Post by: elmore3003 on March 23, 2024, 05:10:50 AM: I slept quite well last night. By the end of rehearsal, around 6:40, my mind was exhausted. The first half of the rehearsal was the end of Act Two, so I finally heard for the first time the Charleston finale, which was not played for lack of time two weeks ago. Now that I've heard it, I am not happy with it

Post by: elmore3003 on March 23, 2024, 05:17:44 AM: At the moment, it's too big, too boomy, and I'm not sure I can save it without major revisions. So, I spent most of the second half of last night's rehearesal studying the score and making changes. I don't know if I'm doing something good or rearranging the proverbial Titanic deck chairs. I think it will now sound better.

In print, the story is on page 6 of the Arts and Leisure section. Excellent interview with you, Larry! You have four paragraphs!

If any of your neighbors get the Sunday Times delivered, they have it already - Arts and Leisure is one of the sections that arrives on Saturday.

I share the same fear. Dad had it. Mom, at her age, is now doing what Dad always fessed: She’s losing her English, reverting to German, which her caregivers don’t speak.

Oh no, also this is interesting to me. My father spoke some Spanish, however, because his caregivers spoke Spanish he began speaking it more. A few times, only in his home, when he wasn't well he spoke it to me. It was frustrating as I didn't know what he was saying.

My glasses were always expensive and often weren’t correct. Once I had cataract surgery I thought my eyes would be normal and the cost of my glasses would be reduced. Well, not so much. Progressive lenses are just expensive, no matter how you cut it. My health insurance now covers part of it, which really helps. Without insurance, my glasses were about $1000 for frame and lenses, even after promotions. Eye care isn’t cheap.

I thought you corrected your vision to only need distance glasses. Was the astigmatism corrected with your surgery?

I'm now ready to have cataract surgery but need to decide to leave my eyes alone or correct for distance. The doctor is concerned I won't adjust to losing my close up vision and needing reading glasses if I correct my distance vision. I really want to stop wearing glasses all the time.

That's what realistic reverb is for when you're recording in a dead room, which they clearly were. Best way to make a band sound small and for vocals to sound like they're in a small closet. It's all they do these days, at least the ones I've heard. I compared it to our Merrily recording and whichever cast one prefers, one has ambience and one doesn't and frankly if I were to remix ours I'd add a bit more.

Title: Re: THE HOT DOG DAY AFTERNOON
Post by: Ron Pulliam on March 23, 2024, 08:02:42 PM: Tonight, I watched something totally extraordinary!

The Men's Free Skate at the 2024 World Figure Skating Championships ended tonight with the Men's Free Skate competition.

What looked like a shootout between Shoma Uno (first going into the program and world champion the past two years), Yuma Kagiyama (second going into the program and 2nd place in the past world championship) and Ilia Malinin (third going in and last year's 3rd place winner). Less than two points separated 1st place from 3rd place.

Uno skated first in the final grouping, and he was good but made mistakes that seemed to weigh on the rest of his program. His final score put him into second place behind the French skater who had vaulted from 19th place to first place with his earlier free skate!

Next was Kagiyama and his skate was brilliant. he did have a fall that cost him one point, but he was in first place and, seemingly, the title was going to be his. At best, I thought Malinin might finish 2nd, but also might place 3rd.

Malinin skated last. All year, he has improved, but his component scores (artistry) have always suffered compared to his technical scores. Both Uno and Kagiyama had high component scores, but Jason Brown's were higher than any all night and he was in fourth place at this time.

Malinin started out with his quad axel, the hardest jump to do. He landed it first last year and has only trotted it out a couple of times this season. He followed the axel with five more perfectly executed quads, two of which were in the second half of his program (which gave him an additional 10% boost to each jump's value).

To make a long story shorter, he finished the night with the highest technical score ever recorded, and his component score was rather high, as well. He won the competition by 24 points, and he bested Nathan Chen's record combined skating score (224) by nine points (333).

It was a stunning skate, amazing to watch, breathtaking, in fact.

Post by: bk on March 23, 2024, 11:54:42 PM: But we're excusing dear reader George, as he's reading my new book and that, of course, takes precedence, oh, yes, that takes precedence.

Title: Re: THE HOT DOG DAY AFTERNOON
Post by: George on March 23, 2024, 11:56:00 PM: So far, I'm really enjoying reading about BK's process and attitudes about directing.

Post by: bk on March 23, 2024, 11:56:13 PM: Friend Robert Yacko finished the book, was delighted about what I had to say about him, and loved it, especially the earl, formative part of becoming a director.

I see I missed Rodzinski’s birthday and perhaps some others. Sorry, Rodz. Hope it was a good one. To the rest of you, too.

Quite alright, Jeanne! Thank you for the kind words.

Dear reader George, is there anywhere we could do a book signing up your way? Remember when we did one wherever former dear reader JMK was?

That was Portland. There's a Barnes and Noble here in Olympia, and a couple of local bookstores that have had book signings in the past, but the ones that I went to were by local authors.
Title: Re: THE HOT DOG DAY AFTERNOON
Post by: George on March 24, 2024, 12:02:26 AM: I don't know how those are set up. Would someone just contact the bookstores and ask?
Title: Re: THE HOT DOG DAY AFTERNOON
Post by: Rodzinski on March 24, 2024, 12:02:45 AM: I can get you in at my local library.

Would you be more interested in Seattle, or here in (podunk ;) ) Olympia?

Thank you. I wish the Times had copy editors. The show is Kiss Me, Kate. Not Kiss Me Kate.

I wish all publications had writers/editors with a fundamental understanding of punctuation. Sadly, the art seems to have no proponents currently working professionally.

That’s if you don’t count cemetery trade magazines, sir!
