There are so many and DR Elmoore listed so many of them.
Just to mention that he also orchestrated a lot of Kern material for studio recordings of Kern scores.
Among them the film songs for the 3cd "Complete" Show Boat recording. I am sure he can talk more about them
Vixmom/Deb, did you ever see the recommendations I made for possibly hooking up to listen to Donald's show and my show on line even though you don't have speakers at work? I had sent you a pm about the CD but the other suggestions were made as a post. I just can't remember which day I posted them so I can't direct you to where they are if you haven't seen them.
Thanks, by the way, for the kind comments about my CD.
We've also seen Juliet Stephenson on stage .. in a wonderful play with Frank Langella at the Ahmanson, the name of which I don't recall, though she played a female artist during the Renaissance. Both she and Langella were terrific in it! A very interesting play too...wish I could remember the name!
I couldn't be at the chat becasue I was a memorial service for my friend's dad.
Well.... Remember, I have been living in Richmond, VA - The Capitol of the Confederacy - off and on for the past 17 years...
...Or was it the "The CapitAl..."
You say capital, I say capitol...
They seem to be used interchangeably (by mistake) nowadays. I remember being taught the difference back in fourth grade... But I still get confused. And I've forgotten the nemonic device to remember the difference/proper usage.
Jesse Jackson Visits Schiavo Hospice
Tuesday, March 29, 2005
PINELLAS PARK, Fla. — As Terri Schiavo entered her 12th day without food or water, Jesse Jackson paid a visit to her hospice to show his support for her parents and to said her case "transcends politics and family disputes."
Jackson called the treatment of the severely brain-damaged woman an "injustice" and he said that denying her a feeding tube and water was "unnecessary."
Very good news on the hotel and location, plus I bet you will be buying fresh peanuts every day.
Did I miss something? Is there an elephant in the hotel lobby where Jose is staying?

Woman Who Found Finger in Chili to Sue Restaurant
Tuesday, March 29, 2005
SAN JOSE, Calif. — A woman who bit down on a partial finger served in a bowl of chili at a Wendy's restaurant in California said she was disgusted by the experience, while her attorney has filed a claim with the franchise owner.
Anna Ayala (search), 39, of Las Vegas, was dining at the Wendy's in San Jose, Calif., on March 22 when officials said she scooped up the inch-and-a-half long fingertip in a mouthful of chili.
…
"Suddenly, I chew something that's kind of hard, crunchy," she said. "I spit it out. At first I wasn't sure what it was. We started investigating and poking it, [with] other people, too. That's when we find there's something that looks like a nail.
Vixmom - how are those bids going?
One thing that was revealed in chat, vixmom, is the Jerome Kern song on the upcoming Guy Haines album. Amazingly, it has not been mentioned here today.
When my father was in the hospital I seemed to be the only one aware he was dying.
I would say that what is wrong witht that toenail is that it popped up on my screen uninvited..yuck!
You mean you haven't seen the TV commercial for Fluconazole with the singing/dancing Dermatophytes?
der Brucer
The family had had discussion about the issue, and the consensus was clear - the simplest plain old wooden box would be perfect - don't waste money on something to bury in the ground.
we upped the ante to appease my pride.
And with TIVO you can really speed through the commercials. :D
We have also been informed by my parents that neither of them want a wake or a burial. They both want immediate cremation after any usuable organs are donated. This is also what DH & I agreed to for ourselves. At least that is (hopefully) one less argument to deal with when the time comes.
DERBRUCER - I understand what you have written. I plan for my passing to be the biggest funeral and Yard Sale in Mooresville!
Best it in be in writing, signed and witnessed, with copies provided, now, to all next of kin.
der Brucer
Well, DR VIXMOM - you can be sure that said Sale will include all the Carroll Baker and Frances Farmer items you might ever be interested in. Of course the Allison Hayes ephemera goes to DRMBARNUM.
The LP's will be the last to go, I am sure, but somebody will like Liberace, Billy Vaughn, Annette, Lawrence Welk, and ALL those Cast Albums.
LOL VIXMOM - bring your station wagon with the retractable merchandise cover!
Ben-
You read Reidel's column in the Post today? Lays it all out in Black and white about Daniel D. He and Beach haven't been speaking, etc. Cast was going to mutiny if he stayed on.
All I know is he made a friend of mine cry on the phone. Twice!
http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/41900.htm
JMK - I didn't leave you my Frances Farmer ephemera - because you have copies of most of it already (if you don't have the originals)!
Der Brucer, it was not Les Laisions Dangereuses which I also saw at the Ahmanson. Without rooting through my theatre programs, it was called something like Scenes from the Death of an Artist or something like that.
DerBrucer I thought my disgusting comment was following your toe fungus thing, not the moving comments about your mother’s funeral-sorry.
TOD - I can't contribute any Kern titles that haven't already been mentioned, but my favorite versions of many of them are by Joan Morris.
Another Joan Morris fan! We love her. Anthony and I saw her with her husband, William Bolcolm and Max Morath at the Lucille Lortel theatre this past summer. We spoke to them after the performance and they were very generous with their time. Anthony brought a CD which they kindly autographed and we spoke about music and performing with them for almost a half hour. It was a wonderful experience. Ginny, I know you're from Michigan. Did you go to U of M at Ann Arbor? Joan Morris is on the faculty there (I assume you already know that).
Ben - Yes, I went to Michigan, but was gone from there before William Bolcom joined the faculty in 1973 (the year I left) and Joan Morris in 1981. It was actually Elmore who introduced me to their recordings when we worked together on a local production of Look Homeward, Angel. I've only seen them perform once, here at the Sorg Opera House in Middletown, in 1985. We had an experience similar to yours, talking to them afterward. Very gracious and down-to-earth.
One thing that was revealed in chat, vixmom, is the Jerome Kern song on the upcoming Guy Haines album. Amazingly, it has not been mentioned here today.
DRMBARNUM - I saw Dorothy Neumann in THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD. I forgot she was in it! She has a couple of lines in the crucifixion scene.
She was wearing a hood, but I bet she had her hair in pigtails! ;D
What is it with Jesse Jackson these days? First, Michael Jackson; now Terry Shiavo. I know the Rev has been somewhat marginalized in the last few years, but is he that desperate for attention these days?
DRGinny, didn't you come to Duffs with Joan and Bill and many others after the concert at the Sorg? I flew back to Ohio to see them!
I'm on my way to pick up packages - hopefully there will be several, including Matango: Attack of the Mushroom People.
You went to a concert one week after having your first child!! I'm very impressed.
I have the B/R serial on VHS! From years ago. Is that the one with John Duncan as Robin? And a 1949 Mercury batmobile?
I'm on my way to pick up packages - hopefully there will be several, including Matango: Attack of the Mushroom People.
How does this scene figure into a motion picture titled TANK BATTALION?
Hey for all AMAZING RACE fans, for some reason tonight's show is TWO HOURS. 9pm-11pm EST. Looks like a doozy!
On what planet is Mariel Hemingway a bigger star than Don Knotts?Indeed. Who is Mariel Hemingway?
.... What am I, Criswell all of a sudden?
Mark my words.
....What more do I need?
Not to be confused with Apple Blossom Time.
...Capital Records Tower...
Hey, I'm strictly a McGuire boy.
Darn it.
One report is that HERCULES has been cut from a 4-hour two-night mini series to a 3-hour one night presentation on May 23? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
And, I predict that The Rhythm of Life will soon have its original arrangement back. What am I, Criswell all of a sudden?
Kind of a scrawny looking Hercules, though! ???
Oh, yes, my final Re:The FBI is training it's operatives at a fast food restaurant??? ??? ??? ??? :P
Re: the Wendy's story. I posted about this a few days ago--search my previous entries for the amazing punchline. The FBI is involved.
And besides...Hercules should ALWAYS have his hair in a 1950s pompadour...it is more authentic, dontchathink! LOL!
I'm still in shock from Michael Jackson's assertions that this current mess he's in is happening through bias against him as a black man. I was really surprised since I thought the prejudice would come from the black community since Jackson's been looking like a white woman for years.AHA!!! He's being persecuted because he's a lesbian!
Evening folks.
<SNIP>
Thank you, DR George. What should I be looking for from you? I can’t remember anything. Pictures from NY?
Re: Johnny Cochran. Somehow I can't summon up any tear of mourning for a man who, rather than seek truth and justice, chose to contemptuously manipulate the judicial system in order to cynically inflict once more onto society a heinous piece of dubious, vile, human excrement.
I think I'll let it be a surprise. Here's a hint: it starts with a C and ends with a D (and there's nothing in the middle of the word ::) ). Cryptic enough? ;) I hope you don't already havethese...I mean this...okay, "these." There are several of them. ;D
Yes, Ginny, what point is having a cold if you can't call in sick??
Yes, Jrand54, it is true! HERCULES in its initial airing on NBC will be in one-three-hour showing. This was done, to my understanding, for programming reasons. There will be a four-hour version that will air, I'm told, later on USA or Sci-fi and may also have another screening on NBC in the summer that will be four-hour. The DVD will be four-hour and everywhere else in the world it will show as a four-hour. I've seen neither the three or four hour version yet.
To preserve my chance of earning the "used no sick leave" incentive this quarter? Actually, I don't approve of such things, because I think it encourages people to come to work when they shouldn't. I've only earned it once in my seven-plus years at DML - and that was totally inadvertant!
Just before The Amazing Race, a brand new N.C.I.S. described as follows:Was he wearing the top, the bottom, or both?
A Petty Officer is found dead backstage at a local bikini contest.
What else from the network that brought you: Spring Break Shark Attack! :o

George you might think about using some of that sick leave up before you retire. A friend of mine used his accumulated sick leave every Monday just before he retired. He timed it perfectly.
One year my father kept my brother out of school and took him to a World Series game. They ran into one of his teachers. She said “I won’t tell if you don’t”.
Hi Tomovoz. :DA slow reaction from the land of OZ.. hi Jane :)

I had to buy two graves when I got mine and my burning question is if I die without marrying, what will happen to that second grave?
Boyce & Hart. Discuss.
And besides...Hercules should ALWAYS have his hair in a 1950s pompadour...it is more authentic, dontchathink! LOL!
DEPILATORY!
Kind of a scrawny looking Hercules, though! ???
Boyce & Hart. Discuss.I remember Alice Long. I wonder what's she's doing tonight.
Well, Howdy, Jose! How was your first night?
Good to hear it went well Jose. A couple more performances and you'll no doubt be able to play the black keys too.
Who is in this company of Mamma Mia?
