Title: BRYLCREEM
Post by: bk on July 28, 2007, 12:07:10 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were catchy, and now it is time for you to post until the catchy cows come home - they're currently touring the world looking for Brylcreem.

Post by: bk on July 28, 2007, 12:26:12 AM: And here is an Unseemly Trivia Contest question:

This season produced one huge musical hit, several other musical hits, a lot of musical misses, a few hit plays, and a lot of flop plays - in other words, business as usual. This particular flop play at least eked out a modest run, even though it was never heard of again. It was by a well-known and popular playright, who was also a well-known and popular screenwriter of some classic films. It was directed by a well-known director. In the cast was an actor who'd recently appeared in a classic musical and who would go on to play a memorable role in a film version of a Broadway musical. Also an actor who would go on to have a diverse film career, appearing in several classic motion pictures. Also in its cast were a male and female actor who would have an interesting connection years later. Also in the cast was a young actress who would have a semi-successful career in movies (she appeared in at least one classic by a hugely popular film director), and would then star in a beloved television series opposite a beloved television star. Finally, another actor in the cast would have legendary status doing something other than acting.

So:

Name the play and its author.

Name the play's well-known director.

Name the actor who'd recently appeared in a classic musical and would go on to play a memorable role in a film version of a Broadway musical and name his role in that film.

Name the actor who would go on to have a diverse career in films, and name at least two of the classic films he appeared in.

Name the male and female actors who would go on to have a very interesting connection many years later.

Name the young actress who would go on to a semi-successful film career, name her classic film and the hugely successful director, and name her beloved television series and her co-star.

Name the actor who would achieve legendary status for something other than acting.

Good luck to one and all and also all and one. Remember, do not post your answers to the site. Send them to me at bruce@haineshisway.com.

Let's just see if any of our regular smarty-pants get THIS one!

Brylcreem was a well known jingle here too.

I still remember the sickly scent of Californian Poppy hairoil.
Old spice - no thank you.

(But then I do not care for perfumes and scents much at all - especially if they are "heavy").

Marlboro of course! (The Julie London version - filter, flavoor (flavour), flip-top box.)

Post by: Jrand73 on July 28, 2007, 04:38:22 AM: Well.....sometimes the best thing to say is Nothing At All. Vickie, my friend with whom DR JOSE is somewhat familiar, taught me that as a director.

And last night.....I just sat down with the director and we started going through the music. When we needed something, we fixed it. When it worked, we did it again to reinforce it.

Yesterday afternoon, the set was built....to show specifications. Some minor adjustments had to be made, and were done.

Hopefully Monday - first day off book will go as smoothly.

Also had a SUNSHINE BOYS blocking rehearsal...all my scenes except the "Doctor Sketch".....

Back to Toyland for another round of edits today and little beyond that. Because of the whole office megillah, I've been pondering a time to see THE PEOPLE VS MONA by my friend Jim Wand, so I got a ticket for this evening. I'm looking forward to it.

I had a nice email from Rodney Gilfry, who just played Joe in the Ravinia Festival concert of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA with George Hearn. He'll be in Manhattan in early September, so I may drag him down to a rehearsal for "The Brain." He thinks the CD is a hoot.

Thank you, DR Julie. It will be relaxing for me, but not for DH Richard. It's his quarterly residency week for the distance learning MA in Ministry program, so he'll be in class and church most of the time. Last month, he played while I worked in Washington, DC, so this time our roles are reversed!

No, DR Singdaw. I "suspended" my reserve list, meaning that nothing will be filled for me until just before I go back to work. Since Richard just finished reading the book with his eyes, he probably wouldn't want to read it with his ears right away. We have some other audiobooks for the roadtrip.

This search through the ibdb is a real reminder that so many talented artists had forgotten misfires, but it seems that the artists that endured professionally were the lucky ones who had their hits first, and therefore didn't have their careers killed by their msifires.

It IS fun looking at all this theatre history, even though it's more fun to actually get the answer. :) :) :)

Well, there's another cruise coming up in September... It's not an almost-freebie like last time, but it's a pretty good deal. And it's a great itinerary: start in Vancouver, then down the West Coast with stops here and there, and ending up down in San Diego. It's a two-week cruise, and, right now, it fits in with my work schedule. However, it also overlaps with all the NYMF and HHW gatherings. So... I'm supposed to get the details sometime this weekend, and I guess I'll just go from there.

Well, I remember Brylcreem very well since my dad used it for years - then he switched to the VO5 stuff. I remember trying it out a few times, and I remember just how sticky and greasy it made my hair - and with my type of hair, I needed more than a little dab. And there was that Brylcreem smell too which is something I could never really put my finger - or nose - on, but it was very distinct, very Brylcreem-ish.

My Mom came running into the room when she first heard that commercial shouting "What's that commercial for? Should we get some of that stuff for you?"

I've exhausted my usual research tools. There's no obvious "hook" this time, which I'm sure the devious BK did on purpose. However, and I've been meaning to mention this before, does anyone else keep turning up the same names when researching these things? It gets hilarious after a while. Today's ubiquitous names were (IIRC--may have them wrong) Guthrie McClintic (or something like that) and, my new favorite, Speed Lamkin.

There was only about a week's notice that it would close. A number of the former staff members are going to be joining the newly renovated piano bar at RUBY FRUIT on Hudson Street.

It's a terribly sad loss to the cabaret community, following so closely on the heels of the recent closings of Danny's Skylight Room and Helen's.

It's a terribly sad loss to the cabaret community, following so closely on the heels of the recent closings of Danny's Skylight Room and Helen's.

Ah, maybe that explains the people moving sound equipment that we saw. I thought they were moving it in not moving it out. :-\

Post by: JoseSPiano on July 28, 2007, 11:22:17 AM: And Helen's closed too?!?!?!??!

When did that happen?!?!?! Now I know why there's been something "missing" when I walk through Chelsea. :(

Of course, I still miss 88's. I made my NYC Cabaret debut there in the upstairs room playing for a friend.

Thank you, DR Jeanne! The Monday after we get back, the Maytag repairman is due here to fix both our washer (works, but leaks) and our stove. The oven element blew just as DH Richard was putting meat loaf in for our dinner the other night. When I got home from work, he told me I'd missed the visit from an ambulance, a pumper, a hook & ladder, and the assistant fire chief (a former neighbor). The meat loaf is now in the freezer, waiting to be baked until the oven is repaired.

Today, I was looking for something on CD and realized there are exactly two stores left in all of LA - Amoeba and Virgin. I know you can get CDs at Best Buy and other jernts like that, but it really is shocking what's happened. I'd go to Tower, Music Plus, the Wherehouse, and about fifteen mom and pop stores that carried new CDs - I'm not talking about used stores. Horrible.

OH!

While walking around last night, I happened to run into a friend of mine, the friend who worked out the great deal for DR Jason and I to go on the cruise last fall. Well, there's another cruise coming up in September... It's not an almost-freebie like last time, but it's a pretty good deal. And it's a great itinerary: start in Vancouver, then down the West Coast with stops here and there, and ending up down in San Diego. It's a two-week cruise, and, right now, it fits in with my work schedule. However, it also overlaps with all the NYMF and HHW gatherings. So... I'm supposed to get the details sometime this weekend, and I guess I'll just go from there.

Would the cruise stop in Seattle??

The one time that I went to NYC, we went to 88's! Terry White (of Barnum and Nunsense fame) was tending bar and I recognized her! :D I got her autograph on an 88's table card. Several of us in the tour group even got to sing at 88's (mainly to each other). It was a great night. :)

And it's a great itinerary: start in Vancouver, then down the West Coast with stops here and there, and ending up down in San Diego. It's a two-week cruise, and, right now, it fits in with my work schedule. However, it also overlaps with all the NYMF and HHW gatherings. So... I'm supposed to get the details sometime this weekend, and I guess I'll just go from there.

If you do take it, maybe we can meet you at one of your stops.

Post by: JMK on July 28, 2007, 06:15:55 PM: BK, you have seen my "wall o'Brasilian music," so I could make a list for you that would stretch to page 200 (your fondest dreams coming true, LOL). I'll repeat some of my favorite artists and then you can go to town on your own treasure hunt (you can't go wrong with any of these, though some will be more orchestrated in the Ogerman/Sebesky style):

Any of the Caymmi family:
"Papa" Dorival, who was Carmen Miranda's MD--more old style samba
son Dori Caymmi (I think you would love Dori, he wrote "Like a Lover" among many others)
daughter Nana Caymmi (very, very low alto, haunting voice)
son Danilo Caymmi (is on a lot of the late Jobim albums, wrote "Brasil Nativo")

Marcos Valle (wrote a lot of the post-Jobim hits, like "Summer Samba")

Edu Lobo (absolutely incredible writer/guitarist, again post-Jobim, best known for tunes like "Casa Forte" and "Pra Dizer Adeus")

Milton Nascimento (quite possibly the most haunting singer/songwriter of the post-Jobim generation, too many classic tunes to list, though you might know the ones that Sarah Vaughan recorded)

Ivan Lins (the Gershwin of modern Brasilian music, and one of the most sophisticated songwriters of the past 25 years. Too many altered dominant sevenths to throw a stick at, LOL. You probably know his tune "The Island," but every album of his is exceptional).

OK that will keep you busy for a while.

They specialize in biscotti - the proprietor/baker makes about 16 varieties at a time. Some of them are even savory. Today's selection - well, my selection at least: Black Pepper-Marsala-Sesame Seed, Mango-Cashew-Coconut, Lemon-Pignoli, and Chocolate Chip-Macadamia-Chocolate. All quite good, and only $0.85 each! Quite the delicious bargain.

*She also has samples of all her varieties available for sampling. OH! And she also makes gelato too. I sampled the Peanut Butter and Jelly Gelato. Soooo good! Maybe next time I'll have more than just a small spoonful.

Post by: elmore3003 on July 28, 2007, 08:02:40 PM: I have returned from the theatre, and I loved THE PEOPLE VS MONA, a very charming, extremely funny, country-western musical set in a Tippo, Georgia, bar "The Frog Pad" and a courtroom during a murder trial. I believe my favorite song may be Mona's "Locked Up Blues" ("a fact I have to face: I'm in love with my attorney and he's never won a case"), but the whole score, by Jim Wann of PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES, is extremely clever, played by a great 3-piece band who also acts and sings, and a mighty talented cast. The show ends next Sunday, Aug. 4, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I hope it gets a transfer and/or a recording. It's quite wonderful and deserves a long run.

But I did love the movie, and it had me - like DR JMK - laughing out loud loud and often. And as most of the reviews have pointed out, it's a movie even the very, very casual fan/watcher of the "The Simpsons" (on TV) can enjoy.

From Vancouver to San Diego via Alaska-NICE CRUISE!

Astoria is at the very top of Oregon. MBarnum & George, how far is that from you?

According to mapquest.com, from Tumwater, WA to Astoria, OR:

Total Est. Time: 2 hours, 11 minutes Total Est. Distance: 117.98 miles

That's totally do-able! :D

Post by: Tomovoz on July 28, 2007, 10:55:27 PM: I've listened to so little "new" music since about 1990. I now wait for others to introduce me to the talent that gets buried beneath the Idol pop style that fills the airwaves.

Post by: Jason on July 28, 2007, 11:06:32 PM: Ben Folds Five is great. Truly.

I, too, am back from seeing the late showing of "The Simpsons Movie" with DR Jose. What he said...

DR MBarnum: Thank you for the loverly package! Never have I been more grateful to speak Spanish - I might have strained something if I misunderstood Alejandro! ;)

Alas, the Seattle stopped was changed to Astoria, OR. I think that's near DR MBarnum, but I'm not sure how close that is to you. If you click HERE (http://www.celebritycruises.com/search/vacationItinerary.do;jsessionid=0000DW6mayjn0-AoyxJuoS_xIgM:1051tg34t?packageCode=SM14A001&backPageName=Itinerary+Search+Results), you'll see the itinerary.

What am I, chopped liver? (Or, possibly, chopped tofu?). Astoria is a beautiful city where the Columbia River meets the Pacific.

Post by: bk on July 28, 2007, 11:16:53 PM: While one hears raves and not-so-raves for most movies that have opened recently, I've not heard one negative thing about The Simpsons movie. I don't think anyone thought it was going to do anything, and I think when the BO numbers are released it will surprise everyone.
Title: Re:BRYLCREEM
Post by: bk on July 28, 2007, 11:17:27 PM: So it is written, so it shall be done - page ten.

JMK - thanks for the list - which of those is specifically orchestrated in the Ogerman/Sebesky style? I'll start with those.

Get the self titled Dori Caymmi on Elektra that Sergio Mendes produced. Not hugely orchestral, but reminiscent of Urubu. Also get the Qwest (Quincy Jones' old label) release of Ivan Lins, Awa Yio. You will probably like the CTI release of Milton Nascimento called Courage, with orchestrations by Deodato very much in the Sebesky vain, and, finally, get Marcos Valle's sweet, Jobim-esque Samba '68 on Verve, again with Deodato arrangements.

Post by: George on July 28, 2007, 11:31:51 PM: I'm back (actually, I have been for a while) from seeing both "Hairspray" and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." Well, let me say that I thought that both movies were very good! I didn't even mind John Travolta as much as I thought I would (I did say that I'd go into it with an open mind ::)). Anyway, "Hairspray" is just a great feel-good movie. And "Harry Potter" felt like it flowed quite well. I'm sure that I'll see both movies again. :)
