Well, you've read the notes, the notes were musically speaking, and now it is time for you to post until the musically speaking cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: SOBRIQUET!

Mine's BK, what's YOURS?

Welcome, 594 GUESTS!

GUESTS we've got. GEORGE we don't got.

GUESTS we've got. GEORGE we don't got.
I nodded off. ::) What can I say?? It happens!
-
George, the cat box hangings in last night's posts were most enjoyable.
-
For the TOD, does that mean pop songs of the 1960s or also theater songs of the 1960s?
Back in the actual 1960s, before I was ten years old, I recall especially enjoying "Sweet Caroline" and "Sugar, Sugar."
(Looking back from now at songs from the 1960s, there are so many.)
-
Good morning, all!
-
My cell phone died during the night, so my alarm did not ring this morning. I have a new battery here, so I will replace it today.
-
I slept well for the most part, but my left arm and hand would be numb for a while, then return to normal, thern go numb . . .
I think the pinched nerve is in my right hip joint - since I sleep on my side - and it all depends on my putting pressure on it while I sleep. I'm not really a doctor, I just pretend to be one.
-
Speaking of doctors, Annabelle, Stella, and Thatch need a new vet. DR sliongshot, please send ASAP all pertinent info on your previous vet.
-
Speaking of cats, DR George, I have a big question: when are you adopting another?
I love those cat boxes; so do Annabelle and Thatch, who now want a set here.
-
Joe has sent mew his new "Roses of Picardy" score, so I need to look through it today.
-
George, the cat box hangings in last night's posts were most enjoyable.
DITTO!

Good morning, all.

Thursday.
In case anyone needed to know.

DINO LIVES!!!!!
-
Today, ketchup on some more stuff around the house.
It's so nice having a few days break from the rehearsals and shows and rehearsals and recitals and ... did I mention rehearsals?
-
And he's sellin' stuff!
-
DR elmore3003 - do you sleep with an extra pillow between your legs? I hope.
-
And auditions.
-
And rehearsals.
-
Did you mention rehearsals?
-
I think so.

Thursday.

All day.

I enjoyed hearing Dino at the piano last night.

Good morning, all.

Did you mention rehearsals?
If I've neglected to mention them, then maybe I should - because next week I've got a couple of two-rehearsal days, and a rehearsal/performance day.

He can still tickle those ivories.

DR George the cat boxes are great and the cat is beautiful. Is she a part or full Maine Coon cat?

I saw the word and you got lucky getting it in six.

I was barely conscious during the actual sixties, so I don’t remember much about what I listened to then, except for the soundtracks to Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music.
-
Keith got Wordle in five.
-
Good morning.
-
DR Jrand, please share a few of the spectacular views we saw today.
-
I was barely conscious during the actual sixties, so I don’t remember much about what I listened to then, except for the soundtracks to Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music.
For some reason, the version of "Mary Poppins" that I recall listening to a lot in the 1960s was a studio version where Marni Nixon sang the "Mary Poppins" songs.
-
I can pinpoint what I listened to in the 1960s vs. the 1970s pretty clearly because in summer 1970, we moved from Flatbush (when the record player was in the living room) to Luna Park in the Coney Island area (when the record player was actually in my bedroom).
-
In the 1970s, we were very near a Korvettes store with a great record department, and I recall buying a lot of LPs at Korvettes once we moved to Luna Park.
-
Did you mention rehearsals?
If I've neglected to mention them, then maybe I should - because next week I've got a couple of two-rehearsal days, and a rehearsal/performance day.
Sending more rehearsal vibes.
I was surprised that you hadn't mentioned rehearsals.

Ditto!

Great to hear you're having such great experiences, Jane!
-
In the 1960s, since I was in Yeshivah and (for an under-ten-years old kid) therefore, rather fluent in conversational Hebrew, I was very taken with the Hebrew cast recordings of The King and I, Oliver and Hello Dolly.
-
At least in that period where I wasn't ten years old yet, I recall being particularly enchanted by the translations for The King and I.
-
What a surprise and a treat to hear Dino! Dino at the piano!
-
I have (or had) a couple records in shrinkwrap with Korvette’s stickers on them.

It’s like the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang I know is from a cheapie version by the Richard Wolfe Children’s Chorus that my mom bought my siblings. Some memorable arrangements.
-

At least in the 1970s, when the Korvettes on Cropsey Avenue near Coney Island had one of their department-wide sales, with the color-coded pricing stickers on them, there were indeed bargains to be found
-
Like the wah-wah guitar on Toots Sweet.
-
Bright orange must have been the cheapest Korvette’s price.

God damned Fed Ex! Supposedly, they delivered two 29-lb cartons of kitty litter to my lobby. Since the elevator was out of order yesterday I could not go down to get them. Jen told mer last night that she saw no cartons for me in the lobby.
Sure enough, this morning I took the trash to the basement and picked up my mail. No cartons of litter. Petsmart just placed a new order at no charge, thank God, but where the fat hell did a clearly dyslexic delivery person leave the litter?
-
When we finally got the Disney soundtrack, the internal record sleeve for the Disney release of MARY POPPINS was (IIRC) my first encounter with magical titles like "Italiannette" and "Hawaiiannette"
-
Hawaiiannette (Hawaiian Love Talk)

DR elmore3003 - do you sleep with an extra pillow between your legs? I hope.
Yep. Ever since we recorded Roberta in Dublin, 2013. Annalene Beechy's mother, a wonderful lady, suggested it.

The day that Medicare provides you with some home help can't come soon enough. Can't that be accelerated?
Hoping that will add years to your life, and quality of life in terms of wear and tear on your body

Sadly, I never knew Korvette's, but I have a couple of records with their price stickers, too. I even think they're a couple of prized classical recordings. They stocked the good stuff. Wish I had known the store.

DR FREDDIE I think the Sherman Bros. joked with Annette that her next two albums would be Kitchenette and Bassinette.

We just walked I to town and are now resting and freshening up before dinner.

How can one choose from so vast a decade?
The first thing that came to my mind was “Our Winter Love” by Bill Pursell. (Or the Lettermen if you want such luxuries as lyrics).
-
Looks glorious, Jane!
-
DR FREDDIE I think the Sherman Bros. joked with Annette that her next two albums would be Kitchenette and Bassinette.
LOL!
-
The video tie-in for "Kitchenette" could have included that big closet full of peanut butter from BACK TO THE BEACH.

In the 1970s, we were very near a Korvettes store with a great record department, and I recall buying a lot of LPs at Korvettes once we moved to Luna Park.
Korvette's! I can remember clear as day when I picked up my first two Don Ellis albums at our local store. Though that was the 1970s vs the 1960s.
-
Don Ellis! Underrated.
-
TOD: Sorry, this is just too broad a question for me. There was so much going on then, I can't choose! Narrowing by genre or year would help me focus.
-
Don Ellis! Underrated.
Thank goodness all his recordings finally made the transition to CD. There's a great Facebook group for Don moderated by one of the folks who has done so much to keep his legacy alive with the CDs and critical editions.

Shows in addition to Elmore’s:
Do I Hear a Waltz?
Anyone Can Whistle
On a Clear Day …
No Strings
Zorba
Hair
-
The TOD is difficult for me, too.
But I guess I shall just post a few high points:
Lesley Gore - It's My Party
The Beatles - She Loves You, etc. right through Magical Mystery Tour.
Petula Clark - Downtown
The Animals - House of the Rising Sun
Chad & Jeremy and Peter & Gordon
Many Broadway & movie songs already mentioned....but POP music was what I was buying in the 1960's.
I did buy and love the OBC of HAIR - although I liked the Cowsills' version as well.
-
LOL DR JOHN G we must be twins.
-
We Five’s You Were on My Mind was a favorite pop song
The Beach Boys, especially Pet Sounds
The Who
Diana Ross and the Supremes
Most anything from Motown

Twins in Hair.

I should have included HAIR! Most of the other albuyms you list were shows I discovered in the 1970s. In collefe, I used to play in the dorm recordings of Jonathan and Darlene Edwards, Mrs Miller, and Anna Russell just to annoy my critics, of which there were many latent GOP members who thought I was weird.

Did she/Keith take that photo? Or was that from a plane flying over all the balloons?

The Cowsills had any number of great songs, Hair, included.
Indian Lake
The Rain, The Park and Other Things…

With the ‘60s end came the end of the great era of instrumental chart hits. Of course there would still be some big ones, but I once did the math and there were more Hot 100 charting instrumental hits in 1961 alone than in all the years from 1970 to the present, combined.

I'm up, I'm up - a bit over eight hours of sleep.

As to 60s songs, in addition to movie songs and show songs, I was very partial to the early 60s pop songs like:
Johnny Get Angry Joanie Sommers
Sealed With a Kiss Brian Hyland
She Cried Jay and the Americans
El Matador Kingson Trio
End of the World Skeeter Davis
All those kinds of songs.

Later, it was all the Bacharach songs, groups like Spanky and Our Gang, The Lovin' Spoonful, Mamas and the Papas, etc.

Nice review, BK!
-
BK, I'm really enjoying seeing segments of the parody musicals from "Outside the Box" popping up in the "shorts" form on YouTube lately!
-
They are remaking The War of the Roses (1989) as The Roses, with Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch.
-
I never saw the original, but I'd see this for the two lead actors.
-
Plugging along.

Slowly.

Painfully.

At a snail's pace.

Good night, friends.
-
And others.
-
Kathleen Turner was amazing in The War of the Roses.
-
I really enjoyed A Complete Unknown, but I thought Timothee was both good and bad, sometimes at the same time.
-
High praise to the director for using songs as complete as possible.
-
I needed a breather after that. So, I am starting the Max Reinhardt version of Midsummer Night’s Dream.
-
The movie begins with a Mendelssohn overture. Most beautiful.
-
Tim O Tay gets on my last nerve.....so I shall probably not watch the Rat Face in his impersonation of Bob Dylan
-
OMG how could I forget Ms Joanie Sommers version of Johnny GIT Angry?
I bought the single....the flip side of the Warner Bros 45 was the best cover of A Summer Place ever

I had a Letterman Greatest Hits cassette and we were driving one time with it playing their version of the Theme From a Summer Place. And we’re just humming along because we both mainly knew the Percy Faith masterpiece, but we both simultaneously came in after the bridge, “And the sweet secret of….” And we had to laugh at ourselves as THAT lyric had stuck in our minds separately o’er the ages.
-
War of the Roses I appreciate now more than when it came out. They released it at Christmas and the mood was wrong, but the darkness of it appeals more to me now.

Well, I can do some favorite songwriter artists from the 60s:
- The Beatles
- Chicago Transit Authority
- Jefferson Airplane
- Gordon Lightfoot
- Phil Ochs
- Peter, Paul and Mary
- Simon and Garfunkel
-
Wichita Lineman
-
No Time by the Guess Who
-
Everybody’s Talkin’
-
And some favorite 60s shows:
- Cabaret
- Evening Primrose
- The Fantasticks
- Fiddler on the Roof
- Hair
- Man of La Mancha
- You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown
-
Volunteers, speaking of Jefferson Airplane
-
And Tommy for rock opera. The movie is what we're seeing next week in my 1970s film class.
-
Several songs from Hair
-
Today we discussed The Godfather Part II watching scenes from the movie. There's a lot of obliqueness and ambiguity in it which made for fun discussions.
-
Several songs from How to Succeed, Camelot, Mame…
-
But when I was a kid in 1968, "Go Get 'Em Tigers" was my favorite song:

Bob Seger's 2+2=? was one of the first rock antiwar songs:

One of the more spectacular photos from DR JANE.
Did she/Keith take that photo? Or was that from a plane flying over all the balloons?
Keith took all of the photos except the ones of us. I attempted to copy and paste Keith's wonderful description of our morning from my FB page. Maybe someone else can do that.

Wow!
Yup 🙂

I’ve never seen the Godfather films in full.
-
That photo is absolutely amazing.
-
The two Don Ellis albums I got at Korvette's were Live at Fillmore and Tears of Joy. Fillmore is the height of his rock period, then Tears of Joy moves to the string-based band he used for the rest of his career. Both are great starting points for exploration. My other two favorite albums are Soaring and Live at Montreux.

Wink Martindale has died.

Stunning photos from DR Jane. Thanks, DR Jrand74!
Thank you.
-
“Will You Be Staying After Sunday?” by the Peppermint Rainbow is a great one in the Mamas & Papas style.
-
I’ve never seen the Godfather films in full.
I think the first Godfather film is worth it; it's really amazing. Part II is too dark for me, but I liked it better watching it for the second time this week when I wasn't surprised by where it was going. Part III is fine but not up to the level of the others.
-
Don Ellis also scored the two French Connection movies. The Connection album traded in on that success but it only has two great original tracks, including the big band version of the theme. The rest of the songs are mediocre rock covers.
-
You know what else was great? The main hits by the Buckinghams. “Don’t You Care,” “Susan,” “Kind of a Drag.”
-
It's great fun living vicariously through DR Jane's travels!
-
Along Comes Mary, what a groove to open that Association song.
-
Did anyone mention The Turtles yet? "Happy Together" and "Elenore" are my favorites from them.
-
Gotta love the Turtles. And their Leslie Bricusse-penned theme from Guide for the Married Man.
-
My fave Don Ellis LPs are Shock Treatment and Autumn, both from 1968.
-
Aretha has a lot of great songs in the 60s but I think my favorite is "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man."
-

Can't go wrong with those! I guess the 1971+ strings band resonates even more with me because it's so different than other big bands.
-
I was introduced to Don Ellis at music camp when we played "Final Analysis" in our jazz band one week, then a few days later saw the modern dance group do a dance on "Loss." I couldn't believe those were both by the same guy!
-
I like Connections because I collect versions of Alone Again (Naturally)
-
Don Ellis is perfect for adventurous jazz band kids. What with his wild time signatures. Not sure why he was never “cool” among real jazzbos. Too much big band, pop experiments, vocals, I guess. Most have sold a lot though. Easy to find in the dollar bins.

I think it was too much rock, too much flash. Jazz was getting swamped by rock at the time so there was a defensive reaction.

Finished with my viewing.

Must write some damn notes now.

Enter page eight!

Finally had to shut the computer down - way too frustrating with it hiccuping every two seconds.
-
Seems to be fine now, thankfully.

George, the cat box hangings in last night's posts were most enjoyable.
Thanks, Freddie! My sister is pretty happy that at least one of their six cats likes them, too!
-
Speaking of cats, DR George, I have a big question: when are you adopting another?
I love those cat boxes; so do Annabelle and Thatch, who now want a set here.
Well, I still need to clean a couple of my rooms. ::)
-
I really do procrastinate too much, but maybe I'll get off my butt and reorganize...hopefully.

Today, ketchup on some more stuff around the house.
It's so nice having a few days break from the rehearsals and shows and rehearsals and recitals and ... did I mention rehearsals?
I've only been to the Into the Woods introductory meet-and-greet, but I'll be going to every rehearsal starting on Monday.
-
DR George the cat boxes are great and the cat is beautiful. Is she a part or full Maine Coon cat?
Thanks, Jane. I'm pretty sure only part Maine Coon. She's not that large...and her name is Freya!

In the 1960s, since I was in Yeshivah and (for an under-ten-years old kid) therefore, rather fluent in conversational Hebrew, I was very taken with the Hebrew cast recordings of The King and I, Oliver and Hello Dolly.
I've never heard those, but I actually have the Israeli cast recordings of Annie (https://castalbums.org/recordings/-2002-Israeli-Cast/4205) (Strouse/Charnin version) and a version of Peter Pan (https://castalbums.org/recordings/-1993-Israeli-Cast/17250) (פיטר פן) by Yaron Kafkafi.

Like the wah-wah guitar on Toots Sweet.
What?? :o

God damned Fed Ex! Supposedly, they delivered two 29-lb cartons of kitty litter to my lobby. Since the elevator was out of order yesterday I could not go down to get them. Jen told mer last night that she saw no cartons for me in the lobby.
Sure enough, this morning I took the trash to the basement and picked up my mail. No cartons of litter. Petsmart just placed a new order at no charge, thank God, but where the fat hell did a clearly dyslexic delivery person leave the litter?
That's really crappy, Larry! >:( I hate it when things like that happen!

New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
-
They were not written with the help of AI or ChatGPT or whatever the HELL it's called.
-
They came directly from my head to the notes.
-
There were no uncouth interlopers.
-
None.
-
I'm beginning to wonder.
-
I'm feeling that page nine might be waiting in the wings.

See?

DR FREDDIE I think the Sherman Bros. joked with Annette that her next two albums would be Kitchenette and Bassinette.
