I was up by 5:15 this morning. This is my day with Dr Egelman, cardiologist, to check my heart amd circulation with am echocardiogram, I understand the actual test will take about an hour.  When I am home, I must call Lenox Hill Hospital immediately to let the know if I will be having the hip replacement tomorrow or not.

Yesterday, I had a good time with Joshie at City Center. We've bee friends for around 16 years now, and he still amazes me. I thought I had good ears, but he was hearing things I completely missed in the original cast recording of Once Upon A Mattress, which was recorded by Kapp Records on what I think was a shoestring budget. If Goddard Lieberson had recorded it for Columbia, the sound would have been spectacular and we'd have far fewer questions about what was going on in the small orchestra of around 16-20 players.

I think the most fancy affair I ever attended was the 100th performance-Pulitzer win party at Steve Sondheim's home for Sunday in the Park with George, which was truly spectacular. I think the only thing missing was a band, but since I'm old and my memory is going, there might have been one. The second was the 2009 opening night party for the Broadway revival of Finian's Rainbow.

I am perplexed.

Perplexed, I tell you.

I was up at 2:45 a.m., my sinuses dry as a bone, along with my throat.

I did a sinus rinse, which was an enormous relief.  And then I did a breathing treatment with my nebulizer and that settled me, internally.

Back in bed by 3:15, I was finally able to get comfy.  I slept well.

But those dreams!!  Woof!!

Title: Re: I'M DANCING AS FAST AS I CAN
Post by: Ron Pulliam on September 12, 2023, 06:09:18 AM
Last night, I watched bits and pieces of the MGM Sigmund Romberg "bio-musical" "Deep in My Heart".

I say "bits and pieces" because I simply cannot just sit and watch this film any longer. Jose Ferrer is alternately wonderful and horrible.  He has vast amounts of dialogue, which may or may not be as talky as Romberg, but such monologues just don't work any more (if, in fact, they did in the mid-1950s)

The numbers are very interesting, and a couple are dazzling.  Dazzling is what they were going for.  This movie was a dream project for associate producer/Freed Unit mastermind Roger Edens.   He had Comden and Green to help with the screenplay.

"One Alone", danced by Cyd Charisse and James Mitchell, is too beautiful.  "It", danced by Ann Miller, is amazing.  Merle Oberon as Dorothy Donnelly is beyond glorious, but she does not sing.  Helen Trauble is fun, too.

The most hideous scene in the film was intentional, but I doubt it was meant to be as hideous as it is.   In fact, it seems to have been an afterthought, dropped in (possibly to give Ferrer a "big scene" for Oscar consideration).  The play is "Jazzadoo" that Romberg is working on.   What follows is one of the most egregiously excessive verbal and physical assaults upon the senses.  Yes, "Romi" was meant to be embarrassing himself, but this scene kills the film for me.

The musical highlight for me is the finale...not all the yammer from Ferrer, but the conceit that he has just written a song that he is dedicating to his wife.  He instructs his Carnegie Hall orchestra to pick up on it when they think they have it, and he begins playing and singing "When I Grow Too Old to Dream", 

After the first verse, Ferrer gets up from the piano as the orchestra launches into a beautiful orchestration of the song (impossibly off-the cuff, of course), and then the studio choir (nowhere visible) takes up the song which becomes absolute tears-inducing perfection.

If only the entire movie had aspired to the heights of that finale!

Post by: Ron Pulliam on September 12, 2023, 06:21:04 AM
Another 1950s musical that missed the mark for me, despite some wonderful things, is "It's Always Fair Weather."

This one seems truly bloated, primarily because they were trying desperately to make an impact with CinemaScope and made all the sets oversized rather than filling the screen with people and cars, etc.

Still, it's an interesting story with an original score by Andre Previn.   Two numbers stand out for me: "I Like Myself", with Kelly on roller skates and gorgeous musical orchestrations;  and "Baby, You Knock Me Out", Cyd Charisse (dubbed) dancing with a bunch of boxing trainees in a gym.  A truly wonderful number!!

There is a song called "The Time for Parting" that the three male leads sing at the point where they are returning to their homes after having served in WWII.  It's serviceable, not memorable to me at all, and easily forgettable.   EXCEPT...when they reunite in the same bar where they had sung the song the first time, someone takes up the song and the MGM Studio Choir launches it into a magnificent coda for the film.

I often wonder if the finales to these films were only orchestrated at the end of filming, and if whether the films, themselves, might have aspired to something better had the finale been filmed first.

I attended a swank fundraiser for the McDowell Colony. Can't remember the NYC venue. Jane Alexander was in attendance. At the time, she was the Chairperson of the National Endowment for the Arts. We had a brief conversation in the parking garage after the event.

The opening of a new theater at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Saint Paul. That was a fancy-dress event. Never wear mauve at a Ball.

Standing next to Sondheim prior to the "Follies in Concert" at (the then) Avery Fisher Hall. We did not have a discussion.

Life is too crazy at the moment, so I postponed tomorrow's hip replacement. My fears about my mortality were groundless; the cardiologist said I was fine ad called the EKG scare a machine error. I had a nice assistant who performed the ecocardiogram, which was essentially an ultrasound of my heart. It took about 20 minutes. Dr Egelman then talked to me about the results and we talked about my hip replacement. Between things like the AC issues in the apartment, the anxiety of a week thinking my heart was giving out, and my lack of information post-surgery, he thought postponing the surgery wasn't a bad idea but he strongly urged me to have it done soon.

As to Access-a-Ride, I got a text at 10:40 telling me my ride would arrive in 26 minutes. The text included a phone number for the driver. At 11:00 I took the elevator from the seventh floor and waited in the lobby. Around 11:10 I called AAR to inquire how soon the car would show up, but I got a message: Your call is very important to us so wait until the call is no longer important to you. I left a message like "what;s this goddamned voice mail> Where's my damned car?"

Post by: elmore3003 on September 12, 2023, 11:49:30 AM
I called the main AAR number and got a nice lady who said the car would be thee in two minutes. I called the number I was given for the driver three times. Each time someone picked up the phone, said nothing, and put me on hold. At 11:30 I hailed a taxi and started home. At 11:40 the driver called to tell me he was waiting for me. I told him he was no longer necessary. At 11:45 AAR called me and wanted to know why I rejected the driver, and I told him the whole AAR saga, beginning with the 10:40 text. Traffic in midtown NYC is awful. It took us twelve minutes to get from Fifth Avenue and 47th Street to Sixth Avenue and 59th Street. Once we got to Broadway it was smooth sailing. Still, it cost me $32.00 more than AAR would have cost.

Title: Re: I'M DANCING AS FAST AS I CAN
Post by: ChasSmith on September 12, 2023, 12:00:17 PM
DR Elmore, I am so glad to hear that report from the cardiologist. I didn't say this before, but I suspected that something like that could be the happy result, but I didn't want to jinx it and sure enough it is.  :)

EKGs, like X-rays and other things, are subject to machine errors and to doctors' evaluations as well. In the case of the latter, second opinions should probably be de rigueur, though I say that as someone who hasn't yet gone that route on anything. Anyhoo, I had a routine EKG some fifteen years ago that caused the doc to say "I see one little [something], but no worries, that's common and you're fine. In fact, that was a pre-surgery check, so it really was fine. And earlier this year I had one, also just a routine check, and that doctor said "the EKG looks great!". So I am happy and relieved to hear that you do indeed have the go-ahead on that.

BUT...like the doctor and DR Ron Pulliam and others say, do plan on it sooner rather than later. My particular reason for saying that is that one of my favorite relatives (well, one of my two favorites, and we lost BOTH within the past year) was in dire need of a hip replacement, but she allowed her *ungrounded* fears of the surgery to justify her refusal to have it, and her physical comfort and mobility so badly deteriorated over the next few years that I believe that's what helped finish her off in her early 80s, when she had been assured by all of her doctors all along that she was an excellent candidate for it. I don't want to see that happen to anyone else.

BUT...like the doctor and DR Ron Pulliam and others say, do plan on it sooner rather than later. My particular reason for saying that is that one of my favorite relatives (well, one of my two favorites, and we lost BOTH within the past year) was in dire need of a hip replacement, but she allowed her *ungrounded* fears of the surgery to justify her refusal to have it, and her physical comfort and mobility so badly deteriorated over the next few years that I believe that's what helped finish her off in her early 80s, when she had been assured by all of her doctors all along that she was an excellent candidate for it. I don't want to see that happen to anyone else.



I am very sorry your aunt didn't have the surgery that would likely have given her a better quality of life.

Whatever the reason, it's probably the same as why some people now say "based off of" (which makes no sense) instead of "based on," which is grammatically correct.

Two of those things I can't stand:

"Based off" instead of "based on", and "based out of" instead of "based in".

I originally would hear the latter from salespeople in the industry I worked in. "My company is based out of Denver." No sir, actually, it's based IN Denver. You're welcome.

At lunch, Josh and DR Elmore were talking a little bit about Mattress and I innocently asked why there was so much mystery surrounding the orchestration, whereupon Josh launched into a list of reasons and things to consider that was fairly mindboggling. I would of course have expected that from the DR, so it was fascinating to hear that kind of discussion from the adopted son.

Consider the use of "new record", as in "he set a new record."  Since setting an "old record" isn't possible (although matching an existing record is), a "record" is a "record".

My dad had a 2-record Judy Collins set. There was a period of time where he’d come home from a hard day at the office, put on that album and when “Send in the Clowns” came on, he’d just close his eyes and be transported far away.

Nice.  I've actually seen her in concert three times here in Olympia!  And she sang "Send in the Clowns" all three times.
