Well, you've read the notes, the notes waxed and waned, and now it is time for you to post until the waxing and waning cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: DEMARCHE!
-
BK, thanks for the birthday greetings.
-
George, I woke up to a very warm bed room....I decided it just wouldn't do and although it's cool outside, the open windows weren't doing squat, so I cranked the air conditioner and it's feeling much better. Maybe I can get some sleep

i have a busy day tomorrow, so I'm going to try to go back to sleep. Night all

THAT is a plethora O' points of exclimation

I suppose sleep is what one does at this hour, so I suppose I shall too.

Jose, I've given your name and e-mail address to Michael Cassara - our dates our August 6th and 8th at the moment - I'll be in town from the 5th and leaving either the evening of the 8th or the morning of the 9th. Will Gypsy still be playing?

Adriana, I don't know how, but your exclamation points don't show up in your message...somehow you got the "glow=red,2,300" code before the "move=..." code.

Otherwise, a Very Happy Birthday to Cillaliz!! ;D

And now, I must attempt to sleep. Good night, everyone. 8)

No one in the jernt but me - well, me and the twenty-four GUESTS. Shares available. C'mon, one person, take a share.

Party games...I remember a game called "Spoons", played with a deck of cards and spoons, which was kind of hilarious, but I can't remember how it goes, exactly...
-
bk, last evening does sound truly delightful...glad you had such a good time.
And...here's today's notes in Fudd-speak, courtesy of The Dialectizer:
Weww, deaw weadews, it is qwite wate, and my enewgy is waning, but that shan’t stop me fwom waxing enthusiastic about this day and evening’s nice bits. Yes, you heawd it hewe, deaw weadews, I shaww be waxing even as I’m waning. Evewy time I use the wowd waning I feew wike Ewmew Fudd. I awways thought Ewmew Fudd wouwd make a gweat Henwy Higgins. De wane is Spain stays mainwy on the pwain, uh-hah-hah-hah. Oh, now you see what I’ve done? Now I just want to wwite the entiwe notes in Ewmew Fudd wingo. Don’t wowwy, I won’t, but I’m sowewy tempted. In any case, it is qwite wate and I have a wot to say, and I shaww now wax even as I wane. Yestewday was anothew non-stop day fiwwed wif mewwiment and miwf and waughtew and wegs, as weww as the usuaw few annoyances. I got up eawwy, answewed e-maiws, made tewephonic cawws, had a meeting wif CD wady, and then had to hie mysewf to WACC fow a meeting wif the pwesident of the Foundation, uh-hah-hah-hah. Dat went weww, and then I had to hie mysewf back home, whewe I continued to make tewephonic cawws and answew e-maiws. I then had to hie mysewf to weheawsaw wif Joan Wyan, ouw fiwst staging weheawsaw wif John Bosweww in attendance. We stiww used ouw weheawsaw CD, but we set most of the pattew undewscowe, and we wan aww of act two, which, I must say, wowks weawwy weww, save fow ouw ongoing battwing ovew hew penuwtimate song – I’m not backing down, and she knows it, so she’s just going to have to do it and when she does and finawwy commits to it, it wiww be wike aww the othew songs that we’ve battwed about fow fouw months – they become hew favowites. Hew finaw song (pwiow to hew encowe) was going to be hew owd wawhowse, On A Cweaw Day You Can See Fowevew, but I just hate the awwangement and awmost evewything about it. She’s been tewwing me fow weeks how much hew husband wants hew to sing Anypwace I Hang My Hat Is Home, so I thwew out On A Cweaw Day, and we’we doing Home in its pwace. It wiww wowk much bettew. Aftew weheawsaw, I began the incwedibwy wong dwive to deep Cuwvew City to sup wif Miss Wiz Wawsen and hew evew-wovin’ Saw Viviano. Wathew than bwave the 405, I took Benedict Canyon ovew the hiww, and shockingwy, thewe was absowutewy no twaffic. At Owympic, I cut ovew to Ovewwand, and took that aww the way souf into deep Cuwvew City. De dwive took an houw, but it couwd’ve taken a whowe wot wongew. Funniwy, I had a message fwom Wiz asking whewe I was – she’d misundewstood the time and thought I was going to be thewe at six, not seven, uh-hah-hah-hah. I got thewe wight on time at seven, uh-hah-hah-hah. I had the most dewightfuw time I’ve had in ages. Dey have a cute house (a wewative weft it to them), and I was dewighted to find Mw. Jason Gwaae and his evew-wovin’ in attendance, as was Jason’s new dog, Woy. Wiz had made an assowtment of wondewfuw dishes – pasta wif wed sauce and tuwkey meatbawws, a pasta and vegetabwe sawad (out of this wowwd), gweat chicken sawad, some cheeses, and home made chicken nuggets (awso out of this wowwd). We dined on the patio and the convewsation was wiwd, wacky, and pwetty hiwawious. Evewyone was waxing nostawgic ovew aww the awbums we did back in the day, and how peopwe show up at theiw concewts wif aww those CDs fow them to sign, uh-hah-hah-hah. We aww weawized just how speciaw that whowe time was – uniqwe and wondewfuw, wif a weaw honest to goodness wep gwoup of singews. I hope to someday get back to doing that sowt of awbum – I weawwy and twuwy miss it, and the wikes of these singews. Aftew dinnew, we wetiwed to the wiving woom, whewe the aduwts and Wiz and Saw’s two adowabwe sons pwayed Cewebwity. I was the “timew” so just watched evewyone pway, and it was a wot of fun and the waughtew was wong and woud, not necessawiwy in that owdew. De whowe evening was a dewight, and the Vivianos wewe pewfect hosts. Oh, dat scwewy wabbit! And Jason and I awe just so on the same wavewength, humow-wise, that we wewe just howwing wif waughtew the entiwe evening. Aftew that, I came home, but couwd not sit on my couch wike so much fish, since I had to stawt wwiting these hewe notes. Oh, dat scwewy wabbit! I stiww have to catch up on the pwethowa of postings. Oh, dat scwewy wabbit! Weww, why don’t we aww cwick on the Unseemwy Button bewow because, as Ewmew Fudd wouwd say, it’s weawwy weawwy wate and I must get my beauty sweep.
Today, I have an eawwy-mowning weheawsaw wif Joan and Bos – we’ww wun the entiwe show fwom stawt to finish without stopping. Aftew that, I must come home and hopefuwwy the Miwwa CDs wiww be hewe and I’ww get those shipped out pwonto. Den I have some wettew wwiting to do, some tewephonic cawws to make, a twip to book, and a whowe wot of whatnot.
Aftew aww that, I’ww then be on my way to Mw. Gwant Geissman’s home enviwonment, whewe I’ww spend a few houws watching as he begins the book design of Muwdew At Howwywood High. I’m weawwy wooking fowwawd to that, I must say.
Tomowwow is yet anothew wacky day – a meeting wif Chawwes Fox, a weheawsaw wif Miss Wyan, and then, hopefuwwy, a smaww dinnew and then the watching of some DVDs.
Now wait just a dawned minute. Wet's put on ouw pointy pawty hats and ouw cowowed tights and pantawoons, wet's bweak out the cheese swices and the ham chunks, wet's dance the Howa and the Monkey, fow today is the actuaw biwthday of ouw vewy own actuaw Ciwwawiz. So, wet's give a big haineshisway.com biwthday cheew to ouw vewy own actuaw Ciwwawiz. On the count of thwee - one, two, thwee: A BIG HAINESHISWAY.COM BIWDDAY CHEEW TO OUW VEWY OWN ACTUAW CIWWAWIZ!!!
Weww, deaw weadews, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, fow exampwe, weheawse, do ewwands and whatnot, and then design a book. Today’s topic of discussion: What awe youw aww-time favowite pawty games – the ones that awe weawwy fun and funny and wacky, and the ones that awe just intewwectuawwy stimuwating? Wet’s have woads of wovewy postings, shaww we, as the waning takes ovew fwom the waxing.

From today's New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/12/us/12parking.html?th&emc=th):
In Houston, $225,000 will buy a three-bedroom house with a game room, den, in-ground pool and hot tub.
In Manhattan, it will buy a parking space. No windows, no view. No walls.

Happy Birthday, Dear DR Cillaliz!!

Happiest of birthdays to DR Cillaliz!
Isn't today your office-warming party, too?

Happy Big B Day To CILLALIZ!!!!!!!!

Just to get it out of the way.
I have necer actually played it. has anyone?
Strip Poker or Stip _____________ (Fill in the blank)

Happy Birthday DR Cillaliz

Happy Thursday Michael and Ben.
Tomorrow is Friday 13th. I wonder if DR Jrand has advice for us.
-
Good Morning Tom.

Happy Thursday Michael and Ben.

Perhaps you can give us advice how to survive it. You will experience it before we do here in North America
-
Happy Day to Cil!!!
-
I'm looking forward to Gypsy. I'm gonna have to drag my butt uptown and see what's left at the Ticket Office (We don't sell boxes, we sell tickets - a phrase from my Theatre Management college professor).
-
Morning, Tom, Michael and TCB
-
Too true Michael. Actually I'm not really superstitious. (But I didn't like people wishing me luck before School exams and I would never give a "baby" gift to an expectant parent).
-
The weather has broken here in New York. Who do we call to fix it?
It will be hot today but not like the past few days. We slept without the AC last night.
-
And now we move to Page 2
-
And Hello to DR TCB.
-
You used DC Ben?
-
I do love a good game of Celebrity.
-
Not to be confused with a good game of celibacy. (which seems a touch like an oxymoron)
-
I also love a game of Initials.
There are variations but the way we play is
You take the alphabet and write it vertically down the side of a piece of paper and then pick a sentence at random. I chose Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party. You put the first 26 letters of the sentence next to the alphabet as so (you can see that the last letter used is the t in to):
AN Aaron Neville
BO Bobby Orr (the hockey player) and so on
CW
DI
ES
FT
GH
HE
IT
JI J
KM
LE
MF
NO
OR
PA
QL
RL
SG
TO
UO
VD
WM
XE
YN
ZT
You then have 10 minutes to come up with names for the sets of initials. As in Celebrity, the name has to have some level of fame and the person can be real or fictional including cartoon characters, advertising icons (Pillsbury Doughboy would be acceptable for PD), etc. For K, Q and P King, Queen and Prince or Princess are acceptable. Scoring is as follows
If you get a name and someone else gets the same name you get 5 points. If you get a name and no one else gets it but other players get different names (AW could have Andy Warhol, Andy Williams, Anna Mae Wong, etc) you each get 10 points. If you get a name for a set of initials and no one else gets a name at all you get 15 points. You can only have one name for each set of initials.

Good morning, all! The question about Mr Jerry Hadley once again seems to be, is he or isn't he? According to Ron Raines, he is, but there's nothing from the media to prove it. Oy! So, back to the Spirtas charts.
I awoke this morning to Christianne Noll's "Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte" running through my head sd I'm listening to JEEPERS CREEPERS, BK, I am so jealous of your evening! Since Jason changes ever-lovin's like others change underwear, is this the landscaper(???) I met in London in 2001? I miss the old rep company a lot.

Thank you all for the Birthday wishes! I could post each in a separate post, but I'm in a hurry to get going and pick Paul up as he waits at the service station where he is leaving his car for repairs.

Of course I haven't showered, dressed or fed the cats yet...so I must hurry.

Good morning all you Dear Readers out there in the dark.
Do any of you know if a documentary is available called This is Noel Coward? It was done for ITV in Britain in 1972 or 1973. There is a coffee table book companion to the film. We found the book at a Library book sale on the Upper West Side. I just finished reading it and really enjoyed it. I would like to see the film if possible. Almost all my googgling turns up is refererence to the book. There are a couple of databases which mention the film but it doesn't seem to exist in DVD or VHS.
BTW, Mr. Oz, thanks for the hardware. H & B are here.

Well the Mercury retrograde has in fact ended....but we are still in a Jupiter retrograde until July 31.
-
Friday the 13th is not an unlucky day and with the new moon in Cancer on Saturday, it is a good time to tend to personal family matters. A home improvement plan is a good idea....as is turning off the phone and reading a book all by yourself.
-
YES YES YES lovely new avatars for DRs 3DDIFFUSION and ADRIANNA PATTI!!!
DR 3D - I think the actress you pictured was Miss Eleanor Audley who was the voice of the Wicked Witch in SLEEPING BEAUTY and played Oliver Douglas' mother in GREEN ACRES....to name only two.
-
George, I woke up to a very warm bed room....I decided it just wouldn't do and although it's cool outside, the open windows weren't doing squat, so I cranked the air conditioner and it's feeling much better. Maybe I can get some sleep
Maybe you were excited with it being your birthday and all --
HAPPY BIRTHDAY and MANY MORE!

Yes, but Harry Potter isn't published until July 21! ;)

Good morning all you Dear Readers out there in the dark.

We found the book at a Library book sale on the Upper West Side. I just finished reading it and really enjoyed it. I would like to see the film if possible. Almost all my googgling turns up is refererence to the book. There are a couple of databases which mention the film but it doesn't seem to exist in DVD or VHS.
I don't know about that one. I did tape one from A & E that was taken from a Thames TV series like our American show BIOGRAPHY that was done years after his death. This one includes clips from interviews and a few shots from TOGETHER WITH MUSIC.
-
Yes DRJANE....Miss Blue Moon comes indoors on these hot afternoons....and sleeps indoors during threats of rain or storm.....
-
Good morning!
Didn't feel quite as hot this morning when I went out to get the newspaper, and the storm that was predicted passed over my neighborhood without dropping any rain.
-
is a good idea....as is...reading a book all by yourself.
Do HHW posts count, as long as you're by yourself when reading them??

Definitely have MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST as first priority this afternoon when I come back from lunch. There is nothing new on TV for tonight, so I'll be combing through DVDs to come up with some selections for tonight.
-
TOD:
I've never been much of one for party games.
Ditto! Been to too many of those girlie showers (which I hate and will turn you off to party games forever!)
...the right food, the right beverages and the right guest list usually leads to not needing no stinkin' games ...
-
Anyone seen the new HARRY POTTER film yet? I just made plans with my friend Hal to see it on Monday. Maybe the crowds will have died down just a bit by then.
-
Party games: not big on them. I've played some of the ones mentioned here, but I'm not a big fan of competition at parties. There are other games usually going on.
-

A bow and most gracious thanks to DR JOSE S PIANO for the care package that arrived today.
I found what I was looking for in the second program from Westport....there seemed to be so much missing in the first one.
LOL
A Chorus Line bag will be my official carrier for THE SUNSHINE BOYS.
I haven't yet look through all the wonderful Playbills....but I have looked at the covers. Such treasures!!
And in answer to your question....red xxl....and let me know how much to put in your PayPal account.
And thanks to DRs JOSE and JASON for the GYPSY report.
-
Hmmm...nothing is more fun than getting a newbie to play Spin the Bottle, Truth or Dare and Strip Poker for the first time!
And even more fun to get him to play them all at the same time!
Especially after he's had a few drinks in him!
-
Thesaurus!
-
As for the Brain auditions on the 17th - which I think are the EPAs - well, I haven't been contacted (yet), so 'tis not I. -Although, everyone seems to be getting last-minute "emergency" calls for pianists lately. I've talked to a couple of my colleagues over the past couple of days, and we've all been getting a couple of "Oh, I need someone tomorrow morning at 9:30" calls (at 10:00 at night), or "My pianist just told me he can't stay for the afternoon session..." calls. In any case, I'm not on for the 17th. *And, actually, I believe I'm heading back down to Virginia next week for a few days, so I won't be available.

bk - So glad to hear that you and Sal and Liz and Jason and "other" ;) had such a good time last night. Have they moved out there? Or are they now a bi-coastal family?
And I can't imagine how big their boys are now. When Liz and Sal did Sunday in the Park with George at Arena Stage back in 1997, Alessandro was practically a newborn, just six months old or so. And sometimes Alex would stay in Liz's dressing room during the show. It was always great to visit during the "obituary" scene at the top of Act 2.
-
Anyone seen the new HARRY POTTER film yet? I just made plans with my friend Hal to see it on Monday. Maybe the crowds will have died down just a bit by then.
I believe DRs DerBrucer and SWW saw the movie the other day. And liked it. And that's really all they could say about it without posting spoilers.

Adriana, I don't know how, but your exclamation points don't show up in your message...somehow you got the "glow=red,2,300" code before the "move=..." code.
Hmm.. Her exclamation points - not to be confused with here "tellies" (sp?) ;) - in her post showed up in my browser. Although, I think that's because the Glow formatting doesn't usually work with Safari.

I'm looking forward to Gypsy. I'm gonna have to drag my butt uptown and see what's left at the Ticket Office (We don't sell boxes, we sell tickets - a phrase from my Theatre Management college professor).
It's selling well, not great. However, I believe the big "surprise" to the folks at City Center is that most people seem to be buying the better, more expensive seats for this production. The Rear Mezz and Gallery have practically been empty so far, while the Orchestra and Grand Tier have been almost sold out the past few days. -There were only about 40-50 people upstairs in the Front Gallery with me last night. They've also been sending blocks of tickets over to TKTS throughout the day so far. We'll have to see if that trend continues after the reviews come out.
-
Are you planning on coming in to see it?
No definite plans at the moment...
-
What show is this from?
Les Fables de La Fontaine, Robert Wilson, Lincoln Center.
-
Well, I have "Cassie Dance" rehearsal in two hours, and I have an errand to run before I sit down at the piano, so...
Laters...

...And I think people are waiting to see what the reviews are like before buying their tickets.
-
before I sit down at the piano...
I love how Victor Borge used to sit down at the piano, turn to half the audience, and say, "Pardon my back!"
Then, he'd turn to the other half of the audience and say, "Pardon my front!"
"But...that's the way I'm built!"
;D
-
I don't know who they're using for the EPAs, but our Jose will be called for the auditions that take place for me.
-
Liz and Sal are thinking about staying through November, but they're not sure yet. They really like it here. Jason and his ever-lovin' landscaper are still together after all these years.
-
Oh, and I'm up.

Has someone already posted this report about the Magnolia Bakery being temporarily closed down?
http://www.ny1.com/ny1/content/index.jsp?stid=8&aid=71594

the Magnolia Bakery
Apparently, they had everything but the kitchen sink...

Does the recently errant and truant Miss Karen know about shares? :)
-
The choreographer from the movie HAIRSPRAY was a judge on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE last night...Adam something....and he was shut down a couple of times by Nigel.... But he did tend to go on and on and break into other people's time.
And Mary's back tracking on the Cedric trainwreck was very disappointing.
My favorite couple again last night Lacey and ??? darn, I forget his name.
-
Alas DR JOSE S PIANO...an XL is but a memory for me and my barrel chest....I am hoping that will not be the case by fall....but for now, I guess.....I can't have one.
Her signature? Oh my I looked too quickly through the Playbills....I must go on a search!!
-
Happy Birthday DR Cillaliz! Hope you have a great day!
-
Oy!!!!
I have a signed Playbill from Ms Suzanne Sommers record breaking - or mind blowing Broadway one woman evening of entertainment.....
Thanks....words fail me!
-
And I was thinking maybe Eartha signed something....this is....well even MORE than I was thinking....
-
OUW VEWY OWN ACTUAW CIWWAWIZ!
:)
LOL, I loved the Ciwwawiz!
-
I'm curious how many are still watching So You Think You Can Dance. I just love this show. I think it gets better as we get to know the dancers.
Interesting that nigel mentioned a petition to bring back jessie. I don't really love her. But i totally agree. That whole point of the show is for the judges to only vote out who america puts in the B3. I think it is totally unfair what the judges did last week.
-
Friday the 13th is not an unlucky day and with the new moon in Cancer on Saturday, it is a good time to tend to personal family matters. A home improvement plan is a good idea....as is turning off the phone and reading a book all by yourself.
Interesting, I have already decided not to set any appointments tomorrow and to catch up organize, that sort of thing. Not quite the same, but close
-
Oh and re: last night's episode of So You Think You Can Dance.
It sort of bugs me that some dancers get much better choreography. I mean all the dancers are good. So the better choreography can really make a difference.
I absolutely loved Sabra and dominic. They had my favorite choreography. I just loved loved love it. I also really liked danny and anya. I love their dancing. And i thought their choreography was very good.
I liked jamie (waltz). But it did not suit hok (who i usually love).
I'm not sure what i thought of lauren and neil. I really like him. But am not as crazy about her. But the choreography was very good.
Also not sure if i like pasha and sara together. The judges loved it. But i didn't.
I am also not that crazy about shauna. Although she has been pretty good lately. But i thought that cedric was really good last night. I was surprised considering the style.
It will be very interesting to see who america puts in the bottom 3. I think they love hok. But on performance he should probably be up.
Also i wonder when they change partners. It seems like they have stayed together too long. And these partnerships can also really affect voting!
-
Maybe you were excited with it being your birthday and all --
HAPPY BIRTHDAY and MANY MORE!
Naw, I think it was more the feeling of being a bit overwhelmed with all the new cases and trying to learn all this new stuff so quickly. I know I've studied and studied, but with real people it still feels a bit like trial by fire. Anyway, I had a great appointment with a client seeking asylum from persecution in an African country. I think I'm absolutely going to love this work.
-
Yes DRJANE....Miss Blue Moon comes indoors on these hot afternoons....and sleeps indoors during threats of rain or storm.....
As is should be ;D
-
Interesting, I have already decided not to set any appointments tomorrow and to catch up organize, that sort of thing. Not quite the same, but close
Close enough! ;D

As is should be ;D
They do the same with me. 8)

Is Saturday the 14th a good day for home improvements also? I have moss on my roof.
-
I thought Cedric was awful last night.....Shauna pulled him through.
I voted a few times for everyone EXCEPT Cedric and Shauna and Danny and Anya. Would like to see them in the Bottom Three but who knows.
I will miss the show tonight....since it is OPENING NIGHT for A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM.....but I will check the results in the morning.
I liked Dominic too....and I thought Hok was weak, but it was the dance. As DR JENNIFER pointed out....the choreographer really makes a difference.
-
Is Saturday the 14th a good day for home improvements also? I have moss on my roof.
Yes it is. Moss Hart? :o
-
They do the same with me. 8)
What? Let you sleep inside when it's too hot or there is a threat of storms?
-
Well I must do some work. This afternoon the Dex guy will be here to do my yellow pages ad. Looking forward to getting that finalized. It's a must around here to be in the yellow pages.
-
Thanks to all for the Happy Birthday greetings. When I came out from my appointment, there was a bouquet of flowers from my DF Gretchen. What a wonderful surprise~!
-
Has anyone seen Evening? Tonight is the last night it's here and I'm trying to decide if I want to go.
-
A wonderful Happy Birthday to DR Cillaliz...another person I really wish could have joined us in NYC again this time!

I have moss on my roof.
Too bad rolling stones won't gather it...

With that cast, you think, "How could they miss?", but I've seen mixed things about it.

My favorite couple again last night Lacey and ??? darn, I forget his name.
Ah, i wrote my post before seeing yours.
Lacey's partner is kameron. Wow i'm surprised that they are your favorites.
There is something about them i'm not crazy about. I figured most people were voting for them because she's benji's sister.
I was actually happy with what mary said. Cedric might not have been the best last night. But he was totally different than how he has been. He really seemed improved.
Btw, i thought it was a bit weird for them to have a judge not from the show. I don't remember them doing that in past years. But i guess they started it with debbie allen. It's interesting i guess to get a new perspective. And to at least get judges who watch the show.
-
Has "On the Lot" been on hiatus? I wasn't watching it, but noticed that there have been no comments about it here lately.
-
Obviously a promotion for HAIRSPRAY.....
-
I guess I shall now be on my way to rehearsal, after which I shall return. Hopefully, CDs will be here by then, but, you know...
-

They have a hour somewhere on the FOX schedule....I think Tuesday night....but it is not doing so well in the ratings.... ::)

Maybe DR JMK is still watching ON THE LOT.

Saw this bird outside my kitchen window this morning. Couldn't have been more than 2 inches tall. First time I'd ever seen a yellow bird in my little postage stamp backyard (I mostly get ducks, robins, blackbirds, and cardinals. And the occasional muskratty type thing, as I live right by a manmade pond.
Anyone know what it is?

Off to do some things...
-
Saw this bird outside my kitchen window this morning.
What a fine looking creature!
-
Thursday greetings! "Broken weather" seems to be an epidemic - it hit here in SW Ohio last night, too. It was so-o-o-o nice to turn off the AC, open the windows, and hear the birds singing this morning.
Here's a story from this morning's Cincinnati Enquirer that may interest some:

And now..... direct from the booming and bustling Indianapolis airport.....
----- UNDERPANTS !! ----

... and I just can't wait to say......
HAPPY Birthday to the weally wonderful CIWWAWIZ !!!
-
As I was reading today's column notes, it was bad enough with the Elmer Fudd references, but then when I saw dear Cilla's name "translated" I started to laugh out loud, and then tried to stifle laughing, and then that just made it worse!
There are very puzzled looking people sitting near and across from me, and they are looking very afraid. :)
Dear Esteemed, worked, worked-out, and wavishing BK -- .... it is (this time) ALL YOUR FAULT. I am an absolute sucker for Fudd-ese !!
-
Apparently, they had everything but the kitchen sink...
So did Jason Graae!
-
Hi StringDock/Naomi..... I hope all is good/happy/serene/productive with you this fine day.
Hi dear DR Ginny....It was sure nice meeting you in person in NY !
-
Hi Elmo...... How are you doing today? Any more news on the new lease? I've been a little out of touch the past few days.
-
Is Saturday the 14th a good day for home improvements also? I have moss on my roof.
I think Friday would be a much better day to work on your roof, DR MBarnum!
-
Hi Elmo...... How are you doing today? Any more news on the new lease? I've been a little out of touch the past few days.
It's in the hands of the Institute's attorneys now. Thanks for asking.
-
Hello, darling DR MusicGuy! Hope your business in Indianapolis continues successfully! I guess you weren't able to meet DR JRand56 for pancakes this morning... :(
-
Also dear Larry...there was a picture recently of you at your computer/work desk at "Chez Moore." What is that gigantic, bullet-shaped device.... is that a monitor or some sort?
-
[move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]***continued LEASE-SIGNING vibes and xylophones***[/size][/color][/move]
for DR elmore3003!
-
What is that gigantic, bullet-shaped device....
It probably had DR MBarnum's name all over it!
-
Dear Naomi.... No, I haven't had much time at all to log on here or check messages. And the work I needed to do got successfully accomplished, but it turned out to be a very long hard day yesterday, and then I had a little followup to finish this morning.
Hi Jack.....maybe we can meet sometime in the future whenever I'm here next.

-
It probably had DR MBarnum's name all over it!
Now now... I imagine that Mikey's gigantic bullet-shaped device is absolutley lovely and studly, all at the same time. :o
-
Dear Elmo.... dear Elmo..... Is you here??
(I always loved the part on "Bewitched" when Samantha would stand in the middle of the living room and say "....calling Dr. Bombay, calling Dr. Bombay...please come in right away......."
-
...
Hi dear DR Ginny....It was sure nice meeting you in person in NY !
Likewise, DR MusicGuy!
BTW, the device in the photo of DR Elmore is an
eMac (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMac)
the same kind of computer I use at home. It looked so different from the angle in the photo.

DR Singdaw - yeah :'(
DR MusicGuy - LOL ;D

Well, I guess there's one show in NYC that certain people won't be getting in for free:
"Free Tickets To Play" (http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newyork/ny-bc-ny--likeavirgin0712jul12,0,5854829.story?coll=ny-region-apnewyork)

I used to have a co-worker who insisted, whenever we had an office cake, that only virgins could get the pieces with the icing flowers...

I slept. And slept. And slept. Patti wore me out yesterday! But I'm up now.
That's all I have to say right now.
Well, that...and, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR CILLALIZ!!
-
dear Jason.... I'm just finishing up my trip here to Indy, and am at the airport waiting for my plane.
Hmmmmm.. you might be right, as far as Indy not being so uneventful after all........ I'm just saying......

Oh Naomi, you are so modern and advanced! I didn't know you could do such a thing. At least I've never heard of it with my simple phone....

Well, here's a video of Julie Andrews (http://alfocus.ala.org/videos/julie-andrews-emma-walton-hamilton) that turned up in my professional reading.

I've used my cell for my Palm TX. It's clunky and the connection is easily broken if you move it out of the infrared signal range.

;D ;D I am waughing at this too, but at weast I'm awone so no heows me waughing

To be more precise it's an American Goldfinch. When I lived at the lakes there were flocks (is it a flock of goldfinchs?) of them near my house. It was so cool to see all these little yellow birds flying around together.
-
And yes, that is the same bird Rob Lowe killed with a golf ball while golfing in Des Moines
-
Oh Naomi, you are so modern and advanced!
Mind you, I've never done this myself...
Was just wondering if it had worked for anyone else. :)
-
Oh and they like niger thistle seed. If you feed them they will stay in your back yard
-
.... (nice smile)....
I can vouch for the fact that you have a lovely smile! :)
-
They just boarded the whole group of people that were waiting here in the airport...... and the announcement was "we need to board the flight to Baltimore in a very quick manner, as our captain tells us that if we can't take off in 15 minutes, then you will all be stranded here in Indianapolis, due to a bad weather front in Baltimore."
You should have seen all of the faces grimacing and plotzing..... and so of course, it seemed that everyone started moving even slower.
Go know !
-
(is it a flock of goldfinchs?)
I think it should be a gob or a glut of goldfinches.
-

Are they native to Virginia, do you know? Or has someone's pet escaped from its cage? Not that it matters because I'd never be able to catch it...
And thanks for the info, Cillaliz!
-
I can vouch for the fact that you have a lovely smile! :)
Awwww, shucks mister....I'll bet you say that to every older semi-retired musician that you meet.
By the way, I may have missed a post, but did a little surprise package arrive at Casa Winkworth yet?
-
I've used my cell for my Palm TX.
Thanks, DR Dan (the Man)!

Just got a message that the upload folder is full

I'll give it a try.
It is odd in 3 years of living here I'd never seen one before. But then, I don't spend that much time looking out my kitchen window...so it was just chance I saw it today.

THey like sunflowers, too. My sister has been growing sunflowers in her yard and often spots gold finches flitting about them.

I'll give it a try.

-
Not yet, but...
Expectans, Expectavi! :)
??hmmmmm.... kind of odd? But I use what is called a "Media Mail" rate for small packages, and sometimes it is fairly swift, and at other times not so swift.
I wonder if dear Esteemed BK ever uses the "Media Mail" rate, and what his experience has been?

I brought car in from its 60,000 mile matainence (actually 55,000 miles) so I can some hours to kill and I went to the 9:30am showing of Harry Potter and _________(whatever it was called) Besides myself there was one other person in theater.
The film is a lot darker than some of the other. It is definitly not a bright, cheery uplighting story. I have not read the book so I cannot tell you what was left out.
I enjoyed it for what is was 2.5 hr time filler while my car was being worked on.
-
;D
I used to have a co-worker who insisted, whenever we had an office cake, that only virgins could get the pieces with the icing flowers...
I'll bet that cake got stale fast.

I was somewhat disappointed A THOUSAND SPENDID SUNS was not as beautifully, poetically written as THE KITE RUNNER, but then to me few books are. Nor was the story as heart wrenching, which some might consider a good thing. Both books capture the plight of the Afghanistan people, told with completely different stories.
It isn’t fair to expect brilliance every time. So, on its own merits I found the book riveting, obviously since I didn’t put it down until six this morning.
Ginny, it would make a good discussion book.
-
Has any DR ever used their cell phone as a modem for their laptop? How does that work for you?
David, does your question have anything to do with this question posed by a reader to the columnist in the New York Times today?
Technology from the NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/12/technology/circuits/12askk.html?em&ex=1184385600&en=e28afd4f857ba386&ei=5087%0A)

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! :)
I noted during my recent trip that there were times when I did not have access to a wireless network for my laptop. And, since my phone has an unlimited data plan, I looked it up, and yes - the specs say my phone can be used as a modem. And then, today's Times confirmed that it can be done. :) It sounds from DR Dan (the Man) like it may not work as smoothly as they might want you to think.

Yes, safe and easy ***TRAVEL VIBES*** to DR MusicGuy!!

Or is that ***TWAVEW WIBES*** ? ;)

In light of our discussion earlier, I thought this entry from wikipedia was interesting:
In Ancient Rome, the Vestal Virgins (sacerdos Vestalis), were the virgin holy priestesses of Vesta, the goddess of the hearth. Their primary task was to maintain the sacred fire of Vesta. The Vestal duty brought great honor and afforded greater privileges to women who served in that role. They were the only female priests within the Roman religious system.

I wonder if dear Esteemed BK ever uses the "Media Mail" rate, and what his experience has been?
I'm surprised he uses the Post Awful at all. With UPS your packages are tracked even if sent ground and their rates are in line with the USPS for all but the lightest of letters. Their system is much more efficient as well. Yes, there is an occasional loss or damage of a package, but nowhere near as prevalent as the USPS.
-
Does the recently errant and truant Miss Karen know about shares? :)
If she's helping to enable Cason to do the show, that could be an investment...
-
Happiest of birthdays, dear Cillaliz!!!!
I had a ham chunk and cheese slice in your honor at lunch!

I think I'm absolutely going to love this work.
And your clients will be lucky that you've chosen this field!

Is Saturday the 14th a good day for home improvements also? I have moss on my roof.
According to Elton John, all you have to do is sit on the roof and kick it off.

No CDs - what else is new? I now have the number of the plant and I'm on the phone with them now. They'll be finished in thirty minutes, I've just been told. They're now trying to get hold on the CD lady so she can pick them up and get them to me. Naturally, she isn't answering her cell phone. I told them if they haven't gotten in touch with her in thirty minutes, that I'll come and get them - they're in Burbank, and it's a pain in the ASS, but I'll do it.
-
CDs should be here by two. If they are, I'll package 'em up and get 'em to the post office today. If they come later, then it will have to be in the morning.
-
FJL - please get me an address where Milla would like her copies sent to.

The choreographer from the movie HAIRSPRAY was a judge on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE last night...Adam something....and he was shut down a couple of times by Nigel.... But he did tend to go on and on and break into other people's time.
I think he both directed and choreographed the film. Adam Shankman or something like that.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may...

I really have to make a decision re Barry Pearl as The Brain. I'm very tempted to do it, but I'm just in a weird position because I a) don't know who in NY might be available to us, and b) whether we're rethinking the Brain head - if we use what we did, I don't know any leading actors who would care to be in a Brain head the whole show, whereas Barry totally "gets" the gig and its requirments. I know he'd sing it well, and I know he's funny.

Thanks, DR Michael. All of the books/movies from here on out are supposed to be dark. Lord Valdemort has returned, and it's now a fight to the death.
Lots has obviously been left out. HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX is the longest of the books and has the shortest running time of any of the films yet produced.

I had time this afternoon to watch three programs. I began with MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST. It was a funny show this week as Kathy hosts the Gay Porn Awards, has a blind date with a poker champion (a total pig), and then entertains at both women's and men's prisons. The prison sequences which were the last half of the show were funny but also quite touching as we see many inmates who are learning skills like auto repair and culinary management that they'll be able to apply once they're released. Kathy seemed moved by the experience of meeting some of these criminals making an hoest effort to turn their lives around.

Next, I enjoyed rewatching this week's episode of THE CLOSER. I wanted to clear the space on my DVR, so I needed to see it again today. What a harrowing episode, just as devastating the second time through as it was when initially watching.
-
I ended the afternoon finishing the last episode on disc 4 in the MURDER SHE WROTE set. It's another Jessica-less episode, this one centered on the faked suicide of a shrewish wife by what appeared to be her philandering husband. So, for most of the episode, it was COLUMBO-style as we thought we knew the killer and watched the detective track him down. A little wrench was thrown in at the last minute (didn't really ring very true.) Pat Hingle and Ron Leibman were the two most famous guest stars.

In the mail today, I got a studio screener of an upcoming movie from Magnolia Studios called CASHBACK. I'll be watching that tonight. I've heard good things about it.

Are they native to Virginia, do you know?
They have a very wide range so it wouldn't surprise me.

??hmmmmm.... kind of odd? But I use what is called a "Media Mail" rate for small packages, and sometimes it is fairly swift, and at other times not so swift.
That's my experience, too. Your CD's got here very quickly, MusicGuy, but I've had packages I've sent MM that took over a week.
-
??hmmmmm.... kind of odd? But I use what is called a "Media Mail" rate for small packages, and sometimes it is fairly swift, and at other times not so swift.
I wonder if dear Esteemed BK ever uses the "Media Mail" rate, and what his experience has been?
I've had Media Mail packages take four weeks, which is why I prefer Priority Mail. I consider Media Mail legalized postal theft.

DR elmore3003's fire escape must have been terrifying for you, then! :)
It's more terrifying in my company.

Yes, there is an occasional loss or damage of a package, but nowhere near as prevalent as the USPS.
I've had a different experience--for me, the USPS is the most reliable, and UPS had caused me to want to strangle someone there a number of times. I've also had several packages seriously damaged by them.
The only problems I've had with USPS is occasionally I will get someone else's mail, but then I take it to them.

Hm..I confess I'm surprised. But then, it's been a few years since I dealt with UPS on a daily basis...perhaps their service has gone downhill...
Everything seems to. :(

American goldfinches would be native to Virginia. There are probably more around than you would know about. Look at your local Petsmart for a feeder with tiny holes that would dispense niger (or thistle) seed. Or look for a little sack with niger seed. If you put out the feeder, you will probably see a dozen or so, as soon as they find it.
The finch feeder would be a long skinny tube with a yellow cap.

Time Warner, ladies and gentlemen - for the last two weeks the service has had so many glitches it's laughable. I finally called them yesterday, when the service went down, and they, as always, have to blame everything but themselves. While I was talking, the service came back on and I got off the call. Today it's happened three times in row in the space of fifteen minutes. I called, was on hold for eight minutes, then the call disconnected. I called again, and the call disconnected almost immediately, but not before having to listen to all that interminable voice mail crap. I'm afraid they are not going to like me when I finally get through.

Time Warner is sending out a technician to check the modem box and the line that's coming into the house. Of course, nothing on their end is wrong, only how can I have perfectly good signal niney percent of the time, and then this other ten percent have it just stop and then come back on its own, without me resetting anything. My fear, of course, is that they'll give me a "new" cable modem that won't work at all, as happened to a friend of mine.
-
Woody, you know Jason Graae too?
Not that well. We've only encountered each other once.
It was during BK's recording of Graae's An Evening of Self-Indulgence: Live at the Cinegrill. Der B and I had arrived at what we thought would be an early enough time, but the only seats left were practically right on stage, to the left of the playing area. It was more than kinda neat, being that close in.
Well, it's time for the encore, and he's singing "What More Can I Say" from Falsettoes, and he's seated on the other side of the stage... and there's no way he can not look at us, simply because of how the chair he's sitting in is facing. And der B and I are holding hands.
Comes the applause after the number, Jason comes over to us and thanks us and says something about seeing us holding hands. I think. The applause was so loud that I couldn't make out a word of what he was saying. Maybe he was cursing us out for not applauding enough during the evening. Personally, I'd like to think the former.
And that's my Jason Graae story.
-
Anyone seen the new HARRY POTTER film yet? I just made plans with my friend Hal to see it on Monday. Maybe the crowds will have died down just a bit by then.

DR TCB - Business for Grey Gardens has been relatively good, but not great. Even after the Tony nominations, they did not get that much of a bump at the box office. And I know that January and February were very slow for them. However, with Mary Louise Wilson leaving the show on July 29th, it was only sort of natural that the show would close then too. -Even though it's a "Tony winner", it's still a hard sell at the box office.

So, I think I am finally "one" with the "Cassie dance" (a.k.a. "Music and the Mirror"). Today's rehearsal went rather well, and I finally could just lay back and play and have fun. And, again, it's sooooo nice having the drummer there. The number was originally choreographed with a drummer to start off with, so, to have all those hits and accents truly makes a world of difference.
I also was able to catch the final part of the run before lunch break. The new cast members look and sound great! -And they still have a good week and a half before their debut.
-
BK - perhaps you missed my question yesterday: Could you please repeat how one goes about acquiring a Brain share?

Fun/funny site o' the day department:

You can have it phone your cell when you know you're going to be in a meeting you want to get out of. The call sounds "real"--there's a prerecorded voice calling you that "converses" with you. Or you can do what my sons did today, and have it call someone (in this case their mother) with a fake love call.
-
I also had to spend a bit of time at City Center today. No, I did not see Gypsy again today - although I was very tempted too since they still had a slew of tickets left for tonight's Opening. Instead, I was at City Center trying to find someone who could help me locate my business card holder that I left in the theatre last night. I had called this morning, and nothing had been turned into the Lost & Found, but they also told me that the Theatre Manager and the House Manager weren't in yet, and any L&F items may still be in their offices. So, around 3:00, I headed back over to City Center to see if I could go ahead and get back into the theatre, and check for myself. Well...
I went to the Box Office... Where I was then directed to go to the Stage Door Security Desk... Where I was then asked to sign in and go up to the 9th Floor Administration Offices... Where a most helpful executive assistant, Alex, tried to locate the on-duty Theatre Manager... Well, after she had called around a few places, she then called back down to the security desk, and was told that I could just be escorted into the theatre and go check my seat location from last night. Well...
Once I got back down to the desk, the security guard started to walk me in, but as soon as we got buzzed into the backstage area, her supervisor came in after us and said that since a rehearsal was going on, the theatre was closed. So, we headed back to the security desk... Where some of the staff were arguing back and forth about what someone had said earlier in the day regarding access to the loading dock. This went on and on for a few minutes. "So, what should I do now?" I asked. -Well, let me try to reach the Theatre Manager. At that point the other supervisor spoke up again, and told the guard to try her cell phone. -She's not here right now, but her cell phone number is right there. So... What does the security guard do? He gets on the intercom and walkie-talkie system asking for the Theatre Manager. :-\
After a couple of repeated pages - and some more arguing about the use of the loading dock - the security guard calls down to his supervisor who informs him again to call the Theatre Manager on her cell phone. So... The security guard tries the cell phone... No answer. Tries again... No answer... Then more arguing with the other guard about the loading dock...
"Um.. Excuse me, so what should I do now?" -Well, just write down your info here on this piece of paper, and we'll have someone get back to you later. OK...
Then I asked what time would the House Manager be in tonight... -7:30. "But, the show is at 6:30 tonight." -Oh, you're right. Well, I guess 6:00-ish then. So...
I make my way back around to the Box Office, and ask the friendly gentleman behind the window what time the House Manager would be in. -She'll be in at 6:00 for the 6:30 show. OK - although, 6:00 seems a little late for me for a 6:30 curtain, and an Opening Night to boot.
So, since I had a few errands to run around midtown, I took care of those, and then head back to the City Center around 5:45. I ask if the House Manager is available... -Not until 6:00. Hmm... OK. Then I start noticing various ushers and assistants walking in and out of the lobby doors, and I just eventually walk in and ask where the House Manager is.. -Right over there.
I explain my situation to her, and she says that once the theatre is open, that it would be OK to run upstairs and look for myself. Well... The opened the doors at 6:00, but the theatre proper did not open until 6:15.
And to bring this somewhat shaggy dog story to a close, I did not find my business card holder. And, yes, I'm a little bummed about it. I've actually had it for a couple of years, and it was really "cool", and just perfect for my needs. Of course, besides my business cards and some cards from other people, I used to keep my MetroCard for the subway, and, of course, I had just bought a new one yesterday for the week. -And, of course, you can't request a credit for a One Week MetroCard, only 30-day one. In any case...
Maybe I'll get a call from the lost and found office tomorrow telling me they found it, and that I can go pick it up. Or I may just head down to Tumi or Macy's or Sak's or Business Card Cases 'R' Us and buy a new one. However, I really do like the one I had/lost. And since I bought it in Richmond, and since I'm heading down there next week, well... We'll see. *Although, I do have to admit that I already did check at Sak's and the MoMA Design Store... And the Tumi store was already closed by the time I went by there.
Basta!

Wow, that was a long post.

As for USPS vs. UPS... As I've stated before, I've always had good service - luck - with the USPS. Yes, there have been occasional glitches, but what business doesn't from time to time. And UPS rates lately have gone up so much, that they're really not a practical alternative anymore.
-

Jose, my what a long story. ;D Please forgive my laughing, I do hope your case shows up tomorrow.
-
Jose, my what a long story. ;D Please forgive my laughing, I do hope your case shows up tomorrow.
No worries. I just figured after all the inept people I had dealt with, and the frustration, that I was just bound to find my credit card case. I'm just glad that I did not put some "mad cash" or my ID in there like I sometimes do. Then I definitely would have been in a panic.
-
DR Jose - that story sounds like a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing! Sorry you lost your business card case - hope tomorrow is a lucky Friday the 13th and you find it.

DR Laura:
Quotes from 3D:
Sell shares in the production here! Everyone who contributes gets their money back and a name in the program...
Hey, if you're serious, I'll put my money where my mouth is. 500 people contribute $100 each via paypal...guaranteed to get it back via paypal at show's close?
$50 or $100, depending on how many people contribute.
Response from BK:
Well, 500 people would net us 50K - so how about 50 people at 100 per?
Tell you what - before we get anyone to actually do it - how about everyone who's interested can send me an e-mail at kritzerland@aol.com and if we get fifty folks, I'll give the go-ahead. Then, when the box-office receipts are distributed to us (usually takes a month or two from what I understand), then dough is returned via paypal. I like it!
-
In the Gypsy reports, I don't think anyone has discussed the "You Gotta Get a Gimmick" number. How were those 3 ladies?
They practically steal the show! Alison Fraser - who supped at Joe Allen once with bk and a couple of DRs - Marilyn Caskey and Nancy Opel really make the number their own. And Marty Pakledinaz's costumes are a "gimmick" in themselves.
-
And UPS rates lately have gone up so much, that they're really not a practical alternative anymore.
I thought it was the USPS that had a recent rate hike that everyone was up in arms about. (Well, every magazine publisher.) But of course they wouldn't be using UPS either so that's a moot point.
-
DR singdaw - A friend of mine who is a trucker, swears by his cellphone modem. Yes, it's not always the fastest connection, but it basically works anywhere he is, and he managed to get a great deal on a data plan. He uses Sprint. Sprint used to sell a separate data kit for their phones, but I think some of them now are equipped with a USB hook-up.

Today's Note's Title reminded me of TENDERLOIN, and to my amazement, there is actually a discussion of "Artificial Flowers" over on a Broadway chat site - discussing the pros and cons of Bobby Darin's brilliant (IMHO) cover of that Bock/Harnick song. To be honest, if I had to start a list of my favorite Darin songs (and arrangements) I think that "Artificial Flowers" would place second, behind "Beyond the Sea."
. . .and wiring and waxing she waned. . .
-
Has "On the Lot" been on hiatus? I wasn't watching it, but noticed that there have been no comments about it here lately.
We still watch it here. It's OK. The format really sucks, and the hostess is ANNOYING!!!!
-Just sayin'. ;)
-
DR MusicGuy - Safe Travel Vibes to you today. I'm sure Sugar will be most happy to see you again.
-
I'd certainly never heard of "Tenderloin" when I first heard and loved "Artificial Flowers" DR td.
"Beyond the Sea" will always be at the top of my list too. The "That's All" Album is one the truly greats of its time.
-
As for postal rates... Well, all things considered, paying $0.42 to have a letter delivered from Point A to Point B - and Point A could be Key West, FL, and Point B could Honolulu, HI - is still quite the bargain. Heck, even $8.95 for the large Flat Rate Priority Mail Box isn't bad at all for occasional shipping. Yes, I know any sort of postal rate increase will always affect businesses more than individuals, but in comparison to how much it would cost to deliver that on your own, using your own vehicle and fuel, well... It's all about perspective. -And remember, in terms of today's delivery times, the Pony Express was never really that "express".
-
I thought I had missed wishing MusicGuy safe travels, but since he doesn't appear to be home.....
SAFE TRAVEL VIBES!

It's on Youtube. There's a ... riff, is it called? a series of notes over and over again, and at the end they're really high. So if anyone with an ear could list the instruments used, in particular the one for the high notes... I'd be most grateful!

Great minds think alike. There's also this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x32OgzQCKJM&NR=1
The first one just sounds like flute to me, but the one I posted has a weird, almost Moog-ish thing happening up high that I can't identify at such lo-fi.

Actually it sounds like a "Grusin"-ish flute and glock combo in a couple of places (a la those great Mendes orchestrations from 1968-70).

Yeah, but it has that sine tone quality to it (at least on the tiny speakers on this computer). Maybe 3D can place the year of the color credits from my link--if it's post 1967 it could actually be a Moog.

And speaking of flutes...
It wasn't until a few years ago that someone pointed out to me just how out of tune the flute solo is in the song "California Dreaming" Consequently, everytime I hear that song, all I can hear is the flute solo, and it's ain't pretty at all. It's actually almost painful to listen to. However, before I "noticed" it, I didn't really notice it.
California Dreaming (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYWCvLVLM08)
*I've always loved the bathtubs in this clip!
-
Well, maybe a flute and/or piccolo that's been "processed".
Thanks Jose and JMK. Much appreciated.
A flute! See, I have no ear! I like the sound of it, but I could never distinguish which instruments are used....
-
Of course, it appears the flute pitches were corrected for the above appearance.
-
...Or maybe it was another flute solo in another song... ???
In any case... That songs ROCKS!
-
Aww... I had sent a little note to the casting director for Gypsy congratulating him on assembling such a great company. And then he reminded me in his response that I was a part of the process too. And I guess I was.
:)
-
*Although, I still have yet to be paid for my part of the process, so maybe that's why I "forgot". :-\

I would get tickets to this concert if I wasn't concerned about getting snowed in & missing it.
An Evening With Patti LuPone
Monday, January 28, 2008, 8pm
Presented by Craterian Performances (The Ginger Rodgers Theater)
Tickets: Section A-$68, B-$62, C-$56
-
First Wendy's, then Pinkberry, now Magnolia Bakery! What's going on?!?!? Stop the madness!!!! Next thing you know, they'll be telling us there are rats that run up and down the subway tracks and sometimes on the platform stations! :-\
I, of course, blame you, DR Jose!
Charlotte called. We're seeing Harry Potter tomorrow night.
-
I, of course, blame you, DR Jose!
Umm... I'm not the one who lets vagrants sleep on his fire escape!

I have MAGIC TIME to begin reading tonight, if I can stay away. My eyes are burning & my vision is blurred. I can't believe I was so wide awake last night. I had no idea it was so late, or early, until I noticed the sky getting lighter.
-
Charlotte called. We're seeing Harry Potter tomorrow night.
I highly suggest buying your tickets in advance. Especially for a Friday night. One of my roomies went to the midnight showing on Wednesday morning/Tuesday night. It had sold out a week in advance. And all but one of the showings on Wednesday day at Times Square were sold out.
-
'night
-
Been to too many of those girlie showers (which I hate and will turn you off to party games forever!)
Oh, Gawd, yes!! One Tupperware party was enough for the rest of my life, thank you very much! How I loathe that stuff!!!
-
OK... Time for an e-break...
Laters...
-
...Or maybe it was another flute solo in another song... ???
In any case... That songs ROCKS!
No, it's definitely sharp, but guess what? It's because it's been "processed" (as some wise man once said). Believe it or don't, that's legendary session flautist Bud Shank--he did his solo in two octaves and they double-tracked them, giving it that weird out of tune flavor. You can hear producer Lou Adler talking about it if you download the file on:
http://www.npr.org/programs/morning/features/patc/californiadreamin/index.html
which, as you may have guessed, is a whole feature on the creation of the song.
-
Here's another question, for any legal beagles out there.
Composer Alexander Courage wrote the theme music to Star Trek. Gene Roddenberry wrote lyrics to that music....supposedly so that he could get half of the royalties from it.
But, there are no lyrics when the music is played on the show... so why should he get royalties from it. Shouldn't he only get royalties if someone actually recorded music and lyrics together and tried to sell that?
-
Cardholder-finding vibes to Jose
-
Didn't Carroll O'Connor laso write lyrics to the closing credits of ALL IN THE FAMILY and then get credit in the show's ending crawl for that even though the lyrics were never sung in the closing crawl?
Why, yes, he did. I wonder if he made money from that, though.
-
One my way home I was listening to a homemade collection of songs on my cd player and the song playing as I got home was MY HEART IS SO FULL OF YOU sung by Liz Callaway and orchestrations by Mr. Larry Moore.
Absoluting breath taking in its scope and beauty. The musical bridge is gorgeous Alex Ryback's piano playing is stupendous. The simplicity of the violin & flute (?) compliments the piano playing. It is one of my favorite pieces of music that Mr. Moore has orchestrated.
Bruce Kimmel producing and Vinnie Cirilli's engineering make it perfection. In my over 8 thousand songs on my system hard to believe that Liz Callaway's recordings (THe other is her live cabaret perfromance with her sister) are the only ones I have other than cast recordings.
I just had to say it (write it) If you have a chance to listen to it please do.
Everyone at their finest.

There is also Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Bonanza (although it was sung by the cast at end of pilot and never use again) That Girl's first few season theme was sans lyrics. I am sure they all got some kind of royalities

I've had a different experience--for me, the USPS is the most reliable, and UPS had caused me to want to strangle someone there a number of times. I've also had several packages seriously damaged by them.
The only problems I've had with USPS is occasionally I will get someone else's mail, but then I take it to them.
I've had problems with USPS, UPS, and FEDEX. Packages never delivered, lied to, damage--all exasperating. (And I'm usually a pretty patient person.) As for receiving someone else's mail, it happens all the time in my neigborhood. Yes, I take it to them or give it back to the mail carrier, but I often wonder whether I receive all of mine that's been misdelivered. I once received a letter that had been opened--and since it contained a check it was rather disconcerting.

Just found this!!!!
Footlight Closing (July 18th)- see below for details:
To one and all:
It is with deep regret that I must inform you that we will be closing on July 18th. It has been a difficult decision, but there seems to be no choice. The company was going into debt by keeping the store open. Our rent went from $2500.00 to $5000.00 then to $7000.00 and the landlord wanted to raise it again the following year. This was a dream I had since I was a kid, to own a record store. If I had closed the store sooner and not incurred such a debt then maybe we could have continued as a web-based company. . .
Even that is doubtful in today’s market. Downloading is affecting us more and more plus you have the fact that many smaller companies that produce Cast Recordings pre-sell their recordings at a discount price. This has probably cut into about 40% of our sales in cast CDs.
Last of all many of you may not realize that even though I have a direct account with companies like Sony Music I do not pay the same price as Amazon. Amazon’s cost is much less than I have to pay, so how can I compete with this unfair practice.
Most of all I would like to thank all of you that have been our regular customers and stuck by us even when you could have saved a dollar going some where else. We will miss the communications that we have had with our customers, many of you for dozens of years.
The site will be up and running through July 18th you may still order through it till the 19th. Our e-mail address sales@footlight.com will be functioning till then. After that you will be able to reach us at the same phone number 718 963 0750 (the phone number will be valid through the 18th of July) or through our old e-mail address: footlight1@aol.com. We will still be here working for weeks after the site is closed in case you have questions about your orders.
You will be able to find the balance of our stock on Amazon under the name Footlight-com.
All the best to each and every one of you now and in the future,
Ron, Arnold, Dave, Richard, Steve, & Will

You have to have a co-publishing agreement. It's not necessarily 50/50. In the case of the Star Trek Theme, Roddenberry may have insisted on a 50/50 split to approve Courage's theme. Sometimes, however, when a lyric is added to a previously instrumental piece, the lyricist gets much less than a 50/50 split.
-
But enough about your personal life...
LOL. Good one, Edi.
-
Lots of viewing happened tonight. I guess I was getting it out of my system since I won't be home tomorrow night at all. Some friends and I are venturing up to Winston-Salem to see the local production of THE FULL MONTY tomorrow night.
I'll be on in the morning but possibly not again until Saturday afternoon.
-
I began with a MURDER SHE WROTE episode, another JESSICA-less concoction. This was another with Keith Michell as Dennis Stanton, former jewel thief and now insurance company investigator. Also in the guest cast were Ken Swofford and Shirley Knight.
-
Next I watched the screener I received this afternoon for the upcoming British release CASHBACK. It's a charming tale of a young artist getting over a devastating break-up by taking a job in an all-night supermarket. There he meets a kooky congregation of workers one of whom helps him get over his love blues.
SInce he's an artist, he sees the world often in still life rather than motion, so those moments, and his fixation on the nude female form, propel much of the action.
I liked it. It had charm and the director had a unique way of illustrating what went on in the artist's mind, a somewhat different kind of take on Walter Mitty-like daydreams.

However it happened, Courage wasn't happy about it, and apparently after the first season left the series.
-
Another MURDER SHE WROTE followed, and finally one with Jessica as a primary part of the story. This one had a once-mentally disturbed brother coming back to town for his sister's wedding only to have a similar murder happen again, similar to one that sent him to an institution the first time.
Big guest star cast: Shirley Jones, Doris Roberts, Robert Walker, Jr., Barbara Babcock, among others.
-
I ended the evening watching THE GAY DIVORCEE which I haven't watched all the way through in at least a decade. As it happened, I didn't get all the way through it this time either, but I'll finish it tomorrow. They were still dancing "The Continental" when I turned it off.
-
I have some writing to take care of and then it's downstairs to bed.
Good night!
-
Happy Birthday Cillaliz!
I hope you have had a wonderful day!
-
Thank you all once again for the Birthday greetings. I have had a nice day and a nice week, actually. Although I didn't plan to do it, I ended up spending one on one time with a number of friends this week, lunch with a former colleague, lunch with a friend I haven't seen for a while and tonight drinks with my friend whose son was killed. We had been doing one of those "Let's get together" sort of things for a long time, but not doing it. I called today and when she heard it was my birthday, we met. It was really nice to actually be able to talk one on one with people I like.

Hmm... Now I'm kind of confused/weirded out. I could have sworn that the flute solo was really out of tune, but now that I've listened to it a few more times over the past hour - :-X - it doesn't sound as bad as I thought it did, well, as I remembered it sounding. Maybe I'm used to it now. ;)
-
Party games...I remember a game called "Spoons", played with a deck of cards and spoons, which was kind of hilarious, but I can't remember how it goes, exactly...
Oh yes, I remember spoons...
WE also had quarters, a drinking game.
Let me see....
Charade, Pictionary/ Win Lose or Draw, Taboo, Pit, Twister (a local variation of the board game), limbo, Karaoke, Scene it! and Trivial Pursuit.
Some of the outside party games we did were
Auntie I over, Snipe hunting, horse,

They've been advertising this heavily on HDNet Movies. It's evidently going to be broadcast for one night there before its general theatrical release.

Like I said, it's definitely out of tune--but I think it's owing more to the overdubbing, hence bizarre overtone ratios, than to his actual playing. Bud Shank was a master (I think actually he's still alive and living in good old Pt. Townsend, WA, where he has a jazz festival every summer). Plus, obviously, his solo has some flatted 5ths that are supposed to sound "blue."

I just listened to it. I'm a flute player...well I started college as a flute performance major, anyway, it doesn't sound too bad to me, there are some bent tones, intentionally, and it is the low register, which is harder to play.....are you sure the guitar is totally in tune? ;)
-
But was there CAKE, DR Cillaliz???

He's also playing with his tone, it's breathier in some places. I used to love doing jazz flute stuff with flutter tongue etc.He's not doing that here, but I don't think all the effects are overdubbing, although I've been wrong a time or two
-
But was there CAKE, DR Cillaliz???
Actually no. I haven't had any cake at all today. I did have some sushi and a California roll, a great breakfast and one of those lousy Sonic burgers to soak up the margaritas I had during happy hour, but no cake.....I'll just have to keep celebrating and have some tomorrow....I did have 2 German Chocolate cupcakes last Sunday at a friend's birthday party
-
Well if you're talking drinking games, there's always "Bob" where you take a drink every time they say "Bob" during the old Bob Newhart Show
-
Those sound like good cake substitutes!
-

We played "King George" on July 4 during 1776. Well, any time they referred to King George.
Of course, I had a Diet Pepsi with lime and DR Sandra had a Cherry Coke.
-
I'd certainly never heard of "Tenderloin" when I first heard and loved "Artificial Flowers" DR td.
"Beyond the Sea" will always be at the top of my list too. The "That's All" Album is one the truly greats of its time.
Have I told you lately that you are a gentleman of impeccable taste.
well, except for one certain show. . . .

In any case...
Has anyone seen my business-card holder?

I was agreeing with you--I think it sounds waaay sharp at times. I've always thought it sounded weird. It wasn't until I found the NPR "article" with Adler talking about the overdubbing that it sort of started to make sense to me.
-
his solo has some flatted 5ths
I lo ve it when you guys talk musical.
-
In any case...
Has anyone seen my business-card holder?
;)
Sorry, no.
BUT, I did see, on dvd, THE ROMAN SPRING OF MRS. STONE. I was thoroughly mesmerized.
To think that two future Bond gals would be sharing screen time with Scarlet O'Hara/Blanche DuBois as well as BROADWAY MELODY's Bessie Love and BRIDE OF FRANKENSTIEN's Ernest Thesiger!
Vivien Leigh was outstanding, shame that her film career wasn't more productive - after STREETCAR, there was only one other British film between this, then came SHIP OF FOOLS. . .
-
I lo ve it when you guys talk musical.
Well here's my utterly pretentious "masters thesis" quote o' the day: The entire history of 20th century jazz can be seen as the evolution, both conceptual and literal, of the flatted 5th to the sharped 4th.
Discuss amongst yourselves. ;)

Saw this bird outside my kitchen window this morning. Couldn't have been more than 2 inches tall. First time I'd ever seen a yellow bird in my little postage stamp backyard (I mostly get ducks, robins, blackbirds, and cardinals. And the occasional muskratty type thing, as I live right by a manmade pond.
Anyone know what it is?
(http://www.geocities.com/nocturne_cvs/YellowBird.JPG)
I would say some sort of finch

Alas, I should have read a bit further before answering, Cilla answered the question...

Dakota, you're good at trivia. . .WITHOUT a web search, can you name the two future Bond gals who appeared in THE ROMAN SPRING OF MRS. STONE, and what their future Bond films were?

Glad to read of the reports of Patti in Gypsy..

You make her sound like a hotel! ;)
(St. John, actually)
Good guess!

Could not remember if it was St. John or St. James
I know it was a saint name..

Well, I managed to watch last night's and tonight's episodes of "So You Think You Can Dance?"...
There really wasn't a routine that I didn't like. Yes, there were better ones, but, all in all, I found them pretty good.
As for who got sent home... No real surprises there either.
-
It wasn't until a few years ago that someone pointed out to me just how out of tune the flute solo is in the song "California Dreaming"
That has always bugged me, as has the out of tune flute in the original M*A*S*H theme song. (I think they fixed it in later versions.)
And I think the Saint instrument is a piccolo, but I bet DR Elmore would know for sure!
-
Not as familiar with James Bond...
My DH was alarmed when he heard the instrumental CASINO ROYALE theme and I started singing lyrics to it---"Have no fear, Bond is here", etc.
He didn't believe that there were actual lyrics to this and thought I was making them up.
Burt Bachrach, not at his best, IMHO...
-
And the Banana Splits theme has a bad music edit that bugged me even when I was a kid!
-
DR Cillaliz continues to amaze me with her list of hidden talents!
-
I went to see Ian McLagen (keyboard player for the Small Faces/Faces) tonight at a local club. There were two opening acts; one was a Yardbirds cover band, quite good.
A friend of mine from high school sat in with the band. He's a great guitarist, formerly with the Georgia Satellites, but his humble origins included practicing in my mom's basement with my high school boyfriend's band.
Boy, my mom was a good sport.
It was nice to catch up with him, even though a lot of the talk consisted of remembering another friend of ours that I mentioned a few weeks ago, who passed on unexpectedly, and other rock and roll stories that would probably only be of interest to Tomovoz and Rodz.
-
Quite nifty! And thanks to DR George for putting it to the right size for me!
You're very welcome! I LOVE this movie!! ;D
-
OK... Time for sleep.
Goodnight.
-
George, I woke up to a very warm bed room....I decided it just wouldn't do and although it's cool outside, the open windows weren't doing squat, so I cranked the air conditioner and it's feeling much better. Maybe I can get some sleep
I am really thinking about getting a portable air conditioner...or seeing if I can be allowed to make my skylight in my loft bedroom an openable skylight. All of the condos in this complex have the exact same kind of skylights, except some are square and some are half-sized rectangles. When I was looking at places to buy, one of the other units in this complex had a square skylight (like mine) that could crank open! I hope that that's a possibility because otherwise, there really isn't any easy way to get rid of the hot air up there. :P
-
Today, my sister, my niece and I took our aunt Sister Cecelia and cousin John and his wife Angel around to the Olympia Farmer's Market, the state capitol building, up to Tumwater Hill Park and Tumwater Falls Park. It was a lot of fun (except that I got a sunburn) and we got to know my cousin a bit. I only took a few pictures with my cell phone camera. I specifically set out my digital camera to take with me, but I forgot it...darn it. :P But one that I thought to take was this. It's not a casino carpet, but it's the carpet in the viewer's gallery for the Washington State Senate. ;) The colors didn't turn out at all, but here it is. I hope DR Sandra likes it!
-
I'm back, and I'm zonked, and I am telling you I am not going - well, I am going to sit on my couch like so much fish for at least thirty minutes, so the notes won't be up until around 12:30 because I've got to relax and clear my brain tissues. So, be patient and they'll be up.
-
Last night, it was so hot in my place... How hot was it?? Well, it was so hot that I decided to sleep downstairs in my living room on my couch. The problem was that, as cool and comfortable the temperature is downstairs in my living room, the couch is too darn short for my height and THAT made sleeping downstairs quite uncomfortable. :( I did actually get some sleep, but I really think that I can handle the heat upstairs more than the smallness of the couch. I don't have room to move things out of the way to sleep on the floor downstairs, so that's not really an option, either. :-\ Tonight, I'll sleep in my bed, on top of the covers and I think I'll be fine.
-
DR JoseSPiano - Thanks for the cell phone/modem response.

Has "On the Lot" been on hiatus? I wasn't watching it, but noticed that there have been no comments about it here lately.
I had wanted to watch this, but with rehearsals and vacationing aunts, I never was able to see even one episode. :-\
-
And speaking of flutes...
all I can hear is the flute solo, and it's ain't pretty at all. It's actually almost painful to listen to.
The bathtubs are cute, though! :)

Everyone at their finest.
This is quite true...also one of my favorite tracks.

I had time this afternoon to watch three programs. I began with MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST. It was a funny show this week as Kathy hosts the Gay Porn Awards, has a blind date with a poker champion (a total pig), and then entertains at both women's and men's prisons. The prison sequences which were the last half of the show were funny but also quite touching as we see many inmates who are learning skills like auto repair and culinary management that they'll be able to apply once they're released. Kathy seemed moved by the experience of meeting some of these criminals making an hoest effort to turn their lives around.
I really liked this episode. It was very touching to see that these people wanted to make their lives better.

Nice carpet, DR George!!! :)

DR JMK, the popularity dialer sounds intriguing! I'll have to check it out.
