Well, you've read the notes, the notes were very choral, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're enjoying their Moo-nday.

And the word of the day is: ABSQUATULATE!
Smoke on your pipe and put that in.

Sigh...guess I'll read the notes before I mouth off...

Perhaps a nap would help.
Dear BK: Did you like Michael Caine in "The Man Who Would Be King"? I thought he was just peachy.

Topic of the Day: Domenico Scarlatti's Sacred Choral Works (http://www.amazon.com/Domenico-Scarlatti-Sacred-Choral-Works/dp/B00005RYE5/sr=8-1/qid=1160379516/ref=sr_1_1/104-9264336-3384736?ie=UTF8&s=music). The reasons:
1) It's very good
2) I'm on it! This was recorded in my last year of college at Western Washington University and I was in the choir. I don't have any solos (only "real" professional singers were hired for solos), but people have told me that they could hear my voice. I don't know if that's good or bad, but I took it as a compliment. ;)
-
And now, I'm going to bed. Today, all the libraries in our system are closed for "All Staff Training Day." It's optional (you have to use vacation time if you don't want to go), but we basically just listen to speakers, go to concurrent "training" sessions (usually NOTHING that I have any interest in or has any real relevance to my job ::)) and get paid for a full eight-hour day of work when we really only have to actually be there for seven hours...it also includes an hour and a half paid lunch time AND free lunch!
So, I'll be gone all day and probably won't be back until after rehearsal tonight. Have a good one, all!
;D
-
TOD: My favorite choral pieces are requiems. Particularly Brahms, Mozart and Verdi.
On Memorial Day there will occasionally be a program of requiems at Carnegie Hall. 3 different conductors, and each piece featuring a massive chorus culled from different universities and other groups around the country.
When I was in college, I used to travel around in a 16 voice chorale and we did many concerts where we combined with other groups in some large cathedral. Nothing like having that combination of voices vibrating through your head and body; almost a religious experience!
-
Welcome home Cillliaz! I'm sure you have some happy kitties sleeping on you right now!
-
Fantastic photos, Vixmom! I expecially love the one with the skyline in the BG, and Cillaliz at the Lewis Carroll sculpture. (Of course!) As for the "fat" one, it's just the low angle. I'm of an age where I try not to allow that. Only high angle shots for me...particularly from a ladder!
-
Back from my trip abroad. I hope someone will email me on the highlights of what I missed. 2 weeks + of postings is waaaaaaaaay too much.
TOD
Not familar with enough choral work to have a favorite.
-
Casey would waltz
With a strawberry blonde
But they danced without music
as the band had absquatulated.
-
Minnie and Mickey could ABSQUATULATE for days on end on the existance of EQUAL TABUS AT the men's and women's restrooms at Disneyland.
(Not the same def. as used in today's Casey usage.)
-
I, too, am not that familiar with choral works in the classical sphere.
The closest I can come, off the top of my head, would be "Make Our Garden Grow," from Candide.
-
Good morning, Elmore!
-
Michael S - Welcome back. I wouldn't rely on anyone to give you a synposis of the past two weeks. Last time I was gone for just four days, and decided to pass on a close reading of the posts, some of what i missed came back to haunt me.
And besides, if you don't read the week of Sept. 24-30, you'll miss the blow-by-blow BK accounts, full of juicy scandal and gossip :) , of his return to the musical stage in the readings of Last Starfighter
-
Good morning, all! 8:30 sleep-in again! Perhaps my body is subconsciously adjusting to the time switch? I have a day planned at home: laundry first, then brain surgery. If I get bored with Mr Kimmel (as if!) I can go to the computer and work on my Toyland reports.
The only unaccounted person traveling yesterday is DR jhvw. Is he safely home?
Last evening, I watched the funniest un-PC Jeeves & Wooster, involving everyone dressed as Minstrels in blackface and terrifying local constabulary who believed the devil was walking the earth. Hugh Laurie's singing "Lady of Spain" in blackface to the accompaniment of 10 minstrels (all members of the Drones Club) playing banjos was quite funny.
Then I watched a comedy I missed in theatres last spring because of a 3-week trip to Ohio, "The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green," which is based on a comic strip by Eric Oren. The movie is quite rude and very funny, keeping a lot of the comic's spirit. Meredith Baxter is wonderful as Ethan's mother, and there's a wonderful "Gay Sex & The City meets Georges Feydeau" about the whole thing.

Bach: Christmas Oratoria

Thanks for the pix, DRVIXMOM! It was wonderful to see everyone having such a good time! And the locations were divoon!

Oh yes, DREDISAURUS, those scenes in IMITATION OF LIFE you mentioned were heart-rending! As one reviewer said, Lana and Sandra cry and cry, but Juanita and Susan make US cry.
And of course, Susan's room mate in the hotel in the "mammy" scene is none other than Ann Robinson, leading lady in WAR OF THE WORLDS. And the wooden boxes in the alley in the scene where poor Susan is beaten up by Troy Donahue contain are the ones that contained the interocitor shipment in THIS ISLAND EARTH (check the company name stencilled on them).

TOD:
The Messiah - whew!
My favorite to listen to on CD - maybe I will hear some of it someday...is Orff's CARMINA BURANA.

I too enjoyed this episode the most of the ones so far.
I think the best part came when sally field got up at the dinner party and announced what she did. IT was so great (and unexpected to me).
I really like calista and i like the cast. And the show has gotten better. But it's still not one of my favorite new shows, in fact it's probably my worst.
-
I also finally saw the first 2 episodes of HEROES.

I do really like this show. It took me a while to like it. At half way through the first episode i was not sure.
But the thing that turned me around was the last scenes of episode one, plus the great promo preview they did for coming this season. That promo was so interesting and fascinating. And it made me really want to see the upcoming episodes.
-
DR Elmore, I called jhvw when I returned to terra firma and he was about 2 or 3 mile from his parents' house where he had to stop to trade cars (he drove his dad's to Kansas City and left his at their house). So I would assume he is home safe and sound and probably snoring right now. He doesn't have to be at work until 3:00 PM

I am NOT so happy about no mail, either, DRMATTH - I was happier when I was a state employee and this was a DAY OFF!

Good morning!
When I woke up, it was bright and sunny outside. By the time I finished reading the newspaper, clouds had moved onto the scene, and it looked like rain. Now, as I sit in the kitchen and look out my greenhouse window, it's blue skies again.
I don't know what's going on.
-
Welcome back home, DR Michael S. Hope you enjoyed your trip, and glad you got back safe and sound. In today's world, that's quite an accomplishment.
-
Loved the pics, DR Vixmom. Thank you so much for sharing. So nice to see our DRs in various venues around the city.

RE: BROTHERS & SISTERS. I suspect that performance last night will be an Emmy submission episode for Sally Field. She got to crack jokes, play naive, and then lower the boom on everyone. Quite a range of emotions in one episode.

For fans of the show HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER and/or THE CLASS:
Let me remind you that CBS is switching the timeslots for the shows starting tonight. HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER moves to 8 p.m. with THE CLASS following at 8:30.
-
For Michael Caine's lousy track record, I think it's safe to say he's now taking just about any film that's offered him, very much like Laurence Olivier did in the latter stages of his career.
Let's not forget thatg Michael starred in two of the absolute worst sequels in movie history: BEYOND THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE and JAWS: THE REVENGE. He also lent his presence to one of the all-time worst disaster movies (THE SWARM) and one of the all-time worst horror movies (THE HAND).

Good morning Esteemed, sung-out, read-through, and morning-"gogged" BK --
I'll hold good thoughts for your read-through this afternoon. I wish I were in L.A. and could sit like a mouse in the corner, because I really like to see a play evolve from the first read-through to the actual opening.
Have a great time, and don't over-do the vocal chords for the next few days.
-
Welcome back DR Michael S ........ I second the motion from Jrand; We want pictures of your trip!

Really cannot comment on the topic of the day. Other than "The Messiah," I really am not familiar with any other classical choral pieces.
But I'm glad we've got some music experts on ths site who can illuminate some great ones for us.

Bach's B Minor Mass gets me every time!!

TOD :
The "Easter scene" from Cavalleria Rusticana
"Libera Me," and "In Paradisium" from Faure's Requiem
and I know that this last one isn't really the right form for TOD, but.....
"Vocalise" by Rachmaninoff, as sung by Anna Moffo. No words, just an open vocal tone and beautiful orchestra behind it. Even though Anna could be a spitfire, her sound on this is FABULOUS and DIVINE ! There -- I have now used 2 of my favorite cliche'd gay words in the same sentence!
-
DR Music Guy,
Haven't heard Anna Moffo do Vocalise, but I haven't heard a version of it I didn't like. It's beauty grabs me every time. I'll look for the AM recording.
-
Monday morning greetings! I'm due at work at noon - it was nice to have a little sleep-in on our first day back from our trip.
Thanks to DRs Cillaliz and Vixmom for the NYC photos - I'll have a couple to add when I find the cable that connects my camera and computer.
Welcome home to North America to DR Michael S!
TOD - Messiah, of course, and Elijah and Bach's Christmas Oratorio. Some of John Rutter's choral arrangements of specific songs, none of which I can remember right now. We sang many of them when Richard and I were in the choir at First United Methodist Church here in Middletown.
-
I'm driving to the lunch site today (instead of being picked up by other friends), so I need to get off-line and get cleaned up for my outing soon.

If we're heading into vocalise territory, what about Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasieleros No 5 for soprano and 8 celli?
I also forgot Faure's Requiem. My brain is definitely slower these days.

The choral piece that was written for the Doris Day-James Stewart THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH is very entertaining.

Welcome back Michael S. Once you have recovered from jet lag I expect to see photos and read about your trip. I’m leaving tomorrow for two nights in Portland to meet up with JMK, MBarnum and the Aussies. Did you leave before or after we got our puppy?

Edisaurus, I love dog movies too! I have been converting some VHS of "Rusty" filims from the 1940s (they made a lot of dog movies in the 40s) to DVD and am loving them. Rusty is a German shepard owned by a boy (Ted Donaldson). Columbia made a whole slew of Rusty movies a few of which were released on VHS.
And if you search around you can find a budget dvd of another fun and cute little 1940s movie called A BOY, A GIRL, AND A DOG starring little Sharyn Moffett.
But my all time favorite dog movie is 1939s ROOKIE COP starring Tim Holt and Ace, the Wonder dog!
Ace also stars in the movie ALMOST A GENTLEMAN which will be playing on TCM in the next week or so. I think it is about a dog who is convicted of murder!
-
And then here is the movie that is on my most wanted list:
1963s POLICE DOG STORY!

I was just googling How To Write A Dirty Book along with my name and came upon an official amazon review (as opposed to a reader review) for the CD of Debbie Does Dallas, the off-B'way musical - here is the review's final line:

I saw "Debbie Does Dallas." It needed a number like "Dancing Dildos" to perk up the score. And only last week DR Ben and the Man in the Chair discussed porn and musical theatre as well!

There was once a popular singer/actress in my hometown, with whom DR Ginny has worked, Pat Frost, who was a graduate of the Allison Hayes School of The Dramatic Sneer. She once played Laurie in OKLAHOMA! and made Laurie's line to Gertie "What's in your basket?" downright salacious.

Re: last night's TAR.

I wasn't upset with the team that went last night. I really like the miss americas. so i did not want them to go. But i was really disappointed in how they kept messing up.
I will say that it was nice to see that terry/tom guy (cannot tell which is which) pull the point at the end of the show. It was touching to see them try so hard. But they were just not that strong.
The other weak teams to me are: black moms, and hick couple (woman with bad ankle).
My favorite teams are the model/drug addicts, asian brothers, and miss americas. Although as i said the last team really struggled last night.
The team with the guy who yells did very well last night. And for some reason peter/sarah (girl with leg) keep finishing well even though they have problems every show.
I cannot believe how physical this year is. But i did enjoy last night's show a lot.

I did enjoy last night's show. I think it was better than last week's show.
I really liked the bree storyline. And even enjoyed her new hubby for a change. And i too liked andrew coming home. I wonder what kind of trouble he will cause.
I enjoyed the end (mike opening his eyes). But have not been thrilled with susan and the new guy. It just seemed so fast and fake to me. I mean of course mike would wake up right after they slept together. That was too cliche.
Nora also annoys me to no end. But it got a bit better after lynnette picked her up (off the truck). That honest conversation was not as annoying as usual.
Yes it was nice to see the gardener again. And nice to see the tables turned on gabby. And funny to see her in the suitcase in the elevator.

I also am enjoying all the HHW pictures.

Christie's Star Trek memorabilia auction wrapped up yesterday with a grand total of $7,107,040 in sales, more than double what organizers were expecting to bring in. There were 1,000 lots that included costumes, props, miniatures and more from the Star Trek TV shows and movies. The highest priced item was the 78-inch-long (198-cm) model of the Starship Enterprise, which was heavily use in making the TV series, Star Trek: The Next Generation and sold for $576,000, far above its estimate of $15-20K. The purchase, by an anonymous bidder, is one of the "highest prices paid for any piece of Hollywood memorabilia."

"If you're looking for songs that explore the world of adult entertainment, the soundtrack to Bruce Kimmel's 1976 movie, The First Nudie Musical, remains the one to top."
Absolutely!
I haven't seen this in probably 25 years or so; I saw it on a home video that a friend had. I only saw it once but I can remember the melodies and some of the lyrics to the songs. We also used to quote lines from it, like Diana Canova: "It's yust so BIG!"
See, you could have used that about the chocolate cake the other night! It's a line that comes in handy at times! :-)
But I think that is indicative of the quality of the writing!
I also remember thinking that Bruce was the cutest and most memorable cast member. I'm still on the lookout for the special edition on ebay...Greg has never seen the movie and doesn't believe it when I describe it to him!

The Fox is an amazing movie palace that was on the verge of being torn down in the '70's to make way for Bell South. A huge campaign kicked in to preserve it, thank goodness!
We premiered the last feature I cut here and it sold out! I had pursuaded Van Dyke Parks to be our composer and he flew out for the premiere. It was great sitting in that amazing theatre with him (the sound wasn't so great...oh well...) and spending a few days showing him around Atlanta.
They still have screenings in the summer with singalongs at the beginning, with the might Mo Moeller organ and the bouncing ball, and occasionally a full orchestra accompanying a silent film. (I saw Napolean, Potemkin and Alexander Nevsky there.) And this was the same theatre where gravity was *not* defied at the end of Act 1 of "Wicked"!

Good Afternoon!
Greetings from "At Sea" - wherever that happens to be latitudely and longitudely. (sp??)
I got to sleep in today... Till Noon! Ahh... :) And I'm off the rest of today too, so... As long as I stay out of the casino... -I did quite well at the blackjack tables last night. This morning was a different story. :-\
In any case... I'm still having a great time, and I'm still eating and napping and eating and napping, since that's what you do while you're on a cruise. We pull into Ocho Rios tomorrow morning, and I may head out on one of the waterfall excursions. We'll see. I have to work one of the functions at 1:00, so, it's just a matter of finding a tour that gets back to the ship in time.
*And I highly recommend the Guava and Papaya Souffle! -And the coconut macaroons ain't bad either. And our waiter even made an origami box to take the rest of the macaroons back to our room.
Well... The internet charges are piling up by the minute, so...

Daily Beauty Tip:
12 Beauty Pinch-Hitters
Emergency stand-ins for your favorite beauty essentials
If You Run Out of Conditioner...
Use: Mashed avocado, whole milk, or mayonnaise.
How to: These supermarket staples contain fats and oils that will coat and moisturize hair, making it easier to comb. Mash one avocado and, after shampooing, coat your hair with the paste (or with ½ cup of mayonnaise or whole milk), starting at the scalp and working through to the ends. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse well, says Edris Nichols, a stylist and the owner of the Edris Salon, in New York City.

World's 15th Largest Diamond Fetches $12 Million (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,218982,00.html)
(http://www.foxnews.com/images/228938/0_61_100906_diamond.jpg)
Monday , October 09, 2006
ANTWERP, Belgium — A South African company bought the world's 15th-largest rough diamond Monday, paying more than $12 million for the golf-ball sized gem found in the tiny Southern Africa country of Lesotho, officials said.
South African Diamond Corp., the overseas-based manufacturing arm of famed British gem seller Graff Jewelers, purchased the 603-carat stone for $12.4 million, said Lesotho's Natural Resources Minister Mamphono Khaketla, whose government co-owned the gem with a private concern, Gem Diamonds.
…
South African Diamond Corp. said it plans to turn the raw stone into one cut gem above 60 carats in addition to other, smaller stones, with a final sale price of more than $20 million. Experts have graded the stone "class D," saying it is of the clearest quality, with no color blemishes.
The largest diamond ever found, the Cullinan, was the size of a bowling ball at 3,106 carats in the rough. That finished stone is set in Britain's Imperial Sceptre as part of the Crown Jewels.
…
The 1.8 million people of Lesotho, a tiny mountain kingdom completely encircled by South Africa, are among the world's poorest.
I am sure a vast amount of the proceeds will go to the poor :-X

History lesson sent from a friend:
Why we honor Columbus
By Dr. Joseph V. Scelsa
President, Italian American Museum
Perhaps Samuel Eliot Morison, in his book "Admiral of the Ocean Sea' has
said it best as to why we should remember Christopher Columbus. "The whole
history of the Americas stems from the Four Voyages of Columbus; and as the
Greek city-states looked back to the death-less gods as their founders, so
today a score of independent nations and dominions unite in homage to
Christopher, the stout hearted son of Genoa, who carried Christian
civilization across the Ocean Sea."
On May 20, 2006, the world quietly marked the 500th anniversary of the
passing of one of the most important men to have walked on and in his case
sailed the face of this earth. Christopher Columbus or Cristofero Colombo as
he was known by his Genoese parents dared to dream and act in ways no other
had done before. Some have called him the first American, others, an
adventurer or even a tyrant. What even one's opinion, no one can deny that
it was his indomitable spirit which drove him and lives on today in the new
world he opened by his voyages of discovery.
Historically, Columbus is an icon; in fact, the first known celebration in
his honor in New York took place in 1792 on the occasion of the third
hundred anniversary of his landing on the Americas. It was organized by the
"Society of Saint Tammy", an organization of American revolutionary war
veterans. The society later went on to become "Tammany Hall" the most
powerful political machine New York City has ever known. It's last leader,
an Italian American, Carmine DeSapio.
Sadly, today, parades and protest both take place in America on Columbus
Day. This once venerated "American Hero" has been under attack since before
the 500th anniversary even though there are streets, highways, towns,
cities, universities and even our nation's capitol, the District of
Columbia, named in his honor. For the past several years, protesters in
Denver, Colorado have disrupted the Annual Denver Columbus Day Parade
claiming that Columbus is responsible for plight of all indigenous people in
America and several states have sought to remove Columbus Day as an official
holiday.
In New York State it was then Assemblyman Al Smith and Senator "Big Tom"
Sullivan who introduced the bill in 1909 which Governor Charles Hughes
signed making Columbus Day a state holiday. By 1910, eight other states
followed New York; New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland,
California, Michigan, Montana and Illinois making Columbus Day a legal state
holiday. In 1934, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt designed October 12th,
a day of nationwide celebration and in 1968, President Lynden B. Johnson
signed the bill making Columbus Day a Federal Holiday.
Perhaps the most famous Columbus monument stands in New York City at
Columbus Circle at the junction of Central Park and Broadway. It was mostly
the Italian immigrants at the time who contributed to the fund for the
monument started by Carlo Barsotti in 1889, the publisher of Il Progresso
Italo-Americano and then presented it to the City of New York in time for
the fourth hundred anniversary of Columbus' first voyage in 1892. In 1968,
the Columbus Citizens Foundation under the New York City Adopt-A-Monument
Program raised the $450,000 necessary to restore the monument to its
original splendor prior to the 500th anniversary.
Although today, the Manhattan parade rarely passes by the monument except
when the solemn Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur falls on Columbus Day and out
of respect for our Jewish brethren, we don't march past their Fifth Avenue
synagogue it still stand as a beacon of hope and encouragement for all to
see, Italian and all non-Italians alike.
In 1907, New York City (Manhattan) had two parades one on Mulberry Street
and the other in East Harlem (which was in the 1930's and 40's, the largest
Italian district in the country). In 1927, the Columbus Citizens Committee
assumed responsibility for the parade, later in 1944 under the leadership of
Generoso Pope; the Columbus Citizens Foundation took over the responsibility
for the parade and has done so every year since then. Perhaps the most
significant parade in Columbus's honor was that of October 8, 2001, just one
month after the tragedy of September 11, 2001 when 3,000 American lives were
lost in the worst attack on the United States since December 7, 1941 when
the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The first official parade (public
gathering) after 9/11 in New York City was the Columbus Day Parade. People
from all walks of life, not just those of Italian descent came out to line
the streets t not only to celebrate the achievements of Columbus, but to
show their patriotism, a testament to his and 'our" indomitable spirit which
he represents. More than anything that is what Christopher Columbus has come
to stand for and why he will always be remembered. His indomitable spirit
lives on, his belief in himself and his determination to follow through on
his dreams of a better life in America for ourselves and our children. That
is Christopher Columbus' real legacy and that is why we, the children of
Columbus, the heirs of his legacy must never forget him. He led our way.

Bob Dylan Musical Will Lose $10 Million, Insiders Say (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,218224,00.html)
Monday , October 09, 2006
By Roger Friedman
The much-touted musical "The Times They Are A-Changin'" is a financial and artistic disaster, insiders tell me.
Producers of the troubled show that features the music of Bob Dylan set to dance pieces by the legendary Twyla Tharp now fear a total loss when the show opens on Oct. 26.
"We'll lose all $10 million," predicted one insider who knows the score. "It's terrible."
…
One big problem, sources said, is that the Dylan songs have been arranged into unrecognizable Broadway versions of themselves.
"You couldn't tell what they were," said an observer.
Tharp is rushing to turn them back into folk songs, but it's probably too late for that.
…
Those darn arrangers!

I watched the second episode of DEXTER to begin my evening. It's such an unusual show with an off-kilter kind of character and strangely appealing. I'm really liking the show.
Dexter tonight was dealing with a serial DUI offender, but there is a killer in Miami who's playing a cat and mouse game with him. Very intriguing..
-
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER had a neat surprise at the end of a show that was a bit tamer on the comedy than other episodes this season. Still, I enjoyed it.
-
THE CLASS continued with the misadventures of these various former friends. I like that the show doesn't try to force connect all the characters to each other each week. Each little group has its own separate storylines, so if one bores you (the Andrea Anders plot continues to drag), there are others which will be with the viewer momentarily. Some of the plots seem to be closed at the end of the show while others are going to be continuing.
I like the show, but I can understand why it hasn't gotten a big following yet. I'll be curious to see if this timeslot change will have any effect on its ratings.
-
HEROES had an excellent episode with many surprises and delights. There's still things going on that haven't been explained to us, but it's certainly held my attention well enough to keep me watching intently.
-
And STUDIO 60 had a better episode than last week, too, dealing with a plagerized comedy sketch that was performed and aired. The always wonderful Christine Lahti guest starred. Iis she going to be a recurring character? I see she's also on next week.)

I don't remember if I specifically posted this but last night, I was officially given the additional role of Indian #2! In the movie, the Indians are played by Japanese actors, but in our version, the Indians are all going to be Drag Queens! The guy who is playing the Indian chief rewrote the Indians' dialogue with actual (assuming it's accurate) 18th century gay slang! And all the Indians are speaking in French accents. The "Cannibal 'Indian' tribe language concept" is this:
"The drag queens speak a mixture of Franglaise and 18th century gay slang because they were:
A boy scout troup that got lost in the woods captured by Indians and forced to work in the tribe's brothel Tee-pee servicing miners and trappers to boost the Indian tribe's cash flow. The scouts were liberated by French Trappers only to become the byatches of the rugged French mountain men.
Think Pepe le Pew meets Pricilla Queen of the Desert"

If anyone is interested in finding out what my actual dialogue is, I'll e-mail it to you...this is a family site, after all. ;)
