Well, you've read the notes, the notes celebrated our 50th show, and now it is time for you to post until the fifty cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: OBLOQUY!
-
BK, congrats on the successful show...yet again!
-
Glad the show went well! Sounds like the audience had a great time.
-
Loved the photos, as well.
-
Sounds like a wonderful show BK - happy 50th! Now on to NY and 51!
-
I don't know if I ever answered your Jerry Herman TOD so backtracking to that - All of La Cage ... but particularly Song on the Sand and The Best of Times is Now and I Am Who I Am
-
Good morning.
-
Glad to hear the show went well!
-
and back to TODAY's TOD....
not really a 'fad' but I would like to go back to a trend where people dressed for the occasion: wore their "Sunday best" to church, to the theatre, to a dinner out... nowadays it appears that most people feel that old denims and Tshirts with any old saying, vulgar or not, are appropriate attire no matter where you happen to be.
-
TOD part Two... having been dress shopping for the upcoming wedding .... and having seen parts of myself in the tri view mirror that I normally cannot see, I would like to see a return to hoop skirts...
or at least bustle skirts.... I wouldn't even have to buy a bustle
-
Laura! Congratulations to Wae-Ling Goldstein!! That is a joy, indeed. It seems you certainly knew what you were doing when you placed a camera in that girl's hands.
-
Well I must start my day - so Vibes to all what needs 'em
-
Good morning, all!
I have physical therapy this morning, and I will go from there to City Center for more PAINT YOUR WAGON scores,visit a bit with Joshie, and head home. I have no $20 to do last me till the end of the week, so I'm moving as little as possible. I need to find a millionaire singer who wants some orchestrations and arrangements.
-

Thank you, DR vixmom! I did not get out yesterday much, only a trip to market for some lactose-free milk.
I slept poorly last night: the heat has been turned on in the building, which is ridiculous, since it isn't that chilly outside yet, but it's too warm in this apartment. I turned off the radiator, but it's doing nothing to cool things down.
-
good morning to all
-
tod
Pet Rocks because mine ran away from home.
-
Good Morning. Glad to hear the show went so well!
-
Good morning, all.
Had a pretty decent sleep. Probably got about eight hours, and I hate to say it but that's way better than normal. And thus begins my four days off from the show, during which I must relax, but also get many many things done around the place, both inside and out.

I'm up, I've announced and I'm sure I'll go back to bed shortly. Meantime, here's the proper blurb for Rio Conchos.
Kritzerland is proud to present a new limited edition soundtrack:
RIO CONCHOS
Music Composed and Conducted by Jerry Goldsmith
In 1964, Twentieth Century-Fox released a widescreen western called Rio Conchos. The film was an “A” production with a strong cast, including Richard Boone, Stuart Whitman, Jim Brown, Tony Franciosa and the great Edmond O’Brien. The film was hard-edged, fast-paced and action-packed, but with strong characters and a story that kept you involved from start to finish.
By the time of Rio Conchos, composer Jerry Goldsmith was well on his way to becoming one of the busiest of the then-new composers scoring films. He’d already done great work for television, scoring several memorable and classic Playhouse 90, Twilight Zone and Thriller episodes among many others, including his wonderful theme and occasional score for Dr. Kildare.
His film career had really taken off quickly and in a big way in the early 1960s. Before Rio Conchos Goldsmith had really only scored one western film, his very first feature film score, the 1957 film Black Patch. He’d scored a few western TV episodes from Wagon Train, Gunsmoke, Rawhide and Have Gun – Will Travel and he’d also scored Lonely Are the Brave, which could be considered a modern-day western of sorts.
But with Rio Conchos, Goldsmith immediately showed that he could score westerns with the best of them and it began a long and fruitful association with Twentieth Century-Fox. He would, of course, go on to score many other notable westerns, including Stagecoach, Hour of the Gun, Bandolero!, 100 Rifles, The Ballad of Cable Hogue, Rio Lobo, Wild Rovers and others. But his score for Rio Conchos remains high at the top of that great list – like the film, his score is hard-edged, fast-paced and action-packed, with a memorable main theme that is one of his best.
The original soundtrack was previously released on Film Score Monthly, with the entire score presented in mono with a handful of stereo cues, the only stereo that could, at that time, be saved due to extreme wow and flutter. But thanks to new technologies that have emerged in the last couple of years, Mike Matessino was able to go back to the original elements and perform a miracle of a stereo restoration for the entire score except for three cues – those three cues are presented so seamlessly you might not even be aware they are mono. The sound is amazing and really shows off Goldsmith’s superb score in the best possible way.
Rio Conchos is limited to 1200 copies only and priced at $19.98, plus shipping. CDs will ship by the third week of November, but we’ve been averaging three to five weeks early in terms of shipping ahead of the official ship date. To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

Sounds good. Ordered.

Good morning, all.
Congratulations to Wae-Ling. great news.

Yesterday was too busy. Three hours of dance practice after church. Then I ushered for a three-hour Christian rap concert featuring someone named Lecrae. Not my kind of music, but the show was sold out and no one had volunteered to usher for it. We were understaffed and one of the ushers just up and left without checking out. The music was loud and people were complaining about it being too low. Despite the volume, I fell asleep a couple of times.
-
Monday morning greetings! Finally feeling some improvement in my back...
-
Today I'm working with Suzy on the AAUW newsletter for October and getting ready to go to the grocery. It's kind of cold and drizzly - more like late October than early.
-
BK, congratulations on a successful 50th show - Richard and I are so looking forward to the shows in New York next month!
I listened to Donald's show last night and the first disc of And the World Goes Round - loved both!
-
Congratulations to Wae-Ling!
-
Let's...

Congrats to MR BK & Co. I loved the notes and photos...and the photos on BookFace.
-
Congrats also to photographer Wae-Ling Goldstein....and her muse DR LAURA.
-
CD ordered.
Took sister Molly to Aldi's this morning where we grocery shopped. I got $144 worth of staples that probably would have cost me $50 more at my regular store.....
Since I won some money last week, I am taking Molly shopping this afternoon for a new dress and shoes to wear to the wedding this weekend - but I may just find something for myself as well.
-
I agree with DR VIXMOM....the "fad" of dressing up would be nice.
-
Some Jerry Goldwsmith - in stereo - is ALWAYS worthwhile!

I Thought it was EXCELLENT But was a little confused with the ending!!!
-
I also watched DRIVING MISS DAISY again.
I always get teery eyed at the ending.
I LOVE this movie!!!
-
I am currently reading THE QUEEN'S FOOL by Philippa Gregory. I am really enjoying it.
I am starting to really like historical fiction.
I picked it up along with THE CONSTANT PRINCESS also by Philippa Gregory at the library for twenty five cents.
-
I also picked up PHILOMENA for twenty-five cents.
For a dollar I purchased FIGURES IN SILK,by Vanora Bennett.
I'm stocking up for the long winter months. I just love to read.
Have any DR"S read these?
-
Yes, I also agree with VIX'SMOM.
The art of dressing up has unfortunately FADED AWAY.

Goodbye for now :-* :-* :-*

He was 84. I think I first heard of him from the 7-Up commercials, then in "Doctor Dolittle."

Nope not programs DR CHAS SMITH.....pantry staples.....although I am still using the hand stapler that I found in my desk when I went to work at the Indiana School for the Deaf, and nobody knew whose it was....so it's mine now.....28 years later.....I took it with me to the Society of Professional Journalists and then to the Indiana Dept. Of Labor.

Glad to hear that, DR JRand! The long-abandoned Dillard's store in our pitiful mall is being transformed into a Burlington Coat Factory.

Roberta (http://www.newworldrecords.org/album.cgi?rm=view&album_id=92994) has arrived, direct from New World Records, as well as the new 2014 Miss Saigon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00N3B8YY2) (but I got that from Amazon.co.uk)!
-
"Miss Saigon" has a "Parental Advisory Explicit Content" sticker. It's rare to see that on a musical cast recording.
-
My first time shopping there DR GINNY, and I enjoyed it very much. I even did the online survey and entered the sweepstakes for a $1000 shopping spree.

Yes, I ordered it directly from New World last week. They were pretty close in price when you took shipping or tax into consideration. :)

It can be found in the quotation below all of DR Laura's posts - always required reading, as it frequently changes, and is always entertaining! ;D

Popping in for quickie hello to all in the midst of my RAGTIME tech.
Congrats to BK and the cast of Kritzerland 50! Looks like it was a swell party for all. Sorry I had to miss it.
All the best to everyone here.
We preview RAGTIME this Friday night and open Saturday. A huge show with a huge cast and no time. Can you say "swamped"? We'll make it work, as we always do.
Ta-ta for now! :D
-
Congrats on the success of Kritzerland 50, BK!

I'm back to reality after my theatre-packed stay in New York. Paul and I saw 6 shows and I loved 4: Cabaret, Beautiful, A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder and On the Town. I liked It's Only a Play. Hedwig not so much ( but I did like a couple of songs). It's Only a Play had several big laughs but I sure didn't think it was as hilarious as many members of the audience.
-
A highlight was our visit with DR elmore, who regaled us with tales of his experiences with theatre-folk. He also graciously gave me a copy of Roberta, which I've started to listen to and love. Kim Criswell's accent is hilarious and Jason Graae sounds great as always.
-
DR ryacko---my friend Paul lives in Fullerton and mentioned that he'll be seeing Ragtime! I'll tell him you're in the cast!
-
Hey, did anyone know about this? THIS (http://culturebox.francetvinfo.fr/live/musique/les-parapluies-de-cherbourg-au-theatre-du-chatelet-186817) link is to a staged concert staging of "Les Parapluies de Cherbourg" (sung in French with no subtitles) at Théâtre du Châtelet. And Michel Legrand himself is conducting it. It looks like it'll be available until March 13, 2015. :D

I've decided to get a ticket for The Bandwagon at City Center. There are discount tickets at broadwaybox.com but they're only good for certain seats, including the first 3 rows, which are called "orchestra pit" seats. Does anyone have experience with them and know if the views are good?

Can't answer your question, DR KevinH, but wanted to tell you that Richard and I have tickets for Friday, November 14.

Have had a mostly lovely day - one piece of annoyance, but I'm just not letting it annoy me, frankly. I am done with these kinds of things annoying me. Have had a healthy day of orders for Rio Conchos - again, I wish we could sell more on the site itself, but the dealers have ordered really large quantities - but I don't see that dough for four weeks after we ship, which won't be for another two weeks.
-
Listening to Donald Feltham, BK and company!
-
DR elmore--I posted our photo on facebook and tried to do it here, but I can't figure it out! Maybe you can?

I am hoping that all of our East Coast denizens begin making their Kritzerland reservations - after all the folks asking for this to happen I would hate for it only to be the TWO people who've reserved so far.

Total Control! But what if everyone in the waiting room doesn't want to watch the Berner Channel?

I admit I had to return to DR Laura's post to see what the congratulations were about knowing I must have forgotten to read her quote.

I am fading fast. It has been an exhausting day.
I got to the doctor's lab at 8 a.m., got all the CT scans done by 10:30 and headed off to the office. I got a call just as I got to work that hey needed me to go back and have two of the scans done over again because they didn't come out right.
So, I finally got to work after 11 a.m., missed two meetings, but was in time for six more. Stayed a little late, but I'm just wasted.
Not even the adrenaline in "Crank 2" can wake me up.

The weird thing is that I did go to a post of hers and then I clicked on her name to view her last posts. But these posts do not show any quotations, hence why I was confused. It's harder to go back through individual posts. Whenever I want to see what someone said I always just view "last posts". Didn't work in this case.

Far more interesting than "Crank 2" is "The Mind of a Chef," the PBS series. I'm watching the season with Edward Lee, who was a contender on "Top Chef" before writing a great cookbook called "Smoke and Pickles."
Lee owns several restaurants in Louisville and he's coming to town this Friday for a cooking class that I'm going to. Should be fun.

Paul Revere, who sang with the Raiders, has died.
-
So has Marian Seldes.
-
And that's enough depressing news from me today.
Good night, all.
-
The "Nice Lady" is someone I met out hiking. She came to church with me one day and has been coming as often as she can. She convinced us to enter photos. Luckily, when Wae-Ling took a good photo, I renamed it with her name so I could keep track of which ones were hers.
-
Finished with my viewing and my viewing I'm finished.

Or vice versa.

Or versa vice.

I awoke at 12:30 and i cannot get back to sleep.
I had one encounter with Geoffrey Holder in 1973: Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival. Carmen de Lavillade was performing and he came to see herand their son Leo. Carmen was my date to a showing of the Pabst film Die Dreigroschenoper at Tanglewood.
I've known Marian Seldes for nearly 35 years. I hadn't seen her since I saw her backstage after the revival of Anouilh's Ring Round the Moon. I have a signed copy of her autobiography. Between 1981 and 1983, she would stop into Theatrebooks at 48th and Seventh to visit on matinee days of Deathtrap. As soon as her character was dead, she'd run out the stagedoor in full makeup and shop until it was time for the curtain call.
-
And now, I'm off to rehearsal. We open "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) [revised]" on Thursday! Tonight will be a complete run-through and hopefully all the sound cues will be finalized. Pray for Rosemary's Baby.
;)
Well, we had a pretty good run-through (just over 2 hours with the intermission), but it needs to be tightened up...and the sound cues aren't finalized. They're mostly done, but a few need to be swapped out. They're just not right, yet.
-
Now, I'm going to put together some pre-show and intermission music.
-
BK, I hope you don't mind that I'm using a few tracks from your "Shakespeare on Broadway" CD.
-
I also have the live recording of "The Shakespeare Revue" and Cleo Laine's "Wordsongs: The Poetry of William Shakespeare."
-
Paul Revere, who sang with the Raiders, has died.
I remember when I was in middle school and they came to our school and performed. I don't remember too much about it other than we all enjoyed it.
-
So has Marian Seldes.
I hadn't heard about her dying. That's too bad. :(
-
Safe travels, Vixmom!
~~~Ditto!!~~~
