Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Lenny, and now it is time for you to post until Lenny's Cowlumbia cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: SYNCRETISM!
-
First post after BK!
-
Great pictures and really great videos!
-
BK, in the cast photo, who is the man behind your left shoulder, in the back?
-
I guess George went to bed.
-
So, I guess I should say good night!
-
I guess George went to bed.
I was watching the videos. :) Love the videos and pictures, as always!
-
So, I guess I should say good night!
Good night, Tom. I need to sleep, too.
-
First from the East coast!
-
Yesterday was a strange day indeed!
-
Wonderful videos thanks for posting
-
Sorry to have been E&T.
-
Emotions much too raw and no sleep...I felt that the best part of discretion was to keep my mouth shut
-
And so to work I go
-
Good morning, all!
-
I do not feel particularly social, and so, like DR vixmom, I'm keeping a low profile for the time being..
-
Good morning, all.
-
Thanks to BK for the photos and videos.
-
I love the mini-LP sleeves, too, and I don't even recall if I have any.
It seems like the concept would work best in a box set like those BK has mentioned in recent times. But I'm always for great LP cover art being reproduced for CDs, even if just within the jewel box.
-
I loved Nibbler's!
-
Just checking in before I step out.

LENNY!
The one time I saw him in person, and got his autograph.
The NY Philharmonic was on tour, playing in Fort Lauderdale's cavernous War Memorial Auditorium.

The program opened with "Leonore" Overture No. 3, continued with Symphonic Dances from "West Side Story", and ended with the Tchaikovsky Fourth. The WSS finished changing my life that night (in a process the film had started just a few weeks before), and I probably didn't sleep or talk of anything else for the next three days.
The other two pieces on the concert were forever lost to an immediate and lasting amnesia.
At that point I didn't know about the recording, so when I went to one of the local record emporiums a day or two later and discovered it, with that amazing cover art using the photograph from the film, I just about lost my mind. I know I wore the first one out, and probably drove my family and friends completely nuts with it.

Oops, sorry, that is the amazing John Boswell and his video will be up in tonight's notes.
-
I'm up, I'm up - I've been up since six-fifteen, but stayed in bed. So, four hours of sleep.
-
Thursday morning greetings! Today I have to deliver 18 cute bags of caramel corn to the Holiday Bazaar venue, visit Mom, and grocery shop.
-
Good Morning
-
TOD: I love to listen to Bernstein, but as a musician, his music is inaccessible to me and my simple mind.

The last time I saw him was backstage at Brooklyn Academy of Music. He was running around French kissing everyone he grabbed while one famous Russian dancer and one loopy actor were doing coke in the men's room. I kept out of his range.

Isn't John Boswell the tall guy in the middle of the back row (on your right)? ::)

And speaking of West Side Story, what's wrong with this picture??

This is from a professional production in South Africa (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-W4yGrXtKc). There's nothing wrong with that, but these guys are NOT in high school.
-
Good morning, good day!
-
I wonder if DR Laura will be in today because yesterday she was out all day.
-
Bernstein east.
Love his Broadway work.
-
Today is Thursday, and it is the last work day of the week.
Tomorrow is a national holiday. Tomorrow is Veterans Day.
Hooray for a holiday.
Hooray for Veterans Day.
I'm going to "sleep IN".

Wow! That's an impressive image!

Today is the birthday of my brother Macbeth. I don't care.

Good evening, all.

The wife of a coworker was standing in line at Starbucks yesterday when somebody told her she'd better move back to Mexico if she's upset about the election. Helen is Hispanic, but she was born here and has been a citizen all her life.
-
And so it starts.
-
The only time I ever made it to Tanglewood was to hear what turned out to be Bernstein's last concert. He was too ill to conduct his own Arias and Barcarolles, but he did conduct Beethoven's 7th and the Sea Scapes from Peter Grimes. His energy gave out as he was the Beethoven. There was no break between the last two movements and his conducting was reduced to using his head to nod in the direction of which section of the orchestra he wanted accentuated. He used his hands to hold himself up.
Thankfully, the concert was recorded. It's one of my favorite CDs.
-
TOD:
I love a lot of the music from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It's not a great score, but the music is really American to the core. It succeeds far better than Lerner's contributions.

Here's a nice oddity from the record shelf.
No liner notes or credits, which I guess was standard practice for RCA's Camden line. The record label credits Nan Merriman as the mezzo on the Jeremiah Symphony, and the record's previous owner wrote on the back that the "Schuyler" is the St. Louis Symphony and the "Golden" is the RCA Victor Symphony! :)

Not as I recall. But just in case, I promise not to think upon it! :D

Just in case you've been wondering about the things I made to contribute to the Holiday Bazaar:
(http://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14955826_1063925093720537_7752793294770114102_n.jpg?oh=59722cb5b1c5163352ec25f162e978a4&oe=58CF4436)
In the foreground, you see some of the 16 Tea & Cookie treat packets that I make out of scrapbook patterned paper. There's a wrapped Mrs. Fields chocolate chip cookie in the middle and a tea bag on each side. In the background, you see 5 of my 18 caramel corn bags.
I have been a busy elf.

TOD - I like CANDIDE and WEST SIDE STORY, of course, and don't know much else about Bernstein's music. I do have a memory, though. On my first trip to NYC, in 1967, Mom and I toured the then-new Lincoln Center. We weren't permitted to enter Avery Fisher Hall because there was a rehearsal in progress on stage. Instead, we were taken to an observation room above stage right to watch Leonard Bernstein and Van Cliburn at work.
-
On the Town is great, too.
-
Page 3hree!

I need one more post to achieve a mini-millstone.
-
Voila! And Viola, too (for all you "Twelfth Night" afficionadoes).

It is sad but right that you don't.

Yep. the ship of fools that Tramp was sailing has landed and the ignorant, debased, depraved, and imbecilic trash are out to continue the violence and hatred he stirred up in his campaign. I hate them all.

Some are little petty things from ugly little minds, like spraying swastikas all over a black woman's car, leaving threatening notes or threatening Asian-Americans and Muslims to vicious attacks.

Back from doing a really fun but exhausting ninety-seven minute audio commentary - we almost made it to the end without me exhausting all my notes, but the last seven minutes or so are just me and Richard having fun watching the movie. I got him to sing a few songs during the commentary.

Can't wait to hear (and see) it! Do you have an idea when it'll be released?
-
Tonight's movie. Beautiful.
-
Thanks, DRs Jane and George!
-
The Blu-ray won't be coming until next June or so.
-
Tonight, my friend Margo and I are hopefully going to see the 3-D IMAX version of "Doctor Strange"! I say hopefully because she's ushering for an event that should get out before the movie starts.
-
I'll get there when I get there (it starts at 9:50 pm), and she can come in whenever she's done. Fortunately, there are a lot of previews and the movie probably won't actually start until after 10:00 pm.
-
Just had to share. :)
-
I'm still at work and will be for a while, so I'm not leaving, yet.
-
I don't know if anyone else is left in the building. I'll certainly check before I leave, in case I need to make sure that all the doors are locked, turn off all the lights, and set the alarm. Not a problem, if I have to do that.
-
Our custodian isn't here tonight, so whoever is last in the building has to shut it all down.
-
Thursday morning greetings! Today I have to deliver 18 cute bags of caramel corn to the Holiday Bazaar venue, visit Mom, and grocery shop.
Ginny would you share your caramel corn recipe?

Bored of page three.

Listening to some mighty strange music - they symphonies of Humphrey Searle - a Brit - he did the score for Robert Wise's The Haunting. It's mostly atonal music - he studied with Webern and it's very much of Webern's school and a lot of it sounds like film music.
-
Not my favorite but certainly interesting.

West Side Story is what immediately comes to mind

Congratulation Ron on your new milestone
-
And Thank your, Ron, for your service to our country, happy Veterans Day
-
Have we any other veterans amongst our HHW crew?
-
Page four? Really?
-
Topic of the Day: the scores West Side Story, On the Town, Wonderful Town, Candide, and Trouble in Tahiti. I don't know any of his other classical music.
-
Well, I'm off to the movies. I have to stop off at home first, then it's "Doctor Strange".
Be back later.
-
But...
-
...before I go...
-
Gratuitous Post #100!
-
:D
-
Good evening!
-
Another beautiful day outside.
-
I don't think we broke any records, but it was about 60 degrees.
-
Our incoming rain storm is now supposed to stay off of the coast until late tomorrow.
-
Tomorrow I am going down to George Country for lunch, so hopefully the rain will stay away.
-
Having gone out for lunch on Tuesday and Wednesday we would not normally accept an invite to go out for dinner tonight. Friends who live on a golf course called and invited us to walk it with them since it was such a nice day. After the lovely walk we went out to dinner.
-
Today was all line work.
-
I didn't even open the book manuscript today.
-
Last night it must have gotten very foggy.
-
There was one rather loud fog horn that I had never heard before.
-
There is one ship at anchor just off Point Ruston. I wondered if they might have been blowing a fog horn.
-
I should be sleeping. I have work in the morning...
-
You would think that after 14 years of living here, I would be familiar with all the regular fog horns.
-
I have to be up in 5 hours
-
Oh well, it is a mystery.
-
They are promising no fog tonight.
-
Hello, Vixmom.
-
I hope you are feeling a little better.

Greetings, 1 Guest!
-
How do you like to have your potatoes prepared.
-
scalloped potatoes hare probably my favorite, but I can't make them anymore.
-
I suppose I could make the instant scalloped potatoes.
-
If you add enough onions and cheese, they aren't too bad.
-
DR Vixmom I hope you can get some sleep.
-
I am sorry I missed Cilla's visit the other night.
-
Ginny your treats look yummy!
-
And George is at the movies tonight.
-
So I guess I am alone again.
-
Naturally.
-
The anti-Trump protests in Portland turned violent tonight. Fortunately our dear friend, who was driving into it, is ok.
-
Greetings, Jane!
-
Sorry Tom, hi 😊
-
Sending good vibes you can concentrate on learning your lines.

Night!
