I'll be watching (at least it's indoors) another group of people doing BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON, of which I know nothing. I've been told I'll enjoy it, or at least not hate it. We'll see. Oh yes, we shall see.
(Almost typed SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY there.)
-
For now, let's hope DR Elmore isn't BLOODY when he shows up after Roberta sessions.

Name the film, and the actor who had this line:
"O pointy birds, o pointy pointy, anoint my head, anointy-nointy."

And, no, I don't believe singdaw was in the film, even though...

Good morning, all! I'm up, dressed, and ready for the session. Thank you for the vines last night! I need them today.
I'm also a bit tense because, after yesterday's email exchange, my beloved producer Judy appears to have gone from a "this is fun! " recording to a "let's finish this crap fast!" attitude. If that's the case, it will be a tense day. If sure that's a part of her own frustrations, by I prefer those sessions where things go my way and very smoothly. This recording could be fantastic, but it's been a damned difficult one to assemble, and I'm tense.
KEEP THOSE POSITIVE VIBES COMING!

Thanks! It's a huge relief. This whole recording has been an ordeal. I'm very happy with it, but it has not been an easy recording with too many pieces to assemble: stage band, orchestra, dialogues and vocals from Dublin and Manhattan; too many pieces of the puzzle to risk dropping one. After this epic, anther like EILEEN or DEAREST ENEMY will be a breeze!

We have much to watch on our DVR, however, I don't have a clue what we shall watch tonight.
I am extremely relieved I am done reading CLOUD ATLAS. I was so uninterested in the middle chapters I read without absorbing-lol
I'm deciding which library book to begin, the shorter & 1st one listed that I need to read by the 8th for my book group or the longer book I want to begin.

Wow! I would love to see him.

Great Performances is broadcasting the Met's La Boheme tonight. So heartbreaking, that score just grabs me by the throat and throttles me. So many great melodies and shattering moments.

I just heard on the news that Amy Adams was on a flight today, and she gave up her First Class seat to a serviceman.
I would say that she is a First-Class Act!!

We just came from delivering a wedding present to DN Lauren and Jim. They were very pleased with the Cutco items that we had inscribed with their names and wedding date. I put the kitchen shears in a "scissor sock" that my Mom made out of a potholder that Richard's Mom (Lauren's grandmother) made.
-
I like your gift Ginny. Tell them to be very careful not to cut themselves on those new Cutco knives. I say this from experience. ;D

I have been worried that SnubNose has been downplaying how bad the flooding was around him. So, this morning I sent my personal drone up over Minnesota -- and this is what I saw!

DR Elmore - glad to hear today went so well!
-
I just heard on the news that Amy Adams was on a flight today, and she gave up her First Class seat to a serviceman.
I would say that she is a First-Class Act!!
I read that earlier, too. That's pretty cool.
-
We just watched REASONABLE DOUBT.
Terrible movie. Almost as bad as NICK OF TIME.
-
Well, I'm off. I'm going to pick up my friend and her daughter from the airport. I have to get her van first, though. The good part is that she has a CD player (I don't have one in my car), so I have to pick something to listen to on the way up. Their flight comes in at about 9:20 pm, so I'm sure that they won't want to listen to something on the way back home. Anyway, I'm outta here!

Had a good dinner with the Staitmans, Sami and mom. Too much food, though, but all in all a fun evening.

Just before I left, talked to the attorney - he'd given them until today to respond and, smartly, they did. Not what we wanted, of course, just a response saying that within a week's time everything would be wrapped up and that all further correspondence needed to be sent to the District's legal counsel. The attorney replied that yes, that's what it needed to be, and that any response to me within the week's time had to go to him. It's his opinion that they understand what's at stake here, but who knows. He's going to call them on Tuesday, although we'll discuss whether we should give them the week they've mentioned. Either way, however this is going to play out it will play out shortly. He doesn't think that initially they will give me what I'm asking for, but he does think eventually I'll get it.

Best of luck with it.

In looking at things about Mary Rodgers on the Internet, I somehow found myself reading yet another debate about the merits of son Adam's score for A Light in the Piazza.
I adore the score and found the original production incredibly moving, but what strikes me is the disparate array of reactions to the score: from pure adulation to pure loathing.
Oh, you have been talking to elmore.

DR TCB - thanks for adding more hair and removing about 90 pounds! ;D
-
The concert was excellent. Also on the bill was Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, so it was a lovely and full evening. The chorus worked very hard, as did the soloists. And the percussion section. Boy, that is a difficult sing!
-
Good afternoon or evening. I've spent the day taking care of several annoying chores that just had to finally be crossed off the list. Tonight, one of the last things I feel like doing is sitting at a local outdoor venue watching some people put on ANYTHING GOES. And yet, that's just what I'm doing. Got to see a few folks.
But you get to hear Cole Porter. That's one of the things that makes life more worthwhile.
Back. And: Yes! It turned out to be just what I needed.
-
I did love that man!
Is that Molly Brown? Who is the man?
I know I should know this.

I bought on EBAY a lobby card from ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE and the seller turned out to be DR MBARNUM!
Was it signed by all the males in the cast?
-
The man would be Harve Presnell, right?
Who by the way is the baritone on the old Eugene Ormandy recording of CARMINA BURANA that many of us grew up with. I still have a great fondness for it.
-
Wow! Thanks, DR ChasSmith - I had not made that connection.
-
Great Performances is broadcasting the Met's La Boheme tonight. So heartbreaking, that score just grabs me by the throat and throttles me. So many great melodies and shattering moments.
Yes, but do you think it is as good as RENT?
-
Was it signed by all the males in the cast?
In lipstick and mascara!
-
Good night, folks!
