As for the Topic of the Day...
Well, to quote a quote used in a show I recently saw: "Val Kilmer Is Moses." The Ten Commandments is certainly one of the worst pieces of a long form music video and fashion show masquerading as a "musical".
To include the filmed Stage shows:
Val Kilmer Is Moses
Heathcliff (which is even worse)
Jekyl & Hyde with David Hasseloff
I actually left the horridly written musical a guy wrote for his town's centennial... It grated on my nerves
OUCH!!
Not a fan of the hoff!

J & H was indeed totally laughable.
My favourite laughter piece was the "Murder Murder" scene.
When I did get to see the show staged (and well), it still is a load of... as was (and is) the Pimpernel.
Big Ballad after Big emotional Ballad after another Big
Ballad. None of the songs does much to advance the story line, nor to add character or emotional depth
Francois!!!
How are you monsieur?
Follies with a bit of a dark edge?
Forgot: "Return To the Forbidden Planet" (or whatever it was called!)
Protocologist - that's going to be my profession in my next life. It seems like it should be quite lucrative.

Every time I go to DR td's MySpace page, I end up singing that song to myself for the rest of the day.
Which isn't a bad thing! :)
My sympathies to all DRs who have to be at work today. :(
Hi, DR Danise - nice to see you here this morning!
We must have some photos of all your handiwork.
I bought a new computer desk that I will have to assemble (Joy)
I'm just short :D
Shall we duet it, DR coleslaw?
I bought a new computer desk that I will have to assemble (Joy) before I will be back on line.
I have that short problem as well. That's part of the computer cart problem. When I adjust my chair so it's high enough to be comfortable to type, my feet dangle with no place to put them.
When I put the chair down so I can touch the ground, I have to hunch over the keyboard--and there's no place to put my feet because the cart is right there in front of me.
I think that would be a blast!
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I've already folded laundry!
-And that is not a euphemism.
Today I will venture into the land of DELIVERENCE when I drive 20 miles east to the Aumsville Corn Festival :o
Would that be before or after one of us teaches the other how to be very, very popUlar?
I bet someone on this site can turn it into one for you ...
I saw Follies at the Fifth Avenue Theater in Seattle. The cast included Walter Charles, Constance Towers, Maxine Andrews, Edie Adams and the fabulous Judy Kaye!
It also had Brian D'Arcy James as Young Buddy (I think).
Well, I think you'd have to do the teaching...from your MySpace page, it looks like you put the U in popUlar!!
I have that short problem as well. That's part of the computer cart problem.

Well, I'm gonna get ready to head out. As for where I'll be heading out to is still a mystery.
Good Morning!

PERFECT CRIME - I can't believe that Catherine Russell is still in that show. Can't she get another job? Is she a silent partner?
And the word of the day is: CANDENT!Leonard's musical CANDENT had a less than spectacular opening night - the power went out, and the players had to act by candle light.
...Ah, but did he say he met you in a theatrical context? You may have provided him with some very good memories indeed!!! :o ;D
Well I was surpised when the piano player was introduced as LANNY MYERS. Mr. Myers has worked with BK on over a dozwn albums including...Got to chat with him a bit after the show. He insisted that we met in LA and I am quite sure that we never met.
A very nice gentlemen.
To include the filmed Stage shows:I never understood the appeal of that cartoon cat.

Heathcliff (which is even worse)
Follies with a bit of a dark edge?No, just bad lighting.
No one else is here at 7:40am so I'm bowl washing.I've found that bowl washing goes much easier when I simply put the bowl down on the floor. I pick it up again five minutes later, and it looks sparkling clean!
Later, Gaters.

Any other DRs feeling a little overwhelmed? There's too much out there; you just have to resign yourself to the idea that you can't do it all. Too many places to visit, foods to try, books to read, movies & television shows to watch, shows to see, CDs to listen to, people to get to know. Amongst other things.
In a way, this site is nice because I get to experience a little bit of some of the things I'm missing, and I can follow up on others that I think might be worthwhile.
So, thanks to everyone for everything they bring to the table here - including themselves!
Guess I don't have to go to the Apple Store - this thing just takes two AA's, so I'll pick them up this afternoon....
When I do get everything done it will be so much nicer. Instead of this old computer cart, I will have a nice desk that I can sit at and be comfortable.
I've hated how I have to hunch over the keyboard to type. I bought a special keyboard platform like I have at work that I can pull out and adjust to whatever height I need it be.
I'll be in high cotton when it's all done. :)

RENT - One man's opinion (and I saw the entire original cast).
PERFECT CRIME - I can't believe that Catherine Russell is still in that show. Can't she get another job? Is she a silent partner?
JEKYLL & HYDE - I really wanted to like this show, since so many of my friends loved it. But "Murder, Murder" sealed the deal.
I am sure I can think of more.

Dakota, thanks for the Michael T. Weiss clip. :D I liked his beard.
From an 2001 Playbill article which I think answers your question
A Perfect Crime's star and general manager Catherine Russell, who has spent half of her life since 21 in the show. Crime's mainstay from the April 18, 1987 opening onward, Russell has missed only four performances in 15 years
PS She also tears the tickets.
The River was worse, I felt, than my previous least favorite, The 1940s Radio Hour. Today, I’d probably find merit in it. But in those days, I was appalled by the idea that people thought they could build a musical out of pre-existing hit songs from an earlier decade. All narrative theatre is about story-telling. When you exclude songwriters from the process, your story-telling is bound to suffer. Looking at other DRs worst-ever choices, I see many where the songwriters were uninvolved or six feet under.
YW!!
Dakota, thanks for the Michael T. Weiss clip. :D I liked his beard.
Full moon comin' Monday, but I didn't even have to look it up to know - things are weird here at the library (and on the phone) today.
I didn't know he had a "girlfriend" ;D
speaking of cds to listen to, the 20th Anniversary Edition of Jennifer Warnes' Famous Blue Raincoat - the songs of Leonard Cohen was released this week and is as stunning as ever.
Yes, I believe he was in that production. Strangely, he doesn't mention that production anywhere in his bio.

I'm all unpacked. I'm playing my Bossa Nova playlist on iTunes - it's amazing how ineffectual the Powerbook internal speakers are.
BK- What is the name of The Henry Mancini Bossa Nova CD??
And here I am, posting from the new digs, which are, in a word, FABOO! A studio that feels like a studio - everything new and shiny with a GREAT river view from the 32nd floor. The guy who's subletting is a terrific guy, a producer. I'm near the jogging path at the West Side Highway, so I may partake of that tomorrow morning. There's a real bed and a nice, big bathroom, a small but clean and nice kitchen, closet space, a big desk for my computer, a plasma TV and at least I shall be very comfortable for the next five weeks. 24 hour doorman, too.
Will we never get to page seven?
Yes, according to VARIETY, MAD MEN does draw a larger audience than REMEMBER WENN did in its heyday.
I'm sure that is only due to lack of advertising for WENN.
DR Tomovoz - I HAVE FROGS!!!! :D
Thank You!
WHAT a difference from the last place! The last place was, of course, much cheaper, but what a dump it was - ugly, uncomfortable and smelly.
People are watching, lurking, reading.
Excellent. 2 families arrived I hope. I wasn't sure if they would get thru customs!
This made my think of something I ran across today while purging files from the filing cabinet. (It was filed under cooking!) A parody song one of the puppeteers wrote for a show Greg worked on. As Jason can probably attest, puppeteers are a sick lot!
BOILING CATS AND DOGS (to the tune of "If I Only Had A Brain")
Does anyone know of a vocal recording of the song Brazil?

Well, since DR td has already once publically posted the link to his page, I don't imagine he'll mind if I re-post: here (http://www.myspace.com/minx_the_dog).
I also saw the premiere of A DOLL'S LIFE, at the Ahmanson, the story of Nora after she closed the door in Ibsen's A DOLL'S HOUSE. I remember it as being pretty inervating.
The dog is beautiful, but the more I see the photo of that guy the less I like him. Sorry. I tried not to comment but he just keeps popping back up. ;D
Yes...I noticed that on your MySpace page last night. ;) I'll admit that I've seen some of his...work. :D

Greetings from Amazon.com.
We thought you'd like to know that we shipped your items, and that this
completes your order.
You saved an additional $7.00 with Amazon.com's Pre-Order Price Guarantee!
The price of the item(s) decreased after you ordered them, and we gave you
the lowest price.
Hickory Smoked Cherry Limeade
Juice of 2 dozen limes
1 1/2 cups simple syrup (more or less to taste)
2 cups water (more or less to taste)
Stir these together in a large pitcher with 2-3 handfuls of smoked cherries.
Hickory Smoked Cherry & Bourbon Lemonade
2 quarts lemonade (fresh or from concentrate)
1 cup triple sec or orange curacao
2-3 cups bourbon (to taste)
1 cup smoked cherries
Pour over ice. For a lighter drink, top with seltzer.
So how do you happen to come upon smoked cherries? Prolly not in your local 7-11. Seeing as I was spending 8-ish hours smoking brisket, I figured I might as well put the top racks to use. Took a couple of foil baking pans, and laid in a layer of fresh cherries in each. Two hours in the low, steady lump charcoal heat, suffused with the heady smoke of beer-soaked hickory chips left the cherries with unbelievably rich, mellow, sweet-smoked flavor. Seeing our guests repeatedly sidling over to the bowl with the extras, and plucking them from their cocktails to savor on their own makes me think I've stumbled upon something pretty distinctive. I've a notion there will be a goodly bit more experimentation as long as they're in season.
Oh - and I also tossed in a foil pan of kosher salt for about 6 hours. That smoked salt will add some delicious wood-char undertones to my next batch of . But that's a whooole other post.

Ginny would you drive & spend the night? I could fly into Detroit, spend time with my friends in Bloomfield Hills & get someone to take me to Ann Arbor to hook up with you and Larry. I could drive home with you & have my good friend in Georgetown drive down & take me back to her house. From there I would fly home from out of Lexington.
Sounds like fun to me :)
Today was the last day that the Palmer Candy Company's Old Candy Store was open. So of course I HAD to go and buy several pounds of candy....the funny thing is I never go there and their new candy shop will be opening soon...but it was the last day so I had to do my part

Back when AMC was kind of like TCM, I wrote a long letter to Bob Dorian (remember him?) after they aired Toast of New York and Come and Get It. I listed all of Frances Farmer's films and who held the rights, etc., and urged him/them to air more of her work. I got a back a very nicely typed auto-reply informing me that as soon as more of his films became available, Francis Farmer was sure to be seen on AMC. I think that's when the lustre lost a little for me. ;D

And now, a scene from my bizarre life on the Broad Way:JASON, a svelte, lithe, handsome devil of a merchandise manager, stands outside the Golden Theatre, wearing his show shirt, waiting for the Saturday evening performance of AVENUE Q to come to an end. Broadway legend MARIAN SELDES enters.
SELDES
What are you doing here?
JASON
I'm selling merchandise for this show! What are you doing here??
SELDES
(Dreamily, and putting a hand on JASON'S left shoulder)
Oh! Hasn't this show let out already? I really wouldn't know...I've never seen it. What time does this show let out?
JASON
(Confused and a little afraid)
10:10. The show lets out at 10:10.
SELDES
I've just come from the closing performance of THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING. Can you imagine? I saw the opening and the closing nights... It was wonderful. Did you see it?
JASON
(Cheerily, as to avoid demonstrating fear)
No, I'm afraid I couldn't - I'm always here at this show! I didn't get to see your show, either, I'm afraid...
SELDES
(Holding JASON'S face in her hands)
I'll do it for you now.
SHE walks away.
End Scene.
Is DRCASON going to play the Seldes role in the movie version of DR JASON's life?
I love Marian Seldes! She's such a wonderful lady, gracious and grand and wacko at the same time! Truly an amazing character. Did I tell you about her matinee days during the run of DEATHTRAP?

And now, a scene from my bizarre life on the Broad Way:JASON, a svelte, lithe, handsome devil of a merchandise manager, stands outside the Golden Theatre, wearing his show shirt, waiting for the Saturday evening performance of AVENUE Q to come to an end. Broadway legend MARIAN SELDES enters.
SELDES
What are you doing here?
JASON
I'm selling merchandise for this show! What are you doing here??
SELDES
(Dreamily, and putting a hand on JASON'S left shoulder)
Oh! Hasn't this show let out already? I really wouldn't know...I've never seen it. What time does this show let out?
JASON
(Confused and a little afraid)
10:10. The show lets out at 10:10.
SELDES
I've just come from the closing performance of THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING. Can you imagine? I saw the opening and the closing nights... It was wonderful. Did you see it?
JASON
(Cheerily, as to avoid demonstrating fear)
No, I'm afraid I couldn't - I'm always here at this show! I didn't get to see your show, either, I'm afraid...
SELDES
(Holding JASON'S face in her hands)
I'll do it for you now.
SHE walks away.
End Scene.
