Well, you've read the notes, the notes were vague and unfocused, and now it is time for you to post until the vague and unfocused cows come home.

The really annoying part is that Monday I was out of the office at a normal time and yesterday I was out by 7:30 ( which seems early after all the late nights I have been putting in). And instead of getting to get things done around home I am falling asleep

Good morning, all!  I wish I were still in bed.

This is another day in special collections at the Columbia library.  I'll first look over the full score of "Fare You Well" with my new sketch for the verses and verify that the bar count is good, then I'll finish up the next number, "The Dome," call it quits on Flatbox 243, request orchestra parts for Friday, and head home.  I'll be at Rockefeller Center tomorrow seeing my barber.

I have nothing else to report.  The doldrums continue.

Good morning, all.

Whatever my dream was, it had evaporated by the time I had raised myself off the mattress.  It's not even vague and unfocused.  It's like, nowhere, man.

Coffee, please.  And in a little while, I'm treating myself to a couple of toaster waffles.  Just because. 

Because.  they're.  here.

Rehearsal was fine last night with a couple of technical glitches that had NEVER happened.  When I spoke to the technical director I was told: "Don't worry about it, these things happen."

I said why?  What caused them?

"We don't know....that's just the way it is....."

No......do your job....check the microphones....make sure you have the right music cue loaded...and don't forget to play it.....and follow your script if you're doing the light cues....don't guess when you think the scene is over.....sometimes the actors have SOMETHING ELSE TO DO.

And now we're all wet.

The Putnam County Foundation photographer was there at six o'clock and took a lot of backstage photos and photos in the tech area....and in the theatre.  Then he stayed and took photos of the entire show!  I thought he would leave at intermission, but he was having a good time, so instead he set up his tripod and took more pictures....and stayed afterwards to take even more....

I hope they are posted somewhere so we can see them.

Started listening to Andrew Lloyd Webber's Stephen Ward. Could have been good, if he'd gone for a film noir approach. Instead, the music sounds like an Aspects of Live rehash.

Marvin Hamlisch, in a sweet Smell of Success mode, would have knocked this one out if the ballpark.

Good morning, all!  I wish I were still in bed.

This is another day in special collections at the Columbia library.  I'll first look over the full score of "Fare You Well" with my new sketch for the verses and verify that the bar count is good, then I'll finish up the next number, "The Dome," call it quits on Flatbox 243, request orchestra parts for Friday, and head home.  I'll be at Rockefeller Center tomorrow seeing my barber.

I have nothing else to report.  The doldrums continue.




Is there still a Teuscher's Chocolates in Rockefeller Center?  Yum.....Champagne Truffles.

Thanks, TCB. Now I'm drooling over the thought of a truffle that I don't have in my house.

If they can do it laproscopicly, (I know it isn't spelled right) it's same day.  If they get started and need to do open surgery then I'll be in the hospital for three days or so.

Rehearsal was fine last night with a couple of technical glitches that had NEVER happened.  When I spoke to the technical director I was told: "Don't worry about it, these things happen."

I said why?  What caused them?

"We don't know....that's just the way it is....."

No......do your job....check the microphones....make sure you have the right music cue loaded...and don't forget to play it.....and follow your script if you're doing the light cues....don't guess when you think the scene is over.....sometimes the actors have SOMETHING ELSE TO DO.

Well, the movie Love & Mercy (http://olympiafilmsociety.org/love-mercy/) was very good.  I didn't know what to expect, nor anything about Brian Wilson's life.  Paul Dano and John Cusack play Brian at two different times in his life and I thought that they both did a great job showing the effects of his diagnosed mental illness. 
Title: Re: A VAGUE AND UNFOCUSED MEMORY CONFIRMED
Post by: George on July 08, 2015, 09:55:08 PM
During the John Cusack scenes, his doctor, played by Paul Giamatti, pretty much had him drugged up and under his control, and when he (Brian Wilson) meets Elizabeth Banks' character (Melinda), they fall in love and she helps him get out from under his doctor's control.

Post by: George on July 08, 2015, 09:56:05 PM
The story isn't overly sensationalized and it's not hyper-intense, although there are a few pretty intense scenes.  As it says on Rotten Tomatoes (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/love_and_mercy/), "the film intimately examines the personal voyage and ultimate salvation of the icon whose success came at an extraordinary personal cost."

Highly recommended. :)

Post by: George on July 08, 2015, 10:00:33 PM
It's interesting that there were some shakey camera shots during the movie, but not all the way through it.  I noticed them mainly during the Paul Dano scenes when they were in the recording studio.  I don't think that they really were necessary, but since they were used sparingly and to me they seemed to have a specific use, they weren't so distracting.
