Bottom line, though, it's just bizarre, the stuff you come up with, and believe it's real.
Wouldn't you love to be sitting at this table? :)

We lost two of my favorite performers this past week.
I really don't think there are any performers of the younger ilk could even come close to their abilities.
I must say though that I saw several extraordinary, remarkable performing (and also creative) talents in my school days, whose innate abilities could rival the people who are making it, but they just couldn't be bothered with what someone has to go through to build a career in modern show business, and chose a more financially secure life in the business world. It makes me think the talent is there, but the business has changed.

So many had the studios behind them. Even in the early days of television Warner Brothers, Universal, Fox had their stable of talent. There were only three networks ABC, CBS, NBC who believed in performers. They would get TV shows and even if they were not success they would give them 13 weeks or even a full season of shows. Remember when a first run season consisted of 39 first episodes and ran about 26 minutes with opening closing titles?
No we are lucky if a sitcom is 20 minutes long and the opening/closing credits are basically a thing of the past.

Ditto from here. Sandy is a joy to watch and hear, and puts on a great show (with BK's terrific direction).
I think that Ormandy recording of Carmina Burana may have been one of the firsts, if not the first. He was a wonderful conductor, but I think he, like Reiner, Monteux, Fiedler, Ansermet, and others, may be looked down and perhaps forgotten as well, by trendy au courant critics whose memories are shunted aside by all that knowledge they claim to carry. I like the work of all these gentlemen.
I am sure that the Orff is available as a single disc.
Alas, it seems Ormandy didn't conduct all three pieces comprising the Trionfi; or if he did, they don't seem to be represented in the catalogue.
And the word of the day is: ORRERY!
I bought a new rocking chair for my front porch at the Marsh Grocery Store. The manager sold me the one that he had put together - which was very nice of him to do.
I want to buy a small white table now....since the brown one doesn't match.

And a very happy haineshisway.com birthday to Miss Karen, who doesn't live here anymore. She is mother to the original Zubrick of The Brain, Cason Murphy.
New study reported on AOL says early bird may get the worm, but may be more likely to lie to get it:
"If you ever wondered what's wrong with people who jump right out of bed in the morning, well, a new study shows you might just be onto something: early risers may be less honest as the day goes on.
According to the US study with data acquired by researchers from Johns Hopkins, Washington and Georgetown, early birds may get the worm but they may not be so moral to get it. So, larks are more likely to cheat and lie than people who are late to bed and late to rise.
This of course flips the stereotype that night owls are badly behaved. But, before you start judging all your friends, family and lovers based on their sleep schedule -- listen up, because while morning types were less likely to resist temptation in the evening when their mental energy was low, those who burn the midnight oil tend to have similar issues in the morning when they're tired.
So, in the end, it turns out, you can't trust anyone. But, at least you know when it's more likely they're telling the truth."

It is a good thing you didn't go to Lima today.
All in all, I'd rather be at the Metropolitan Room...
We need photos from tonight's HHW Gathering.
I have no idea who the fat old woman is, but the handsome gents are our very own Chas and Elmore

A white table would look nice with your new chair. If I have to assemble something I am likely not going to buy it.
It is hard for me to choose a favorite, they were all so good but I agree that Simply was a highlight and very well received
Sandy was wonderful, she was effusive in her praise for you, Bruce and her mention of your name drew immediate applause
and these two "kids" tagged along as well

Hi Jose.
I like that the Vixter wore matching, yet practical, shoes with her pretty dress.
Finally, I gave up and turned the damned flash on.

I wonder what the grey haired lady sitting behind the kids said to the lady standing up
Hi Jose.

Thank you, Jane. She told she was going to wear sneakers and I thought "Really?!" then she came down dressed and she looked great so I am glad I kept my thoughts to myself
elmore, that Moldau is a stereo recording done for RCA years after the one I grew up with, which was on Columbia - being mono, I don't think it will ever get a release.
And yes, that first box you pictured is the Columbia set - the other box is RCA - not sure if he recorded Carmina Burana for both labels, but if so I would seek out the Columbia first.
Great photographs. Sandy called after the show and was mostly pleased with how it went. She wasn't happy with the bass player - not something people probably noticed or heard, but Sandy's used to working with the best and this bass player was apparently not up to the task and played a few things oddly - thankfully I've taught Sandy to be strong enough not to be thrown by such things.
Glad to hear you all enjoyed it - it was a fun show to put together.
You didn't run into the errant and truant DR Jason, did you?
George, you'll have to let us know how you like (or not) THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL.
Sad news - apparently we have lost James Garner.
Just had a nice e-mail from a film composer whose work I discovered recently - I think we're going to be able to put out a score or two by him, including the one that introduced him to me.
Deal is done for the two scores - the composer is Soren Hyldgaard and the scores are the Danish miniseries I spoke of the other day, The Spider, and the movie I watched last night, Red.

In honor of of the day I had a junior scoop of peppermint stick ice cream on a sugar cone.
Great photos! Looks like everyone had a great time.
and we ran into this long lost DR --- who says, "HI!"

Even without knowing about this, I went to Dairy Queen and had a S'Mores Blizzard. I love the Dairy Queen S'Mores Blizzard!
Iinteresting about the bass player. FWIW, I noticed nothing amiss. But I can well believe there's no one in the world like Jay Leonhart.
Very much enjoyed the notes on Ormandy.
Since my parents had joined the Columbia Record Club, a number of our classical albums were Ormandy, too. (That would change a little, for me, as I gravitated toward Bernstein with the emergence of West Side Story and the Symphonic Dances album, and later the Mahler symphonies.) I don't remember many specific albums, but Ormandy's Grand Canyon Suite comes to mind. If you want to laugh, at that time I was judging Grand Canyon Suite recordings by how I liked the obligatory cover photograph, and Ormandy's is burned into my memory.
We probably had an Entremont recording or two, but I think our Columbia expenditures leaned more heavily toward Broadway cast albums and my dad's Mitch Miller albums. At some point in my high school years I started my own membership in the RCA club, probably more for the additional cast albums than anything.
I've said previously that Ormandy's "Carmina Burana" holds a special place in the heart, and I still have it on a pristine original LP and on reel-to-reel tape.

George, I'm glad you're getting good houses for the Tempest. How much longer does the show run.
BTW, I love the idea of partying until 7:30 a.m. That's so far in my past. But I have some wonderful dim memories.
