As promised, anyone who'd like to PRE preorder Illya Darling - here it is. The official announcement will be next Monday, which is when it will go live on the site. I suspect this will move pretty fast. You know the routine - 19.98 plus 3.75 shipping (or 6.50 overseas) payable via paypal.com directly to kritzerland at adelphia dot net.
HELLO, ILLYA!
Kritzerland is proud to present the first ever CD release of the Original Cast Recording of Illya Darling, with a score by Manos Hadjidakis and Joe Darion.
Illya Darling opened on Broadway at the Mark Hellinger Theater on April 11, 1967. It was based on the wildly popular Greek film Never On Sunday, which made an International star of Melina Mercouri. The film was written and directed by American Jules Dassin, who also played the male lead. Illya Darling would have many of the same players, including Miss Mercouri, writer/director Dassin, the film’s costume designer, Theoni V. Aldredge, and film cast members Titos Vandis and Despo. The film’s composer, the Oscar-winning Manos Hadjidakis (Oscar for Best Song – Never On Sunday), would write the score, with lyrics by Man Of La Mancha’s Joe Darion.
The show had a difficult birth during its out-of-town tryouts, and it opened on Broadway to tepid reviews – but those tepid reviews also were love letters to Miss Mercouri. The show received six Tony nominations, winning none. Because of Miss Mercouri’s reviews and star power, the show ran almost a year, and then toured with Cyd Charisse. The original cast album was issued by United Artists, who had funded the show in full. That LP put the songs in a completely different order than they were in the show.
For this first-ever CD release, we have put the songs back in show order and have given the proper titles to any that were renamed for the LP. In going through the session tapes, we made the incredible discovery that two songs were recorded but not used on the LP – the show’s opening number “Po, Po, Po” and a number called “Birthday Song.” Both songs were transferred and mixed from the four-track session tapes and put where they belong in the show’s song order. Hearing the show with those two numbers and everything in show order is something of a revelation.
The colorful cast includes an incandescent Melina Mercouri, Orson Bean, Titos Vandis, Nikos Kourkoulos, Rudy Bond, Hal Linden, and Joe E. Marks. The CD has been mastered from the original album master tapes (and for the two added songs, from the original four-track session tapes).
The CD is a Limited Edition of 1000 copies only.
The price is $19.98 plus shipping.
CDs will ship the second week of May – however, as those who’ve ordered directly from Kritzerland know, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to three weeks ahead of the street date.

DR JRAND
Posed this question yesterday
And on 60 Minutes, there was an "inspiring" story about a schizophrenic musician who spends a lot of time in a concert hall in Washington DC (I think) and his struggle with his mental illness. OH AND GUESS WHAT? Paramount is releasing a movie about HIS LIFE starring Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey, Jr..... And they wonder why we have lost respect for television "journalism." How can 60 Minutes let itself be used as a shill for Paramount
Simple answer: Paramount owns CBS as Universal owns NBC and Disney owns ABC and 20th Century-Fox owns Fox
-
TOD
New Yorkers would know the answer to this
In the late 70's and somewhere into the 80's there was a cable channel that should a program on Friday night (late) and young men and women would sit around naked and people would call the show and speak to them. I think you had to pay for that privilege. I think the hostess was a big busted blond lady who the show was name after.
It was fascinating to watch as in Montreal we didn't have any programs like that
-
I will place my order on Friday for Illya Darling
-
It is way too early to be up. That is all.
-
Anya has arrived.
-
Robin Byrd. I won't post the link since we do have some respectability left, don't we ;)
-
Good Morning
I stopped by here a couple of times yesterday but my computer was being stupid and kept locking up everytime I tried to post
-
Vixdad did soemthing or another and now it seems to be working fine again
-
I made it through a whole week of work (well part time days, I only stayed until 2:30) so Saturday we (drum roll please) took down the Christmas tree.
Yes - the tree has been up all this time - we decided to keep itup until I was better and now I am better!
I have been eating three meals a day - albeit toddler sized portions - but I have not used the cans for 4 days now!!
-
Good morning, all! I've been up and about since 6:30. This morning I've got about 2 hours of work before I step out to see my barber and pay a visit to Jo Loesser about THE MOST HAPPY FELLA. After lunch with her, I'm back here to continue Mr Raines' concert work.
I just ordered ILYA DARLING, so I'm happy as a clam this morning.
TOD:
Robin Byrd; I stopped watching her show because it got to the point where it was nothing but reruns. Nothing worse than stale porn, and I'm not talking 2 or 3 reruns I'm talking 20 to 30.
There used to be this peculiar "New York" show with a drag queen host that was often informative and always funny in the late 1980s; can't recall the name but I was sorry to see it vanish.
-
Taking down the tree took all day Saturday - by time we were done (around 6 PM) I was exhausted and went to sleep for several hours
-
Sunday we went to church and then to the Vixter's basketball game - her team made the playoffs - but they lost yesterday so the season is now over.
-
Elmore - did you get your cookies?
-
I have not finished catching up - I did read yesterday's posts so I see that Danise is reunited with Sheena butI am not sure where she is lving - did she have any success in getting her house finished?
I will go back and see what I can find out from posts past!
-
And welcome to Sweet Irma! I am so glad to have you here!!! (where you belong!!)
-
I'm so glad you are feeling better, Vixmom.
-
I have not used the can for 4 days now!!
Have you tried Metamucil?? ;)
Seriously, though, DR vixmom....thrilled for you and your progress!! I hope you will continue to take it easy as much as you can and not try to push yourself too much, tempting as it may seem... :)
-
so glad to have you here!!! (where you belong!!)
May Dolly never go away again!
-
Deb we are thrilled at your good news!!!
-
So Laura, did someone ask that question in relation to you and Sandra?
-
On Friday, March 27th I'm on a plane outta' here!!!
-
Meeting today, meeting Thursday. I need a haircut. I have to go to the post office to mail a package to Wales but I can't do that until Wednesday because I need to buy Shrek tomorrow. I hope I don't have to run all over to the few remaining CD/music stores to find it.
-
One of Anthony's Wisconsin friends is having a dinner "in our honor" when I am there. I guess my husband has impressed the locals.
-
I will probably see the show twice. It will be running three times during my stay but I need to do computer maintenance on the laptop. As much as I would like to see it three times I may skip one performance and do downloads and virus scans, etc.
Ah, the life of a geek.
-
That's it for now. California Endowment is calling me.
-
So Laura, did someone ask that question in relation to you and Sandra?
Ouch.

Monday morning greetings! I will be E & T until later this afternoon, because both my mom and my aunt need attention. Mom and I will do her errands this morning and my aunt has her Rx recheck with the eye doctor this afternoon. Off to little-old-lady land!
-
So Laura, did someone ask that question in relation to you and Sandra?
Ouch.
When the Vixter was in 2nd grade I went to meet the teacher night and the teacher greeted me with "Oh you must be Vicky's grandmother!"
That was when I decided to keep dying my hair.
-
Well I better get dressed if I am to get to work on time!
LATERS!!

I honestly don't remember which made-for-cable series was the first that I saw.
I do remember David Rosengarten's Taste, which pre-dated Alton Brown's Good Eats.
(Tell me that wasn't predictable. ::))
-
I'm up this early because the doggies wanted their breakfast.
Seriously. I stirred a little, and they started barking at me.
A dog without a doggie buiscuit breakfast is a terrible thing.
And noisy.
-
David Rosengarten
Loved him... Whatever happened to him??
-
Rosengarten was dropped by FoodTV, about when Scripps took over I think. He wrote some of the restaurant reviews for Gourmet for a while, has written a few books, and I think has an on-line subscription foodie newsletter to which I don't subscribe.
So, of course, there's a link (http://www.davidrosengarten.com/content.asp?type=site&id=12).

TOD:
By the time we got cable in our neighborhood in about 1978/79, the fare wasn't as daring as other DRs have reported. Garden State Cable never had any kind of public access programming like other cable outlets had, so there wasn't much in the way of the craziness that NYC had during the 70's.
I'm not recalling a lot of the early stuff, at the mo'. I remember a fun show on HBO hosted by Dick Cavett that looked back at the early decades of the 20th century. NOT NECESSARILY THE NEWS was generally a pretty funny show ( I would love to see this on DVD.) I was also a fan of FRAGGLE ROCK for the first two seasons or so.

For those who watch THE AMAZING RACE, who are your favorite teams? Who do you think is the
best team?
Maybe leave spoiler space in case a few people did not watch last night's show yet.
-
Here are my answers to my TAR questions above:
THE AMAZING RACE SPOILERS DISCUSSION
*
*
*
dfuio iuo iuo whow shoe who woo boo hoo sosos si loser winner bo be who w wi

I think the best team is pretty clear. There is really only one team who i find strong
enough for me to think they really deserve to win. And that is tammy and victor.
As for who my favorite teams are, well for some reason i have loved those red
heads since the beginning. They are not as strong competitively as my usual
favorites. But i just find them to be hard working, really sweet and generous. And
somehow they are still in it. I also do like tammy and victor. Although some times
the brother can be slightly irritating. It was an interesting show last night with
the teams at the bottom only being a minute apart. Although those are my 2 least
favorite teams. So i really did not care either way. I'm not crazy about the black
sisters (don't remember their names). But it's not like they've done anything for me
to really hate them. They are fine. Just really boring. And not that strong. I'm also
not as fond of the dead kid/mom anymore. At times i find them sweet and
endearing (like when he cried at the poverty). But i also have found him sort of
mean-spirited at times. And i still like them alright. But they are not my favorites.

It was chilly this morning, but it promises to get to 70 today, so it should be a nice day. I'll be having lunch out, so that should be a pleasant experience.

I don't watch TAR, but der B does.
I'm kinda sorta partial to Rev. Mel and his son, but just because I've met the Rev.
Which means I kinda sorta know what DR Jose was feeling last season. Familiarity breeds pom-poms. Kinda. Sorta.
-
If you'll note in the chart above, THE BIG BANG THEORY, TWO AND A HALF MEN, and HOUSE are not listed. They're in reruns tonight.
-
I can't remember what my first made-for-cable show was. Perhaps BROTHERS on Showtime.
My favorites through the years: SEX AND THE CITY, THE SOPRANOS, SIX FEET UNDER, DEADWOOD, TRUE BLOOD all on HBO.
QUEER AS FOLK, and DEXTER on Showtime.
THE SHIELD, RESCUE ME, DAMAGES on FX.
THE CLOSER, LEVERAGE on TNT
MONK, PSYCH, BURN NOTICE on USA.
-
BK, somewhere on the tail-end of one of my videotapes, I think one where I had taped a bunch of SCTV, I have the Manilow spoof and a coupe of the others that appeared on that show. Julieanne and I discovered it late one night, watching whatever came after the last SCTV episode. It is hilarious!
Whatever happened to Pia Zadora?
-
I saw the UPS truck pull up on the street in front of my house, but I didn't check to see if he brought anything to me or if he was going to my neighbor's house (who gets almosty daily UPS shipments for his in-home business).
Right now, I have nothing to review, but this might change today. If not, I have the day off and I do have two remaining items on the DVR: THE OFFICE and 30 ROCK from last Thursday.
I will want to finish '21' that I started last night.
And one of these days I'm going to get to THE YELLOW ROLLS-ROYCE. It's so funny. You wait years and years to get a release of a favorite film, and then when it comes, it sits in the shrink wrap for weeks and weeks (sometimes years and years).
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm sipping a cup of Vanilla Chai. Hmmm....

I have some things I want to take care of around the house, and I've finished my morning web surf surprisingly early, so I'll jump off-line now.

It was chilly this morning, but it promises to get to 70 today, so it should be a nice day. I'll be having lunch out, so that should be a pleasant experience.
Same forecast here in Charleston. I was thinking of heading to one of the beaches, but since the temps run cooler at the beaches by about 10-15 degrees, well... I also want to complete my the "main street walking tour" of downtown Charleston, so I may just head down to Meeting Street later and do just that.
-
Whatever happened to Pia Zadora?
One wonders. She recorded her last album in '95 and she sold Pickfair in aught five.
Which brings me to my college story:
My goofy friend Doug met a girl at a mixer, they hit it off, and made a date for the following week. For some reason, they didn't meet at her place, and when he drove her home--to her aunt's house where she was living--she guided him up into the Beverly Hills until he realized they were going to a big landed estate at the top.
Doug was suitably impressed when his gf remarked, "I wonder what the Rolls is doing out. We don't use it very much."
Well, it was of course some time later in the day, after he had met Aunt Mary and chatted to her for a while, that it dawned on him that he was at Pickfair, talking to Mary Pickford, and the little statue on the table he had been fiddling with was Uncle Oscar.
Doug actually became serious enough with the young lady that he went to England with her family for the summer, and they were planning a big Hollywood wedding--"it's obvious that everyone who's anyone is here. This monumental merger was the wedding of the year."
But they broke up, he eventually married a less jet-setty lady, and they lived since in Tempe AZ, where he is a professor of physics.
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
I guess MTV's "The Real World" would be the first one I remember. Although, I'm thinking there may have been a series on HBO during it's early years. ???
-
When and what was your last Eureka! (http://michaellaiskonis.typepad.com/main/2009/03/eureka.html) moment?
*I believe DR SWW may find that particular post informative and inspirational. It's written by Michael Laiskonis, the pastry chef at Le Bernadin.
**It also ties in with bk's recent series of posts which have been filled many of those moments.
-
Chef Laiskonis' other blog, Workbook (http://mlaiskonis.typepad.com/workbook/) is another good read. -Focused more on the process in the kitchen - as well as some wonderful food photograpy.

I made it through a whole week of work (well part time days, I only stayed until 2:30) so Saturday we (drum roll please) took down the Christmas tree.
Yes - the tree has been up all this time - we decided to keep itup until I was better and now I am better!
I have been eating three meals a day - albeit toddler sized portions - but I have not used the cans for 4 days now!!
:)
I have friends in Richmond who keep their Christmas tree up for as long as "tree-ly" possible. They say it makes it much easier to take off the decorations when almost all of the needles have fallen off. ;)
Another friend of mine actually "plants" his Christmas tree in a huge pot in his living room. He doesn't mulch the tree until after it has gone through its "Easter Egg Tree" phase.
-
Bruce, I didn't realize (or had forgottten) that you had done the themes for the shows in "The Ratings Game." They were very funny and eerily accurate. I think they made me laugh even harder than Marc Shaiman's faux news music from "Broadcast News."
It becoming a running joke with a bunch of us when a big story (like the OJ Simpson trial or John Kennedy Jr.'s plane crash) of how long it would take for the story to get its own theme for live team coverage and panelists and "experts."
You could put out a CD of the OJ Murder Theme (honestly there was one).
-
TOD: I like the show "Brothers" when it came on (HBO?) in the 90's, I think. Maybe earlier. I loved the show "The Boys" about a group of entertainers and "Lords" who belonged to a take-off on the Friar's Club in New York. Great actors and clever dialogue. I subscribed to Showtime long after I wanted to just for that show. It was a summer show, and I think it ended after about 13 shows.

TECHNICAL QUESTION:
Can someone tell me how to make my avatar show up a bit bigger. The original was 320 x 240 and it showed up tiny. I tried resizing the width to 110 like most of the other avatars, which gave me 110 x 83.
It still looks the same. How can I make it bigger without bugging Mr. Mark Bakalor?

What you see is what you get now. You may notice a lot of us have TINY avatars. If you use one from the list from the old board, it will be bigger....but if it's a new one....you are a little person.

And thanks to DR JOSE for:
The Soloist info
I remember seeing "The Soloist" on display in various bookstores, but never paid any attention to it. -I went through a phase where I bought almost any music-related book, and, well, I had to stop that "impulse", so...
When I was in LA last year, I attended a concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall - the LA Phil playing Hindemith and Mahler. After the concert, I did some browsing in their gift shop. "The Soloist" was prominently displayed on the counter alongside an announcement that Steve Lopez would be doing a reading and Q&A session the following week. Who? Then I started hearing some ladies at the counter talking about the book. Hmm...
When I got back to New York City, I ended up downloading the audiobook version of it - I had a free Audible.com credit. I still remember staying up late at night in order to finish "reading" the book. And there were a couple of times when I found myself missing my subway stop, as well as finding myself crying during a train ride while listening to the story, the true story.
Again... Read the book. :)
-
~~~~~~~~~~~ VIBES AND THREE SQUARE MEALS A DAY TO VIXMOM ~~~~~~~~~~~

I will think about the book, DR JOSE.....
-
DR Jose, I have place a hold on The Soloist by Steve Lopez. Thank you for the suggestion.
There is another book with the same name by Mark Salzman (Iron & Silk) which I enjoyed very much. Mark Salzman used his experiences as a child prodigy of the cello in writing this The Soloist.

So am I. Thankfully, if there is a delay, I can always use the machines at the theatre's costume shop which is downtown - so at least I could take a nice stroll during the wash and dry cycles.
-
DR JRand - ;D
-
I'm up, I'm up - the sun is out but it's REALLY cold out and REALLY super windy and I cannot run when it's this windy - hopefully it will calm down within the hour. I can do the jog anytime up to eleven and after three.

If anyone would point me to some sort of audio sharing site, I'd put up a few of the Ratings Game themes. Are those sorts of sites secure or can anyone hear anything?

A) Not worth the money.
B) Too many of the restaurants shut down during the off months (Jan thru March)

C) I'm not a twitter fan. Just like I don't like conversations where everyone interrupts each other and speaks too fast for any real intelligence to seep in. Sound bytes are not sound thinking. So there! :-*
A) Agreed.
B) Do Espuma and Porcini stay open year round? -And the story could cover various resort towns, and cover both "in season" and "off season" places to eat.
C) You could start the dialog on Twitter, and then continue it elsewhere.

OK - Enough apartment-bound dawdling for me today.
Laters...

Espuma (http://www.espumarestaurant.com/) and Porcini House have stayed open thru the off season. Jay is one of the few chefs to do so, however. I think I noted a week ago how depressing it was, to wander about town and see all the places that were closed, some permanently.

Larry - Were you talking about Sybil Bruncheon when referring to the cable talk show host?

Do you call the mind "Maria"?

:D
Honey, these days my "card" wouldn't even check out a library book!
-
To quote DR JoseSPiano: Whatever that means. :)
-
Do you call the mind "Mariah"?
She told me she prefers "Ms. Wind". And she spells it Maria, to everyone's confusion.
-
Do you call the mind "Mariah"?
A wind is a terrible thing to waste...

And she spells it Maria, to everyone's confusion.
Spooo! :P
Thanks for the gentle correction! :)

DAW - Thanks for your message!

What if "They Call The Wind Maria" had been written for the citizens of River City, Iowa?
A way out west they have a name
For rain and wind and fire.
The rain is rain, the fire is fire
And they call the wind wind.

Oh... I guess I'm still here. I decided to go ahead and make and consume some lunch here in order to curb the temptations while I'm out and about.

A guy just came up to the door, from a paving company, asking if we'd like to have our driveway sealed.
I refrained from asking him just how many seals would have to give up their lives to cover our driveway. I didn't think he'd appreciate the question.

Didn't the bus and truck play Phoenix recently, starring Donny Osmond?
-
Question:
Has anyone seen or heard of a musical called:Little House on the Prairie, the Musical?
Yes, it began at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis last year. It was a HUGE success, sold out in hours and extended. It got lukewarm reviews but it's successful enough that they have begun a National Tour. It will kick off at the Papermill Playhouse in New Jersey and move around the country. It is based on the television series and the book I believe and Melissa Gilbert is playing the Mother. Steve Blanchard is playing Michael Landon

Question:
Has anyone seen or heard of a musical called:Little House on the Prairie, the Musical?
Yep. It just premiered at The Guthrie in Minneapolis, and, apparently, got pretty good reviews. It will be touring next year. -And, yes, Melissa Gilbert is playing "Ma".
*I also played a couple of auditions for the show, some pretty nice music, imho. The composer is Rachel Portman.

It's just a tour now. I think they don't want to bring it to Broadway just yet. It could end up here but there is enough money to be made on the tour that they don't need to spend the large amounts it will take to mount it in New York.

I'm back from my various and sundry errands. I had a wonderful visit with Mrs Jo Sullivan Loesser, who is one of the best, and her colleague and my dear friend Joseph Weis, I think my new haircut looks just like the old one, and now I'm back to Mr Raines' concert charts. I picked up a new book at the big new Barnes and Noble at 46th and Fifth Avenue about Cafe society. Jo wants to read it when I finish it.
-
I made it through a whole week of work (well part time days, I only stayed until 2:30) so Saturday we (drum roll please) took down the Christmas tree.
Yes - the tree has been up all this time - we decided to keep itup until I was better and now I am better!
I have been eating three meals a day - albeit toddler sized portions - but I have not used the cans for 4 days now!!
Great news, Vixmom! Congrats!!
-
TOD:
..... NOT NECESSARILY THE NEWS was generally a pretty funny show ( I would love to see this on DVD.) I was also a fan of FRAGGLE ROCK for the first two seasons or so.
I remember watching both of these shows! I loved them. ;D They are probably the earliest cable shows that I can remember watching.
-
Haven't stopped yet this morning. On my way to hear some tapes right now, then I shall return.
-
Survived taking my mom on several errands and my aunt to the eye doctor. I am exhausted.

And, of course, the Scandal du Jour a few days ago was the revelation that LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian ended up having an affair during(?) the filming of said TV movie.
Was it real though? There's a lot of other talk about it all being a PR stunt.

Had a very enjoyable lunch. Very pleasant outside. Not breezy but warm enough not to require a jacket but not warm to be uncomfortable.
-
When I got in, there were no review discs waiting for me, but there was season two of NCIS which I may crack open and watch the first episode tonight once I've cleared the cache on the DVR.
-
I finished '21.' Eh. Not bad but not a great film certainly.
-
Next I watched today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. The boys weren't there, but they were in the previews.
-
And I completed my afternoon watching last Thursday's 30 ROCK. One of the best shows it's had lately, much of that due to Jon Hamm's marvelous turn in the last of his three-episode story arc. Sorry to see him go. Hope he makes a return trip at some point as he and Tiny Fey worked well together. And Jack (Alec Baldwin) had a fun storyline this week, too.
-
My afternoon surf is now concluded so I'm hopping off-line now and heading down for more viewing. I might try to squeeze in MICHAEL CLAYTON on Blu-ray and then an episode of NCIS from the season two set.
WBBL.

I have friends in Richmond who keep their Christmas tree up for as long as "tree-ly" possible. They say it makes it much easier to take off the decorations when almost all of the needles have fallen off. ;)
Another friend of mine actually "plants" his Christmas tree in a huge pot in his living room. He doesn't mulch the tree until after it has gone through its "Easter Egg Tree" phase.
Well our tree is artifical so we didn't have to worry about the needles falling off... I was considering keeping it around to hang Easter Eggs on after all teh ornaments were down but Vixdad whisked that tree into it's box and (with the Vixter's help) carried it out to the garage to its summer home in the garage loft
-
Whatever happened to Pia Zadora?
One wonders. She recorded her last album in '95 and she sold Pickfair in aught five.
Which brings me to my college story:
My goofy friend Doug met a girl at a mixer, they hit it off, and made a date for the following week. For some reason, they didn't meet at her place, and when he drove her home--to her aunt's house where she was living--she guided him up into the Beverly Hills until he realized they were going to a big landed estate at the top.
Doug was suitably impressed when his gf remarked, "I wonder what the Rolls is doing out. We don't use it very much."
Well, it was of course some time later in the day, after he had met Aunt Mary and chatted to her for a while, that it dawned on him that he was at Pickfair, talking to Mary Pickford, and the little statue on the table he had been fiddling with was Uncle Oscar.
Doug actually became serious enough with the young lady that he went to England with her family for the summer, and they were planning a big Hollywood wedding--"it's obvious that everyone who's anyone is here. This monumental merger was the wedding of the year."
But they broke up, he eventually married a less jet-setty lady, and they lived since in Tempe AZ, where he is a professor of physics.
I never heard this story before! Now I'm getting better we have to start "hanging out" again! I have missed you Billy!

Back from the listening to tapes session and the news is fantastic! Two years ago, another film music label wanted to do this score. They got these same nine tapes. They could only find one side of the album (this was released on LP) in stereo - there were a LOT of mono album masters, none in stereo - the only stereo marked on a box was side two of the album and that was the original three-track recording pre-album master (where some rather ugly reverb, typical for the time) was added. There was one box among the nine that was confusingly marked and that box was my hope - it was side one, but didn't have stereo marked on it - that was because someone had put a sticker over that part of the box - so, we put up that reel and voila, it was the side one three-track recording. Hoo and ray, is all I can say. I was so happy I danced a rather pathetic jig. So, not only do we get to put out my holy grail soundtrack (and no, Rio was not my all-time holy grail that's never been on CD), it will be remixed directly from the original three-track masters, and I can put a nice, clean reverb on (the recording is, naturally, completely dry and doesn't sound good without some sort of room ambience added), and it should be spectacular. Oh, boy! Oh, joy! It's on the fast track and will be announced two weeks after Illya is officially announced.

Probably a good reason to do it out in the open.

Well we know it was released in stereo and the LP had two sides.....and it has NEVER been on CD.

I am almost ready to make the switch to Blu-Ray.......
-
I will probably see the show twice. It will be running three times during my stay but I need to do computer maintenance on the laptop. As much as I would like to see it three times I may skip one performance and do downloads and virus scans, etc.
Ah, the life of a geek.
Ben, I am curious how the food is at that dinner theater. Outside of their brunch buffet, the menu doesn't sound terribly exciting.

TECHNICAL QUESTION:
Can someone tell me how to make my avatar show up a bit bigger. The original was 320 x 240 and it showed up tiny. I tried resizing the width to 110 like most of the other avatars, which gave me 110 x 83.
It still looks the same. How can I make it bigger without bugging Mr. Mark Bakalor?

I won't bother answering your question, Bill, because by now I am sure that you have read the bad news. Apparently, at HHW, size doesn't matter.

And thanks to DR JOSE for:
The Soloist info
I remember seeing "The Soloist" on display in various bookstores, but never paid any attention to it. -I went through a phase where I bought almost any music-related book, and, well, I had to stop that "impulse", so...
When I was in LA last year, I attended a concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall - the LA Phil playing Hindemith and Mahler. After the concert, I did some browsing in their gift shop. "The Soloist" was prominently displayed on the counter alongside an announcement that Steve Lopez would be doing a reading and Q&A session the following week. Who? Then I started hearing some ladies at the counter talking about the book. Hmm...
When I got back to New York City, I ended up downloading the audiobook version of it - I had a free Audible.com credit. I still remember staying up late at night in order to finish "reading" the book. And there were a couple of times when I found myself missing my subway stop, as well as finding myself crying during a train ride while listening to the story, the true story.
Again... Read the book. :)
Glad I bought it last night. I'll start reading it tonight after DWS, unfortunately that may mean i don't get my cleaning done tomorrow. But I am enjoying my days off

Last night from DR Danise:

Ben, I am curious how the food is at that dinner theater. Outside of their brunch buffet, the menu doesn't sound terribly exciting.
Anthony thinks the food is great. I've only had the steamed fish and the brunch. Even though technically if you're going to see the show you have to eat in the restaurant they bend the rules for the actors so I haven't had a full meal in the restaurant. They feed the actors between shows so Anthony has had many meals. I had the fish because on Friday (last August when I went to see How to Succeed) they serve a big fish dinner. Anthony gets it and has it between shows. I was coming in on Friday afternoon and one of the other actors doesn't like fish so he got the fish dinner for me and we both had steamed whitefish with vegetables. I will have that again this Friday. I'll have Brunch on Sunday with Anthony and I get to sit at the Actor's Table but that's the only time I'll eat in the restaurant.
My, that was a long answer!

Don't know if we need spoilers to say who we like. I like the rev and his son. They are one of those teams that can sneak up on you because they don't appear to be that competetive. I don't like Victor and his sister (her name escapes me at the moment) but I never like the team that seems to always be ahead of the pack, I like a run for the finish line. I like the deaf kid and his mom. the rest of the teams haven't really distinguished themselves that much. I didn't care about the bottom teams this week

She told me she prefers "Ms. Wind". And she spells it Maria, to everyone's confusion.

When we named our cat Maria, after the song, we of course had to spell it the confusing way.

Listening to a marvelous Brazilian singer - a new CD from an older LP with music by Jobim - gorgeous - he conducts and orchestrates, too. The CD is obviously mastered from an LP and they have rather shamefully not done anything to disguise that fact.

I've been struggling through this French motion picture from France entitled Love Songs with Catherine Deneuve with musique de Michel Legrand - I really want to like it, but the characters are really thinly drawn and really irritating. We'll see if I tough it out or switch to something else.
-
Do you call the mind "Mariah"?
She told me she prefers "Ms. Wind". And she spells it Maria, to everyone's confusion.
;D
When we named our cat Maria, after the song, we of course had to spell it the confusing way.
So I imagine that all of her teachers mispronounced her name in school?
-
G'night!
-
Can Melissa Gilbert sing?
-
DR Dakota have you set a wedding date?
STAY DRY VIBES!
Does this mean you stayed dry? VIBES YOU CONTINUE TO DO SO!
thanks for the vibes

Last night from DR Danise:
"Everything is going well with Sheena and I. I'm just trying my best to hang on and pray that Consumer Affairs will be able to help me."
I'm sure being back with Sheena will help DR Danise's spirits
It did. :)
"I'm feeling so much better now that I have Sheena.
Yes, both of them are loving Sheena. She kept trying to lick Johns face the first night like she was saying "Thank You!!". He said she was a suck up (in a joking tone) because she seemed to know it was up to him if we could stay or go. I think they are really going to miss her when we finely get home.
I'm so proud of her, she is being such a good girl. She knows how to ask to go out. She hardly barks.
Some more good news. Channel 28 called me again. I told him about what the guy at 8 said (he had been nasty to Danise) and I think that kinda helped. I hope so. I just really want to go home.
Please give everyone my love. I may be able to post a bit from here. I just don't want to use the computer too much."

Listening to a marvelous Brazilian singer - a new CD from an older LP with music by Jobim - gorgeous - he conducts and orchestrates, too. The CD is obviously mastered from an LP and they have rather shamefully not done anything to disguise that fact.
Elizete?
-
Can Melissa Gilbert sing?
Is it important? Patty Duke played Aint Eller in OKLAHOMA! on Broadway a few years ago - although I think Cathy Lane played the Wednesday and Saturday matinees.
-
I suppose it depends how decent the singing is. I could be the most famous person in the world & no one would hire me to sing, unless for a joke.
-
Almost time for the finale of RU PAUL'S DRAG RACE.....live from Therapy in NYC! Although that's just for the tiara ceremony.....the winner may have already been determined.

Followed by the REUNION show!

This afternoon I went to the butterfly pavilion, and this is what I saw:

And no one asked me if I was her grandmother.
-
Cute photo. Did anyone ask if you were her aunt?
-
No one asked anything.
She wanted so badly to have a butterfly land on her. Then three did, one after another.
-

Has she been reading "The Secret"?
;)

DR Jane - Thanks again for the continued DR Danise updates. It's good to know that some of the stress in her life has been, well, de-stressed.
-
Survived taking my mom on several errands and my aunt to the eye doctor. I am exhausted.
You did your good deed for the day. Now, have some chocolate!

Well, I guess if things "change" in California, DR DAW and his ever-lovin' Jayson could move to Vermont:

If you sat on one of the benches while quietly reading a book on Civil War history; perhaps that certain someone would come along.
Abe Lincoln? Robert E. Lee?

Heard back from Mr. Sondheim and none of his lyrics remain in Illya Darling - now he's deciding whether I can use an anecdote he told me - I'm waiting for him to say yay or nay.
Oh Shucks! I thought we might have had a real possibility there.
If Mr. Sondheim doesn't okay it are you still able to share what it was?
-
OK... Now I'm really getting spoiled. The apartment complex I'm staying in just started nightly (Sunday-Thursday) "Doorstep Trash Collection". I just place my bagged trash in the container which they provide, place the container outside my door, and they do the rest. :)

Gone with the Wind (70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray]
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51%2B79d9-JoL._SS500_.jpg)
I hope that WB doesn't screw up the color. This film should look amazing in hi def

ditto re the color

Someday I'll get a blu-ray player. ::)
Just not yet. ;)

I forgot to mention both films will be
Each set will be numbered as part of a limited set, while supplies last.
As my father said the set is limited to how many the can sell.

For any DR watching CBS tonight...
-Did you see Patti LuPone in the commercial for CBS Cares Colonoscopy Sweepstakes? ::)
Is that the one where she says, "WHAT do YOU think is in YOUR colon?!?!"

Are you ok, Dakotacelt?

Vibes for DR DAKOTA CELT!!
-
I would guess DR CILLA LIZ's thunderstorms are headed my way tomorrow.
Basic Blu-Ray. I am nothing if not basic.
DRJOSE - the winner was most satisfying....and the reunion show is a Rebecca Beat Down.
-
Had an interesting evening filled with enjoyable viewing.
I began with the Blu-ray of MICHAEL CLAYTON. I first saw the film on HBO a few months ago. It was in HD, but HBO had reformatted the 2.35:1 to 1.78:1. I enjoyed the movie so much that I found a really cheap Blu-ray copy on Ebay for about $8 shipped. So I snapped it up.
Really enjoyed seeing it in its original screen format and in HD. The sound was a high bitrate Dolby Digital which was OK, but I would rather it had been Dolby TrueHD.
-
Next I watched last Thursday's THE OFFICE. Filled with laughs from beginning to end. This was the best the show has been in weeks.
-
Next, I watched CHUCK. Good show this week. Some fun adventures, and although I usually don't like the Buy More employees' stories, the rivalry with the Beverly Hills store did make me laugh this week (also, some of those guys were CUTE).
-
* * * * * KEEP DRY VIBES FOR DR DAKOTA CELT * * * * *
-
The SD versions of THE WIZARD OF OZ and GONE WITH THE WIND looked very good with satisfying color. The Blu-ray versions will be taken from the high def masters used for those transfers, so they should look just as good with, of course, much higher resolution and lossless soundtracks.
I wish Warners would offer (like Disney does with some of their catalog titles) a $10 rebate to "trade up" to the Blu-ray versions of films we've already bought. Those two sets are very expensive without some kind of rebate.
-
Next, I watched '24.' Another action-filled episode, though the pace wasn't quite as breakneck this week as the past two weeks. Still, for an action-oriented series, nothing beats it, at last among the shows which I watch.
-
Page Ten Dance!!!
-
I concluded my evening with tonight's MEDIUM. Excellent episode with some puzzling encounters and, though I did guess the boy's ultimate fate, still had me riveted. Good work all around.
-
Done with viewing, I think.
-
I just feel like music and a shower, not necessarily in that order.
-
I was so sick on Thursday night, I couldn't concentrate on THE OFFICE, so I look forward to seeing it again....when it is rerun in April.
-
I am loving me my new XM Radio. All last week I was serenaded by tons of Samuel Barber stuff, a lot of which I had never heard, including archival recordings of him singing. Then tonight I had the Bway station on and they were playing PLAIN AND FANCY all the way through, and I was reminded what a sweet score that is.
BK, you may know already, but Jobim's recordings with Elizete are considered by Brasilian cognoscenti to be the "real" beginnings of the Bossa Nova, years before Orfeu Negro.
-
DR JMK - I'm one of the few who's worked on a production of Plain & Fancy - and there really are some great tunes in that score.
-
Hmm... Two of my neighbors knocked on my door a couple of minutes ago. They got locked out of their apartment and wanted to call the leasing office. Alas, no one was answering at the leasing office, and the only after-hours help here is for emergency situations. In any case...
They had just come back from the workout room here... So...
-Sounds like the perfect set up for one of DR elmore's VHS Classics! ::)
-
DR JMK - I'm one of the few who's worked on a production of Plain & Fancy - and there really are some great tunes in that score.
I haven't listened to the OCR in awhile, but I've always liked it.
-
Now, I'm heading downstairs to bed.
Good night!
-
In any case...
They've gone over to the leasing office to see if there is anything posted over there. In the meantime...
They did inform me that there's actually a small screening room in the clubhouse which residents can rent out for their own movie nights. It's basically a room with a large, wide-screen TV, but, apparently it has three rows of stadium-type theatre seating. Cool!
-
I think you should book the room for a showing of ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN immediately.
-
Were these interlopers also involved with THE PRODUCERS?
-
Were these interlopers also involved with THE PRODUCERS?
Nope. The RAs live in a different complex. These two "interlopers" work for some technology firm here.
-
Oh techno geeks.
-
I must work on a DVD that is due in 10 days....and I want to finish it up. I may be back later!
-
I'm off to spend some time with "Angels and Demons". Good Night everyone!
-
So far I am dry but I am carefully monitoring ... We are getting overland seepage in the library...
-
I am really giving myself peptalks... The river is near 30 feet . Up nearly 5 feet since this morning.
-
DR DakotaCelt - Is your home near the flood waters (too)?
-
Going to be a long night... I really do need to relax... Wish i had some funny bad movies where I could just laugh

My apartment building is 6 blocks from the river ..... on a bluff
NDSU is a few more blocks beyond that. part of the problems is we are in the bottom of an ancient lakebed... and the land is flat...
It is pouring again outside... I am really nervous

This afternoon I went to the butterfly pavilion, and this is what I saw:

According to the rules you have 3 nights and 4 days including the night before the procedure, but you also have to be examined by their physician 1-2 days before the procedure. So, while a trip to New York would be nice, doesn't look like you'd have much time to enjoy anything.

Well, since you're there primarily for the colonoscopy... Which includes taking that "special" liquid the day before... You're not supposed to enjoy much of anything. ;)
-
Just a heads up on the action here..
http://www.inforum.com/ (http://www.inforum.com/)
The local Red Cross sent up our emergency response vehicle to Fargo today. The news said there are 28 others in the region on call to head up there if needed
-

You'll get the rain and we're going to get snow
-

Dakota, do you have an evacuation plan? Do you know where you can go if you have to? I hear that the river will probably crest at 40 feet

But you do have to sign releases for publicity and liability. You may end up on TV. I guess you'd really have to want you 15 minutes of fame to get there that way
-
Looks like my office will be closed tomorrow. Edith called and her mother-in-law died tonight. She's been hanging on for over a week and the family has been at the hospital. So, she's taking tomorrow off to help her husband with the things that need to be done. I think I'm just going to let the office be closed.
-
Tonight I got a bit of the cleaning bug, but have major plans for tomorrow.
One of the antique captain's chairs that my mom gave me was splitting down the middle of the seat, so I got out the gorilla glue and a clamp and fixed that. After it dried I decided to wipe the chair with lemon oil (very good for wood) and that led to oiling my kitchen cupboards (made them look like new) and the antique pie safe, and a couple other antique pieces, and the door, and the railing for the stairway.... I finally stopped myself, but man does that stuff make the old wood glow. It's a little oily to the touch right now, but by morning it will all have soaked in and will still look great.
-
DR Dakota, they are saying this may exceed the 1997 flood stage of 40.1 feet (you probably know this) Did your apartment building flood back then?
-
Notes are written. And now I can do whatever I please, and what I please is to take a nice hot shower.
-
Night
-
You can have the snow, DR CILLA LIZ.
Super vibes for DR DAKOTA CELT.
-
Hmmmmm - maybe I will watch a dee vee dee.

Dakota, do you have an evacuation plan? Do you know where you can go if you have to? I hear that the river will probably crest at 40 feet
Yes, I do... I would head up north on 29 or west on 94 and pick up 18 to go north
Several bridges are already closed.
I got no water in 97 but right now I feel somewhat good about that but you never now. EVery flood is different.
You mentioned that Red Cross was ending a vehicle up. I am wondering what detour they will take. Hiway 75 out of Breckenridge is closed as is I29 north of Wahpeton
-
DR Dakota, they are saying this may exceed the 1997 flood stage of 40.1 feet (you probably know this) Did your apartment building flood back then?
We did not have water but you never know.. Different variables could come into play..
I do have to say one thing and god bless them. The college students in the three area colleges have really stepped up to the plate in this fight. It is heartwarming to see
-
I've seen them on the weather channel filling sand bags. I did that for 2 months in the summer of 93 when we had our terrible floods.
-
Take care Dakota.
Now I'm really going to sleep
-
Just wanted to say goodnight to everyone.
I am about to order my cd's too.
Enjoyed reading all of today's posts. Wish I had the energy to respond. Monday's are always busy at work for me.
See you tomarrow. Happy Tuesday to everybody.
