Jane - I was just asking last night if at this point it would be all right to not have to worry about spoiler space two days after the CLOSER episode had aired.. (I think everyone was being careful.)
"THE CLOSER" SPOILER
Maybe this is wild fear on my part - but even in addition to what it says about the main character now contributing to a death in a pre-meditated way - I worry that when people see prosecutors go back on deals or screw over the person they had a deal with on a popular Tv show - it sends a message that deals are deals only when the prosecutors can't find a way around it.
And when a character a show has depicted as a positive character we're supposed to understand for a whole series does such a thing - might it have an effect on real-life people trusting prosecutors in such informant deals in the future.
-
DR Jose have you been watching the Fox show MASTERCHEF? For some reason I love it.
-
Re: THE CLOSER SPOILERS
I know I personally appreciate it since we are behind a season here. But as long as the words "THE CLOSER" are written on the first line before the spoilerish info I would be okay.
-
Congrats to BK on the show!
-
Happy Birthday to DR Ron!!!!!
Do you have any special dining plans?
-
Good morning, all! The laundry is in the washers and I have to mop and vacuum before the apartment is reassembled. I had a very peculiar dream involving Steve Sondheim last night, although I remember nothing of it now except tat the cover of the vocal score to A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM is indeed red, so I was dreaming in color.
I am on my final round of pricing today for the McGlinnventory: I've got abot 3 pages of composer editions to look up on the internet and price, and I've got work following that on notes for the two Herbert recordings.
BK, congratulations on a successful presentation.
TOD: The first song cut from a show that I really fell in love with was "Everybody Loves You" from the Rodgers & Hart I'D RATHER BE RIGHT. At that time in the late 1960s, the cut song everyone was writing about as a fantastic lost Rodgers & Hart song was "It's Pretty In The City," which never registered with me. My current goal is to hear the lost numbers "The Quests" and "Face To Face" that were in the Toronto opening night performance of CAMELOT before I kick. I have too many favorites to list all of the obscure show songs I love, but they run from "Barney O'Flynn" from the 1903 BABES IN TOYLAND to "Let America Come" from the demo of FOR THE LOVE OF TIFFANY, with about 100 years worth of shows in between.
-
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday to DR Ron Pulliam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on last night to BK and everyone involved!

Happy Birthday to West Coast DR - RP!

Congrats to MR BK and cast & scatterbrained crew on their successful venture last evening!!!

Well, my work place found the "leak" in the software that prohibits us from visiting all web sites categorized as "entertaingment" or "social networking"....grrrrrr. So, I made it a point to sit down at the computer at home this morning before heading off. I must do this more often because I sooooo miss reading the notes every day. Anyway, "Lost in Boston" was simply wonderful last night! I just LOVE Alet Taylor and Jason Graae. I could watch them all day. The songs were all really terrific too - lots of story songs (or I guess they're called "plot songs," which I just learned last night) and those are Mark's favorite kind, and I love them too.

TOD:
Swing Your Bag - CRY FOR US ALL
That Was the Day - DONNYBROOK!
I'll Never Change Him - BEACH BLANKET BINGO, cut from the film and re-used in SKI PARTY so that Miss Annette has NO solo song in the movie and Linda Evans/Jackie Ward has THREE!

DR DRUXY - I enjoyed your book very much......the personal family stories were most interesting & entertaining....and the stories of your work were also....
I shall have to do some thinking before I do my AMAZON review, but I will do it Sunday or Monday.
I especially liked the story of how your parents met, the boxing contract story, and all of the DALLAS stories. Your beginning in the publicity biz was very enterprising!
Mr Glenn Hughes was of course a friend of Frances Farmer and appeared on her episode of THIS IS YOUR LIFE......did he ever mention her while you were there - or was she persona non grata at UW?
And no mention of my favorite columnist of the time.....Rona Barrett.....
-
Happy birthday, Ron!
Another observation about last night: I don't know what it is about L.A., but Mark and I seem to run into Gary Stockdale every where we go. It doesn't matter if it's a musical theater event like LIB or a Brian Wilson rock concert, but he's always there. And it's always great to see him. I wish he'd sing live more - he has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.
-
Thursday morning greetings! My horoscope in today's Cincinnati Enquirer starts, "Last month matured you..."
So that's what that was ::)

Thanks. I'm very pleased that you enjoyed it.
I don't think that the boxing story has ever been told before. I only learned about it a few years ago. It's amazing what you learn about your parents after they're gone.
Glenn Hughes was really on the way out when I was at the UW. I never really got close to him, and I don't recall Frances Farmer ever being mentioned.
On the other hand, one of my high school Drama teachers (Joe Steele-Shaw) was always mentioning her, but at that point in my life, I really wasn't that familiar with her work, so it didn't make that big of an impression. It was after college that I "discovered" her.
I never had many dealings with Rona. I tried to avoid the columnists who "hurt" people.
As you may know, Betty Grable did not know she was dying until she heard it on Rona's broadcast.
Again, thanks for the nice words.
-
Larry, I'm going to check out the Joan Morris CD when I go home for lunch. If it plays on our CD player I'll download the last 4 tracks and e-mail them to you today. If they don't play, as Anthony said, he'll make another CD.
-
Congratulations to BK and everyone involved with last night's show at the Gardenia - wish I could have been there!
-
Happiest of birthdays to DR Ron Pulliam!
-
I thought I'd put through my amazon order for Druxy's book - but I was not charged for it and got no Amazon confirmation e-mail -
so it is ordered and (as Jrand might quip) I will go sit by the mailbox and wait for it to arrive.
-
Good morning, all!
My deepest thanks for my birthday greetings to BK, Ben, Laura, Druxy, td, JohnG, Kerry, Sam, ArnoldMBrockman, Dan (The Man), FJL, Jennifer, "Elmo", Jrand60, Amy and Ginny.
Jennifer: My co-workers are taking me to lunch at "Asena", the eastern Mediterranean restaurant in nearby Alameda. These are the people who catered my boss' retirement luncheon back in March. I LOVE THIS PLACE! It should be a wonderful meal.
I'm taking tomorrow off to give myself a 4-day weekend.[/b]

Happy Birthday Ron!
Congrats, Bruce & Co. on your rousing success! I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Pamela Myers over a decade ago, and she was as absolutely charming as one could wish for (if a bit creeped out by the fawning 20-year-old with a Company LP that was older than he).
TOD:
I'm taking the TOD to mean "favorite songs that were IN a well-known show but aren't well-known." With that in mind, here goes (in no particular order at all, and an extremely incomplete list):
"Marry the Man Today" from Guys and Dolls
"Try Me" from She Loves Me
"Will I?" from Rent
"Children and Art" from Sunday in the Park (The waterworks start every time Marie sings "Mama is everywhere/he must have loved her so much")
"Now I Have Everything" from Fiddler
"All You Have to do is Wait" from City of Angels
"Lament" from Into the Woods
-
Happy B'day to Ron!
A big congrats to BK for what we knew would be a brilliant success!
TOD:
"The Ballad of the Sad Young Men" from THE NERVOUS SET
"Windflowers" from THE GOLDEN APPLE (Judy Kaye does a great version of this on one of her albums)
"You're the Woman for the Man who has Everything" from SUPERMAN
"Everybody Likes to Take a Bow" from HAZEL FLAGG
"A Little More Heart" from HAZEL FLAGG
"Ilona" from SHE LOVES ME
"Night Song" from GOLDEN BOY
"Never Will I Marry" from GREENWILLOW
"Just for Today" from HER FIRST ROMAN
"Penny Plain, Twopence Colored" from KEAN
"They Couldn't Compare To You" from OUT OF THIS WORLD
"Old Maid" from 110 IN THE SHADE
"Once Knew A Fella" from DESTRY RIDES AGAIN
"Normandy" from ONCE UPON A MATTRESS
"Come With Me" from BOYS FROM SYRACUSE
"In The Heart of the Dark" from VERY WARM FOR MAY
-
I'm up and at least an hour before I should be - so five hours of sleep, I guess, unless I can get some later.
-
Happy Birthday DR and neighbor Ron!
-
TOD:
My favorite obscure musical number is BOOGIE WOOGIE BOOGYMAN from the 1944 film MURDER IN THE BLUE ROOM.
"There's a ghost in Tin Pan Alley, walkin' on the piano keys. He's a jivin ghost, who can make the most, of his rhythmic tendencies..."
I recently sent this movie to BK, and am eager to know what he thinks of the film and this song, once he has a chance to view it.

A very happy birthday to DR Ron Pulliam (alia DR RLP). Have a great day Ron!!

Looks like another pretty day here.
-
I've got to get serious about casting the next show - only two people, but one I'd like to be a newcomer so I'm just trying to meet people and get recommendations - there was one gal who was perfect, but Mr. Barry Pearl (who was at the Gardenia last night) snapped her up for Happy Days, the Musical.
-
I guess I'm feeling better today, health wise. I'll just keep drinking all day as I did yesterday.
Now, where is that accordion....
-
The laundry is finished, I've spoken to the Mighty Rob Berman and the Naked Hercules Zak Stains via telephone, vacuumed and mopped the floors, sent importanyt emails, and bathed. Now it's time to actually accomplish some work.
I need a nap.
DR Ginny, I really didn't think you needed a maturing experience, but clearly there are superior powers who decided I was wrong.

I am never confused. Ask DR JRand60. "Let America Come" is one of his favortie songs as well as mine!

Silly boy, you should know you can't play a CD in a VCR.
Back in the early days of CDs, when they listed an 800 number on all the releases in case of quality issues, I used to call, put on a "Gomer Pyle" voice and tell them my stylus was just slipping over the surface of the disc, as well as the hole in the middle being too big for the turntable. They were not amused. :)

I kept thinking the guy would refuse to leave the car, and later he had time to get back in it. The episode certainly generated some interesting comments.

Today is the 15th anniversary of the opening of Cleveland's
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (http://rockhall.com/)
I'd have guessed it was older than that. One of their slogans is "If it's too loud, you're too old." When I visited there 2+ years ago, it was so I guess I am.
-
I want to kick some butt today. I hate it when I send new music files to people who tell you, six weeks later, can you send me the following numbers? I expect the MD for this recording project to be more on top of things than he is and it's driving me mad, especially since I discovered that on Monday he had none of the computerised music in his book and I asked him to go through it and tell me what manuscript copies needed to be replaced. He has not yet done it and this affected his rehearsal with Rebecca Luker today. Don't complain to me when you wonder why your career's going nowhere.

Just dropping by before Earl picks us up and carries us away to that Volley Ball Island.
My Darling Daughter, who clearly does not believe in taking any precautions, is planning on bringing the family down to Rehoboth tonight to spend the weekend in their RV.
There should be minimum danger, unless the storm fails to make it's predicted turn to night (which is exactly what Katrina did, at the last minute - sparing the Panhandle and destroying the rest of the gulf coast.

I don't know if it was Jose's friends but someone told me they'd just come directly from the airport.
-
I'm just choosing the Unsung Musicals songs - much harder - so many good ones on volumes one and three - two not so much. There will be no put-togethers in this show - I felt last night's show was one song too long so that will take care of that. The daunting song is Sherry - I have an idea who can do it, but she'd have to fly in and I don't know if she would want to or if she even can.
-
Back from a really fun lunch with my two Adriana fans (and the father of one of them). They are truly obsessed with the books and Adriana - both of them have read them multiple times and can quote a lot of dialogue. It was so gratifying to hear them talk about their favorite scenes and characters and moment - it just makes me so happy to know that those books are loved by the age range they were written for (these girls are actually twenty although both look MUCH younger). They totally identify with Adriana, and Miranda's dad told me she's now shopping at vintage clothing stores. I told them a little about the new book and they seemed really excited by the direction that book will take.
They've been to locations talked about in the book, and after lunch they were all going to the alley in back of Mel's to see the site of the first book's murder - the diagram in the book is of that alley and everything is there down to the last detail.
-
They are also telling all their friends about the books, so I'm hoping we can get a real Adriana Hofstetter "thing" going. One of them is going to try to create an Adriana page on Facebook. Interestingly, neither girl has guessed the killer in any of the books.
-
A Very Happy Birthday to DR Ron Pulliam!! ;D
-
Good Afternoon!
...And, apparently, I took a nap. A long nap. Hmmm...
-
Ginny and bk - My friends did not make it to The Gardenia last night. Alas, they didn't make it into LAX until this morning due to mechanical issues with their connecting flight. :-\

BK, so glad the meet with the Adriana fans went so well!
Their energy and enthusiasm were infectious and I just wanted to immediately sit down and start the book, although of late I've been thinking about waiting as I normally would till January 1. But we'll see how this month goes, and if I find I'm so inclined I'll just begin it.
-
We have a very amusing "hidden" track on the new show release.
-
See?
-
Now, I guess I should get motivated to jog, after which I'll sit on the couch like so much fish and finish French Can Can, and then figure out what else I want to watch.
I've made the preliminary list of Unsung Musicals songs - it's a little alarming how many duets there were and I have five or six on this list, which is a little daunting, but they're all really great songs. So, I may cut one and replace it with a solo.
-
See?
Seen.

Back from a leisurely mile and a half jog.

Came home to a nice surprise: A phone call with an offer for a quick piece of PR that pays a hefty price tag. Perfect, as I start to look for work.

DR Jane - When is your DS Craig driving to NYC? From what I can gather, the DC-NYC corridor should be fine. If anything, there will probably be a bit more traffic this holiday weekend between DC and NYC due to people changing their Outer Banks plans.

We are home from our most recent trip to the vet. After 5 1/2 weeks Sherlock's tail still is not healing. She is trying a new ointment on it. We will have to change the bandage on Sunday & put more ointment on. Photos of his tail have been taken to put on a veterinary surgical website for more suggestions.
This is extremely frustrating!!!!

He only said the weekend so I'm not sure. I emailed and asked. I suppose I'll only get a response if he is still home.
Thanks for letting me know about the corridor. I feel better about that even if I'm not thrilled about the idea of extra, extra traffic on a holiday weekend.
-
I guess I'm feeling better today, health wise. I'll just keep drinking all day as I did yesterday.
If you kept drinking all day, it might explain why you only guess you are feeling better.

Congrats on the success of the show, BK! I wish I could have been there too!
I noticed that Jason sang "A Green and Private World." The only time I've seen Jason live was at a tribute to David Zippel. The singers came out after the show for a "meet-and-greet" and I told Jason how much I liked his rendition of that "Green and Private World" on your "Lost in Boston" CD. He seemed very appreciative and thanked me for reminding him about the song.

I'll send some very strong positive vibes to your youngest child. Hopefully the internet will bring some help.
Thank you. One thing I like about this vet is that she isn't embarrassed to turn to specialists for suggestions.

DR Jane - When is your DS Craig driving to NYC? From what I can gather, the DC-NYC corridor should be fine. If anything, there will probably be a bit more traffic this holiday weekend between DC and NYC due to people changing their Outer Banks plans.
He is leaving tomorrow afternoon and taking the train, not driving. :)

We're back from a nice Thursday date. I had some books to pick up at one of my former employer's branches and we stopped on the way for me to drop off some Vera Bradley items at a consignment shop. We had a nice dinner at Red Lobster (all broiled for me) and now I'm eating a chocolate Tootsie Pop, pretending it's the chocolate cake from the Red Lobster menu.

Super tail vibes for Sherlock.

Just dropping by before Earl picks us up and carries us away to that Volley Ball Island.
And what would you name your volleyball, DR DERBRUCER?
Well, I guess Rudy Volley would work.

Came home to a nice surprise: A phone call with an offer for a quick piece of PR that pays a hefty price tag. Perfect, as I start to look for work.
Congratulations, DR John G!

Tail wagging vibes to DD Sherlock!

Think I'll mosey on over to Gelson's to get a snack of some sort.

My pet food place moved so I went to the new location for the first time today. I buy bags of holistic health cat food because one cat has an allergy to wheat, which is in most cat foods. The brand I usually buy changed their packaging, but I bought what I usually get (I thought) and got it home. When I opened the bags I noticed that they had changed the shape of the food, it was round and thicker, probably harder for them to chew. I usually mix this with another type of food, but today, the top came off the container and cat food went EVERYWHERE. I swept it up and noticed the kitties were eating it but flinging off the new food. When I looked at the bag, I realized it was DOG FOOD. It looked jut like the cat food but had a small silhouette of a dog in the corner. The store owner knows I've been buying cat food there for years and she didn't notice either. So I think I just wasted $60 (and that was after a 20% discount.) Argh!!

Guess I'll see if the humane society wants it.

I went and rented a copy of "Ghost Writer" in anticipation of finding fault with BK's rave review. Unfortunately, the film was even better than BK suggested so I'll have to take my fighting mood elsewhere.

More deep thanks for birthday greetings to Elan, Charles Pogue, Matthew, MBarnum (neat card, Mike!), JMK, JoseSPiano, DR Jane (!), George, TCB, Kevin H and Edisaurus.
Lunch was split pea and ham soup. The ham was sliced very thin like prosciutto and in slivers. Very, very tasty. My main course was veal raviolis in a plum reduction sauce (tasted like wild cherries). Dessert was tiramisu. A whole one was brought out with candles. After I carefully blew them out (so as not to spray the food), we all had a very nice portion.
It was "yum".

Mary Linda's parents (much younger than we are!) are riding in DALMAC (http://www.dalmac.org/), a bicycle tour that goes from East Lansing, Michigan, to the Mackinaw Bridge. Their youngest daughter is their chase team, driving their van and meeting them each night for them to sleep in the vehicle. Friday afternoon, Rob and Mary Linda will go to Wilderness State Park on Sturgeon Bay (Lake Michigan) to ready the family's campsite, where they will all rendezvous for the holiday weekend. Today they rode 71 miles; they project 89 tomorrow.

The GWTW museum is down the street form my old house in Marietta, and she came to the museum several times; everyone said she was very sweet.
-
DR edisaurus - If all of the dog food didn't end up on the floor, couldn't you take back the bag and exchange it for the cat food? The story could return it back to the supplier as a "defective bag". ???
-
Tomorrow, Julie's film, CLEAR BLUE TUESDAY, opens in NY!
-
Thank you DRs Laura, Ginny, & Edi.
-
Oh Edi, I'm sorry about your expensive mistake. Dog and cat food are usually in different sections. Are you sure they hadn't stocked the food with the cat food? If so they might exchange it or give you some sort of extra discount.
I'm sure the Humane Society will be very happy to take the food.

Interesting that Keith and I were both very disappointed.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RON P!!!! I've tried to post this three times and it just won't happen
-
Third times a charm!
-
They were still moving in at the pet store and it's not really organized yet, so it's kind of hard to find stuff but I'll go there anyway and see what they say. They groom dogs so maybe they can use it. (They were grooming one named Obama when I was there!)
-
DR FRED - Why would you ever trust an informant? If someone told you that you would get a minimum of 20 years in prison unless you cooperated and testified and got people indicted or convicted, wouldn't you be tempted to lie? I'm convinced that it happens every day.

One of the gals from today has made an Adriana Hofstetter page on Facebook. I just send out a bunch of "like" invitations - so "like" the page and then post something fun on the wall!

CONGRATS BK on a successful evening

I agree Cilla. I'm sure this is very much on your mind after your last trial.

So of course, now that I've planned a trip to see Van Dyke Parks in Ohio in 3 weeks and bought tickets, he writes me to say that he's coming to GA in October, hoping to make it easier for me to see him. Oh well, I'll drag a different gang to see him there. That's where I went to college so I still have a lot of friends there.
My friend Susan will be flying form LA to Ohio for this, and she wants to see Dayton, since Randy Newman wrote a song about it. Any must-sees there?
-
I don't think I have ever had a Dutch letter. If they are filled with almond paste, I want one!!!
It was quite the disappointment today, they had almond patties (also very good) but no letters. They only do letters by special order or at the holidays. I should have mentioned that Labor Day is coming up and it is a holiday ;)
-
DR elmore - FYI: Part One of the "The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Reunion" is on Bravo tonight at 11:00pm, and then again right afterwards at 12:15am.
-
. Each Dutch Letter is an "S" shaped puff pastry about eight inches tall, with moist almond paste filling, baked to golden perfection and sprinkled with a touch of sugar. A delightful gift for any occasion.

HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO DEAR RLP!!!!!!!

At our local Sublime Doughnuts, they do a "birthday box" where they spell out HAPPY BIRTHDAY in doughnuts if you buy a (baker's) dozen to take to the office (or share with yourself!).

DR Jane, this is the website for my mom's favorite Dutch bakery. They have a lot more than the Dutch bakery I went to today
-
I agree Cilla. I'm sure this is very much on your mind after your last trial.
Oh, not so much from that trial. It's the federal system, nothing new. They don't do a lot of things like taking fingerprints or trying to establish things with physical evidence, they just get cooperators to snitch and as soon as they have a couple who say similar things about someone, they indict. There are mandatory minimum sentences and you can't get anything less unless you cooperate and the prosecutor files a motion for substantial assistance. The people who get the longest sentences are the people who don't know anything. Welcome to America.
-
Congrats JohnG!!
-
I think I left a potato in the microwave a few hours ago, lol...I better go check on it
-
I'm pretty sure it will be done by now, Cillaliz.

Not only "know nothing" but too lacking in guile to be "creative".

Yes, DR Elmore, Glendower is in Lebanon. Also the Golden Lamb, but they're in the throes of a major remodeling project.

Why did I think it was in Dayton? I was there in a school trip around 1958 or so.

I'm glad Alet will be in more than one show.
Looks like this weekend will also be a dvd musical marathon at my place. I think I have enough to keep me busy for 3 days.
And I'll play all the Unsung Musicals cd's.
Yea, yard work & sunshine, musical dvd's and cd's, that should keep the blues away. ;D

From the news today, did you know that the cheapest pet per year is a goldfish at $200.00 for food etc., the most expensive are large dogs at a minimum of $1500.00 ea.

Somehow that seems more than for a kid. ;D

What kind of food are they feeding that fish?

Good one, Arnold! I've never quite mastered bilocation myself, though it must be awfully handy. Perhaps you have, JRand?

Finished my viewing for the evening and am now relaxing. The morning is going to absolutely nutty - we've got to get a LOT of discs shipped in a very short period of time. However, everything is prepared - all forms filled out, packages and boxes ready. The big help, of course, is doing no more overseas dealers - that used to take up most of the time.

I've been spending a lot of quality time with my cardiologist. Ginny, I have been very impressed with your progress and look forward to continued reports of same. But did you have any inkling at all that you were at risk prior to your heart attack?

Thanks, Vixmom. I'll be sure and keep you all posted as well as trying to keep my blog up.

I think I'll do the early announcement for our new title this very evening at midnight.
-
Cilla - Thanks for that perspective. On TV there's often some verification of what informants say, but likely not in real life, i guess.

Oh sometimes there is verification, but I'm finding they don't even take fingerprints in many cases. In my last case their verification was in part a video of three men moving boxes into a storage area. My client said they were boxes and he didn't know what was in them. the snitches said it was drugs and he had seen them when they were put in the box earlier. Both sides can argue the video verifies their position. Real life is more like that. Two stories that fit the same physical evidence. You never really know what the truth is.
