Well, you've read the notes, the notes were hammered, and now it is time for you to post until the hammered cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: MAJUSCULE!
-
Welcome six GUESTS.
-
First Post!
And...
Goodnight.
;)
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
Peter, Paul & Mary - Their version of "Blowing in the Wind", "Puff, the Magic Dragon", "Motherless Child", "The Marvelous Toy", "Day Is Done", "Leaving On a Jet Plane", etc., etc., etc.
-
Well... With the title of today's notes, we'd all be remiss if we did not revisit this classic version of "If I Had A Hammer" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng2Ls4OA2k4). *Talk about a fancy gown!

DR vixmom - Don't forget to breathe from time to time.

Yesterday, DR Ben posted:
Who knew The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck would be so popular?
Popular and Fabulous! <snap>
-
And speaking of the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck (http://www.biggayicecreamtruck.com), I stopped by the BGICT earlier today/yesterday with my friends Brendan and Lukus. They busked for their ice cream!
(http://hphotos-sjc1.fbcdn.net/hs283.snc3/27791_441117819504_570954504_5434056_1662611_n.jpg)
They performed a cool acoustic version of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face/Bad Romance". Doug even joined in with some ice cream truck percussion and some cool harmonies on the chorus.
-
Here's the Happy Trio (Lukus, Brendan, Doug):

I agree wholeheartedly about the bassoons. Lady Gaga? Not so sure about that part.

I'm a big Woody Guthrie fan, and I love the recording of the cast of "Woody Guthrie's America." I even have it on my MP3 player, so I can listen to the likes of "Deportee" (very topical today), "Lonesome Valley," "Better World a Comin'," "End of My Line," "Hard Ain't It Hard" and, of course, "This Land Is Your Land."
I once visited a friend who was teaching in Cyprus and I tagged along when the faculty was invited to an upscale Cypriot home for a luncheon. The dishes, such as grilled haloumi cheese, were served and the family started singing their own folk songs, filling the air with some gorgeous and painful songs about the history of their then-torn island. They asked us for a song about America, and the only song that all of the professors knew was the first verse to "This Land Is Your Land." A few knew a couple of the others, and I ended up reciting a couple of the verses (few want to hear my singing) they either forgot or didn't know:
In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?
Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
God blessed America for me.
I remember that afternoon as one of the most beautiful of my life.
-
The truck was not half set up when I got there yesterday at about 12:45 but Doug's a good worker. He made sure everyone on the line was taken care of before he put up the rest of the signs.
-
Morning all.

So I shall go.

Tuesday morning greetings! So, I'm still on eastern time and wide awake at 6am here in Chicagoland. Ah, well, gives me plenty of time to get ready for another meet-up at the Vera outlet store with a Facebook friend before Richard and I head north to Wisconsin.
-
Good morning, all! I have a lot of things to do today, so I here I am. I have to get a couple of packages of Victor Herbert manuscripts ready for two copyists, more proofreading on THE ROSE OF ALGERIA scores, and I have an edit session with Skip Kennon. I work on Algeria first and head down to Toyland. Before my sessions with Skip, I want to go over all of the latest Babes In Toyland scores with my last edits to see if any redesigning of the harp parts was done behind my back. So far, they look good; they're certainly not as drastically redone as the harp for ]Lady of the Slipper I haven't decided my course of action yet, although at the present I am angry enough to leave the project.
So, on to pleasant things, like the TOD: both DR Ben and I have a huge affection for the Chad Mitchell Trio, and I credit them and the glorious Judy Collins for whatever plitical thinking I possess. I am also fond of the Weavers, Pete Seeger, Susan Reed, who recently died, Jean Ritchie who's the Real McCoy, Oscar Brand, Joan Baez, John Jacob Niles, whom I was lucky enough to see before he died, and two vanilla ice cream groups, The Kingston Trio and The new Christy Minstrels.
I never think of Woody Guthrie as a folk singer since he performed his own songs; I consider him a balladeer, like Bob Dylan, Eric Anderson, Ian Tyson, and the great Tom Paxton, who have all had their songs pass into the folk tradition and for all of whose music I have a great affection. I know I'm missing others, so I'll be curious to see who else turns up on the DR's lists.
-
Howdy!
-
And the word of the day is: MAJUSCULE!
And The Song Of The Day Is:
A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-----I'VE GOT A GAL IN KALAMAZOO
-
TOD:
Pete Seeger (and consequently, The Weavers)
The Kingston Trio
Peter, Paul and Mary
Joan Baez
Bob Dylan
-
TOD:
"Puff, the Magic Dragon" and "Blowin' in the Wind" are also favorites of mine.
-
Peter Paul & Mary, of course......
Randy Sparks and The New Christy Minstrels
The Kingston Trio
HOWEVER - my favorites were THE CHAD MITCHELL TRIO mentioned by DR ELMORE and DR BEN and THE BROTHERS FOUR.
-
You know how neighbors like to criticize.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggXGZ8yNDLQ

DR JMK we are no longer in the Mercury retrograde, but the Jupiter opposition to Saturn is NOT helping you.....or anyone.

Not my favorite BROTHERS FOUR song.....but lots of nice closeups of the boys....and LIVE!!!

TOD:
I Know I'll Never Find Another You - THE SEEKERS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ga9Bs4fzSY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ga9Bs4fzSY)
and THE SEEKERS Georgy Girl.
also, PETER, PAUL, AND MARY and THE NEW CHRISTY MINSTRELS (who I got to see in concert a few years back).

Well tonight is the second to last episode of LOST!
Sunday will be crazy with a 7-9pm show, the finale from 9-11:30pm and then Jimmy Kimmel. I wonder how many people will be watching it all that night?
-
I am also excited to see tonight's GLEE and THE GOOD WIFE, two of my favorite shows!
I know a while back some people thought that BK would hate GLEE. But to me anybody who loves musical theatre would most likely like it. It has such a positive vibe and all the musical numbers are so enjoyable to watch!
-
Oh and I forgot tonight is actually the 2nd to last week of AMERICAN IDOL too! And the results to DWTS. Dialidol seems to have a clear pick on who will be going home tonight. :(
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... Again. ;)
-
DR Jennifer - Let's hope that DialIdol is correct. Gawd knows that that contestant should have gone home last week. Or the week before. Or even the week before that.
-

I have a couple of friends who are in the process of coordinating a "traveling" "Lost" party for that night. They had actually both planned to have their own parties, but since they both "share" the same circle of friends, well... So, the person with the bigger apartment and the bigger TV will be hosting the first part of the evening. Then the other person will be hosting the late-night portion. Let's just say that a lot of Broadway actors are very happy that Monday is their day off. ;)
-
I sure hope BK takes the shortest route for his long and winding day. I know that the long and winding road will take him all day if he chooses that route.
And if any of your have a hammer, don't take it with you to the airport. You won't be leaving on a jet plane if you do.
-
I'm awake and already, it's a different day!
TOD - I do a lot of Peter Paul and Mary songs in the classroom. The kids love them. I'm also a fan of the Seekers, Bob Dylan, the Weavers, and all those folk groups as I find their songs accessible and still relevant to this day.
-
I am enjoying the EARTH VEE ESS THE SPIDER cd very much!
The booklet has some great photos in it....including the one used MOST effectively in the trailer for the film....the woman with her skirt caught in the door of an old Buick....and screaming and screaming as the camera moves in on her face!
-
The CD artwork is also great....and I love the booklet back cover....Miss Sally Fraser, a baby....and a SPIDER LEG!!!
-
Working on the rehearsal schedule.
I can't rehearse on weekends and on Monday or Friday nights. And I can't be there on Tuesdays or Wednesdays if I can't get a ride. Thursdays are also not good for me...
Now what lead role did you give me?
-
I'm up. I continue to have the weirdest dreams - again, not bad dreams, just weird.
-

Luckily I am too exhausted to groan. ;D

I am also enjoying the EARTH VS THE SPIDER cd.
..or as my friend Marge's son Tommy called it when he was a 4 year old (he loved the movie), EARTH IS OF THE SPIDER.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!
Julie Taymor Says 'Spider-Man' Needs to be a Huge Hit to Cover Costs (http://nyti.ms/dc0E9h)
This needs to be filed under... DUH!!!!
-
That Julie Taymor continues to prove what a cutting edge thinker she is.
-
Had a few telephonic calls.
-
And now I'll get ready for lunch meeting with David Wechter.
-
DR Jennifer - Let's hope that DialIdol is correct. Gawd knows that that contestant should have gone home last week. Or the week before. Or even the week before that.
I disagree. I think that nicole is clearly the best. And i think that evan is quite good. I do think that the judges overscored erin and chad. There is no way that they should have gotten 9s or 10s. I think that erin is better than chad. Although i think chad is more popular than erin. I am curious how popular nicole and evan are with fans.
-
DR Jose that sounds cool about the LOST parties. I think it could be very neat to watch with other fans. Although I don't like distractions. So maybe I would not enjoy it with others around. Although if they are all true fans that i'm sure they will mostly be quiet.
-
I just don't like these subjects that are basically done better in a movie....thrown onto the stage.....not EVERY movie can be a musical.....well....why not ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN, THE MUSICAL?
-
I have my cast....and I am most pleased with it.
Just finished the model of the set and am looking forward to the read thru tomorrow evening.
-

With all the whisper-speak that sometimes goes on in LOST (and I'm not talking about the Whispers), I don't think I could watch it with more than one other person in the room (and I would let that person know that they were not to talk at all until a commercial...)
-
I see ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN to be more of an opera than a musical.
-
Well....yes, that IS true DR DtM.....it's so much larger than life.
-
Still waiting for David to call about our lunch meeting - should be very soon.
-
It's funny to think that Blythe Danner once starred in BLITHE SPIRIT and that Anne Shirley played Anne Shirley in ANNE OF GREEN GABLES.

Barbra Streisand IS Hud!
-
LOST SPOILER:
Since this is the finale, I predict they will either all be killed or be rescued.
END OF SPOILER!
-
ADDITIONAL SPOILER:
Or I suppose some may be killed and others rescued.
-
Or they may be rescued and then killed by their rescuers.

Or they may be rescued and then killed by their rescuers.

Yes...that would be the polite thing to do. :D
-
Oy! Such a day I had. I am exhausted. I think I will lied down and sleep through JUDGE JUDY. When I awake, I need to prepare the Herbert copies for the copyists and keep records of who's copying what.
-
DR JRand59, did you get to listen to IOLANTHE?
-
BK, I know this isn't Wednesday, but is this new project you are working on with David; is this a screenplay, a play, a musical, or none of the above?
-
DR JRand59, did you get to listen to IOLANTHE?
Oh! I am sorry I didn't mention it. What clever fellows they were. I love the story.....I really didn't know what direction Act 2 would take....for sure....but....of course NOW I want to see a production of it.

They performed a cool acoustic version of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face/Bad Romance". Doug even joined in with some ice cream truck percussion and some cool harmonies on the chorus.
que es busked?
-
Playing in the streets, subways etc and gathering spare change from passers-by. Or maybe a little ice cream!

Greetings from beautiful (really) Delafield, WI! We checked out of our Chicagoland hotel and went to the outlet mall, where Richard walked and I visited Vera again. A Facebook friend and her daughter arrived just as I thought Richard's patience had expired. We had a nice visit, I paid for my purchases and left the girls there to do their shopping. We headed north on Illinois 31 through the Fox River Valley and stopped for lunch at Panera in McHenry, IL. We drove through rolling Wisconsin countryside and arrived here about half an hour ago. Richard has gone to the seminary for evening prayer.
-
Enjoy Wisconsin DR GINNY!

TOD: The first album I ever bought was Peter, Paul and Mary's "Moving". (Their breakthrough album.) They were the first group I followed and I bought their albums for years. Also, they were the first group I saw in concert. I was SO excited to see them live!
Later I became a fan of The Smothers Brothers, John Hartford, Pete Seeger (especially his Sacco and Vanzetti songs) Dylan, The Kingston Trio, and The Greenwood County Singers (featuring a young Van Dyke Parks, his brother Carson, and the writer Tom Robbins).
My current favorite folk singer continues to be Roy Zimmerman, a combination of Tom Lehrer and Jon Stewart. Here's a song he frequently recycles: Ted Haggard, George Rekers...next week, who knows?

Miss Dixie Bell is at the groomer's. Not that she's a noisy dog - she isn't - but the house feels strangely quieter without her here.
-
Favorite songs: too many to name, but definitely "Brother Can You Spare a Dime", "Freight Train", "Puff", "Blowin' in the Wind"...
...oh, now I'm remembering---Arlo Guthrie, Steve Goodman...so many great ones.

And...page 4.

Jennifer, are you sure that you and Jose aren't talking about two different things? I got the impression that Jose was talking about Idol, but you are talking about DWTS.

Here's Atlanta's answer to the Big Gay Ice Cream truck:

Handcrafted popsicles, and you can follow him on twitter, etc. to see where he's at. I haven't had one yet but I hear they're delish! Examples: White chocolate with raspberry top, Chocolate sea salt, lemon lavender, canteloupe basil, Strawberry Pineapple, endless variety!

Jennifer, are you sure that you and Jose aren't talking about two different things? I got the impression that Jose was talking about Idol, but you are talking about DWTS.
I guess we'll have to ask DR Jose which show he is talking about. I am definitely talking about DANCING WITH THE STARS. And i assumed that he was too, since dialidol only puts up their results after the show airs. And since IDOL is only on tonight. There are no results up now for IDOL.
-
I need to read before tv begins tonight. I have a book i need to give to my sister by friday. And another one that is due next wednesday. And i see the library has another book i requested. And there are quite a handful of other requests that come out in april and may which i should be getting soon.
-
It is finally getting warmer out here. It had been so hot like a month ago. And then it got cool again. BUt this week it will be sunny and hot every day. Which is great for everything except using the oven. So it's BBQ! Today i made grilled boneless chicken breasts, which came out delicious.
And i cooked my sliced potatoes in the toaster oven!
-
I"m not sure what to watch tonight: GLEE, LOST or THE GOOD WIFE. I really like them all. So it's a tough choice!
And oddly enough even though i prefer LOST to the CELEBRITY APPRENTICE I guess on sunday i'll have to decide which show to watch (since both finales will be on at the same time). And i'm assuming the end of LOST will be discussed a lot, as will the winner of CELEB APPRENTICE.

I don't watch either "The Good Wife" or "Celebrity Apprentice," but I'm recording both "Glee" and "Lost" tonight because I'm making one DVD of each for a co-worker and a friend. I'll watch "Lost" "live" tonight and Sunday (and as I record it onto my DVD burner) and then watch "Glee" later tonight.

I haven't had one of these popsicles yet but I intend to, probably when my partner comes in from NY to finish our baseball film. He's a foodie, and this is two blocks form where we're mixing, so...
And for TCB, we also have:

It's just a little walk up ice cream stand in a rough part of town but so yummy! Some flavors:
-Coconut Jalapeno
- Sweet Corn
- Death by Chocolate
- Red Bean
- Karachi Kulfi
and my favorite: Salted Caramel.
Sorbets:
- Tangerine
- Blackberry
- Mango-Coconut
And if you dance for them they take 20% off the price of the ice cream!

Had lunch, and finished our meeting. I am going to see this staged reading this evening, and a package just arrived at the mail place so I'll go pick that up at some point before they close.

It's funny to think that Blythe Danner once starred in BLITHE SPIRIT and that Anne Shirley played Anne Shirley in ANNE OF GREEN GABLES.
Except Ann Shirley decided to take the name during the filming of Anne of Green Gables.

What medication-for your cold?

From Edi:
Today we saw a handsome dog at our local Starbucks. The owners said it was a Swiss Mountain Dog. He looked like Sherlock, except with short hair. Nice doggy!
There are four breeds of Sennenhund-type dogs from the Swiss Alps. They are all tri-colored & marked similar to Sherlock. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog was bred from the Bernese Mt. Dog for short hair. The other two breeds, Appenzeller & Entlebuch, are medium sized dogs with short hair.

After 12 hours I have left work. And I get to come home and, you guessed it, work. Work is a four-letter word. Hope all of you are enjoying your evening.

I've finished all the work I need to accomplish today, and I can fall down and watch tv for a bit. I have to be up early for the McGlinnventory.

Keith will never do dual eye check-up with me. He was done half an hour before I was. I get motion sickness & eye strain from the exams and my eyes are still having trouble focusing. I should really get off the computer, take my glasses off & read.

Staged reading.....

Juggling jobs tonight, but I've got the stereo on the background and my ear picked up on this great, cynical lyric from the five-times-married Alan Jay Lerner: "You can buy a new woman/But never a pal."

Good Evening!
And now...
-
DR Jennifer - Ah, yes, I was talking about "Idol", not "DWTS". I guess I had skimmed your original post, and as soon as I saw "DialIdol", I went with "AI". Spoo!
-I'm not watching "DWTS".
-Nor am I watching this round of "The Celebrity Apprentice" since it's become a bit obvious that NBC has been treating it as a "filler" show by having to come up with enough clips and soundbites to fill so many 2-hour slots on Sunday nights this season. It's not that I don't like the show, I just don't feel a need a watch it. -And I keep thinking that Donald Trump should just go ahead and give money to all the charities that the celebrity contestants are "competing" for instead of having anyone compete for the money.

That Julie Taymor continues to prove what a cutting edge thinker she is.

Good Evening !
And Now...
VIBES ;D

DR Jose that sounds cool about the LOST parties. I think it could be very neat to watch with other fans. Although I don't like distractions. So maybe I would not enjoy it with others around. Although if they are all true fans that i'm sure they will mostly be quiet.
This group of "Lost" fans take the show very seriously. I'm pretty sure that it will be one of the quietest parties on record. ;)

It rained for 2 days. That was nice.
Don't have much else to say.

Night all.

And speaking of the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck (http://www.biggayicecreamtruck.com), I stopped by the BGICT earlier today/yesterday with my friends Brendan and Lukus. They busked for their ice cream!
They performed a cool acoustic version of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face/Bad Romance". Doug even joined in with some ice cream truck percussion and some cool harmonies on the chorus.
que es busked?
THIS (http://www.flickr.com/photos/josespiano/4618538255/) is the last minute of their busking. Lukus is a little pitchy - which he freely admits to - but he had also not warmed up, and there was a lot of white noise from the BGICT generator. However, it's still fun to watch and listen too. And Doug did reward them with some ice cream. Lukus chose a Vanilla soft-serve with Olive Oil and Sea Salt, and Brendan got a "Salty Pimp" (vanilla softserve, dulce de leche, sea salt, chocolate dip).

Here's Atlanta's answer to the Big Gay Ice Cream truck:

Handcrafted popsicles, and you can follow him on twitter, etc. to see where he's at. I haven't had one yet but I hear they're delish! Examples: White chocolate with raspberry top, Chocolate sea salt, lemon lavender, canteloupe basil, Strawberry Pineapple, endless variety!
Actually...
Popsicle have become something of a "craze" here in NYC lately. There are a couple of "artisanal popsicle" stands that have been opening up over the past couple of months, and, well..
people's pops (http://www.peoplespops.com/peoples_pops.html), which started two summers ago at the Brooklyn Flea, recently opened up a stand in Chelsea Market. So far, I've tried Rhubarb-Jasmine, Blueberries & Cream, Apricot-Cardamom & Pear-Maple-Yogurt. All quite tasty!
Here's a breakdown of some other popsicle vendors from The New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/05/dining/05popsicles.html).

As for tonight's "American Idol"...
The show finally kicked into gear tonight. Let's just hope that "America" does not derail things tomorrow night.
-
As for tonight's "Lost"...
It was a good set up for Sunday's finale. I know a couple of people who think they have figured it all out. As for myself, I'm just continuing to enjoy the ride. It's "easier" that way - I only think about the show while I'm watching it. ;)
-
As for tonight's "Glee"...
I thought it was a good episode, but also somewhat of a downer. But a good downer. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out.

DR JRand, you should check around and see if Randy Sparks and his Christy Minstrels will be in your area. They have played Salem twice in the last 5 years.

Back from the staged reading. Interesting. I'm flattered that my "staging" technique for these things is now being used by others :)
-
The show itself is merely okay and needs work. But I'm told that even though this is their very first staged reading it's already been published by Samuel French. Does that make ANY sense?
