Well, you've read the notes, the notes took the bull by the horns, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently trying to take the bull by the horns just for the sake of amusement.
-
And the word of the day is: WYVERN!
-
And a very happy birthday to singingnymph, who shows up every now and then.
-
A Very Happy Birthday to DR singingnymph! ;D
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Cannot fall asleep. But that resulted in seeing a wonderful e-mail from my pal Bruce Vilanch, who will be our guest star for our anniversary show. So happy.
-
Good morning, all.
Early, but not as early as it might have been. I was awake at 5:18 in the a.m., knew I wasn't getting back to sleep, but made myself stay in bed and relax for an hour.
Coffee!

What a fabulous dance clip; thanks, bk! :)

Happiest of birthday wishes to E&T DR singingnymph!!!

What the heck is Antenna TV?

What the heck is Antenna TV?
It's an OTA (Over the Air) channel that is also picked up by some cable providers. It's usually one of the sub-channels on a broadcast station in a city. We have it as a sub-channel of WPIX Channel 11. We also have "This TV" as part of the Channel 11 mix. Antenna plays series from the 50s through the 80s, some good, some not so good. They play The Partridge Family on the weekends, along with Gidget and The Flying Nun. Here is the home page with a list of the shows they run and where they are in various cities around the country.

Good morning, all! I finally decided that staying in bed forever was not the solution, so I am dressed, the bed is made, and i will sn head down to Toyland to schlep some things home.
I had some bad news on Saturday that sent me into a talspin: I've been working on scanning the JUBILEE full scores in hopes that funding might be raised to record the show or that Encores! at some point will do it, but I was told Encores! will never perform the show because the woman running City Center knows nothing about musicals and rejects all shows she does not know, which is most of them. So, by Sunday morning, my attitude was, maybe i should stop scanning the scores and just throw the whole mess into the garbage; it's clearly never after nearly 30 years, going to do anything for my vanishing career, so WTF?
On a more positive note than something I once did really well gathering dust, I'm getting out of Dodge ASAP. I will carry a few more items hme from Toyland today, and I hope to have all the heavy lifting finished by Labor Day. I will call Bruce Pomahac today and see if I can get some help transferring the DEAREST ENEMY materials back to Rodgers & Hammerstein.
DR John G, I wonder if Luca Della Casa is related to the wonderful opera star Lisa Della Casa?

Good morning to all
-
That really was a great dance number.
Today its more about acrobatics; flips and tumbles and using the arms and legs and standing upright and doing.
It's a shame that The American Dance Manchine disbanded after I believe the death of its founder Lee Theodore.
-
both of which I believe were first introduced to me on this here site

I'm going to suggest two:
Turkey Lurkey Time from Promises, Promises original cast led by Donna McKechnie

Dance by Michael Bennett

Ben Thanks for the Antenna TV info

DR elmore3003:
I rage against this woman and all like her who, these days, seem to rise to ranks of authority because of, or in spite of, their profound ignorance and utter lack of intellectual curiosity.
-
This woman's stupidity may be a stumbling block, but it certainly doesn't de-legitimize the fine work that you have done.

Thank you, DRs singdaw and vixmom; I have no idea if this rumor is true, but i'd heard it over a year ago - from someone on the Encores! board - as the reason why Encores! has never done The Golden Apple, which is one of their most requested shows, with Jubilee and a couple of others. The news about the Cole Porter show was a bombshell on Saturday, and it really flummoxed me.
-
BK thanlks for introducing me to that dance number p I am glad to hear that the recording is finished (finally!) to your satisfaction
-
OK I better get me to work klaters
-
One more
Donna McKechnie and Michael Bennett
The Music and the Mirror.
It was designed for her and I've seen many Cassies over the years and none have quite matched Ms. McKechnie

It amazes me that someone who is the head of an organization like Encores has no idea about Musical Theater History or Heritage.
Does the ditz hold the purse strings?
As for Jubilee don't throw it away. One day someone will come to their senses.

DSR Michael Shayne, you read the post incorrectly. She is not the "head of am organization like Encores!" She is the general director, CEO, or some such title, of City Center. She is where the buck stops, I gather, for anything occurring at City Center.
-
Let's just all dance right through Monday.

City Center needs one or more of the following:
1. Vibes
2. Witchcraft
3. An enema
Shall we put it to a vote?

Larry, as you know - some of the higher-ups at that organization can be punitive, even to people outside their organization who question them. So be careful - although my impression of Ms. S from having both heard her and met her is that she is as caring a head of a non-profit as can be, especially about the public and the need to serve the community. I'd bet her feeling is more like that if she's never heard of the show, spending hundreds of thousands on doing it would not be at all popular with the typical donor or subscriber.

If we're voting, since I have to leave soon to the office and can't check in form there - i vote strongly in favor of Ms. S. I have a sinking feeling I'll be the only one here voting that way. :)

Good morning, all.

TOD: DR Mike beat me to posting "Charlie's Place" and Vixmom got "We'll Take a Glass Together," so here's another favorite, "I Had a Ball." Onna White's choreography, Karen Morrow's roof-raising voice and one of the silliest songs ever, if you listen to the lyrics. And it doesn't matter:

I wish to make it very clear that I blame Encores! not at all, and that I am very grateful that Encores! essentailly saved my life and kept me working this past December to May. I am very grateful to my friends there, and I believe they are all aware of the various and sundry reasons I would like to a concert of JUBILEE. As I said, the word that's got back to me from people of the advisory board is that there are several shows that the lady ion charge of City Center has shot down since she doesn't know them. Perhaps that will change but I'm running out of time.
-
And greetings from
Encores! Toyland! Spoo!!!

Monday morning greetings! It's amazing what a good night's sleep can do! Richard and I just cleaned up our kitchen and I'm doing a little puttering before getting ready to visit Mom and deliver some party leftovers to her. I have cake and cookies from the birthday party and baked beans from the cookout.

DR ELMORE continue copying JUBILEE.....you may need it....and it will be good to have. Where are Cole Porter's papers? Are they at Indiana University? If nothing else, it may find a good home there.
-
I enjoyed the dance video in the notes and all of the subsequent videos here.
I was late getting here this morning because I had to do the weekly shopping....and I am still working on lines. I hope to be off book for my first rehearsal tonight.

Here is a nice video of THREE MAMES doing the title song.

Actually, I think his papers are at Yale.

Both nice places......DR ELMORE. Don't let it go yet. I always figure until I'm dead, there's a chance. That's why I have shelves full of books and scripts.

I love Antenna TV and Cosi TV and THIS Tv.....our Comcast service carries all three. They are NOT HD channels, so sometimes you have to look at the LOW numbers to find them.

That's sort of what keeps me from diving off the roof: maybe the ticket I didn't check won the lottery, maybe the phone will ring the minute I've hit the pavement, maybe the postman will show up with the sale papers on the Ohio property after I'm dead. It's what keeps me going during the blackest days, but somedays I worry I'll lose that optimism.

We get Cosi TV with Channel 4 (NBC) and This TV with Channel 11. We are about to get 2 new channels Escape TV and Grit TV. They are on the screen in beta test mode right now on Channel 68, a local broadcast station which usually has Spanish content but they recently added "Get TV" which shows many older movies and some more current but all cut up for commercials.
We also get Bounce TV on another local station Channel 9 WWOR
No one in NYC has picked up Retro TV or Me-TV for OTA broadcasting

THE END OF MOVIE THEATERS?
I just found this FORBES article on-line. I'm no psychic, but I've been predicting something like this would happen for years.
Netflix is working mightily to expand its reach worldwide, so far including Latin America, Canada, and the U.K., with Europe next up at bat. When Netflix is done, people in every part of the world will be its customers, and those customers will be able to toggle what language they want to watch a film in. This trend corresponds to the shrinking of the piracy window (the time between the theatrical window and the home video window), so by the time Netflix has a worldwide reach, it will also probably be available day and date with the theatrical release.
This trend will have a huge effect on how independent films are financed. Right now, independent filmmakers raise funds by selling their films through “pre-sales” on a country-by-country basis to local distributors, but a worldwide VOD reach will rip the heart out of these sales, because it will destroy the value of DVD and pay TV rights to the local distributors. The net result will be that independent films will be financed by pre-sales to Netflix, not the local distributors. Instead of going to the Cannes Film Festival, filmmakers could be going to Las Vegas for a digital convention in order to pre-sell VOD rights to Netflix. Indeed, Netflix will likely expand from creating original series to creating its own large budget films, with the initial premiere on-line. Netflix may be a vibrant, important source of new financing that disrupts the studio system and bypasses standard distribution channels.
This trend will also change how films are watched and how theaters compete. In order to compete against collapsing windows and high-def, surround-sound, home entertainment centers, theaters are going to have to offer a better experience, and a big part of this is going to be 4D seats, which move to match the film (where you feel like you are flying when a jet is onscreen), and 3D sound, which seems to come from different angles at different times around you, like raindrops falling near you. I have experienced both of these, and the results are astounding. Theaters are going to have to get on this bandwagon or be relegated to bowling alley locations.
-
4D seats, the thought alone makes me motion sick. I hope it doesn't feel like being in a plane.

BIG NEWS in the Indianapolis Television Market:
WISH-TV, Channel 8 - which has been a CBS affiliate since 1956 (it carried CBS and NBC programs the local affiliates of those networks declined to carry in the early 1950's)....will lose that affiliation in January 1, 2015, when CBS moves to WTTV, Channel 4.
Channel 4 was locally owned for decades and had studios in Bloomington and Indianapolis....then the Sarkes Tarzian family sold the station and there is almost NO local programming broadcast by WTTV.....in the fifties there were several children's programs, local sports casts, and local variety shows on Channel 4.
So WISH TV Channel 8 will have NO network affiliation. The CW which is now broadcast on WTTV Channel 4 will move to Channel 4.2.
Of course WTTV and WTHR Channel 59, the local Fox Network station are owned by the same corporation, so who knows what will happen there....

I can see it happening, but I also enjoyed being part of a close-to-full house Sunday for "The Hundred-Foot Journey." Yes, the woman next to me would not stop talking or commenting on every action, but it was good to be with other people for the shared experience.

This printing job is 83% finished. It's been running since 11:15!
Oy.

Some of the official scuttlebutt:
On Monday, August 11, 2014, it was announced that WISH would be losing it's CBS affiliation of 58 years to Tribune Media's CW-affiliated WTTV, after Tribune and CBS made a new affiliation agreement that would begin on January 1, 2015. This deal is reportedly a result of WISH balking at CBS' demands for reverse retransmission consent compensation from their affiliates. This is the second time in Indianapolis television history that WTTV took an affiliation from WISH, the first being ABC in 1956. It's being reported, that WISH, will revert to Independent status, on January 1st, 2015. The same day WTTV will join CBS.

I determined that we get Antenna TV on our cable system, so I tuned in earlier and encountered this fellow on The Patty Duke Show:
(http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a532/singdaw1/murrayrose_zps17fe1721.jpg)
He is Murray Rose, an Australian who won four Olympic gold medal in swimming before becoming an actor.

He's like this guy Richard Tyler, who started on Broadway, and was a child actor in movies.....he played the boy who boxed with Ingrid Bergman in THE BELLS OF ST MARY'S.
You can see him when COZI Tv reruns the sixth season of The Danny Thomas Show (they just started with Season Four....the widower season) when he plays Buck the high school boyfriend of Gina Minelli (Annette Funicello) on her six episode arc of the show.

Mr. Rose died a couple of years ago at age 73 (born in 1939)
If you ever happen to find the Tonight Show, April 3, 1971, you might see this fellow, also the winner of four Gold Medals in Olympic swimming:

The weather page I've been following on Facebook is a for profit page. It is written to keep people liking it, which I do, and interested. The current news report made me laugh "Storms are just EXPLODING now to the southeast of us". The storms are probably exploding and I do hope they stay away from us, but he certainly wants to keep our attention.
Last nights storms were in Central Oregon and left us alone. These current ones are currently moving away from us :)

Oh, dear, I haven't been sitting here like so much fish all afternoon, just forgot to log out when I left to see Mom. She's pretty perky today and now knows that we're going to France next month.
-
DR Ginny - I know it's difficult, but I hope that the stress of that situation will not hinder your enjoyment of your trip in any way.
-
the holy part is apt.
It wholly is.

Monday morning greetings! It's amazing what a good night's sleep can do! Richard and I just cleaned up our kitchen and I'm doing a little puttering before getting ready to visit Mom and deliver some party leftovers to her. I have cake and cookies from the birthday party and baked beans from the cookout.
Ginny I have only ever had baked beans from a can ( or when really flush: a jar!!!) do you have a recipe that you would care to share for homemade baked beans?

I determined that we get Antenna TV on our cable system, so I tuned in earlier and encountered this fellow on The Patty Duke Show:

He is Murray Rose, an Australian who won four Olympic gold medal in swimming before becoming an actor.
I would assume MBarnum could fill in many details about his career.
at the very least

Sad news about Robin Williams...

OMG! CBS News just reported Robin Williams is dead.
Someone here at work just found out and mentioned it. :( Here are a couple of articles:

This makes me so very sad

I know.

I should have thought to close the umbrella on the deck when the wind began to blow. Too late now. The table and umbrella toppled over. We are not going out in the storm to fix them.

Sixty-three years of age. Unreal, man.
I wish he had done some more serious roles.

He did an episode of Law and Order where he played a husband whose wife was killed in front of his family by a mugger
heart breaking

I agree.

and his role in Moscow on the Hudson was always a favorite

So sad about Robin Williams.

Mrs. Doubtfire is one of my favorites.

I wonder if the sequel will be made now.

Hello, everyone.

In the midst of such sad news I'll post a truly heartwarming story out of the UK about a young boy and a remarkable surgery.

R.I.P. Robin Williams
-
Been on the phone for most of the afternoon - that's how I learned about Robin Wiliams. It's all over Facebook now, of course, with the usual posts that are more about the people making them than Mr. Williams. Suicide is difficult for people to comprehend. I have come to understand it and those who've read my first memoir will know why - if that's the way people need to finally be at peace, then all we can do is try to understand it from that perspective. He was a very funny man and apparently a very nice person. I ran into him at TV auditions back before he got Mork and Mindy.
-
Very sad.
-
The rain eased up and Keith has picked up the mess that fell. There were gardening tools, etc on the table that fell.
UPS then arrived with a delivery. As Keith was walking back into the house with the box (we usually walk out to get our packages) there was a big flash of lightening.
We briefly lost power. I hope we don't lose it again.

Accuweather says we are currently having a thunderstorm. I should look out the window and see.
-
Uh, nope.
-
And i am home, thank God! This was too long a day.
I resemble that remark
-
Druxy, I shouldn't worry too much about it - they've been predicting the end of movie theaters since TV began.
I'm not worried. I haven't been in a movie theater since the end of 2012.
I was in one two days ago
-
I liked Robin Williams in "Hook." I'm not sure I saw him in any other movies.
-
I liked Robin Williams in about everything he was in.

I really liked him in Awakenings.
-
and The Birdcage
-
I'm trying to remember the last time I was in a movie theater. I took the kids to see Aladdin, I believe.
-
and Patch Adams
-
Insomnia...now that was a serious role
-
To me there is nothing quite like a movie theater. I love it when no one is sitting right next to me and I'm in the darkness and can just let myself be taken away by the film, That doesn't happen on the tv in the living room
-
I grew up knowing first hand the fear when someone you love attempts or commits suicide. It also teaches you to think that suicide is the way out when life is difficult. I comprehend it too well, I simply cannot accept it. The pain it leaves behind is too great.
I've also know many people who almost succeeded and then found a way to live happy lives.
-
I am suddenly thinking of the Williams movie "What Dreams May Come" about a man searching the afterlife for his wife. He has gone to Heaven but his wife was in limbo having committed suicide.
I found it extremely depressing. I was on the phone with my sister when she was going through chemo and her boyfriend had rented the movie to watch. First I told her not to watch it and then had her put him on the phone. He had already seen the movie and kept saying "it has a happy ending". The next day my sister called me back and said they had to turn it off she got so depressed.
-
We briefly lost power again. I'm going to shut my computer off for awhile.
-
"Centennial Summer" and "Won Ton Ton/Oh Dad" have arrived!
-
Very sad news about Robin Williams. I think Popeye was my favorite. I also really liked him in Garp.
I would have liked to have seen his "Godot" with Steve Martin.
-
I've started watching "Le Week-end" with Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan. Beautifully acted, even if some of their bickering cuts a little too deep.
I know from the previews that they reenact the Madison from Band of Outsiders (Bande a Part), which is one of my favorite scenes of all in films.
It fits in with the TOD, so here's a link:

Well, it's time for me to leave work and (eventually) go home. I need to get some kitty litter. I got some on Friday or Saturday at Fred Meyer, but they only had one bag left of the kind that I get. I always like to have an extra so when the one bag is empty, I'm not really out.
So, be back later!

Little Old New York from Tenderloin. Chita and fun.

Kitty littler is not something you ever want to be without.

Enjoyed "Le Week-End," but I think what I like better is that there's a 3-minute lesson in the extras in which they teach you how to do the Madison just like in "Bande a Part."

It is good to have for traction for your car in the snow.

Page six? Really?

I have to keep signing off and then signing back on because the Oregon lightening storm has spread into Western Washington.

A very sad day.
The demons won a battle today, but they will never win the war.

Watched two interesting documentaries tonight, one about Polaroid and one about AT&T and how they ruined many things for this country and especially for one genius inventor. It's making me seriously think about switching to Verizon, although I know that today's AT&T is not yesterday's.

I've heard that, but I've never done that.
