Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a little bit October and a little bit country, and now it is time for you to post until the October country cows come home.

Good morning, all! Today I must head down to Toyland, accomplish what I need, and get home quickly as possible.  Yesterday, I worked on the Paint Your Wagon overture, and I'll begin the opening number when I get home.  Joshie sent me an email asking if I wanted to see On The Town with him tonight, and I think I will say yes. I really want to see it, and this may be my only chance.

I am very curious about Sting's The Last Ship. My friend Peter Foley is helping Sting with the score, and I really love the bit of music in the TV commercial.

And I am off to Toyland.

BK,

Since you brought up the subject of ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA, one of my favorite gangster movies, what is your take on the film's controversial ending?

POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD




Is the whole movie a dream?

Or, is that final shot of DeNiro a remembrance of happier days past?


BTW: I've seen the restored scenes on YouTube, and I really don't think they add anything significant to the story.

Saw Once Upon a Time in America on the day it was released and loved it. Saw the butchered version on cable and couldn't believe how they had desecrated such a fine movie.

Continuing the saga of my press release:  I posted yesterday on the paper's Facebook page and my own complaining about the disclaimer.  On their page, they responded with an email address to send it directly to the newsroom for Butler County (it's a Dayton-based conglomerate).  This morning I received this email from Amy in the Butler County newsroom:

Virginia,
Thank you for your submitted event. I have it scheduled to run in tomorrow’s special Middletown page.

YAY!!!

Very nice.  Too bad a recording wasn't released, even if the movie wasn't made.  I wonder if that might still be a possibility...it could be billed as a "studio cast recording."

The thyroid doctor will call me tomorrow to discuss "a plan of care" as the phone message said today.

I am wondering what that means. Is it better than I thought it would be or worse? I will be anxious to hear what he has to say.

It means the doctor was busy today, or at least busy the rest of the day after you received the message.  Were you given a time to be available?  Good or bad I think it is the doctor who needs to discuss the results with you.

Good luck with the thyroid results and the new MRI!

I had a great hike this morning with my group on this beautiful day.  We have a new hiker who was there with her dog.  I was thrilled as the dog is a Bernese Mountain Dog named Casey that was friends with Sherlock.  They were pups together and Casey is now 8 and as sweet as ever.  It was also bittersweet.  As I was leaving I told the woman to say hello to her husband and found out he died last year. :(

Hi Dear Readers -- Hope You All Had A Nice Day!

OY, did my day start out crazy -- there was a mouse in my office!  I was working on a bank reconciliation and I see something move from my peripheral vision.  I take a double take. 

OMG, it's a mouse.  A HUGE mouse -- okay, not really huge, but even a tiny mouse is a MOUSE!  Three grown men were unable to catch said mouse.  So, now I have four mouse traps laced with peanut butter in my small office.

BTW, I did have my feet high up off the ground all day!  I so wanted to get up on a chair and scream like a school girl!  LOL

After that escapade -- I could go for a cup of chocolate peanut butter ice cream!  :D

Now, to catch up on all the notes!

Haven't heard the whole new And the World Goes Round CD yet, but what I have listened to so far sounds fantastic. I listened to the original first to refresh my memory. So far, I like the new recording much better.

I didn't think to bring out my original recording, but I'm listening to the new recording right now! :D

I just realized that it's been quite a while since I listened to the original.  I love these songs...and the new ones!  Thanks for recording the whole score, BK...AND the play-offs!!

I now wish I had the original recording here, to listen to first to refresh my memory, then enjoy BK's all the more when it arrives.  But I think now I had only a borrowed copy for a while, which I long ago returned.  And I don't really feel like buying it again right now.

I'm back from GONE WITH THE WIND.  My friends and I had already agreed that we would probably only stay to enjoy "Act 1" on the big screen, then split.  (We'd all watched it straight through just a few months ago.)  And that's what we did. 

It was very enjoyable, but my one criticism about these vintage movie showings is that -- as good as the picture (usually) looks -- they need to crank their volume settings way up from the normal ones which are set for today's bullsh action/sci-fi movies.  I felt this especially when seeing WHITE CHRISTMAS there, and I absolutely guarantee you that GWTW would have a greater impact -- in a good way -- with a sound level as filling and satisfying as the picture is.

I've spoken to my friend the manager there about this in the past, and while he sort of gets it and has adjusted it upward a little bit at times ..... he doesn't totally get it.  Not yet.  I'll keep working on it.

Don't feel the need to return to the original cast. I wasn't thrilled with all of the voices on it.

And, as KevinH and TCB would point out, no Brent Barrett.

Starting to watch "John Carter," which I think will be fun, despite the reception it received when it played theaters.

I had enjoyed the Burroughs books, and while this will be tame (it is Disney), the beginning is fun and true to the first novel.

I will certainly tell the major part of it, just not in the notes, but right here on this discussion board.

So, today I got the liner notes and track stuff done for one release.  But the release I'd already done the notes and track stuff for suddenly had to change directions - it's a multi-score album and they just found a lot more cues for two of the films - so, we now are pulling those two titles from the album and replacing them with two others.  Hopefully, they'll let me know which two will fit and then I can adjust the notes quickly, but that's going to take a couple of weeks.  So, I put another score on the fast track and I've just done the edit road map for that and the track listing and will, heaven help me, try to get those notes done tonight.

i finally found one thing I was looking for.  My nieces needed some postcards of Vancouver.  I used to collect postcards (trade them) and i have a lot. But unfortunately there are things on top of the postcard boxes. Luckily after a short time looking i found the box with the Vancouver ones.

Also, it is great to have all the songs that got left off the original album. I think the flow of the recording is much the better for having them included.

I love the medleys where all the songs combine at the end. That's David Loud's work, and he has made a kind of specialty out of that kind of arrangement. They are always special.

Jason on "Marry Me" made me forget Jason Alexander. Hard thing to do, as his performance in the original "Rink" is indelibly etched on the brain.

Kyra knocks And the World Goes Round out of the ballpark.
Title: Re: THE OCTOBER COUNTRY
Post by: bk on October 01, 2014, 08:37:22 PM
Well, nothing was easy about the recording due to the fact that the original horns were not up to the task.  They didn't want to listen to me and I warned them what would happen if I didn't hire my top guys.  And it happened just as I said.  The Shoes dance was the last thing recorded and I honestly didn't think it would ever make the album.  But, after I did the initial mix, we brought in my guys and redid the horns on two-thirds of the album, and they actually managed to get through the Shoes Dance and save it.  They did a great job and that's why the album sounds so good.  I simply would not have issued it with the other players.

Kyra is AMAZING.  She's hilarious on Grass Is Always Greener with Christiane.  I loved working with everyone, but Kyra was new to me and we just got along great and she was so easy to work with.  Trying to get her to do the December Kritzerland show.

He doesn't.  This musical director took several solos in the production he did, and that was part of the deal of this recording, although I limited it to only about three or four things - it was considerably more and I refused - he originally had the opening number.  Mr. Kander gave his permission to do the three or four little things he does.
