Post by: bk on November 07, 2016, 12:09:46 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Kritzerland at Sterling's 72, and now it is time for you to post until the 72 cows come home.

Title: Re: KRITZERLAND AT STERLING'S 72
Post by: Michael on November 07, 2016, 04:15:55 AM: Another fav

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas which has three versions out there. The Judy Garland film version, The Frank Sinatra version and Hugh Martin's religious rewrite.

I have a quite a few recordings of it and two (Dorothy Loudon and Linda Eder) sing a verse that is rarely used:

Christmas future is far away
Chrtismas past is past
Christmas present is here today bring joy that will last

and has anyone ever recorded the original depressing lyrics?

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
It may be your last
Next year we may all be living in the past
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Pop that champagne cork
Next year we may all be living in New York.

So, around 10, I'll go to Staples and photocopy some blank music sheets, then hop a bus for 28th Street.

Title: Re: KRITZERLAND AT STERLING'S 72
Post by: ChasSmith on November 07, 2016, 05:47:44 AM: Yesterday I was going through some stuff, and was inspired to take out a recording I probably hadn't listened to in close to forty years: The Six French Suites and Italian Concerto by one J.S. Bach, played by one Arthur Loesser.

Oh my lord, could that man play the pye-ano.

I feel so privileged to have known him at least as a teacher for a short time before his death.

I don't think he ever recorded for a mainstream label; this was done locally in Cleveland, and I'm thankful it sounds as decent as it does. I'm going to record it to high-res digital, and will see about acquiring the few other such recordings of his that are out there.
Title: Re: KRITZERLAND AT STERLING'S 72
Post by: ChasSmith on November 07, 2016, 05:53:19 AM: Yesterday's inspiration was inspired, itself, by DR Elmore's mention of a harpist I had known (in passing -- I don't think we ever did anything together except probably play in a few orchestral pieces) as a student: Lisa Wellbaum.

I found an article announcing her retirement from the Cleveland Orchestra in 2007, in which she reminisces about Alice Chalifoux, the orchestra's harpist I totally remember as a constant presence in my years there.

A wonderful trip down memory lane.

Post by: elmore3003 on November 07, 2016, 12:23:19 PM: I am home, and an ordeal it was: something is wrong with the subways - a person was pushed onto the tracks, I just heard on the news - and the buses are screwed up. I waited for over 25 minutes for a 104 bus, that usually runs every 10 minutes. I got to Staples, made my copied, and I am home.

I did have a nice lunch with my friend Steve.

It never caught on, and indeed is no longer in the show I wrote it for, but here was my attempt to write a peppy "Christmas shopping in New York" song

"In This Season we Love"

That's great, Fred!

Thanks, George!
(And thanks for watching and adding to the YouTube view number also.)

Finally got a chance to listen to it. Great job, Fred.

Title: Re: KRITZERLAND AT STERLING'S 72
Post by: elmore3003 on November 07, 2016, 05:55:44 PM: I just finished watching the Jean-Pierre Ponnelle film from the 1970s of Carmina Burana, beautifully sung with fantastic designs out of Bosch and Breughel, a phantasmagoria of sexual imagery (huge green phallus of shrubbery in the Spring section) and some war raging between heaven and hell, with black devils, a campy angel who gets roasted in hell, and frolicking young men and women. It was very interesting, and that amazing score is unbelievable in its sounds and imagery.

I couldn't work on them tonight because the Seahawks were on Monday Night Football.

Robert, the lead actor, asked if I had seen any of the game and when I started to mention that the Taco Del Mar where I had dinner had the game on, he instantly told me NOT to tell him ANYTHING about the game or the score...not even who was ahead (the Seahawks)! He was recording the game and wouldn't see it until after rehearsal. He's a die-hard Seahawks fan!

So, I figure if I get there early enough in the morning, and they're still having troubles, it at least won't be as bad as going at lunch time. :-\ We'll see.
