Well, you've read the notes, the notes were simple as cake and a piece of pie, and now it is time for you to post until the simple cows come home.

Good morning, all! I did not sleep well last night, and I blame it on the recording anxiety today. It's a full day of the beautiful Miss Rebecca Luker and, at 3:30, six talented gentlemen to sing backup with her on "When the Right One Comes Along." She also records, among others, two of Herbert's biggest hits, "Kiss Me Again" and "Indian Summer," which is a posthumous song cobbled together from a piano solo by Herbert.

Beyond that, I'm waiting for some funds to arrive to pay for the Ohio trip and thinking about next week's work schedule: I have to see my barber, arrange a Fed Ex pickup for these cartons, schedule some editing sessions with Mr Skip Kennon, see a couple of things and get out of town.

 My fave 1970s soundtrack has t be the first STAR WARS; I cannot recall any film where the music so grabbed my attention from the first notes.

STAVISKY
THE STING

Odd Thing One:  As many times as I've listened to the STAVISKY soundtrack, I've never seen the film.

Odd Thing Two:  The Joplin ragtime music used for THE STING is wrong for the period.  Every time I watch the movie, there's a momentary shock when I'm reminded that it takes place in the 30s.  Still, it works exceedingly well...

It's about time to head uptown to the Academy. I've packed my lunch, recharged my cell phone, updated the contact sheet, and collected the music for today and tomorrow.

DR Jose, our producer, who's excellent but a bit too intense at times, has put her foot down about no visitors to the session. I'm hoping we'll begin recording the men at 3:30, but I have no idea how long the session will take. I'm estimating 45 minutes.

I've been E&T for the past week, so I only just heard about Michelle. *Weeping softly.* We've lost too many wonderful people to this horrible disease...

"Toonfull" was the first Varese Sarabande album I ever bought - within 2 years my cassette/CD rack was a mass of maroon. Her renditions of "Heigh-ho," "Disneyland," "Waiting for Life to Begin," and "What Do I Do Now" are on heavy rotation in my mental soundtrack.

I think your segment is more than a little - you're the Frank Rich to my Stephen Sondheim (as if).  You're safe if you cover lots of topics in the book, the record producing stuff, the other books, the site, and whatever else comes to mind.  At the LACC chat, the guy didn't even know he was going to ask questions, but his questions were simple and direct and I just tend to go off on tangents and yak about this and that.

TOD: "New York, New York." I still listening to that soundtrack time and again. Love George Auld's sax solos. Just amazing.

And a guilty indulgence: "At Long Last Love." Watching the movie may not be pleasant, but all those Cole Porter songs. I even like Cybill's version of "I Get a Kick Out of You."

Are you able to start it in Safe Mode? -Hold down the Shift Key right after powering on.  It will take a while for the computer to boot up in Safe Mode, but it should boot up.  You could also try "Single-User" mode.

Fantastic day today! Ms Luker is amazing; we began at 10:30 and we finished her first three songs by noon, so we were already 30 minutes ahead of schedule. We broke for lunch, and then finished her second three songs by 2:30, with an hour before the men arrived. Our producer went off to the Hispanic Museum to see the Goya, her assistant went for coffee, and Rebecca, William Hicks and I decided to tour the Trinity Church Cemetery across the street from the Academy.

We ran into a friend of Rebecca's and Billy's so, while they talked to him, I kept my eyes on the Academy garage entrance in case any men arrived early. Sure enough, around 3 our DR DAW showed up, so while Rebecca and Billy toured the cemetery, I caught up with our former DR and gave him everyone's regards, blessings, and good wishes. At 3:15 DR Jason arrived, and I gave him the same, and by 3:30 we had our ensemble of gentlemen, they had their tax forms filled out and by 4:10 we had finished the recording. The guys sounded great with Rebecca, and I send my gratitude and love to all of them for being prepared and so easy to work with.

Tomorrow morning, we have two numbers with Zak and a ladies ensemble of five wonderful ladies. He's all set and excited to be doing numbers with our "Follies" girls tomorrow, even threatening to show up in top hat and tails.  No, DR TCB, he won't be naked.

My fave 1970s soundtrack has t be the first STAR WARS; I cannot recall any film where the music so grabbed my attention from the first notes.

Ditto!  It was probably the first movie soundtrack that I bought.  I also really liked Close Encounter of the 3rd Kind and Superman...notice a trend here?

And a guilty indulgence: "At Long Last Love." Watching the movie may not be pleasant, but all those Cole Porter songs. I even like Cybill's version of "I Get a Kick Out of You."

I made a CD of the album and even added a couple of songs that were from the TV broadcast ("Down In the Depths" by Madeline Kahn and "Tomorrow" by Duilio Del Prete) but not on the album. :)

The voice of the Seattle Mariners since their inception in 1977, Dave Niehaus, died yesterday.  Fortunately he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown a few years ago, so he got to know how much he was loved by baseball fans everywhere.

It is nice he made it to the Hall of Fame while still alive.

Fantastic day today! Ms Luker is amazing; we began at 10:30 and we finished her first three songs by noon, so we were already 30 minutes ahead of schedule. We broke for lunch, and then finished her second three songs by 2:30, with an hour before the men arrived. Our producer went off to the Hispanic Museum to see the Goya, her assistant went for coffee, and Rebecca, William Hicks and I decided to tour the Trinity Church Cemetery across the street from the Academy.

We ran into a friend of Rebecca's and Billy's so, while they talked to him, I kept my eyes on the Academy garage entrance in case any men arrived early. Sure enough, around 3 our DR DAW showed up, so while Rebecca and Billy toured the cemetery, I caught up with our former DR and gave him everyone's regards, blessings, and good wishes. At 3:15 DR Jason arrived, and I gave him the same, and by 3:30 we had our ensemble of gentlemen, they had their tax forms filled out and by 4:10 we had finished the recording.

Jennifer, HERE (http://www.spam.com/) is the official Hormel SPAM website and THIS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_(food)) is the Wikipedia site.

My niece is vegan and she, like Sandra, would starve before eating any kind of meat...especially something like SPAM.

Cunard is, of course, the company that sails the Queen Victoria, the Quees Mary 2, and the newest ship. the Queen Elizabeth.

Cunard used to have a different name, The White Star Line; the same company that owned the Titanic.

Good morning. I am sick; apparently I let my guard down so now I have the flu. And my computer is sick, too. There's apparently not enough room on the start-up disc for it to boot up. I had no warning other than Safari stopping work yesterday. Now I can't even get to the desktop to delete stuff. Argh. So I'll be making a trip to the Mac Genius Bar. :-(

~~~~~VIBES~~~AND~~~VIBES~~~~~

DR edisaurus - Do you have your OS X discs? You can start off from the DVD-ROMS. -And you may just need to borrow or buy an external hard-drive. -Even without enough room, it should still start up.

Are you able to start it in Safe Mode? -Hold down the Shift Key right after powering on.  It will take a while for the computer to boot up in Safe Mode, but it should boot up.  You could also try "Single-User" mode.

HERE (http://macs.about.com/od/macoperatingsystems/qt/osxstartupkeys.htm) is a breakdown of the various Start Up options:

Thanks for all the vibes!

I was only able to boot it up in safe mode once. Support recommended to restart it immediately, and after that, I could never get it to boot up in safe mode.

The Mac genius was able to boot it back up from his external drive and ran disk repair. There were some corrupt files, and he ran disc warrior (I had an old copy of that) and it seemed to fix things. Although it said the startup disc was full, there really was plenty of room. So I'll just keep backing up and keep an eye on it.

Thanks for all your advice; I'm going to save it for future reference!

Favorite 70's Soundtracks...some are not full scores, more of a selection of songs that served as the soundtrack:

The Rievers-John Williams
Cold Turkey-Randy Newman
Son of Dracula-Harry Nilsson
Amacord-Nino Rota
Harold and Maude-Cat Stevens
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Start The Revolution Without Me-John Addison


I did John Williams' Oscar campaign for THE RIEVERS

He should have won that one.  With all due respect to Mr. Bacharach, John's original score was some much better and richer than the one from BUTCH CASSIDY.

John Williams was robbed. He should have one! This was the first soundtrack that wasn't a musical that I ever remember buying.

I need a mattress and box springs for that twin bed frame in the guest room, and I need to replace that mattress on my full sized bed. I am told I need something much firmer and then I might sleep better. When I slept on the floor last weekend I slept very, very well!

After my shopping trip, in which I bought a coup-le of things at the Teen Challenge Thrift Store and Borders Books I stopped in at Star of India, at lunch, and chatted up the waiter, Billa, and the owner, Bains. Hadn't seen Bains in several months and he had wondered whatever became of me. I told Billa to friend me on Facebook.

Then I went over to Bains' new mini-market that just opened yesterday (Bains owns several markets around town) and saw his (gorgeous) brother Jassi there. It is always very nice to see Jassi, and we chatted a bit.

Today I met my parents in Sioux Falls and went shopping at the mall, had a great lunch at Red Lobster and then went to Sam's Club.  I did find a great 3 cd Christmas set at Sams.  The first is Johnny Mercer doing Santa Claus is Coming to Town.   I don't remember the name of the set.  I can tell you later...

What a crazy day - I've been behind the entire day, but got so much accomplished it's just amazing.  I began with doing an edit road map for our new release - that took quite a while, and then I lucked out and got the cue sheet and all those titles matched up perfectly with the cue numbers, so that was great.  I sent that off, then had a fun lunch with an old friend.  After that, I came right home and went to do some banking and pick up mail only to find the banks and mail were not happening today.  Then I sent the track titles to my designer, then I began the liner notes and actually got them finished and sent.  Which means, if the mastering guy can get CD 1 done by Sunday, we can, shockingly, announce on Monday morning.

I think I know what's going on with my cable.  My neighbor disconnected the cable lines from his house.  He wasn't supposed to be connected , but I wonder if it didn't effect the signal in some way or another.
Title: Re: SIMPLE AS PIE
Post by: Cillaliz on November 11, 2010, 05:10:50 PM
My problems started about the time he started working on his house. I'm going to ask the cable guy if that makes a difference.  It's all about signal strength and interferrence, I can't imagine that the lines just laying on the ground but still connected to the main pole isn't having some impact

Earlier today, I "immersed" myself in The Forty-Part Motet (http://new.lincolncenter.org/live/index.php/white-light-2010-the-forty-part-motet).  It's an Audio-Art installation at Jazz at Lincoln Center. 40 voices via 40 speakers. Pretty amazing.

The pharmacy tech at my drug store is supposed  to be sailing on Carnival's cruise ship, Splendor, in February.  It is her sister's wedding, followed by a seven day Mexico cruise.

Well... It turns out I know someone who was on that cruise ship.  Strangely(?) enough, a few days before she set sail, she started to feel that she should not go on the cruise.  She wasn't feeling nervous about sailing, she just started feeling that she shouldn't go.  Well... :-\

Fantastic day today! Ms Luker is amazing; we began at 10:30 and we finished her first three songs by noon, so we were already 30 minutes ahead of schedule. We broke for lunch, and then finished her second three songs by 2:30, with an hour before the men arrived. Our producer went off to the Hispanic Museum to see the Goya, her assistant went for coffee, and Rebecca, William Hicks and I decided to tour the Trinity Church Cemetery across the street from the Academy.

We ran into a friend of Rebecca's and Billy's so, while they talked to him, I kept my eyes on the Academy garage entrance in case any men arrived early. Sure enough, around 3 our DR DAW showed up, so while Rebecca and Billy toured the cemetery, I caught up with our former DR and gave him everyone's regards, blessings, and good wishes. At 3:15 DR Jason arrived, and I gave him the same, and by 3:30 we had our ensemble of gentlemen, they had their tax forms filled out and by 4:10 we had finished the recording. The guys sounded great with Rebecca, and I send my gratitude and love to all of them for being prepared and so easy to work with.

Tomorrow morning, we have two numbers with Zak and a ladies ensemble of five wonderful ladies. He's all set and excited to be doing numbers with our "Follies" girls tomorrow, even threatening to show up in top hat and tails.  No, DR TCB, he won't be naked.

Great news, DR elmore!

-I was able to catch up briefly with Chris and DAW on the corner of 155th & Broadway on their way out of the recording session. And then Jason and I went to Dinosaur BBQ (http://dinosaurbbq.com/) for some more catching up - as well as some deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes. :)

DR Cillaliz, whenever you think you're having a bad day think of the people on that adrift Carnival cruise ship!

LOL, you're not the first person to say that.   Sometimes when I'm having a bad day I go visit a client in jail.  it tends to give me perspective

And I hope the people on the Carnival cruise thought about the people on the Titanic cruise.

Finished with my viewing, and did a little spot checking of the movie we're releasing the soundtrack to - everything is exactly as it should be in terms of cues - we have it all.  The only thing we're not using the way it's used in the film are some violin stabs - those were laid over existing cues a couple of times in post production and it wouldn't sound good away from the film.
