When the alarm rang at 6:15 I was so tired that I got up, fed the cats, and went back to bed, where I tried to go back to sleep for 45 minutes.  Annabelle and Stella visited, but only Annabelle stayed.  At 7:15 I figured I had had enough and dragged myself out of bed.

Boy, what a night.

I’ll say it again.  What a night!

Not a bad one by any means, just a busy one with one of my epic dreams. The first long scene happened before I got up in the middle of the night to visit the bathroom and turn on my bedroom fan. Then, Part II was basically a follow up to Part I, consisting of a series of scenes, each of which referred to other familiar dream themes, a couple of them quite intricately. The final bit brought us right back to the Part I thing, and that in itself is all about what I have to work on today for our upcoming Assassins. Whew!

I would write it out, but it would take a long time, and explaining it all would take a whole page here. Fortunately, as soon as I came downstairs I was able to sit in the recliner and go over the entire thing for my own benefit, so it’s less likely to be forgotten any time soon.

My unemployment landed in my bank this morning. I'm gradually - but far too gradually for my taste - rebuilding my small savings account after losing nearly $800 to those damned Ohio property taxes.  Some days I want to dig up my father and kick his ass for causing this mess in what he thought was a good deed, but most days I want to murder my brothers for letting their greed and stupidity get us into this mess.

That’s a fascinating discovery, or re-discovery, of the Louis Lane album.

He was Szell’s assistant conductor when I arrived in Cleveland in 1967. Jim Levine and Michael Charry were the junior guys. I believe I only ever heard Lane conduct once, at an out of town concert which might not even have been the Cleveland Orchestra. But he was a presence.

However, I don’t remember a Cleveland Pops, or any recordings of his, and that being on the Epic label is an indicator that that was before my time there. Their label was Columbia then, but I’ve always loved the Szell recordings I still have on Epic, such as the Mahler Tenth, Schubert “Great”, and the Beethoven cycle.

I will very much enjoy listening to this Pops recording.

NY State turned down the Fat Slug's offer.  Since the GOP is back in negotiations on Covid-19 relief and fighting it, God knows if we will ever see any money.  I just hope the dumbass voters supporting the GOP come to realize they are doing jack shit to help anyone but themselves.

I had lunch with Louis Lane and James Stuart, the wonderful man who began Ohio Light Opera, many years ago.  Lane used to conduct pops concerts with the OLO orchestra during their summer season. I miss Mr Stuart quite a lot.  He was a lovely man, the complete opposite of the arrogant SOB now running OLO.

According to the website of the current Cleveland Pops, they were founded in 1993 and there’s no reference at all to any mid-century incarnation of same. Bizarre.

EDIT:  I suspect that reflects more the way of the world these days. They have no interest in doing anything but promoting their own entity. The hell with an actual *comprehensive* history.

Mars is now in retrograde in Aries.

Mars is a powerful planet, even more so when teamed up with warrior Aries, the fiery sign it rules. When retrograde, however, it urges you to shift that intense power inward in order to reflect and transform yourself into something better than you were before. Taking responsibility for your actions—past and present—is key.

Where have you gone wrong, and how could you have prevented yourself from making the mistakes you’ve made? Mars retrograde in Aries doesn’t want you to dwell on the negative, but it does promote learning from past experiences.

Did a quick Gelson's run for tomorrow's food, which I'm calling not so faux stroganoff, since I got beef this time.  Just four ounces, which will be more than enough.

I feel worse tonight than I did last night.  I really need to be better by tomorrow morning.   I must drink lots of water without getting nauseated as I volunteered to give 8 viales of blood.  It is for a trial on a possible new blood test to detect cancer.

I saw an article on the study and then Quest Diagnosits sent an email on behalf of the study for cancer free volunteers.

Listening to the Faure Requiem - I had no idea I had about six versions - listening Andre Cluytens, which is very good, but I think I'll listen to 'em all and choose my favorite.

I'm home watching the 1929 version of Show Boat from the laserdisc collection, "The Complete Show Boat."

This version has actual spoken dialogue once Magnolia and Gaylord start acting.

Also, I just got a text from Tom.

Show Boat went back to intertitles after Gaylord and Magnolia got married.

I must say, the actor playing Gaylord is quite attractive. ;)

I didn't realize that Julie left the Cotton Blossom right at the beginning of this version of the movie.

There wasn't even a silent movie equivalent of the up-tempo version of "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man."

This laserdisc version looks pretty good.

So, Gaylord won back a lot of money, they moved back into their big fancy house and he bought a race horse.
Title: Re: COLORFUL NOTES
Post by: George on September 09, 2020, 11:14:59 PM
There was a racing accident and they had to put the horse down.

And now, there's spoken dialogue again.

This is the version that I have. :)
Title: Re: COLORFUL NOTES
Post by: George on September 09, 2020, 11:20:42 PM
So now, there is no sound at all (not even background silent-movie music) and there are subtitles on the screen. :-\
Title: Re: COLORFUL NOTES
Post by: George on September 09, 2020, 11:21:31 PM
It's like there was supposed to be the spoken dialogue soundtrack, but that was lost, and there were no intertitles, so they added subtitles.
Title: Re: COLORFUL NOTES
Post by: George on September 09, 2020, 11:32:00 PM
I just read the insert and that's exactly what happened.
Title: Re: COLORFUL NOTES
Post by: George on September 09, 2020, 11:35:19 PM
It was assumed that ALL of the 1929 soundtrack was lost, but "the Library of Congress has preserved many of the original Vitaphone discs, and those have been used as source material for the sound on this laser disc version. Unfortunately, some of the sound discs have been lost, and this laser disc presents those portions of the film with subtitles which have been derived from the original production's continuity script."
Title: Re: COLORFUL NOTES
Post by: George on September 09, 2020, 11:36:31 PM
So far, most of side two (of the two sides for the 1929 version) is silent.
Title: Re: COLORFUL NOTES
Post by: George on September 09, 2020, 11:44:00 PM
Well, almost 40 minutes in and the sound's back!
Title: Re: COLORFUL NOTES
Post by: George on September 09, 2020, 11:45:46 PM
Also, in reading the liner notes, the movie rights for this version were bought before the stage musical ever happened!
Title: Re: COLORFUL NOTES
Post by: George on September 09, 2020, 11:46:40 PM
Then the show became VERY popular, so they were able to not-quite-successfully interpolate some of the themes from the musical into the movie score.

My idea is to make DVDs of all the various Show Boats in this laser disc set...all the movies, and the two different sound tracks on each disc.

That might end up being eight DVDs!

I should've been recording this version while I was watching it.
Title: Re: COLORFUL NOTES
Post by: George on September 09, 2020, 11:58:36 PM
That would've been one DVD.
Title: Re: COLORFUL NOTES
Post by: George on September 09, 2020, 11:59:17 PM
I can't just let it record because I need to flip over the laser disc while it's recording onto my DVD burner so that it'll all be one title.
