Good morning, all.

Way too early for a Caturday.  But I, like a perfect idiot, committed to playing more auditions today.

I don't have much to say for myself this morning.

Yesterday I spent another couple of hours at the Finale tutorials.  Boy, will I never want to hear Auld Lang Syne again after this is over.

These auditions are for kids in the morning and everyone else in the afternoon.  Then I'm granting myself a decent meal and an evening of good movie watching, which I'm sorely behind on.  Don't know what, yet.  Something damned good.
Title: Re: THE HEADACHE DAY
Post by: ChasSmith on March 26, 2016, 04:42:32 AM
BK's not alone in yesterday -- actually the past few days -- having had their aggravations.  It's been a generally good, but up and down, week.

I do know that I personally let myself get too worked up over things that don't call for it.  It ain't worth it.  I'm making an effort to change that.
Title: Re: THE HEADACHE DAY
Post by: ChasSmith on March 26, 2016, 05:00:21 AM
Tomorrow will be a ME day of leisurely work on music, followed by more movies.  I'm going to begin programming this Gypsy I'm playing, which isn't till July but it'll be a simple job and I will love knowing it's in the can so there's no pressure later.  I will also begin learning Do I Hear a Waltz?, the last of the three Encores! shows.  I look forward to that.  But Lordy, I also have to get off the dime and get my ticket for it.

A tax season Saturday - hopefully a very productive work day, since the phone won;t be ringing with calls from clients and there are usually no client emergency-emails when we're in on Saturday.
Title: Re: THE HEADACHE DAY
Post by: FJL on March 26, 2016, 05:14:49 AM
The Federal tax deadline being April 18 this year rather than April 15 has both positive and negative aspects.  On the one hand, we have an extra weekend of breathing room to get return filed.  On the other hand, that's an extra working weekend.

On balance, i think it'll turn out that the good aspects of the extra weekend for filing will outweigh the bad.

Here's another one for DR Elmore and whoever else is game:

In The Music Man there are three short "76 Trombones Crossovers" that follow the library scene.  In the published vocal score and the current MTI P/C score, they're in F, G-flat, and G, respectively -- but in the MTI full score and the parts, all three are in F.  I naturally "assumed" (and we all know where that gets us) that the ascending keys are correct, but having suffered through a few execrable YouTube productions in which they've been performed both ways, I begin to wonder which is more correct, or better.  (For this production, I care not.  I just wonder.)

None of us serving "vest" for the service ( no robes or vestments). We all are dressed entirely in black. 

The service opens with two hymns played by the string choir and one played by the bell choir while all sit in quiet contemplation
Title: Re: THE HEADACHE DAY
Post by: vixmom on March 26, 2016, 05:49:08 AM
Then we start the service which tells the story of Jesus' arrest, trial and crucifixion by interspersing readings from Isiah (OldTestament prophesies) (which I read) followed by a reading from Luke (New Testament fulfillment of the prophesies)   (Which the Vixter read) each reading followed by a prayer and a hymn during which one candle was extinguished
Title: Re: THE HEADACHE DAY
Post by: vixmom on March 26, 2016, 05:55:29 AM
As the service progresses the church becomes darker and darker until finally after the last reading when Jesus is removed from the cross and entombed the final aisle candle is extinguished and we all kneel in silence by the light of the single altar candle while there is an acapella solo of "were you there when they crucified our Lord" .... Then the Pastor takes the last candle and walks behind the altar wall  and the church is left in complete darkness while we kneel in silence and then the Pastor slams the back door of the church (symbolizing the sealing of the tomb) which cracks through the silence
Title: Re: THE HEADACHE DAY
Post by: vixmom on March 26, 2016, 05:57:29 AM
Finally the single candle ( the Pascal candle) is brought back to the altar to symbolize hope  and the congregation leaves in silence
Title: Re: THE HEADACHE DAY
Post by: vixmom on March 26, 2016, 05:59:36 AM
It is a very moving and emotional service and the church is packed tight for it  it is also moving seeing all these people , even children leaving in absolute silence.  The tradition is no one even speaks on the cchrch walkways. They wait until they have crossed the street into the parking lot

Post by: vixmom on March 26, 2016, 06:01:18 AM
My mom and one of The Vixters friend were at the service  afterwards my mom headed home and the Vixter and her friend and I went to the Millers Alehouse for a late dinner (it was already after 9 by time we were seated)

DR ChasSmith, about those scene changes. They're probably all in the same key in score and parts to make it easy for student orchestra. It's that or it's a big error.

TOD:
I had to Google lists of top 70's hits because the 60s, 70s and 80s tend to all run together. It was interesting to see how the very early 70s was mostly dominated by children with The Partridge Family, The Osmonds, and Jackson 5.
Elton John had a lot of great hits in the 70s like "Philadelphia Freedom," "Bennie and the Jets," and "Crocodile Rock." Diana Ross had some of my favorite songs: "Do You Know Where You're Going To" and "Touch Me in the Morning". Then there were one-hit-wonders like Gilbert O'Sullivan with "Alone Again Naturally" - also one of my favorites of that decade.
As previously mentioned by others here, John Denver had several hits, along with Olivia Newton John, and The Carpenters, the Bee-Gees, and Helen Reddy, but they weren't my favorites. I did like Carole King quite a bit.
People who were trying to ditch their past groups had quite a few hits in the 70s: Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr all did well, and Michael Jackson did one of my favorites songs, "Ben" as a solo artist.
There was also some real crap in the 70s like "Billy, Don't Be a Hero" and "Disco Duck."

Good Morning All:

The 70's were probably my favorite time period for songs and songwriters.


CAROLE KING:  My favorite album of all time is TAPESTRY.
CAT STEVENS:  SONG:  FATHER AND SON.  I actually did a term paper on this song.
JAMES TAYLOR:  ALBUM:  SWEET BABY JAMES, FAVORITE SONG;  SWEET BABY JAMES, also love FIRE AND RAIN
ELTON JOHN: ALBUM:  GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD!!!

I loved Cat Stevens' albums and Don McLean; "American Pie" and its allusions is the song equivalent of James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake. Carole Kings was always amazing.

I also loved Janis Ian's "Between the Lines" and Dory Previn's "Mythical Kings & Iguanas": the despair and loneliness in "Lady with The Braid" still breaks my heart.

This morning I've been listening to the soundtrack album for NASHVILLE, which remains for me the greatest film of the 1970s  I'm sure a lot of the reason I chose it has to do with seeing BRIGHT STAR again this week, but listening to Ronee Blakely's "Idaho Home" and Barbara Harris' surprise star turn of "It Don't Worry Me" still move me to tears.

I overfill them, too. But I have to admit I was raised on Mom using her homemade bread and butter pickles in the deviled eggs. So those are my standard. Everyone is different, I realize.

Thanks, DRs Kate and Jane.

All opinions welcome. I got one for mixing in dill weed, but not pickle. That sounds intriguing.

I have to confess that I did make deviled eggs for New Year's 2000 and didn't like them very much. Not that they were bad, but they had crab meat and wasabi in them and neither added to the dish. No wonder I forgot about them.

And I am home! Game cast, but I think that, as a show, Do-Re-Mi is a real dud with a few good songs and a few really lousy numbers. My friend Laura was fine in the Nancy Walker role and my friend Danny Marcus was a good racketeer.  The rest of the cast ranged from really good to not-so-good.  I can't say I had a bad time, only that I spent much of it wondering why it ever ran and that I were watching another Comden & Green or Jule Styne show.  I did love, and always have, the silliness of "What's New At the Zoo?" but "All You Need Is a Quarter" fails on nearly every level, from faux-pop song to mediocre revue material.

Okay, then I vote for big error.  I'm not aware of anything that's one bit simplified.

In fact, these kids are finding this score a real challenge.  Their conductor gave me a heads up on that, and I was still shocked when I heard the problems.  On the other hand, he's got a really inexperienced group this time.  But Willson's style of "Trouble", for instance...though really, many of the songs...it's hard for most of us to believe, but they're in a world they don't know.

So, question for y'all: Pickle, relish or neither?

Fjl's Skip makes the most wonderful deviled eggs I have ever had.  No pickle juice   Just mayo , Dijon mustard and blue cheese.  Topped with bacon crumbles .    Amazing!,


Great.  I'll read that to him!!!

Vixdad and I just watched Buster Keaton's "The General". On TMC.... A silent movie,  Wonderful storytelling, great effects all real.... Great stunts... And a bare minimum of dialogue boards.   Puts modern movie makers to shame

So now, I need to shower and shave (in that order), get something to eat (which will also allow my hair to dry), then get the haircut.

Be back later!

Well, I'm at the theater after showering and shaving (in that order), eating, but not haircut getting.  Unbeknownst to me, the place that I go for my quasi-semi-annual haircuts closes at 1:30 pm on Saturdays.  They otherwise close at 6:00 pm on weekdays, which is the time that I assumed that they closed today, but when I got there at about 3:30, they were closed.  But, I am at least shaved, which is half the hair battle.  :)

Good evening. I spent the day cooking various things. The young lady who is always in charge of the Easter breakfast at church gave birth a couple weeks ago, so she really didn't do any organizing this year. There were only a few dishes coming in, so I fixed stuff I thought would fill in the blank spaces.

I fixed a french toast casserole that has no meat so my daughter will have something to eat; I made biscuits and sausage gravy; I made three flavors of yogurt (the only way I can get my daughter to eat yogurt - no gelatin); I squeezed a lot of oranges for juice. I will put some steel-cut oats in the crockpot before I go to bed tonight for the people who insist on eating healthy on holidays.

Don't get me wrong, I would eat them as deviled eggs, too, but if but you're just not in the mood for a side dish and there are any left over, they can be cut up and put on bread (or some other edible holder) and be turned into a main food item ;D

My neighbor told me about a new cat sitter named Shelly.   I hadn't called yet and think I may have lost the number.  Today he saw me and said he talked to Shelly to see if I can called. He told her my name and she said "I know her!!"   Turns out she's the same Shelly who has been an interpreter for me on a number of cases over the past 10 years.   I was so happy to hear that.  She's someone I would definitely trust and who I think would be great with my cats.  She stays and reads for an hour or so, just so the cats have some company and can calm down.  This is a huge relief as I just booked travel plans for me to take my parents to my nephews wedding this summer and I was very concerned about it
