Sad news about the recording not working out for the "Time and Again" songs and those other three songs.  (Is there a sound recording at least that could be shared?)

Good morning, all! Another day with little to report.

First thing this morning, I must run down to Broadway and 50th Street to drop off some things for the Jerome Kern attorney and hopefully resolve the recording issues fr New World Records. I need to be back here by noon t wait for the stove repairman.

I think that's my day.

Dick Jones has died. He was the original voice of Pinocchio.

This makes me very sad. Pinocchio was my "role model" growing up. I saw the movie when I was 4 years old, and after I heard Pinocchio sing "Hi, diddlie dee," I was was determined to go into show business.

The POP book sounds great, especially since it contains some crucial photographic evidence.

And yet I know so well the frustration of just the ADDITIONAL right photographs continuing to elude one.  Oh, how I know it.

Remember the photo of the Steel Magnolias Cast that I sent to the Hoosier Topics?

Monday night the local paper came and took their own photos, and this is the one that's on the front page today.....I am disappointed, to say the least.  I wish the director had had a bit more time.....or made the photographer wait until the actresses had fixed their wigs.

MOVIE OF THE DAY SCENE

Julius Caesar

(http://a66c7b.medialib.glogster.com/media/71/71b00ea7861f1c384dabe9e89a15ed3b16e32a812385bf9448ce491590066bcc/juliuscaesarantony1.jpg)

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar.

My Ask BK question:


Do you watch your singers in the studio as they're recording, or do you purposely NOT watch them, to "hear" the acting on the take as it will come across through the speakers?
Title: Re: THE WONDERFUL, MAGICAL DAYS AND NIGHTS OF PACIFIC OCEAN PARK
Post by: bk on July 09, 2014, 07:26:51 AM
I was probably the first producer in history not to watch singers.  I describe it in detail in Album Produced By.  I don't watch them because they do all that acting stuff and it fools you.  The only thing that matters is that it's working for the ear.  I have done this from the very first two albums and I've never changed.

BK: Speaking of The Hollywood Bowl, TCM played a golden oldie last week titled MOONLIGHT MURDER (1936). It starred Chester Morris, Madge Evans, and Leo Carrillo and took place entirely at the Hollywood Bowl. It was a fun little murder mystery!

I was also sad to hear about Dick Jones. I really liked him in the tv series BUFFALO BILL JR.

However, I spent 3 days with him at a western  convention in Memphis and he was anything but pleasent. I don't know if he was just in poor health at the time or what, but he was very unfriendly.

He told me that he hated coming to these things, but his wife loved it, so he went. He was quite nice to the fans, but wanted nothing to do with the other celebrity guests. That was the year I attended so that I could help out Kenny Miller and Laurie Mitchell. We tried to include him at lunches and dinners, but he would leave in a huff and sit as far away from everyone as he could. It was sad.

I've run my errand. Got into a fight with a young lady - 20-30 in age I guess - on the uptown 104 bus; she got on the bus one stop before mine, and rather than taking a seat, she stood in the back door well. Just stood there, God knows why. I was sitting in the back of these lousy new buses so I had to come down several steps, a painful process, to get out the door, and I waited on the steps while an older woman maneuvered her luggage around this isiot woman blocking both the door and my getting off the steps. As I exited, I made a comment like, "I don't know why you're blocking the door when you're not getting off," and she told me to go fuck myself. I responded with "eat shit, bitch" - very mature, I admit - and left the bus. Not one of my finer moments, but what an ass she was.

Today would have been my father's 96th birthday. He passed away when I was a teen. He was an amateur photographer. A few years ago on his birthday I honored him by buying a good camera. I think he would have loved digital cameras.

Today in his honor Wae-Ling and I headed north to photograph butterflies and things. She became ill when we got to Payson, so we came home. I imagine she will be sleeping most of the afternoon.

DR JohnG, I was wrong. I do have a couple of items still up on Ebay. Nothing exciting, unless a shirtless publicity photo of Edson Stroll strikes you fancy.

Bid often and bid high, I always say.

I did just mail off two complete lobby card sets to 12 TO THE MOON (1960) and VIKING WOMEN AND THE SEA SERPENT, both heading to Alabama as I type this.

Plus a Mark Forest as Goliath lobby card is winging its way to another part of the country.

I went to a mostly vegan burger joint or lunch. The gluten-free bun is vegetarian, but not vegan. And they do offer cheese. But I tasted the fishless sandwich and had the chopped "meat" bbq sandwich as well as a "corndog." Not bad. But I hate the quotes.

I was also sad to hear about Dick Jones. I really liked him in the tv series BUFFALO BILL JR.

However, I spent 3 days with him at a western  convention in Memphis and he was anything but pleasent. I don't know if he was just in poor health at the time or what, but he was very unfriendly.

He told me that he hated coming to these things, but his wife loved it, so he went. He was quite nice to the fans, but wanted nothing to do with the other celebrity guests. That was the year I attended so that I could help out Kenny Miller and Laurie Mitchell. We tried to include him at lunches and dinners, but he would leave in a huff and sit as far away from everyone as he could. It was sad.

I suppose he gets points for being honest about his grumpiness.

Today would have been my father's 96th birthday. He passed away when I was a teen. He was an amateur photographer. A few years ago on his birthday I honored him by buying a good camera. I think he would have loved digital cameras.

Today in his honor Wae-Ling and I headed north to photograph butterflies and things. She became ill when we got to Payson, so we came home. I imagine she will be sleeping most of the afternoon.

You know how to honor your parent's.  I'm sorry you lost him so young :(

I hope Wae-Ling soon feels better.

I went to a mostly vegan burger joint or lunch. The gluten-free bun is vegetarian, but not vegan. And they do offer cheese. But I tasted the fishless sandwich and had the chopped "meat" bbq sandwich as well as a "corndog." Not bad. But I hate the quotes.

It sounds good.  I guess the quotes are to remind you it doesn't really taste like meat.

In the distant past, I would have said plain old (but decent) Wonder Bread-style white bread.  But nowadays I'm thinking a tomato sandwich could work very well with any number of breads, notably sourdough, rye, whole wheat, multi-grain, etc. etc.

We do not watch LONGMIRE because we can't stand the actress who plays Vic.  If you had read the books you would truly understand my objections to her.  In the novels she is funny and described, by Longmire, as an Italian Goddess.  The actress isn't funny and she doesn't look Italian.

I liked the rest of the cast very much.  Shortly after it was published I read the latest novel and was very pleased.  I am sorry this one actress can ruin the show for us.  My brother watches anyway even though he doesn't like her either.

I actually like the actress, but I find her character irritating. I assumed that's how it was written. Apparently, the director chose to deviate from the novels. Casting can certainly ruin a show.

And, yes, we are losing our capacity for overnight guests unless they want to sleep on our family room couch or Rob & Mary Linda's futon.

The various times our boys lived back home they cooked for me.  We did the main shopping and they did some as well.  Bryan wasn't working at all when he lived here but Craig was so he did more shopping than Bryan did.  It just fell into place with a mix of shopping and cooking, cleaning and errands.  I think being single it was different.

I was up very late last night working on my books for the office.  I finally was getting ready for bed around 2:15 when I heard a crash and glass breaking and Ricky flew past me and down the basement stairs.   Somehow he knocked a picture off a table and the glass in the frame broke.  So I ran the vacuum at 2:30 AM.  Then I went down the basement and poor Ricky was crouched under the table and very scared.  I carried him upstairs and calmed him down.  It was actually quite cute.
