Tuesday was Jonathan Tunick's birthday, so I sent him an email. I received a nice reply containing two pieces of music he's been composing during his pandemic sabbatical in Connecticut. One is a choral piece for chorus, piano, and cello solo; the other is a song setting of a poem by Sara Teasdale.

I knew Peter MacNicol in the early 1980s. We used to run into each other in midtown after he was in the Broadway cast of Crimes of the Heart. He was friendly - I can't remember now if he was the Bernard Herrmann fan or if that was another acquaintance - but he always reminded me of a deer in the headlights. Then one day he left NYC for Hollywood and I've never seen him since.

I have enjoyed him in many things from Sophie’s Choice to Ally MacBeal. I liked Dragonslayer in the theater. It was loud and fun. It lost most of its charm on DVD a few decades later.

That song of Sara Tisdale’s poem was on Broadway Records’ collection of work done during and about the pandemic. It was one of my two favorites.

Well the rehearsal went very well....we all wore sweaters and coats.  We did scenes 7,8, & 9 - the end of Act One.

It was a bit ragged, but it was fun.  And of course it was nice to see everyone - and meet the new folks who are making their PCPH debuts in this show.  Only one person was absent.

My next rehearsal is Tuesday - an Act One run through.

I had an okay but obviously too brief three hours sleep from 3 to 6 a.m., following a late night second wind and insomnia that lasted up to that point. My usual drowsy-making tricks all failed me (reading, listening to a movie on TV or the classical FM station at very low volume, etc.). And when I finally was asleep, what was my reward? An annoying dream that included a scene in which I was already awake after having had too little sleep.

I have been to Art's Deli, but we're talking many years ago and I don't even remember thinking about the prices back then. So I got on their website this morning and browsed the menu items a little bit, and BK ain't kidding. What they're charging for yer typical deli sandwich is shocking, but you know what else struck me? The photos of the food. With maybe a couple of exceptions, nothing looked special enough to warrant that level of pricing, and the photos themselves are fairly pedestrian. Everything struck me as kind of ordinary.

If the Carnegie Deli were still with us, the prices would for sure be right up there. But the servings would be humongous and I always loved their food, especially the pastrami. It was always just totally worth it. At the dearly departed Artie's on upper Broadway, you never had that kind of sticker shock, their food was always delicious, and you could sit there and talk forever.

I'm guessing that Art's thrives by having a very established clientele who won't budge until they're carried out feet first, and plenty of movie studio expense accounts.

Thursday morning greetings!  We have survived the April snowstorm, which was very weird.

I hate those late season things. It seems like last April was slow to let go of the little snowfalls, and we've had other years like that. The big one that I remember was the April 1st blizzard of '97. In my memory it dumped something like six or eight inches on us. I know I couldn't get out of the driveway to go to work that day.

I’m listening to him read it. It’s a good performance of a fairly unlikable character. When he’s strung out on coke, he’s revved up, reading fast, etc., so it’s more than a reading. It’s making things slightly more palatable. But I doubt I’ll remember much, say, in a week or two.

Got a question:

I'm sorting through some CDs and I have this BK one called Rare Tracks that DR George was kind enough to make for me. What I don't remember is which book it went with. I got here after all of these had come and gone, so that's the only one I have.

If I recall the conversation correctly when BK was looking for this one, there had been a few others as well. Which books had them, and who's got them now? (Maybe the answer is always: DR George.)  :)   Because I'd love to get the rest sometime.

DR George, I think Mr Russell's artwork is very good for what he's illustrating, but like the artwork recommended by two other friends, he's not the illustrator for my cat tales.

That totally makes sense. :)

Tuesday was Jonathan Tunick's birthday, so I sent him an email. I received a nice reply containing two pieces of music he's been composing during his pandemic sabbatical in Connecticut. One is a choral piece for chorus, piano, and cello solo; the other is a song setting of a poem by Sara Teasdale.

That's so cool!

Has anyone here ever sampled one of Mr. Yap's  d i g i m i x  remasterings?  Do they really sound any different?

No. Life is too short. If I already have one of his recordings, there's no way I'm falling for this new this new con.

How is his La Mancha? I've never heard it.

I spent $1 on it. Haven’t listened to it yet.

I received three packages from Chewy.com via Fed Ex today. One weighed about 3 lbs., one weighted 6 lbs., and one weighed 40 lbs.  The jerk Fed Ex delivery person didn't bring them into the building where other packages are left. He left them in the vestibule, just the front door, where things can be easily stolen so he didn't have to deal with five steps to the lobby. So, I had to painfully get down the steps, and open the inside door to the vestibule and crawl on the floor to separate my packages from the others he dumped there. Then, to add insult insult to injury, my neighbor Mark who was going out, held the door for me and watched me wrestle with the packages, drag myself to my feet, and didn't do one damned thing to help me with the stairs.

The 40 lb. carton sits at the bottom of the stairs now, and I have filed a complaint with Fed Ex.

I've gotten a couple.  I haven't listened to my original CDs in years (they're in boxes somewhere in my house and/or garage) but the new discs did sound good.  You probably don't need to get any unless you never got the original releases or are REALLY picky about the sound of recordings.  I'm not that picky. ::)

I "ass"umed that's what y'all were referring to, since I got the email about it this morning.

Has he ever clearly stated what is meant by "digimix"? I looked for a definition once and I don't believe I found anything satisfactory.

According to Jay's website (http://www.jayrecords.com/digimix/):
Quote
After years of working on finding a way to Digitally ReMix two tracks Master recordings, JAY and its team of Engineers have pioneered a system to successfully Digitally ReMix from existing two track Master Recordings.  This is completely different from the process of just transferring the two track Master Recordings Digitally on to CDs or Downloads.   We at JAY are actually ReMixing the voices and the orchestra of those two track Master recordings using our exciting and exclusive DigiMIX system.

Got a question:

I'm sorting through some CDs and I have this BK one called Rare Tracks that DR George was kind enough to make for me. What I don't remember is which book it went with. I got here after all of these had come and gone, so that's the only one I have.

If I recall the conversation correctly when BK was looking for this one, there had been a few others as well. Which books had them, and who's got them now? (Maybe the answer is always: DR George.)  :)   Because I'd love to get the rest sometime.

Actually...would you like MP3 files (https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/hix7mg) or WAV files (https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/cc50qw)? :)

If anyone is interested, the Stratford Festival's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_1Ricuv8kk5oUwJn4K4r7Q) is streaming their 2014 production of King Lear featuring Colm Feore (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2OXZhpBRws). :)

I saw that earlier. I hope I can find the time to watch it.

Went to a party tonight during what would have been Fiesta in most any other year. Got to wear my medals from last year, which was fun. It was a fundraiser for a museum that a friend's family has supported for decades. This year, Gail's Fiesta gown from the mid-1970s was chosen as the design for the Fiesta medal. Sadly they didn't have the medals in yet.

But they did have chicken on a stick, which is a local treat that is hard to resist. Imagine a chicken cutlet, pounded flat and deep-fried. It's then skewered with a pickled jalapeno on top. You bite into the pepper and the juices drip down on to the chicken. Spectacular. Can't tell you how much I missed this simple treat.

And they had corn in cup, a Mexican street food. They shear steaming hot kernels off a cob of corn into a cup and top it with mayo and chile powder. It sounds fairly nasty. It's heaven.

Jeanne, not only have I talked to Walter, he'll be doing the May Kritzerland show. We must talk about Mary Lee Gowland, who I've been in touch with on Facebook. I just don't remember her much and am thinking maybe I should? Her father was a famous photographer - did Playboy and other stuff a lot back in the day.

I was feeling miserable after work and took some Advil and had a three hour nap

I was feeling much better after the nap and was able to eat my dinner

But when I was getting ready for bed I accidentally hit one of the stitched areas with my toothbrush.

Rare Tracks came with There's Mel, There's Woody, and There's You, if I recall correctly. The three Kritzer books all had CDs and so did Writer's Block. That's it, I think.


Which one had The Bus and Truck CD?
