Title: THE MUSIC OF DANCE
Post by: bk on April 22, 2016, 12:35:20 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes were filled with the music of dance, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently composing their own dance MOOsic.

TCB, what is the name of your ship?

I've always wanted to go on a cruise, but there aren't any between Phoenix and Indiana, which is the only place we ever go.
Title: Re: THE MUSIC OF DANCE
Post by: elmore3003 on April 22, 2016, 06:42:50 AM
Last night, I had two strange dreams, one I now vaguely remember, with two elderly British actresses like Margaret Rutherford and Edith Evans, the other was a Manhattan cabaret around 1982.  My composer friend and Drama Book Shop cohort Thom Heinrichs, who died from AIDS, was in the dream, along with someone like Rachel Ray, who was interviewing performers there. Some young man kept urging me to do a show and he would play piano for me.

I haven't thought about Thom in years.  He was a former protégé of Mr Sondheim's who had moved to Manhattan from Oklahoma or Texas.  He was the son of a wealthy physician who had disowned him for being gay after institutionalizing him and putting him through electroshock torture.  He was a very good composer and an even better friend, and I find typing this tears out my heart.  He wrote a couple of songs for our cabaret group "Just Good Friends," and I gave him the title for a show he was writing, "They Had Faces Then."  He made the ordeal of crazy employers much easier at the book shop, and it was he who got me my first orchestration work in Manhattan.

Around 1983 or so, he met an actor in the revival of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat with Laurie Beechman and Bill Hutton.  When Ken decided to leave acting for law school, they moved to L.A,  Ken died around 1986, and Thom's letters ended around 1990.

I have no idea what made me dream about him last night; perhaps it's so we do not forget?

"Children of Eden" by Stephen Schwartz
We have season tickets for the Cabrillo Music Theater in Thousand Oaks so we were forced to see this show a week ago. When we got to our car afterwards, I noticed the show was only 10 minutes shorter than the "Mary Poppins" show Bruce and I both saw and commented was very long. I happen to kind of like this show however. And I like to familiarize myself with the music before I see a completely unfamiliar show and I found I really like the music (the CD is still in my stereo). It definitely has the Stephen Schwartz signature sound. All in all it's a decent flop show that has some pretty wonderful songs. "Stranger to the Rain" is particularly beautiful and could work nicely in a Kritzerland show someday...hint, hint.

These things drive me especially crazy during the month of Feb-you-ary.

I saw a commercial for...something for sale (or an event) last year, and the announcer kept pronouncing it as "Feb-brrr-ary," like "brrr, it's cold out."  He had to say Feb-brrr-ary over and over during the commercial.  I'd never heard that pronunciation before.  It was very strange...funny, but strange.

Okay, I see yesterday turned into a discussion of mispronounced words. My pet peeves are saying com-para-ble (as it's spelled), instead of  pronouncing it com-pra-ble and saying jew-ler-y (as it's not spelled) instead of correctly pronouncing it jew-el-ry.

I pronounce the g in gnat. Just because.

How g-narly.

My doctor has dropped out of my network.  She referred me to another doctor.  I am still trying to get rid of this $#%% cough.

I called the new doctor to make an appointment and mentioned the referral.  The lady at the office asked me what insurance I had.  After I told her, she told me that the first available appointment with the primary partner would be August 1, and that the first available appointment with the secondary partner would be June 1.

I told her thanks but that I would be dead by then.....there was no response.....so I hung up.

So I guess I am looking for a new doctor.....

These things drive me especially crazy during the month of Feb-you-ary.

I saw a commercial for...something for sale (or an event) last year, and the announcer kept pronouncing it as "Feb-brrr-ary," like "brrr, it's cold out."  He had to say Feb-brrr-ary over and over during the commercial.  I'd never heard that pronunciation before.  It was very strange...funny, but strange.

Well, I must be going.  Tonight and tomorrow are Olympia's Arts Walk (http://olympiawa.gov/city-services/parks/community-events/artswalk.aspx), and I'm volunteering at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts pretty much for crowd control.  Nothing specific is happening, but there is artwork all through the theater lobby that people can come in and view.  When I signed up on Wednesday for this, I was the only one who was signed up for the second shift, which goes until 10 pm (at the latest).  We'll see how long I actually have to stay there. 

Until later!

I think it's clear that TCB has to move to the Eastern Time Zone. It's so nice seeing him here earlier in the day!

Indeed it is not DR TCB.  Thanks DR JANE.

We are getting a LOT of political ads since our primary is on May 3.

Back from a long but fruitful rehearsal.  I had to go into BK mode due to latenesses, no one being there to let us into the building, etc.  We lost forty minutes and frankly I don't have those forty minutes to lose.

Here it is, one o'clock in the morning, and I am still awake.  I did have a couple of naps this evening, but now, when I need to sleep, I can't.

Oh well, it isn't like I have anything that I need to do tomorrow today.

I should set an alarm, so I can wake up in time to take a morning nap.

Have fun DR TCB.

MR BK - such actions are inexcusable......how many people passed the buck when you called them on it?  :-\

I went to the head of the department first - he got the sheriff on campus to let us in and he'll speak to the shop person who was thirty minutes late.  The students who were late were very apologetic and three of them have never had a problem before, so I just said it can't happen again - the shared actors who were late, well, that's inexcusable and two of them were alternates who were going to play the Thursday matinee performance, and we fired both because both have simply not been there enough.  That leaves us with one alternate and she's been at every single rehearsal and can basically step into any of the female roles.  One other gal is very much in danger of going and we'll make that decision on Monday morning - I have someone I can bring in if that happens.  I think this gal would really like to do it, but she's just missed too much and unlike the other shared actors, she hasn't been watching the videos are boning up on her solo.

In from a fun but sort of sad dance. Sort of sad because they played two Prince songs, one Bowie, Merle and some other musical friends we've lost recently.

Watching the DVD of Shrek the Musical. I've owned this for a while but I haven't watched it until now. I think it could have waited longer.

Wondering how it can possibly take two weeks to read my latest book, but what do I know?  Usually folks like Shayne read it the second it arrives.  Those days are gone.  I do understand that dear reader George is the busiest man in show business.

Mark read your latest book in two nights! He enjoyed it.

She painter modern subjects but in an older, classical style of painting.  She is quite good.

I saw this in Seattle before it went to Broadway and enjoyed most of it.  The big giant dragon didn't work and from what I'd heard, it got cut...and deservedly so.
