So, I compared the two different tapes of Play On! (the "!" is part of the title) and the one recorded on the SP speed is better that the one taped on LP (I expected that) and the digital copy that I already had, which is a nice surprise. :)

After I finished watching The Big Combo last night, I spent some time looking thropugh Francis Collinson's wonderful book Orchestration for the Theatre. I had recommended it to my arranging student, but I hadn't looked at it in years. I thought I'd better check it out again. It's such a wonderful read.

Collinson was the music director for London producer Charles Cochran. He conducted the 1935 London production of Anything Goes.

A most unusual thing happened yesterday evening!

I went into my bedroom and noticed, out my window, some flashing lights out on the street.  Peering out that window I saw what looked like a huge pile of dead foliage on the edge of my yard.

I went out and saw that our energy company trucks were out there as was a neighbor.  I asked my neighbor what was going on, and it seems one of the trees on the edge of my yard had given up the ghost during a thunderstorm and had fallen across a power line.  Happily, the line had not gone down, and the power company folks were in the process of ensuring said tree would be removed.  It was raining, so i came back in the house fully expecting a knock on my door, but that never happened.  I see this morning that the tree was taken down and now occupies the edge of my yard.

I have zero idea of what will come next.  I would think they will bill me for their efforts in removing my tree from their power line, And I will have to hire someone to haul off the remnants of the tree.

As Roseanne Roseannadanna would say, "It's always somethin'"!

I feel like the proverbial truck ran over me... but in a good way.

Getting home after seeing the show and hanging around with friends afterward, I was up till ALL HOURS. So I got to sleep at approximately all hours o'clock and woke up three (count 'em) hours later, feeling deader than a doornail. What IS a doornail, anyway? I don't think we have any here on our doors. I shall have to check that out. Anyhoo, I laid awake feeling like total crap for an hour, and thankfully fell back to sleep. It just happened that Nathan had the morning off so I wasn't awakened by a starving feline, or even a starving felon, and when I finally awoke it was 9:30 in the a.m. which is practically unheard of these days. I'm already on my second coffee (there'll be more to come), and here I am.

The show was great. And for a number of reasons. This was the first of the two shows this season following the marathon auditioning I played for a few months back, and I have to say they did an incredible job of casting. But all the elements were in place. The direction, choreography, costumes, sets, and the small but extremely well balanced orchestra (8 or 9 players) were as good as - or possibly better than - anything I've seen at this theeder in the 30 years I've been attending and occasionally participating.

It's a high water mark that coincides with the amazing renovations they've just gotten done with:  new stage and wings (this is outdoors), new concession stand and tech booth and restrooms (it had been port-a-potties for years), and other improvements to the property that would take a long time to explain. The long delay for it was due to the wait for city funding (it's on an old estate which has been city property for years), but once the funding starting coming through, they seem to be doing everything right with it. There's more to come in the future - namely, a roof over the stage, a permanent orchestra "pavilion" to replace the tents they've been using, and I don't know what else.

Could be a brain fart, but I don't believe I've known of that book. It sounds wonderful, as does your teaching/mentoring project. In spite of music having been the central aspect of my life, I never for one minute believed I had what it takes to literally teach, and my hat is off to those who have the calling and the skill. It certainly does sound like you should take on another student or two or three.

When I moved into this building, my neighbor in 3D was at the time a very unpleasant retired librarian. He drove the neighbor above him in 4D crazy with his constant demands that he stop being noisy after midnight. At one point the police showed up around 3:00a.m. to check on the noise. Only . . . my neighbor was sound asleep; there wasn't any noise, although the librarian claimed there was.

Well, last night, around 8:30, noise began above me, as if someone were slamming furniture down, and it continued after I went to bed. The cats heard it and reacted. I woke around 3:45 this morning, and the noise was continuing. I think the ghosts are throwing a party or furiture at each other.

Yes, I had meant to say that. For some reason which we've never been able to figure out, Kristi has hated eating corn on the cob since she was a kid. But she loves the corn itself. Just take a knife and shave it off the cob, and Bob's yer uncle.

(He might be DR Jrand73's uncle anyway, for all I know. If not, this will definitely make him one.)

DR Elmore - coincidentally, someone in the Musical Theatre Orchestration group on FB just posted about Robert Russell Bennet's Instrumentally Speaking, which he's reading at the NYPL since it can't be checked out. He included photos of a bunch of individual pages, and it looks utterly fascinating. I would zip right through something like that myself, even though I have no earthly reason for doing so other than to further my own appreciation for the craft. And for learning more about the instruments themselves.

Well I fell asleep unexpectedly last night and then woke up unexpectedly at 4 am and despite best efforts have been unable to go back to sleep

I too have been awake since 4:00 which is an improvement over yesterday when I woke up at 2:00.

A most unusual thing happened yesterday evening!

I went into my bedroom and noticed, out my window, some flashing lights out on the street.  Peering out that window I saw what looked like a huge pile of dead foliage on the edge of my yard.

I went out and saw that our energy company trucks were out there as was a neighbor.  I asked my neighbor what was going on, and it seems one of the trees on the edge of my yard had given up the ghost during a thunderstorm and had fallen across a power line.  Happily, the line had not gone down, and the power company folks were in the process of ensuring said tree would be removed.  It was raining, so i came back in the house fully expecting a knock on my door, but that never happened.  I see this morning that the tree was taken down and now occupies the edge of my yard.

I have zero idea of what will come next.  I would think they will bill me for their efforts in removing my tree from their power line, And I will have to hire someone to haul off the remnants of the tree.

As Roseanne Roseannadanna would say, "It's always somethin'"!



Oh my.

Last night one of the actresses in the show brought some sweet corn from her garden.  I got six unshucked ears.

Since I can't eat it with my partial plate....I will offer them to my brother.

I'm sorry you can't eat them.

I feel like the proverbial truck ran over me... but in a good way.

Getting home after seeing the show and hanging around with friends afterward, I was up till ALL HOURS. So I got to sleep at approximately all hours o'clock and woke up three (count 'em) hours later, feeling deader than a doornail. What IS a doornail, anyway? I don't think we have any here on our doors. I shall have to check that out. Anyhoo, I laid awake feeling like total crap for an hour, and thankfully fell back to sleep. It just happened that Nathan had the morning off so I wasn't awakened by a starving feline, or even a starving felon, and when I finally awoke it was 9:30 in the a.m. which is practically unheard of these days. I'm already on my second coffee (there'll be more to come), and here I am.

Lovely.

The show was great. And for a number of reasons. This was the first of the two shows this season following the marathon auditioning I played for a few months back, and I have to say they did an incredible job of casting. But all the elements were in place. The direction, choreography, costumes, sets, and the small but extremely well balanced orchestra (8 or 9 players) were as good as - or possibly better than - anything I've seen at this theeder in the 30 years I've been attending and occasionally participating.

It's a high water mark that coincides with the amazing renovations they've just gotten done with:  new stage and wings (this is outdoors), new concession stand and tech booth and restrooms (it had been port-a-potties for years), and other improvements to the property that would take a long time to explain. The long delay for it was due to the wait for city funding (it's on an old estate which has been city property for years), but once the funding starting coming through, they seem to be doing everything right with it. There's more to come in the future - namely, a roof over the stage, a permanent orchestra "pavilion" to replace the tents they've been using, and I don't know what else.

That's amazing, ChasSmith!

DR Elmore - coincidentally, someone in the Musical Theatre Orchestration group on FB just posted about Robert Russell Bennet's Instrumentally Speaking, which he's reading at the NYPL since it can't be checked out. He included photos of a bunch of individual pages, and it looks utterly fascinating. I would zip right through something like that myself, even though I have no earthly reason for doing so other than to further my own appreciation for the craft. And for learning more about the instruments themselves.

I love this book! It and the Collinson are perfect for a reprint service, and I don't know why nothing's been done about it.

I am amazed at how shallow the roots were for this tree.  I have a few more much taller in the same area.  I reckon I'm going to have some work done getting all of them down if the ground isn't going to sustain them.

Good luck figuring out which trees need to be removed.

To which I immediately thought:  What a wonderful project that would be for some nice place like, oh, say, Kritzerland, if rights were available and all that good stuff. Not that these things are of interest to the masses, but maybe Kritzerland could reach a fair amount of their audience.

Had a very good phone meeting today about one of the several projects in the ether, this being the most important - it's still alive and that's a good thing.

Hugs, Ginny, and vibes of peace.

Thank you, DR John G.  Here’s part of what my niece wrote on Facebook:

“My dad had a stroke on Saturday (7/13/2024) afternoon.   Everything was done right as far as response times and emergency services. However, it became apparent that between the stroke and his worsening dementia, meaningful recovery was not possible, and we made the difficult decision provide him with hospice care.

For our family, knowing his last memories are of playing 18 holes of tournament golf, leaving the team as leaders in the clubhouse and eventual champions,  and having lunch with dear friends.... really, it couldn't be any better.”

Nothing new to repor except that a tree guy is coming by tomorrow at Noon-ish to survey the situation and offer a quote.

He is highly recommended, however, so...

We had a lively audience and only 18 empty seats.....the LL had a brilliant idea for a bit of business.....and I told her she had probably better ask her mother the director about it.....she said she was just going to do it.....and I repeated my admonition.

When her mother came back for a moment during intermission, she told her about and her mother said NO.

So that was that.....I hope.  It didn't happen tonight, but who knows about tomorrow.

As I was walking down the stairs backstage on stage right, the LL suggested that maybe we should install a stair lift for me.

I didn't go ahead and offer my suggestion to her.

If it IS the old version, return it. I can get you the new version directly when I get the hardcovers.

DR George has your niece always had hyperacusis or did it develope later?

She didn't always have it.  It developed maybe between 10-15 years ago. :-\

Better than having it as a child, still, I'm sorry there isn't a cure for it.

Thanks.  She's dealing with it as best as she can.

In an amusing twist, I got a check today from that guy who bought two CDs, filed a dispute with his cc company, got his CDs, but never responded to a single e-mail, at which point I simply wrote him and said I hope you feel good about yourself. Today, a check arrives - no note, nothing but the check.

Well, at least he's (sort of) covertly honest. ;)
