And the word of the day is: ANASTROPHE!
I can't find any online photos of the young Lyle Wagoner.(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/minx_the_dog/2162582.jpg)
DR elmore3003 - surely there are provisions for filing for an extension in situations like this?
Why thank you, DR td! Perhaps it would have helped if I had spelled his name correctly! :)
What other wishes can you grant? ;)
Vibes for DR ELMORE
I have a feeling some of my..."favorites" will be attending today's call.
tomorrow is our annual Staff Day. That means that the entire system is closed
But...
What will the homeless and indigent do?
That's a music cue if I ever heard one.
It sounds like a lead-in to "Hard Hearted Hannah"!

Vibes to Larry.
DR Elmore - here's a virtual {{{{{HUG}}}}} to hold you over until I can deliver one in person. There's comfort food
And one for Dollar
I know I'm a day late for "Ask bk" day, but I was just wondering if Mrs. Goldsmith ever acknowledged your letter about the botched tribute?
Even anyone isn't up.

Up the Down Staircase is probably my favorite school movie because of many of the things that MR K wrote about in the notes. Loved the book, and Sandy Dennis was so wonderful in the part.
DR Singdaw, we are gonna need to expand your movie watching horizens!
Turnabout is fair play, too...yes, Singdaw?

I think the gray cat is giving us the famous Jack Benny look.
I quite agree. How are you situated for vests, straps and other leather accoutrements?
Nice to see you out and about, DR Miss Karen! :)

Just packaged up a nice order for Dress Circle, which included CDs from two non-award-winning NYMF shows, The Brain From Planet X and The Last Starfighter.
And the word of the day is: ANASTROPHE!The monster in the closet the ORPHANS ATE. (Did one burp, or more?)
Everyone must be reading Murder At Hollywood High, because they're sure not around these here parts.I was at work.
Has anyone successfully used DD1109 at Deep Discount?
I have been manically getting songs recorded for "Cinderella." The director has had some excellent ideas (i.e., we're splitting the Gavotte into three disparate styles--Bossa Nova, Mambo and Swing), but, oy, does it sure take a lot of time to first sequence, then record, then edit WAV files. I must say I have become an extremely facile WAV editor--I can do edits that are virtually impossible to hear, if I do say so myself. :)

The sound you hear is Richard Rodgers spinning in his grave.
DR Ben - thank you for the Celebration info. I'll try to find a copy of the CD.
Good morning, all. As the Monday trip nears, I'm getting more fraught about how the hell I'm paying the $30,000 taxes next week: the sale of the property isn't moving, we can't sell my dad's motor home, the Macbeths are showing signs of renegging on their promise to repay my dad's loan. Randy and JoAnn are also concerned about all of this, and I keep dumping requests for help on them since the Macbeths have done crap to help with any of this. Randy and Jo, with their we-have-to-knuckle-down-and-get-it-done attitude have my undying affection but I can't keep puttng my neuroses and pressure on them. I'm also looking forward to seeing the Macbeths about as much as I look forward to a root canal. There's a gnawing belief that they're being difficult because they're so looking forward to see me fall on my sword to prove I should have turned the executorship over to them, I mean him. God, I hate that Macbeth bitch my sister-in-law!I definitely feel for you, and you have my best wishes. You're a strong man with a strong determination. Karma is on your side.
A long day today: Toyland first, then the NYPL. I may stop at a local bank and pull a robbery as well if there's time.
DR Ginny - unless your library has it [or can borrow it], that may prove to be very difficult.
We watched the American Masters program on Carol Burnett last night. She is such a delight. WHY oh why can't they release a box set of her complete television series? Or the two incarnations [one in b&w, one in color] of her Once Upon a Mattress? Or her several appearances jointly with Julie Andrews? The clips are so tantalizing... :-\
Looking around, though, I found an outfit (http://arkivmusic.com) that claims to be authorized to produce CD-R reissues of out-of-print CDs, including Celebration. (http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=171626) Anybody familiar with these folks? That price is about 1/5th the price that I've seen for an original CD elsewhere...
Oh, yeah? Edit this!(http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/gallery/2002/05/09/train.jpg)
;)
Yes. And I think he's going to need a lot of discipline. 8)
I ordered the Pearl Bailey Hello, Dolly! and also How Now, Dow Jones from them fairly recently; they are legit and provided good service.
DR MBarnum, half the time I'm thinking you're making these movies up.
Who could possibly have greenlighted some of them? ;)

Can y'all tell that I'm catching up on publishers' catalogs and review journals? Here's another book of interest:
Riverside Park: The Splendid Sliver, by Edward Grimm; photos by E. Peter Schroeder - an illustrated tribute to Frederick Law Olmsted's "other" city sanctuary
This might be a bit of looking the gift horse in the mouth, but how was the sound quality of the recordings?
Methinks DR Singdaw doesn't go to the movies much.
Thanks for posting this, Ginny! My filmmaking partner lives a block from the park so I've spent a lot of time there. This will be a good holiday gift for him!

Spoo.
Sorry, DR JRand57. I guess I was distracted by Lyle Waggoner's nether regions. :)
OK, a mini-rant. Does this make any sense?
The color laser printer, which serves about 50 people in the immediate vicinity, has just run out of toner. Purchasing will not allow us to keep a spare, or to order a cartridge until the current one runs out. So now we will all be without the use of this printer until Monday or Tuesday next week, when a cartridge can be obtained through the normal procurement chanels.
I mean, honestly! :P
I quite agree. How are you situated for vests, straps and other leather accoutrements?Have suitcase, will travel.
DR MBarnum, a still from the film called MEET THE SPARTANS and due out in 2008. This movie has "Mikey Barnum" written all over it, and there should be lots of actors who will be the same age as you around 30 years from now when you're no longer cruising the retirement homes but living in one.
I am hoping against hope that some day this shall be released on DVD. I've never seen it, although I have the 3-disc CD soundtrack.
Oh, so you traveled to the link which provided his PLAYGIRL poses?
I'm not sure it's "cheesy" enough.
C'mon over, ColeSlaw, and I will fire up the LaserDisc Player. . .
Well, in my car they sounded just fine, but I'm no audiophile! I didn't detect any audible difference between these and regular CD issues.
Happily, I have all those oop CDs.Y'know, considering the huge swath of maroon on my CD shelves where all the Varese Sarabande albums are, you could at least be considerate enough to not brag in my presense... :)
I think the beefcake quotient will satisfy all of his Rape of the Sabine fantasies.
Good news for my iPod; bad news for my bank account... I'm seeing a bunch of things in their catalog that I'm liable to start picking up. Y'know, considering the huge swath of maroon on my CD shelves where all the Varese Sarabande albums are, you could at least be considerate enough to not brag in my presense... :)
:-X
DR td, are you vying for the title The Enabler II? :D
I may be Number II, but I try harder.
Are those BK's albums on the Varese label? Or do you have some soundtracks in there, too?

Another fave is the British mini-series TO SERVE THEM ALL MY DAYS.
I must be off now to the recycling center.
if so maybe u can get them to compromise & place the order then.

If you want the Garland TV movie soundtrack, Singdaw, it's 15 bucks - sealed and new and quite rare.
Very sensible, DR Jane!
You smart! Me love you long time!! :)
you always make me smile
And one for my dad. I miss him very much.
kerry, how are you doing?
He was preparing to put on a production of the Craig Carnelia review, Pictures in the Hall, at his place, but now he can't...
He's knocked them all down!
Ah! So you're the one that "blew the whistle" on Pastor Creflo Dollar? ;)
If Creflo is out of business, the post house where I'm working would soon be out of business. They dupe and close caption all his shows.
If anyone knows his crap, it's DR Ron Pulliam! :D

Somewhere that's green?
Well, I don't know if I can stand any more excitement today.
Do you need someone to come and fan you?
:-X
Be still, my heart!
Keep talking that way and I might be hearing from DR TCB. :P
the top prize is a million bucks, and they're looking for someone to go all the way!!
Umm, I still don't go all the way on a first date. :(
He'll march his band out
He'll beat his drum
And if he's fanned out
(is that what she sings in that song?)
Did I just incriminate myself again? ::)
"Fanned out"? Yes...it's a baseball term meaning "struck out".
A package arrived addressed to me today from DR George. :-*
Thank you, George. :-*
Where is DR TCB? I hope he's fine. Have we heard from that hunk-o-man yet today?
... then as you continued walking and blocked the other one, you saw another word. And the choice of words was quite, well, interesting (for lack of a better work), and, in some of the pairings, a bit graphic.
I just found out that we won't be able to interview Jo Stafford in LA in December. Her son says she's "under the weather" (she turns 90 on monday) and promises to let us know if she feels like she's up to it. Somehow I think that day may never come, but I hope I'm wrong.
I heard tell last night that somebody looked really fit and cute at yesterday's auditions. I'm just sayin'. . .
I saw The Glorious Ones last night.
It was wonderful. It's a love letter to comedy and musicals. It opened to mixed reviews but I had a great time. It's based on a 1974 novel by Francine Prose.
The Glorious Ones (http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061493843/The_Glorious_Ones/index.aspx)
Mark Kudish is excellent and the woman who played the "Gary Coleman" role in Avenue Q i(Natalie Venetia Belcon) s his co-star.
The show is sweet and funny and presents a part of theatre history most people know nothing about. I had a lovely time.
Thanks for the report, DR Ben. I'm looking forward to the cast album.
TOD:
No one for Fame, huh?
I've never liked the opera much
Or - as always happens to me - someone on HHW mentions a movie that you just have to have...
I need to make a list of movies for DR Singdaw to purchase from DeepDiscountDVD.
DR MBarnum, I posted some weeks ago that DR Dan (the Man) told me that he was very busy at work and was taking a break for a while. :(
Mega watt vibes to Jo Stafford! I want Edisaurus to interview her!!!
DR TCB's last post was actually on Nov 5th. :-\
DR Jane - please protect your wrist and your foot!
I am right handed.
Must be the sequel to MEET THE FOCKERS.Everyone who wants to see Barbra Streisand dressed in one of those costumes (the brown leather ones, not the white one), raise your hand!
Here's a new book to make you say, "Awwww."Ah, yes, the Golden Books. Nice and thin, and colorful, with large print so they were easy to read, and thick cardboard covers so they were easy to teathe on.

;D
Are the posters signed by the composers of the evening as well?
Dakota Celt doesn't want a signed poster - which inlcudes Mr. and Mrs. Ashford AND Kevin Spirtas?
Just the twenty-five cast members.
That's good to know. They have some things that might be useful to a CD Show collecting nerd like myself!

*Oh, but I did check out a small gallery on the second floor that featured three works that use the printed word - or the projected word - as Art. Quite interesting, and very thought provoking. The one installation that is simply made of two slide projectors projectors different but related/words juxtaposed over one another was quite effective. If you walked in front of one of the projectors - thus blocking the other one - you saw one word, then as you continued walking and blocked the other one, you saw another word. And the choice of words was quite, well, interesting (for lack of a better work), and, in some of the pairings, a bit graphic.

Dakota Celt is also the name of a rather (ahem) gifted male porn star (not that i would know of such things). Mere coindence? :o
I'm tired, think I'll go read a book.
Der B just saw something on the telly and had to call me over to watch it as he replayed it.
It was a promo for the Christmas Special for The Closer. It very much looked like Amy's work, and was very good.
"I don't like being ordered to be festive!" Great line!
DR JoseSPiano - I am just curious: Do you prefer that someone auditioning give you an approximate tempo when they're handing you their music, or you prefer to just use your judgement and then adjust, if necessary, once they start singing?
More words to drive Elmore crazy by department: just finished the arrangement of "In My Own Little Corner," which Larry will be happy to hear follows the original orchestration exactly, at least to measure 75 where it breaks into unbridled swing until measure 114. I did a jazz English Horn solo over the swing part that mimics the flute line, sort of. And when the strings come back in at 114 it's luscious enough to make Richard Rodgers drop his martini and stop yelling at Mary. ;)
By the way, DR JMK, you are aware that Ted Chapin, and others, of Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization reads this site every once and a while? I think he's an occasional lurker.

FATE OF UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA 'FIGHTING SIOUX' LOGO THREATENS HOCKEY ARENA
(http://www.foxnews.com/photoessay/photoessay_2592_images/1105071630_M_fighting_sioux_logo.jpg)
A $104 million dollar hockey arena may be forced to remove hundreds of images of "The Fighting Sioux," the logo and nickname of the University of North Dakota for more than 70 years, if officials can't reach an agreement with tribal councils.
The university, according to a settlement last month of a lawsuit against the National Collegiate Athletic Association, has three years to negotiate an agreement with two North Dakota Sioux tribes — Spirit Lake and Standing Rock — to receive approval for the continued use of the "Sioux" name and logo.
If an agreement is not reached by 2011, the university will be forced to find a new name and logo.The hockey arena has hundreds of "Fighting Sioux" logos laid into its granite flooring, imprinted on seating and etched on doors and other areas. If an agreement cannot be reached, they would all have to be replaced.

The organization (NCAA) said it "believes that the time has come to retire Native American imagery in college sports."
