Well, you've read the notes, you've plotzed over the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're at temple right now, singing the prayer for wine.
-
And the word of the day is: PLOTZ!
Adding birthday wishes to the notes right now.
-
Happy birthday Joey.
-
The books I selected yesterday: Why? Great stories from different cultures, different times and totally different styles. I like to share what I have enjoyed.
-
Five books I passed down:
THE COMPLETE PLAYS OF SHAKESPEARE...everything you want to know about drama and life can be found in Shakespeare.
SHE by H. Rider Haggard...the greatest fantasy/adventure ever written; the book that story an entire sub-genre of fantasy literature...The Lost Race genre. And just a primal, haunting book.
THE HIGH WINDOW...quintessential Raymond Chandler.
THE PRINCESS BRIDE by William Goldman. As good as a book gets.
DRAGONHEART by me...because I'm vain and it would be like passing on a piece of myself.
-
PLOTZ, baby, PLOTZ. Ooh, I think I'll change the title of the notes right now.
-
I would actually love to stay up for awhile, but my doctors appointment if fairly early, so I'd best get my beauty rest.
PLOTZ on, dear readers, PLOTZ on.
The PLOTZ thickens.
-
At least two books that I'd pass down:
To Kill a Mockingbird - one of the most human of all books.
1984 - just because.
-
Sounds like the Passover was great fun! And I learned about Passover Coke....I wonder if there is Passover Pepsi?
Thanks for the Passover Report and the Courts Report....do yesterday's post make BK the Courts Reporter?
PLOTZ!

[move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR JOEY!![/move]
I hope you get your computer back today! ;D
-
Hmmmmmmmmm....five books to pass on. Well.....
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
Complete Works of Shakespeare (vote number two for this tome)
Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury
And I will save two until I hear more selections!
-
Good morning, all! Today's a SHOWBOAT day at Rodgers & Hammerstein. Several years ago, I inventoried all the various versions o the show in the Annex: the Lincoln Center, the 1946 revival, the McGlinn-EMI recording, Los Angelesd Civic Light Opera, etc. I have to go in and do some housekeeping on the project this morning. I'll see a lot of friends, gossip, and get to play among materials on one of the theatre's great shows. Should be fun.
DRPogue, I loved your honest comment about DRAGONHEART; I do the same with CDs I've worked on. However, to minimize both our ego trips a smidgeon, I think a person's work is also a way of telling someone "the things I don't say about my heart, my mind, my beliefs and attitudes are often expressed in my work and perhaps reading/litening to this will let you know a little more of my inner life."
I've passed on the following books:
TUCK EVERLASTING (fantasy and the reality/finality of death)
THE GREAT CAT MASSACRE (good approach to historical research)
COLD COMFORT FARM (Jane Austen civilizes DH Lawrence, and it's funny)
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (a comic novel that sparkles)
FAIRY TALES by Andersen and Wilde (few live happily ever after)
THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS (a children's book for adults)
THE ODYSSEY (the great romantic adventure)
Plays by Shakespeare, Shaw, Wilde, Orton, and others

I am such a pathetic typist!
-
Books:
Alice In Wonderland
The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz
Charlie and Chocoalte Factory
These three books were my favorite as a child and still hold a place in my heart and especially Alice In Wonderland as an adult studied in university as there is a lot more to it than just a children's story.
and I will have to think about the other 2 books

And talking of books here is some excerpts from The Liza Diaries and a link to them.
I had just returned home from dinner with Henry Kissinger and Jill St. John, when I walked in to find my husband, Peter Allen, covered in batter, dancing around the kitchen in a corsette given to me by Lotte Lenya. I was shocked. "Oh my God, Peter," I shrieked, "You made brownies!"
We started our diets again on Monday.
Years ago, I was at Swifty's post-Oscar bash and I spotted Aaron Spelling having cocktails with Kay Lenz and Jan-Michael Vincent. I sauntered over, sat on his lap, looked him straight in the eye and said "Aaron, you've got the smart angel, the sexy angel and the innocent angel - now how 'bout one with a little pizzazz?!" As I wrapped my boa around his neck, I leaned in close enough to realize that I'd actually been flirting with Linda Hunt. Ironically, days later I got offered my choice of either Tattoo's mother on Fantasy Island, or a jealous transvestite who tosses Barbi Benton over the side of a very special Love Boat.
I was sailing to Lesbos on my stepfather Sid Luft's yacht, "The Other Two are Mine," when I got a call from Desi Arnaz, Jr., my honey at the time. "Z," he said frantically, "I think I got the clap." "Baby," I said, "I knew if you hung in there, sooner or later someone would applaud!" Then he mumbled somethin' kinda' rude, the boat lurched forward and tipped to the side, and the next thing I remember is waking up naked on a beach next to Ari Onassis, smothered in olive paste and wearing a tiara inscribed to Rose Kennedy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOEY!!!!!!
Enoy it all! And share the cake!
Books? Would I be passing them on to an adult or a child? A literate adult? A literate child? My choices would be different depending on the answers-- only because no matter how good I thought something was, it wouldn't mean anything if the other person were not likely to read it (even if to disagree with me).
I guess it wold depend, too, on what part of me I wanted to pass on to a particular person.
-
M. Shayne-- I'm glad you printed the music that you did. The estate of Frank Loesser is less likely to claim royalties than that of the Hill Sisters.
-
Happy Birthday to Joey!
I'm fighting off a mild cold and I have a busy day here at the office so I probably will not be around much (like I was around all weekend???)
Later, gaters.
-
I said "Oy! What a day I had today!" enough last week that I'm hoping I do not feel compelled to say it after this day.
-
and I will have to think about the other 2 books
Only five books? I hadn't even got to GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES, the greatest book ever written about the American economic state of mind!
DRMichaelShayne, I loved the Liza Diaries! Oy! ROTFLMAO, as DRJose would say.
Thank you.

Happiest of birthdays to DR Joey!
I'm working another Tuesday-Saturday week this week, so today I can "get domestic." Planning to grocery-shop and cook a lovely fried chicken dinner for DH Richard.
DR Jane - It was so nice to have you back yesterday and to hear all about your trip to Portland, my home town. Are you OK after your mishap?
-
TOD - I would pass along the following books about books:
Book Lust: Recommended Reading for Every Mood, Moment, and Reason, by Nancy Pearl
Booknotes: America's Finest Authors on Reading, Writing, and the Power of Ideas, by Brian Lamb
Books that Made the Difference: What People Told Us, by Gordon and Patricia Sabine
How Reading Changed My Life, by Anna Quindlen
Stifled Laughter: One Woman's Story about Fighting Censorship, by Claudia Johnson (a cautionary tale)
-
Books to pass on. Hmmm...
The Road Less Traveled -- M. Scott Peck
Wait 禅il Next Year -- Doris Kearns Goodwin
Sophie's Choice -- William Styron
Walden -- Henry David Thoreau
To Kill a Mockingbird -- Harper Lee

FIve books to pass down:
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare
TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL by Anne Frank
THE GRAPES OF WRATH
CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

I have no idea who Buster and Tessie are.
-
My attendance is going to be spotty today as I am leaving in a minute to go do some errands, and I'll be out this afternoon doing more of the same and also having lunch with a friend. I also have rehearsal tonight.
I'll check in when I can.
-
Oh my, oh my, oh my! I was going through some boxes the other day, looking for an important item which I never found.
But I did find some old Playbills, among them Jerry Robbins' revival of West Side Story in 1980, back before Joey was born.
It seems two of the leads were out that night, and their parts were taken by their understudies. Specifically, I saw The Sexiest Man Alive as Tony, and Jerry ("What Ever Happened To") Colker as Riff.
Unfortunately, the only part of the performance that sticks in my memory is the dancing and wondering "how can they &*%$#&@ do that in stiletto heels?"
-
I wonder if we can convince BK to take along a video camera to the Porgy and Bess screening and secretly tape it.
-
Unfortunately, the only part of the performance that sticks in my memory is the dancing and wondering "how can they &*%$#&@ do that in stiletto heels?"
I remember once coming home from a performance of A Chorus Line and feeling depressed as hell because I realized that I would never ever be able to dance like that.
-
Greetings all. And a Happy Passover to those who celebrate.
The five books (aside from the ones given to Moses and my people) that I would pass on are:
The Season by William Goldman
The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde
Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger (or possibly Franny & Zooey)
The Ethan Mordden "Buddies" trilogy
And, why, yes, The Old Testament.
-
Happy Birthday, Joey! :D :D :D

DR Stuart, how's that production of Murderers coming along?
-
Back from two errands and just popping in to see what's going on. I have a lunch date with close friends in a bit. Be back later.
-
DR Stuart, how's that production of Murderers coming along?
Why, thank you for asking, DR DtM. It opened this past weekend, and has performances this coming weekend as well.
It's fine, but not quite the thrill ride I had expected it to be. It might have been a bit better if there were some spurting blood during the carnage, and if the body parts had been weighted more properly, so they didn't bounce around like.....like....(wait for it....) like so much fish. Or if it was directed like a thriller, with a wee bit of suspense. While entertaining, it is being played for laughs to some degree, which makes the final denouement that much more unsatisfying.
-
Do other DRs who've been on the stage tend to remember other people's lines, even years later? After looking at DR Donna's avatar, I am recalling:
"Rabbits! All of us here--rabbits! Hippity-hopping in our Walt Disney world!"
Who can guess what play that is from?

Ach--that's a shame. But from what I remember it is a difficult piece, dramatically and technically. A lot of fine lines between suspense and comedy. But I still wish I could get up there to see it. It's one of my favorite plays that I've never seen on stage and it would have been interesting to finally see it on its feet.

To Kill A Mockingbird
The Bible

Good Morning!
I'm back to my usual schedule... Out of bed right before Noon... Ah, well...
Today I MUST, MUST, MUST start packing up some stuff or come this weekend I shall be in quite the frenzy and in a tizzy. If I can sort out the clothes in my closet today - as well as in the two laundry baskets sitting on my bedroom floor - that will be some major progress. Most everything after that will consist of boxing up boxes-o-stuff.
I'm gonna continue to wake up for the next half hour, and then from 1:00-5:00 the TV shall remain off, the computer off too.
-And, yes, I don't "really" want to do this, but I know that once I get this done, a whole new world will be opening up to me. Onward and upward.
-
Happy Birthday, DR Joey![/i][/size][/color]
-
Given elmore's eloquent reasoning, I shall pass down an omnibus edition featuring all three Kritzer books.
-
My Five Books:
The Bible - Both Testaments
The Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - Michael Chabon
The Chronicles of Narnia - C.S. Lewis - At least "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe"
To Kill A Mocking Bird - Harper Lee
Letters to a Young Poet - Rainer Maria Rilke
And those are my five for right now, 12:45EDT, 4/25/2005.

Thank you for all the wonderful birthday wishes! My computer is still not back, and it sounds like it won't be until at least Wednesday.

At the end of George Pal's The Time Machine, Alan Young notices that a number of books are missing from Rod Taylor's library (all from the same shelf, if I recall correctly.) He asks the housekeeper what five(?) books she thinks Taylor took with him back to the future. Young delivers the line in such a way as that the answer should be fairly evident, but for the life of me I can't think of anything more obvious than The Bible. What could the other four books have been?
-
Well, the clock is about to strike One, so...
Laters...
-
Since Taylor is basically playing Herbert George Wells, maybe they're The Invisible Man, War of the Worlds, etc.
I shall now be on my way to the Hills of Beverly to see Ye Olde Doctor. I shall return soon thereafter.
-
Get busy DRJOSE. You will be glad you did Come Saturday Morning.
Lucy's hair in THE LONG LONG TRAILER looks so blonde. Did she go blonde for the movie? It is Ansco Color with the print by Technicolor, but the skin tones look pretty good and her lips are plenty RED...hmmmmmmm I can't find anything that says she changed it for the movie, but I am not sure.

Btw, DR MattH, I agree with your comments about last night's recap of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. There have been so many secrets this season, it is very hard to keep track of everything (even if you watch every episode). Some of the secrets, I knew, but had sort of forgotten. ANd it really helped seeing everything again!
-
Five books...
The Joy of Cooking, by Rombauer and Becker. Not the new version, the older one.
Culinary Artistry, by Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page. Great for getting ideas together for dinner.
Hirshfeld On Line. Some books aren't eloquent with their words, and don't have to be.
The Silent Gondoliers, by William Goldman.
How Long Has This Been Going On, by Ethan Mordden.
-
Happy Birthday, Joey.
Is this your 20th or 21st?
-
TOD - another take:
In the May issue of O: The Oprah Magazine, novelist and critic Vince Passaro lists the following "Five Books Everyone Should Read at Least Once:"
Lolita, by Vladimir Nabokov
Four Quartets, by T. S. Eliot
The Wisdom of the Desert, translated by Thomas Merton
Waiting for Godot, by Samuel Beckett
Things Fall Apart, by Chinua Achebe
-
JRand. Love your new do. But do something with that skin problem.

DR Laura, I've never heard of the play, but this is what I found about it on line.
A play about tolerance, coming of age, living and loving. Elizabeth Ann Willow, a girl with disability, struggles not only with her wheelchair and leg braces, but also with the fear and anxiety of the community in which she lives.
Here is a link to an article about it. The article is very long so I won't put it here. You don't need to register at this site to read the article.

Happy cakeday to Dear Reader Joey! And to Buster and Tessie, whoever they are.
This morning, I went to the Quickie Mart for breakfast (a Cherry Coke and a thing of Werther's candy), and the lady in front of me at the soda fountain was getting a Cherry Coke, but it was coming out all clear. We were both very distressed. She got Diet Coke and told the girl at the counter that the Cherry Coke was out of order. I just stood there PLOTZING until it got fixed. But I am happy to report that the Cherry Coke is back in working order, so everything is OK.
Whew!
And now, back to my Rhetoric/ F. Scott Fitzgerald term paper.

A Note to DR Jose on "A Yard of Cherry Coke":
from http://www.ensoc.canterbury.ac.nz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=43&Itemid=69 (http://www.ensoc.canterbury.ac.nz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=43&Itemid=69)
History of the Yard of Ale
The lofty bulb-shaped Long Glass or Yard of Ale, which hangs carefully polished above many an Inn fireplace is a frequent draught used in merry making. The oldest Yards in existence date back to the reign of James 1 (1603 to 1625) and are now a valued rarity. Feats of drinking have always been a speciality of the English nation from the beginning of history. At no time was the Yard intended for normal daily drinking, but for festive and manly displays of prowess.
In 1617, Young, in his England's Bane, protested that a man had to prove that he could drink "by the Yard" in order to be admitted as "a man of fashion". In 1685 John Evelyn the diarist, mentions "proclaiming the King, at Bromley, his Majesty's health being drunk in a "flint glass a yard long". A Yard of Ale is normally between 30 and 36 inches in length, horn shaped and with a bulbous base. The original capacity ranged from 2 3/4 to 3 ｽ pints (1.5 to 2.0 litres).
Drinking the yard is an art in itself. The bulb of the glass should be firmly and steadily raised by the right hand extended as far as possible along the stem. To satisfy the strictest standards there should be a continuous intake of beer by the consumer from the time the glass is raised until it is held triumphantly upside down as a sign of victory, called flooring the long glass
The Guinness Book of Records records 5 seconds as the fastest consumption of a Yard

Joe and I went for a walk last week, and this is what we saw:

And this is Joe looking at it:

We also saw a schvan. Sorry, I'm no DR DearReaderLaura, but I try.
-
Actually, my pictures come out surprisingly well for a credit-card digital camera with no settings whatsoever.
In the top one, you can see a small pond at Sunken Meadow Park, and in the distance the Long Island Sound.
-
I noticed DUBARRY WAS A LADY was on this morning. Not a great musical. Lucy dubbed by Martha Mears.
-
Whew! I am tired after all this running around today. And came home to find my digital cable out of commmission, and '24' coming on tonight. Guess I'll be recording it on videotape from analog cable in my bedroom. Sometimes, high tech ain't so high!
-
A friend also loaned me TROY to watch at some point over the next weeks or so. At 160+ minutes, when I'll find time to squeeze that in among the other things I wanted to see, well, I just don't know.
-
Good Afternoon!
Yes, I know it's not 5:00 yet, but...
The closet and the two laundry baskets of clothes have been sorted. And sitting in my living room right now are TEN shopping bags of clothes that will be donated to Diversity Thrift come Wednesday morning. (They're only open Wednesday-Sunday.) Pants, shorts, sweaters, sweatshirts, t-shirts, dress shirts, etc. And there are a surprising number of pieces that had only been worn once, or even not at all!
I was particular amazed and confounded at the number of jeans, pants, slacks and shorts that I kept from "three waist sizes" ago. 22 pairs! 22?!?!?!?!?
As I started reassembling everything left in my bedroom, I found a few more things to add to the bags. Hoo and Ray!
I did have a few 'emotional' moments while sorting everything. A shirt bought for a certain special occasion. A t-shirt I wore during some cherished time with a friend who is no longer on this earth. Etc., etc., etc. It was nice to let go of some of that "stuff". Finally.
*And it was amazing the number of pieces of clothing I remember buying: which store? the city? the reason? even whether or not is was on sale.
Next stop will be my bookshelves...
-
While going through my clothes and eyeing various things around my apartment, I realized that the best and easiest and most expedient thing to do with some of my "questionable" stuff would be to box and bag it up and donate that stuff to Diversity Thrift too. If I end up giving away something with some sort of monetary value, so be it. The more I hold on to it... well, the more I hold on to it. I do know which things I will not give away, will always keep, but there are a couple of things I know that I can part with easily.
We shall see...
A big part of this stack will be my VHS tapes. I will be keeping the show and recital tapes, but anything commercial will most likely go to the thrift store. And there are a couple of commercial releases that are still wrapped in plastic! And I have the DVD version of it too! And it's still wrapped in plastic too!
-
DR WFO - A Yard! But, of course!!! Especially since I usually have a Yard whenever I go to Epcot!
;)
<hiccup>
-
I also put a few CDs this afternoon...
I had forgotten just how much Dennis DeYoung altered Ira Gershwin's lyric to "Someone To Watch Over Me"....ugh! But I still do like the album, "10 On Broadway".
-
Well, since it's a bright and sunny day here, I'm gonna go ahead and go for a walk...

This morning I went for a walk, and this is what I saw:
-
Great photos DRWFO! Hi, Joe!
Another great photo from DRLAURA.
DRSWW - is that Peggy in that photo with you in your new avatar?
-
DR LAURA - I saw "And They Dance Real Slow in Jackson" many years ago, and met the author Jim Leonard Jr, a fellow Hoosier. He also wrote "The Diviners", another nice play.
"Jackson" is pretty much summed up in the reviews at the link, it is a touching play, and if you have a good cast and director it will be a nice evening - I enjoyed it, although it was a BIT heavy. There is a nice bit of humor in some of the characters that helps the evening along A LOT!
-
DR RLP - those ARE porcelain veneers!
-
I got home at noon, only to find Adelphia completely out. I just got back online - I tell you, they're hopeless these people.
What a strange doctor visit I had. I'm what is known as a "gagger" (I wouldn't have it any other way) - what this means is that when the doctor tries to shove a mirror down your throat to get a close look at you larynx or whatever he's trying to get a close look, you sort of gag, a natural human reaction if you ask me. But, because he couldn't get the look he needed he decided to go in with a little video device. Well, little did I know what that meant. First he sprayed some absolutely hideous burning awful stuff into my throat. After two minutes it felt like there was a golf ball in there - perfectly normal, said the doctor. He then stuck some cotton WAY up my nose - this cotton apparently had some sort of anesthetic on it. I was then taken to another room where a long snakey thing was inserted WAY up my nose and all the way down to my larynx. Well, he got a good look that way. The good news was that other than it being slightly swollen, there was nothing else wrong. So, he gave me some sort of shot and said I'll be perfectly perfect way in advance of the session. He suggested I come back Thursday for one more shot. It took forty minutes for the golf ball effect to go away, but the burning sensation and taste is still there. I never in all of this had a sore throat, but this burning stuff sure is making me feel like I do. So, I'll take it easy today and tonight, and start doing some minor vocalizing tomorrow. I feel pretty good except for the burning sensation.
He did warn me that this is going to be the worst allergy season in years, because of the rain.
-
Yes, this is Peggy. She jumped the fence, after seeing der B and me in the front yard and wanting to join us, and der B insisted on taking the pic when I carried her back.
I'm the greyer one, and she's got prettier ears.
-
I hope your throat gets residuals!

I am back after an insanely busy weekend. I only skimmed the notes for the last two days and probably missed tons, but here are some responses to various things I saw:
Pavane. Mr. Faure wrote a plain ol' Pavane (try to listen to Hubert Laws' jazz rendition--stunning. Mr. Ravel wrote the one for the deceased royalty type person.
Passover. Passover seders extend over 2 nights. Orthodox folk will celebrate for both nights. Those of us from more, ahem, assimilated backgrounds usually just do the first night. The reason it has two nights is that the calendar keepers in ancient Israel would need to calculate when it was, then they would send runners out to the Diaspora, and it would take them so long that the furthest away would have to celebrate on the second night.
That Sunday That Summer. I probably posted about this years ago, but I used to Music Direct for a wonderful singer who went on to become Debbie Reynolds' opening act in Vegas for a long time. Anyway she wanted to to "That Sunday That Summer" and learned it off the NKC rendition. When we ran it for the first time, on the first line she suddenly sang, "It puts you leaving that Sunday." At which point I stopped abruptly and asked "What did you just say?" And she indignantly replied "It puts you leaving that Sunday," as if it made perfect sense (not to mention that the appogiaturic stress was off on leaving--making it leavING). So anyway she started arguing but her sister who was there concurred that "It puts you leaving" made no sense whatsover and so we went and listened again and corrected the lyric. Later I presented her with a songlist where I had interpolated "It puts you leaving" into all the song titles. She pretended to be amused. ;)
-
Happy Birthday, Joey.
Is this your 20th or 21st?
It's my 20th. No longer a teenager yet not old enough to drink. It's sort of a limbo year...

He asks the housekeeper what five(?) books she thinks Taylor took with him back to the future. Young delivers the line in such a way as that the answer should be fairly evident, but for the life of me I can't think of anything more obvious than The Bible. What could the other four books have been?
Shakespeare, Fox's Book of Martyrs, Chaucer, Fanny Hill.

Yes, this is Peggy. She jumped the fence, after seeing der B and me in the front yard and wanting to join us, and der B insisted on taking the pic when I carried her back.
I'm the greyer one, and she's got prettier ears.
Don't sell yourself short. I thought you had pretty ears when I met you!

What a strange doctor visit I had. I'm what is known as a "gagger" (I wouldn't have it any other way) - what this means is that when the doctor tries to shove a mirror down your throat to get a close look at you larynx or whatever he's trying to get a close look, you sort of gag, a natural human reaction if you ask me. But, because he couldn't get the look he needed he decided to go in with a little video device. Well, little did I know what that meant. First he sprayed some absolutely hideous burning awful stuff into my throat. After two minutes it felt like there was a golf ball in there - perfectly normal, said the doctor. He then stuck some cotton WAY up my nose - this cotton apparently had some sort of anesthetic on it. I was then taken to another room where a long snakey thing was inserted WAY up my nose and all the way down to my larynx. Well, he got a good look that way. The good news was that other than it being slightly swollen, there was nothing else wrong. So, he gave me some sort of shot and said I'll be perfectly perfect way in advance of the session. He suggested I come back Thursday for one more shot. It took forty minutes for the golf ball effect to go away, but the burning sensation and taste is still there. I never in all of this had a sore throat, but this burning stuff sure is making me feel like I do. So, I'll take it easy today and tonight, and start doing some minor vocalizing tomorrow. I feel pretty good except for the burning sensation.
He did warn me that this is going to be the worst allergy season in years, because of the rain.
~~~Health Vibes to BK!!~~~
And how is Guy Haines doing?? Has he recorded everything that he needs to for the new CD??
And BK, your "gagger" story reminds me of a dentist story. Last year, I went to the dentist and they were able to tell that I breathed through my mouth when I was asleep. The dental hygienist said, "Yup, he's a mouth breather," like it was a derogatory remark!

That Sunday That Summer. I probably posted about this years ago, but I used to Music Direct for a wonderful singer who went on to become Debbie Reynolds' opening act in Vegas for a long time. Anyway she wanted to to "That Sunday That Summer" and learned it off the NKC rendition. When we ran it for the first time, on the first line she suddenly sang, "It puts you leaving that Sunday." At which point I stopped abruptly and asked "What did you just say?" And she indignantly replied "It puts you leaving that Sunday," as if it made perfect sense (not to mention that the appogiaturic stress was off on leaving--making it leavING). So anyway she started arguing but her sister who was there concurred that "It puts you leaving" made no sense whatsover and so we went and listened again and corrected the lyric. Later I presented her with a songlist where I had interpolated "It puts you leaving" into all the song titles. She pretended to be amused. ;)
Okay, I'll admit that I don't know the song...or who NKC is. So JMK, who is NKC and what's the correct line?? Inquiring minds want to know! ;D

Good Afternoon!
Back from my walk. And a glorious walk it was. Just what I needed after going through my clothes and clothes and clothes. And just plain nice to get out of the apartment for a bit. Great weather too! Blue skies, and upper 60s!
And, now the evening...
Hmm...

After the exam, the doctor showed me the video. I'd never seen my own laynx before - it was quite disgusting-looking. He even gave me three photos, but be thankful I shan't be sharing such delicate items.

It would surely be that Sunday
The day that I met you
As Mr Kauffman is not on the board at present.

Don't sell yourself short. I thought you had pretty ears when I met you!
You flirt you! :-*
We've got to teach Peggy not to jump the fence. She could get in a lot of trouble with that habit...and I'm not fit enough to go chasing after her every time! ::)

Heck, I'm glad you're not a smoker, which would have made the pics even worse!

Since Taylor is basically playing Herbert George Wells, maybe they're The Invisible Man, War of the Worlds, etc.
LOL! I can picture Taylor's Wells setting up a book fair table for the puzzled Eloi, trying to make a sale.

Is this a slow news day here at haineshisway.com? What on earth is going on? Is it a vacation? Siesta? I'm curious.
-
Ugh! I occasionally try to watch Extra or Access Hollywood, but every time I do there is a story about Paris Hilton or Ashton Kutcher or both and I have to switch over to a King of Queens rerun.
-
All right, hainsie/kimlet pardners, y'all better strap on yer six shooters 'cause I intend to put a stop to this errant and truant bushwa.
-
Yes, and somehow Marianne had morphed "It would surely be that Sunday" to "It puts you leaving that Sunday." It still cracks me up--I can hear her singing it, then, even funnier, growing more and more indignant as her sister and I insisted it didn't make any sense. ;D

Passover. Passover seders extend over 2 nights. Orthodox folk will celebrate for both nights. Those of us from more, ahem, assimilated backgrounds usually just do the first night. The reason it has two nights is that the calendar keepers in ancient Israel would need to calculate when it was, then they would send runners out to the Diaspora, and it would take them so long that the furthest away would have to celebrate on the second night.
When I lived with my Jewish friend in Seattle for several years, his mother, who by then had a only a small condo, would move in to the house with us for Passover. They were an Orthodox family, so they held both sedars. The first year his mother sat me down the evening before the start of Passover, and in an attempt to help me understand said,
"Listen Tom, we like to think of this first night as a kind of dress rehearsal."
It worked for me.

Bruce last week a friend in Chicago told me he was going to his first Orthodox Seder. I told him to eat something before leaving home. Should I have given you the same advice?

I just read on Playbill.com: Will Cyndi Lauper Make "The Worst Pies in London" for New Broadway Sweeney Todd? (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/92550.html) :o Nothing's official, of course, but it says that she's auditioned for the part. We'll see. ::)

Here are some more excerpts from the Liza Diaries
My town car was stuck in traffic on the way to the Helen Hayes. I had the driver pull the plug for my portable blender, shoved the whole thing into my purse, and jumped out, yelling "I'll take it from here, Buster!" I didn't make it two blocks into Times Square when a funny looking man in a marvelous raincoat stopped me. "Hey, cutie," he whispered, "how 'bout a little company?" So I did ten bars of "Being Alive" and still made my 8:00 show. Fans - you gotta love 'em!
I had just finished a congratulatory note to Totie Fields for her Emmy win as "Sybil," when a young woman rang my doorbell. I had Bobbi, my pianist, take my dry cleaning to the door. He came back moments later, clothes still in hand. "Z," he said, "She says she's Tina Minnelli, your half-sister." "Half-sister?" I gasped, "Has she been in an accident?" Then he explained it to me and I sent him back to the door to give her an autographed poster of Lucky Lady and a cashmere sweater, gorgeous except for a pesky stain from when mother threw up on me during our duet of "When the Saints Go Marching In" at the Empire Room at the Waldorf. Years later, a psychotherapist at Hazledon told me that the reason I treat my half-sister this way is possibly linked to my being a selfish brat
I'm told that the Studio 54 days were apparently some of my happiest times. That's when men were men - I vaguely remember doing the hustle with Halston, Roddy McDowell's wandering hands, and making out with that smoldering Tony Perkins. Funny, one minute you're dancing with Sylvester in nothing but a glitter headband, and next thing you know you wake up on the set of Rent-A-Cop wearing a medi-lert bracelet with your agent's phone number scrawled on it. And everyone made such a big damned deal about Bianca riding in on that white horse, but nobody seems to remember the scandal the next night when Marisa Berenson and I rode in on Merv Griffin, the three of us dressed as Kukla, Fran and Ollie!

Hmmm..... I still need to get some dinner...
Hmmm....
-
Jane, that would have been excellent advice. I just found what food they had flavorless. When I used to go to my seders the food was incredibly incredible, and one left there feeling as if they'd eaten six meals. Last night, before going home, I stopped and got candy because I was still hungry.
In the if it's not one thing, it's another department: After enduring the Adelphia outage, AOL is now losing its connection every five minutes.

SWW, I like your new avatar and the story that goes with it.
Thanks, but the story isn't all that good. The problem is, Peggy keeps jumping over the fence, and then we have to find her again because she can't (or won't) jump back into the yard.
She's a good dog, but she doesn't understand that the fence is there not as a challenge but for her own protection. Which means that we've got to find her a new home, before she gets lost or hurt.

There'll be some bitch-slappin' at the OK Corral, that much I can tell ya.

8:22 and not a cowpoke in sight on the site. I may as well just shut the jernt down rather than just getting nauseated. The corral closes at nine if we don't get some action in this here saloon.

LA CAGE is going OK. We staged the reprise of "With You on my Arm" tonight with its minimal dancing requirements. Even so, my Albin was struggling to keep up. But we'll get it.

Doris Day is also on in CAPRICE, letterboxed on Fox Movie Channel.
I have it, just for completist sake. It's a pretty terrible movie. I'm not sure which is worse, CAPRICE or THE BALLAD OF JOSIE.

Finally got around to DEADWOOD when I got home from rehearsals. Bullock's wife and lover are in for some serious encounters in the episodes (and seasons) ahead. Wow!

I guarantee my digital cable problems are due to some inexperienced moron uptown who forgot the throw some simple switch when I swapped out my HD digital cable box this morning for a new one with an HDMI connection.

I've been watching the Fox westerns all day, resting my voice, which isn't all that much better yet, from what I can tell. That weird stinging sensation still seems to be on the left side of my throat, from that awful spray. But, hopefully, tomorrow will be a beautiful day and I shall be able to at least not sound so horse. That said, I did run through one song, one of the ones in a low key with no note higher than a c, and I sounded okay. Plus, I'll have the next shot on Thursday and, if it's absolutely necessary, I can have one the morning of the session. The shot is some sort of steroid and it has amazing powers of removing any swelling from the vocal chords. It's what they frequently give ailing B'way singers.
-
It's always the morons, that's the trouble with the entire planet.
Taking a break, sucking on a Ricola, then will take a nice hot shower, and finish Buffalo Bill.

BK, here's a home remedy my sister sent me, though I don't think I would want to do it:
Sore Throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.
-
Thankfully, I don't have a sore throat. The weird stinging thinging is because of that horrid spray he used, which I think both numbs and enlarges the larynx.
The enlarging (the golf ball effect) and the numbing are pretty much gone, but a bit of that stinging still feels like it's there - not as bad as earlier, so maybe it just takes an evening to completely go away.

Has anyone noticed that dear reader Sandra is just sitting there like a dead herring in the moonlight?
-
I'd forgotten that I'd preordered a few DVDs this week, so I should have quite a lovely bounty arriving, both tomorrow and Wednesday. Pogue shall be getting his Errol Flynn box on the 'morrow, and I shall be getting Rod Serling's Patterns, Boccaccio 70, Divorce, Italian Style, Johnny Guitar (region 2), and a few others I can't remember.

Vibes for BK's throat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That was a really nasty story. Thank you for sharing.
Now it's back to my homework I go. Yay.

Jose I see I知 not the only one who has trouble parting with clothes.;D
Well, dollface, have a swig of this and you'll have no trouble at all... ;D

I was reading the posts, which I have never seen a dead herring doing in the moonlight.

BK - Just keep drinking water. Lots of water. And you may want to lay off the Diet Coke for a day or two.

I'd prefer the sore throat to the vinegar DtM. Too much of the latter lately.
Saggitarians rule! Of course they have an affinity with being hoarse. No groans.

And here's one I've been saving all day:

The five books I would pass along would all be novels with interesting plotz.

A novel idea DtM. Certainly not a spineless attempt.

For non fans of British operetta - Ivor Novello I would pass on.

BK, have you by chance ever picked up the DVD for the Japanese film SCANDEL, starring Toshiro Mifune and Yoshiko (Shirley) Yamaguchi?
It sounds very interesting, but I had never heard of the film before:
A young painter and a popular singer meet very politely by chance at a resort hotel, and scandal-mongering journalists blow it up into a secret romance. The two decide to fight the press in court, and an impoverished old lawyer takes it upon himself to help

Nope, Mr. Haines would not do a duet with the likes of me.

I was home, watching Episode 2 of the Portland, Oregon "Antiques Roadshow." Sadly, I was not seen anywhere in the background. Maybe on next week's episode. Now, "Medium" is about to start. I really like this show. :)

At the library where I work, we just got a new book called "Cowboy Jose (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0399235701/qid=1114491915/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl14/002-0523980-6500818?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)." Of course, every time I walked by it, I thought of our very own Jose! (He's the only Jose that I know.) Here's the picture:

(If it's too big, let me know and I'll actually download it and make it smaller.)

Good Evening!
Well, picture time!
Here's my nephew, John Michael, showing me his nickel - one of those new buffalo headed ones.
-
Not a line with which I would tamper DR George.
-
Now, here's my niece, Alyssa, showing me her nickel.
-
And now the proud Uncle Jojo...
-
Here are my parents - a.k.a. The Anniversary Couple - with their grandchildren, Alexandra, John Michael and Alyssa.
-
And, finally, here is the "donation" I will be making to Diversity Thrift later in the week. -At least the clothing portion.
-
Nice pictures Jose! What a sweet family...and Alyssa is just a charmer!
-
...Of course, after taking these pics with my digital camera - the one that I thought was broken - I now wish I had taken it with me to New York, Memphis and Indy.... Ah, well...
-
Nice photographs, pardner.
Haven't heard of the Mifune film, MBarnum.
-
Thank you.
And now it's time for the Page Seven Dance!!!!
Is there a dance called THE PLOTZ?
If not, there should be!
-
"We love you to Wild Bill!" says the little crippled boy from the grandstands.
BK, the story is that writer Gene Fowler, who was vaguely related to Buffalo Bill, and director William Wellman, who wasn't, wanted to tell the real story of Buffalo Bill and what a bunko artist he was. But after they had fashhioned the story, they realized they couldn't tear down an American Icon. So they got drunk and burned their "true" script of B.B. and wrote the bit of hokum that you've been watching tonight.
-
Plotzvian Dance -- Borodin!! :)
-
And hokum it is, pardner Pogue. It's all over the place - cowboys and indians, family bathos, etc. But, it does sort of make a plea for the indian, and it does show the rich white politic as pretty reprehensible. What the film has going for it is Wellman, McCrea and the astonishingly beautiful Linda Darnell as an indian (I believe she was barely sixteen when she made the film). Maureen O'Hara looks lovely, too, and a young Anthony Quinn is Bill's indian chum.
-
It also features one of those annoying wink-wink, nudge-nudge musical scores by David Buttolph.
-
I believe after three count them three DVDs, I am officially movied out for the evening. Pardner Pogue should figure out whare's the meetin' place to get his Errol Flynn box set. We can meet at the pass.
-
I also have a headache, for which I've just taken two of whatever i had in the cupboard (pills, that is, not Campbell's soup).
-
OK - Off to the Land of the Wussburgers I go...
Goodnight.
-
And now a word from the steaming hot shower.
Perhaps upon my return, Ann will have caught up.
If not, I'm afraid the dear girl is going to have to meet me at the OK Corral for a showdown.
-
I have been at a mind-numbing meeting tonight.
And now that I think about it, she does look rather like a dead herring.
-
Ann has left the room without even looking at the posts. I'm afraid it's Boot Hill for dear reader Ann.
-
The steaming shower was divoon and I feel completely relaxed and my headache is beginning to abate, oh, yes, my headache is beginning to abate.
-
Lovely photos DRJOSE. I think they will probably have a Jose Rack at the Diversity Thrift Shop and a couple of shelves as well!
MR BK - many many many years ago Larry Blyden was hosting a game show called The Movie Game (first host Sonny Fox) a syndicated show that pitted two sets of three celebrities answering questions about movies. And here are some of the things I learned from that show:
Earl Holliman (the BEST player) said that Paramount fully expected him to be nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for THE RAINMAKER and arranged for him to be interviewed by Louella Parsons at the same time the nominations were to be announced....he wasn't nominated, and the whole interview was a bit of an embarrassment to him.
Vera Miles was cast in HOUSE OF WAX with Vincent Price at Warner Bros. She had costume fittings on Friday and went home with her script. She came back on Monday and Phyllis Kirk was doing her role, and she still doesn't know why. Vera would have been GREAT!
-
CAPRICE....well - some say it is the last movie filmed in CinemaScope although there is some controversy about it....maybe it was the last film released in said process. In any case, it is a sad movie. And Doris wears clothes that are just TOO YOUNG for her age....and nothing but WIGS!!! It is a bit embarrassing for everyone involved. I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to make Doris into a teeny-bopper, but whoever it was should be shot!
-
Costume design for CAPRICE by Ray Aghayan. Hmmmmmmm...
-
Oh, hokum, Buffalo Bill is but it is still great fun hokum! We shall we meet, Pard. When will you all be meeting the stage to pick them parcels up. Shall we meet at High Noon? Or one? Or 3:10? We could make the Decision At Sundown.

Elvis Presley was at one time announced for the role of Jimmy in THE RAINMAKER. In fact, he mentions it himself in a radio interview. Wonder who nixed that? Lancaster? Hepburn? Or maybe Col. Tom Parker...Didn't want Elvis overshadowed by bigger stars maybe? Actually, I could see Elvis at that period in his career making a very good Jimmy.
-
New notes momentarily.
I usually pick up them packages around 12:30, but a bit later may be safer to meet up. Let us converse via telegraph on the 'morrow.
