Post by: bk on February 24, 2015, 05:09:27 AM: Here's the blurb for Stormy Weather - live in about fifty minutes.

Kritzerland is proud to present a new limited edition soundtrack release – a landmark soundtrack to a classic film musical, presented complete for the first time on two CDs for a one-CD price:

STORMY WEATHER

Stormy Weather, Twentieth Century Fox’s lavish 1943 film musical was really a groundbreaking, courageous production. With its all-black cast, and scintillating vaudeville style, the film eschewed plot for song-and-dance extravagance. The list of talent was and is truly mind-boggling: Lena Horne, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, Cab Calloway, “Fats” Waller, Ada Brown, Dooley Wilson, The Nicholas Brothers, Babe Wallace, Mae Johnson, Katherine Dunham and her beautiful dance troupe and many others. Critics and audiences alike were stunned and delighted by the sheer parade of non-stop musical excellence. In fact, the film’s brief running time of less than eighty minutes contains over seventy minutes of music. Lena Horne’s ethereal, gorgeous voice lends an unforgettable purity to her renditions of “There’s No Two Ways About Love” and the title song, “Stormy Weather.” The inimitable “Fats” Waller delivers the definitive “Ain’t Misbehavin’” and a superb duet with Ada Brown called “That Ain’t Right.” Cab Calloway sashays and cavorts through “Geechy Joe” and “Jumpin’ Jive.” Bill Robinson bends the mind with his agility at age 65, and Mae Johnson does a great “I Lost My Sugar in Salt Lake City.”

Stormy Weather was originally released on CD back in 1993 by Arista Records, and has long been out-of-print. That release was not complete, but did contain a few fun bonus tracks. For this new, definitive release, we’ve got it all – all the songs (here full length as recorded, where they were frequently edited in the film), all the incidental music (save for one seven-second bit of scoring for which an overlay couldn’t be found), and in addition to the previously found additional material, we’ve unearthed four more songs that were recorded for but not used in the film. CD 1 contains the complete film soundtrack of around seventy-seven minutes’ duration. CD 2 contains all the bonus material. The sound is excellent mono, and this is an album every serious film score collector will want, and an album that any musical theatre aficionado will need to have, as well as any fan of some of the greatest entertainers show business ever had. We’re releasing this in conjunction with the new Twilight Time Blu-ray of the film, which we recommend highly.

The world will never see the like of these performers or this kind of music again. So celebrate the glory that is Stormy Weather on this great new two-CD set. You’ll be tappin’ your toes and hummin’ along for sure.

Stormy Weather is limited to 1000 copies only and the two-CD set is priced at $19.98, plus shipping. CDs will ship by the second week of April. However, never fear – on average we usually ship two to four weeks ahead of the official ship date. To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

Title: Re: THE TRUTH ABOUT FEBRUARY
Post by: ChasSmith on February 24, 2015, 05:27:04 AM: Stew Leonard's, the local chain of groceries, has turkey and stuffing and mashed and [something I forget] and gravy and cranberries in its hot takeout section every day of the year. And while I wouldn't like to prepare a true Thanksgiving style turkey dinner more than once or twice a year, having this takeout when the mood strikes can be unbeatable and is so very delicious.

I am happy to report that, thanks to this job, when I am paid for my last invoice on this around March 12, I will be caught up on my February bills. It was that damned property tax that did me in. God knows what's paying March's yet. Oy!

DR Ginny, I did receive my copy of The Miamian yesterday, but if you don't mind sending your copy, I'll pass it on to Rob, since he's mentioned in it.

Today, I will begin my income tax work for my appointment next Tuesday. I will also do the laundry and get a new battery for my watch. When I woke at 8:45, my watch told me it was 6:15, and I was late to dinner last night because of the damned battery, so out with old. And speaking of dinner, here I am last night with my lovely leading lady Annalene.

For the most part the cast (of celebs) was not too interesting. But there was one reveal that had me so excited.

All of the pro dancers had already been revealed but two. After they announced the "stars" they cut to New York. I was sort of down because the cast did not really feature anyone I knew (yes there were obviously a few older/more famous people that I knew). But nobody too exciting to me who I feel would have the potential to win. And then they announced that my most favorite pro dancer (who was not going to be doing this season) was able to find a way to do the season. I am so happy. Derek Hough will be on season 20.

Why are they having Michael Sam dance with a female partner? They are plenty of gay dancing competitions in which the partners are same sex? Heck, tango's origins include many men dancing with men.

Musical direction was by Harold Hastings. Dance arrangements by Jack Elliott. That Berkman credit isn't on the original LP (though the solo violinist is credited there, and not on the CD). And I don't find SHE LOVES ME listed among Mr. Berkman's credits on IBDB.

Curious! (Paging DR Elmore?)

DR ChasSmith, here's Berkman's credit from the original production of PIPPIN. Perhaps Hastings was unavailable to conduct the recording sessions and Berkman subbed for him?

Post by: ChasSmith on February 24, 2015, 11:39:08 AM: Oh. My. God.

Yep, that's what I said -- OUT LOUD -- when I put on the original LP of She Loves Me. It's beautiful! Last night I was shocked, shocked, at the harsh sounds of the CD, and I feared that I'd find that was just the way the recording has always been. Not so. The vinyl actually has a low end, a beautiful full stereo spread, and is about a hundred times more musical in all respects. Even the orchestra is beautiful. Regardless of which gentleman was waving the stick that day.

I put the CD back in, synced them up, made sure the volume was equalized between the two sources, and went back and forth, amazed. Granted, this was an early (1988) CD. And the record album was allotted two (count 'em) LPs -- four sides -- so MGM must have been on spectacularly good behavior in laying some nice grooves for this one. Still, the difference between the 1963 LP and the 1988 CD is shocking.

So... Who wants a free CD? :D

I haven't looked, but I wonder if it's been reissued and improved since then.

Well it looks like he got the best partner. She was a gymnast.

I don't get why some people dislike Derek. He is by far my favorite pro dancer. He is brilliantly talented. I guess I understand why people don't want the same pro to win every year. But he is the best. That is why he wins. I was practically jumping up and down when he was announced. I was so sad that he was going to be sitting out this season.

And too much of the score is missing, after you get spoiled by the other two albums (original and BK's). Anyhoo, back to BK's now, and to trying to improve the sound of my contribution a little bit.

"She also went on to have concert success, toured for years with Liberace, and hosted Boomerang, a popular children's television show in Seattle. (A son, Andrew Gold, who died in 2011, was a recording star in his own right, with the hit single Lonely Boy and the theme to TV's Golden Girls, Thank You for Being a Friend)."

My cousin had an older brother that wasn't close to the family. I didn't see him very often, though I did speak to him on the phone, and hadn't met his children. Two of them were at the service and, since they were sitting in the "reserved for family" section across from us, I made a beeline to them immediately following the service. They are very nice and I returned home to find a facebook friend request from one of them.

They announced the new cast of Dancing With The Stars this morning.

For the most part the cast (of celebs) was not too interesting. But there was one reveal that had me so excited.

All of the pro dancers had already been revealed but two. After they announced the "stars" they cut to New York. I was sort of down because the cast did not really feature anyone I knew (yes there were obviously a few older/more famous people that I knew). But nobody too exciting to me who I feel would have the potential to win. And then they announced that my most favorite pro dancer (who was not going to be doing this season) was able to find a way to do the season. I am so happy. Derek Hough will be on season 20.

Why are they having Michael Sam dance with a female partner? They are plenty of gay dancing competitions in which the partners are same sex? Heck, tango's origins include many men dancing with men.

Middle America, John...middle America. ::)

How strange.

Good mornin, allQ This is my first day to myself now that Paint Your Wagon is ready for the reading on Friday, and i slept late, and vry nicely. I am happy to report that, thanks to this job, when I am paid for my last invoice on this around March 12, I will be caught up on my February bills. It was that damned property tax that did me in. God knows what's paying March's yet. Oy!

DR Ginny, I did receive my copy of The Miamian yesterday, but if you don't mind sending your copy, I'll pass it on to Rob, since he's mentioned in it.

Today, I will begin my income tax work for my appointment next Tuesday. I will also do the laundry and get a new battery for my watch. When I woke at 8:45, my watch told me it was 6:15, and I was late to dinner last night because of the damned battery, so out with old. And speaking of dinner, here I am last night with my lovely leading lady Annalene.

That is a lovely photo Elmore!

I had loved the original, Pepe Le Moko, so I stayed away from the Hollywood version, but I'm really getting into Charles Boyer's performance, the James M. Cain touch on the script is great, and the camera work is great. Even the way the camera lingers over Hedy Lamar's face is wonderful (as is her face, needless to say). Wish I hadn't waited so long to see this.

However, after all is said and done, the award for Best Post goes to vixmom:

I'm unhappy about Derek Hough dancing in the DWTS season, too. Now I HAVE to watch. Derek is the best dancer on the show, bar none. Of course, if his partner is a dud, it won't matter. His partner's last name, IIRC, is Liunka.

I don't know what a Liunka is. Have never seen the name before this morning.

Don't associate with anything.

I touched Derek's hand twice when I saw them in Sioux City, lol.

They announced the new cast of Dancing With The Stars this morning.

For the most part the cast (of celebs) was not too interesting. But there was one reveal that had me so excited.

All of the pro dancers had already been revealed but two. After they announced the "stars" they cut to New York. I was sort of down because the cast did not really feature anyone I knew (yes there were obviously a few older/more famous people that I knew). But nobody too exciting to me who I feel would have the potential to win. And then they announced that my most favorite pro dancer (who was not going to be doing this season) was able to find a way to do the season. I am so happy. Derek Hough will be on season 20.

Why are they having Michael Sam dance with a female partner? They are plenty of gay dancing competitions in which the partners are same sex? Heck, tango's origins include many men dancing with men.

Middle America, John...middle America. ::)

Who did Chas Bono dance with?

a female, can't remember who

2. BK may have fallen and cannot get up.
3. BK may have gone to hospital.

Post by: Druxy on February 25, 2015, 08:10:42 AM: I just tried to reach BK on both his home phone and his cell. Got the answering machine.

If I don't hear from him or if he doesn't post in a few minutes, I will try to find somebody who lives close to check on him.
