Title: Re: TO ALL YOU FATHERS OUT THERE IN THE DARK
Post by: elmore3003 on June 21, 2015, 05:04:39 AM: I had a nightmare about a lady who is doing most of the music copying in New York these days. We were rather good friends between 1985 and 1995, but she's become an unpleasant lady to deal with as her work load grew. I did not enjoy my last job with her at all. I have no idea why she showed up in a dream.

The latest Broadway Radio Show is now up on the site for your listening pleasure. This time I am interviewing Justin "Squigs" Robertson -- artist and actor, who many have called the worthy successor to the late, great Al Hirschfeld for his wonderful sketches of Broadway shows and performers. Check out the show and the radio page also contains a clickable sample of his work as well as a link to his website where you can purchase prints (I already own 2 of them myself!). ENJOY!!!

Post by: Jrand74 on June 21, 2015, 07:18:27 AM: DR GEORGE - taking money from volunteers to pay for their own party seems a bit much to me.....sounds like a Board decision from a bunch of selfish people who have no appreciation for the FREE help they're getting.

Does anyone in the group that made the decision EVER work concessions? My guess is - NO!

We have to reschedule. So...

I'M STILL HERE.

Post by: Cillaliz on June 21, 2015, 05:00:17 PM: The guy who runs our local Farmers Market has been emailing me because I've been expressing my distaste with his decision to ban religious music from the market. It's all over a specific musician, but he didn't just ban the musician, he stopped everyone else from singing anything religious....we're talking Amazing Grace here. Anyway he's being a bit dramatic in his messages and emails. I told him this was about him and the article in the paper about it and not about me. He didn't seem to like that

So a folk singer can't do Amazing Grace, an instrumentalist can't do some classical religious song, what on earth difference does that make. I guess it was his comparison of religious music to profanity that really made me mad

Thanks. I had all kinds of intentions for this afternoon - Balboa Park, Coronado, a bay cruise - but decided I needed some down time. There's still a week and a half to go for this trip and it's too soon to wear myself out.

Besides, I'd rather do all of those things with Richard, so we'll have to come back to San Diego together sometime.

Yummy meat. The place was new so there were some kinks in the service, but that was probably more because it was Father's Day and packed.

I'm just stirring things up. I didn't start it and I'm sure it will blow over, but seriously, I think it's ridiculous. So a folk singer can't do Amazing Grace, an instrumentalist can't do some classical religious song, what on earth difference does that make. I guess it was his comparison of religious music to profanity that really made me mad

I agree with you. It's irritating.

When we have flooding in the Spring, we often have salmon on the highway trying to swim upstream.

The guy who runs our local Farmers Market has been emailing me because I've been expressing my distaste with his decision to ban religious music from the market. It's all over a specific musician, but he didn't just ban the musician, he stopped everyone else from singing anything religious....we're talking Amazing Grace here. Anyway he's being a bit dramatic in his messages and emails. I told him this was about him and the article in the paper about it and not about me. He didn't seem to like that

I don't like have religion forced on me, but really those are classics and people can walk away if they don't care for the music.

There is a difference between having religion forced on you and saying no one can sing religious songs. Many folk songs are religious. Does it include America the Beautiful? Would God Bless America not be allowed during the 4th of July weekend? If there was a problem with one individual, then deal with that individual, but to say no religious songs and equating them with profanity by saying "if he would have been swearing I would have asked him to stop too" is way out of line in my opinion

George - Does that revised tip policy make them get fewer concession people willing to put in the effort? Or does that have nothing to do with what the concession people do it for?

I don't know if we have fewer concessionaires because of it. I know a few people have just gotten too old and some others have moved, but there have been people on both sides of the issue. Some are (a little) upset that they no longer get to keep the tips, and others are happy that it's probably more fair for everyone (even those who never worked concessions ::) ).

DR GEORGE - taking money from volunteers to pay for their own party seems a bit much to me.....sounds like a Board decision from a bunch of selfish people who have no appreciation for the FREE help they're getting.

Does anyone in the group that made the decision EVER work concessions? My guess is - NO!

:P

As far as I know, no one on the board has ever volunteered for the WCPA on the front lines. But I don't know if the decision came from the board itself, or the supervisor of the volunteer coordinator, or someone in between.

I guess I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other...although it was nice getting a few dollars here and there. AND we get broken cookies. Can't sell the broken cookies. ;)

I'm not a fan of religious (or even "spiritual") song lyrics, but I wouldn't care if I'm in a public place and it's playing. I can very easily ignore it or go somewhere else. I'm sure that there is a lot of music that I like that offends other people.

Watching a version of Trouble in Tahiti. I don't think I've ever watched or heard this before.

I have a couple of recordings and (had?) a couple of DVDs. I really enjoy this short opera. Do you know (or know about) Bernstein's "A Quiet Place"? It's a follow-up. "Trouble in Tahiti" is interpolated into "A Quiet Place" as a flashback. I've only listened to "A Quiet Place" once...maybe twice. I'm not a fan of 12-tone (or similarly abstract melodies), but I like the idea of it being a sequel to a much earlier opera. I wonder if the libretto reads enough like a script and could be done (if not legitimately) as a play, but still with the opera flashback.
