Post by: elmore3003 on January 06, 2011, 04:34:33 AM: Good morning, all! Round Two of the final Victor Herbert recording sessions is today, with three singers, Ron Raines, Jeanne Lehman, whose doing half of her material today, and Marnie Breckenridge, who finishes up her round of recordings. Ron is recording three posthumous songs, one of them unpublished and based on the Cuban Serenade from Herbert's 1924 "Suite of Serenades," which was premiered by Paul Whiteman in his famous Aeolian Hall concert that also premiered Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue."

Yesterday went really well. Marnie and Jonathan sounded great, and everything went down to tape quickly. I'm hoping this good vibe continues all week. I spent too much time at the studio yesterday coughing and wheezing, so I got up earlier in hopes that taking the meds early would make my life at the sessions easier for everyone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Healthy Vibes To Our DR TCB! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

French Toast
Title: Re: SOLID SILVER PLATFORM SHOES
Post by: Dan (the Man) on January 06, 2011, 06:01:46 AM: TOD:

My normal breakfast is a bowl of Cheerios (sometimes with a sliced banana) and a half glass of orange juice.

But my favorite breakfast would be a Greek omlette with hash browns on the side.
Title: Re: SOLID SILVER PLATFORM SHOES
Post by: Laura on January 06, 2011, 06:04:19 AM: TOD: My favorite is Black Bear Restaurant's Shasta Scramble -- lots of veggies mixed in the scrambled eggs.

But mostly I have oatmeal with milk and fruit, because after all, "Food is medicine."

My cubicle is about 25 feet away from the office of the company's CEO. When he does teleconfrencing, he turns his phone speaker UP LOUD, never closes his office door and the voices carry throughout the area. It drives me crazy! I've got my earphones on listening to Narciso Yepes but the sound is still coming through...

Grrrrrr...

Yesterday's shoot went 13 hours -- and they didn't use us for the last eight, so we sat around like so much fish. That can wear you out. Tuesday's shoot was 15 or so hours (including lunch).

Title: Re: SOLID SILVER PLATFORM SHOES
Post by: Ron Pulliam on January 06, 2011, 07:50:10 AM: TOD:

My favorite breakfast ALWAYS includes grits! Grits with butter, salted and peppered.

Ideally, there will be some really tasty sausage or bacon that I can break up and mix with the grits.

Oh, yes...and a piece of toast with which to "push".
Title: Re: SOLID SILVER PLATFORM SHOES
Post by: Ron Pulliam on January 06, 2011, 07:53:19 AM: TOD Part II:

The only exception to my favorite breakfast requiring grits is when I have waffles.

Waffles, waffles, waffles, waffles, WAFFLES!

Pecan waffles with pecan syrup is my all-time favorite.

I also love any kind of waffles with maple syrup (genuine, not imitation).

And then there are strawberry waffles topped with strawberries and whipped cream!!!!

And there must be bacon on the side....and pots of coffee, too!!!!
Title: Re: SOLID SILVER PLATFORM SHOES
Post by: Ron Pulliam on January 06, 2011, 07:55:15 AM: Not TOD:

My least favorite breakfast is one I had to observe while eating my eggs, grits and bacon when I was a kid.

That was a breakfast in which my father scrambled his eggs with brains.

And then he praised them as he gulped them down.

Nearly put me off food for the day, that did.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on January 06, 2011, 07:57:02 AM: Have been browsing through time lately...mostly backward...into the mid-1950s.

Watched "An Affair to Remember" on TCM last night. I got really emotional over the fact that all the people involved were alive and well during my lifetime....but have all since passed on.

Post by: Ginny on January 06, 2011, 08:01:09 AM: Thursday morning greetings! It's Epiphany and you know what that means - the Wise Men have arrived at our nativity scene and I can start taking down Christmas decorations. I've already been out on the front porch to remove the lighted garlands and bows, because snow is predicted and I wanted to get those items inside before it starts.
Title: Re: SOLID SILVER PLATFORM SHOES
Post by: DakotaCelt on January 06, 2011, 08:09:03 AM: Good day one and all!

I think I am going to get of the apartment for a bit this afternoon and go to a coffee shop.
Title: Re: SOLID SILVER PLATFORM SHOES
Post by: DakotaCelt on January 06, 2011, 08:14:21 AM: TOD:

Chocolate Chip pancakes with a dollop of whip cream for eyes and Strawberries for a smile.....

My favorite restaurant breakfast was at a bistro in Stevens Point Wisconsin. I had the most wonderful, fluffy and delicious red pepper, bacon and spinach quiche with goda cheese. It was GOOD!

and the most cleverly served breakfast was the breakfast in a cup bake. it had a sausage pattie, scrambled eggs and potatoes wtih LOTS of melted cheese. It was good. The cup is similar to a large cappuccino cup you see in some coffee shops
Title: Re: SOLID SILVER PLATFORM SHOES
Post by: DakotaCelt on January 06, 2011, 08:16:55 AM: Wise move Ginny... There is nothing worse that taking down wet decorations

Question: do you have snow on the ground all winter or just parts of winter?
Title: Re: SOLID SILVER PLATFORM SHOES
Post by: DakotaCelt on January 06, 2011, 08:19:02 AM: The neat thing about the bistro I mentioned in the earlier post is taht they raise some of their own produce adn buy from local producers. Their menu varies due to availability of produce

DR DakotaCelt - having grown up in Michigan, I was used to snow first falling in early November and the ground remaining white until March or April. When I moved to SW Ohio, it took some time for me to get used to seeing green grass between snowstorms. All the snow we had in December has melted and been washed away by rain.
Title: Re: SOLID SILVER PLATFORM SHOES
Post by: Laura on January 06, 2011, 08:55:46 AM: You know what surprises me? That your grass is green under the snow. Our grass (bermuda) goes dormant in the winter. It surprises me that our grass is dead in the relative warmth while yours stays green.

(Ok. Some people here do plant winter lawns. I wonder if they would stay green under snow?)
Title: Re: SOLID SILVER PLATFORM SHOES
Post by: Ginny on January 06, 2011, 09:01:42 AM: DR Laura - I should have said "green-ish." It's not like springtime, but you can definitely see hints of green.

Next time it snows, get yourself an "outdoor" extension cord and a hair dryer...and investigate!

Favorite breakfast usually contains lots of fats and carbs....pancakes (any kind) with eggs over medium, sausage, bacon, hash browns.

Breakfast I usually have: oatmeal and maybe a toasted whole wheat biscuit with a dab of butter. Maybe some celery or a couple of apple slices, also.

(http://s11.allstarpics.net/images/orig/5/x/5x9mb9hr0237bmh5.jpg)

She debuted in films in 1928 and retired from acting in 1932 when she got married. When her husband died in the late 1950s she began working as an interior decorator, a job she retired from in 1995 at the age of 88.

She sure was purty!

Post by: bk on January 06, 2011, 10:30:18 AM: I love biscuits and gravy for breakfast, but have only had it a handful of times. I like classic bacon and eggs and home fries. I've never been much of a hash browns person. I occasionally like sausage but not often. I used to love ham and eggs but never eat that anymore. I'm very particular about pancakes, so I rarely have them save for Du-Par's, which I now only seem to do once or twice a year. French toast I've never cared about, but I do love the waffles at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles.

Post by: JoseSPiano on January 06, 2011, 12:32:14 PM: So far, so good. Some work: playing, coaching, singing. Some play: walking around The Ship, reading on deck (I'm already halfway through "The Metropolis Case", and now a few hours in port walking around trying to find some pretty and/or interesting things to take pictures of.

As much as I wish my coachings didn't have to start at 9:30 each morning, that has made for some long days, but in the good sense. -Especially since we dine during the second dinner seating at 8:30 each evening.

We're docked at St. Thomas today, then it's on to St. Lucia, Barbados and Dominica before we start the journey back to the Port of Brooklyn.

Luckily(?), since St. Thomas is a U.S. V.I., I have access to the web via AT&T's network. I'm not sure about the other ports.

Thanks again for all the well wishes and travel vibes. They seem to be working their magic.

I hope everyone is getting better, keeping busy, and smiling and laughing.

Until...

It's funny that you mention this. Until last week I knew very little about them. I'd never seen the show.

But last week I got sick and was up for quite a few hours in the middle of the night. And when of the channels I watch just switched to E!

And they have the Kardashians show on all through the night. It is so funny! I thought I would hate it (and I like reality tv). But it was very funny and I will definitely watch it again.

Post by: John G. on January 06, 2011, 01:25:25 PM: TOD: Take a large glass jar with a good lid. Fill with at least 1 dozen whole eggs (the free-range or no-cage kind where the yolks are more orange than yellow). Top with the shavings of one black truffle. Seal jar and let sit someplace cool for 1 week, so the aroma of the truffle can permeate the egg shell and into the yolks. After a week, crack the shells, whisk the eggs with a little heavy cream and a fine chop of some of the black truffle. Add a splash of black truffle oil for extra measure. Scramble the eggs until cooked to the doneness you like. Serve with Champagne, preferably an aged rose' sparkler.

Now that's good eats.

I know but weak is better than sick, trust me. The later I leave the more likely I am to cheat & have a little sugar. Today I left late and just finished eating blueberries, marionberries and Flax Plus Redberry Crunch cereal.

What we did, that was apparently not of interest to Varese, was to compensate for the problems and fix the dropouts and the result, to my ears, is that it sounds better than the LP presentation, which is simply a flat transfer of the LP as it originally sounded. Ours sounds fuller and more detailed - that was even astonishing to me.

One of the few remaining leading ladies from the days of the early talkies, Miriam Seegar, died last weekend at her home in Pasadena at the age of 103.

(http://s11.allstarpics.net/images/orig/5/x/5x9mb9hr0237bmh5.jpg)

She debuted in films in 1928 and retired from acting in 1932 when she got married. When her husband died in the late 1950s she began working as an interior decorator, a job she retired from in 1995 at the age of 88.

She sure was purty!

How well did you know her husband?

Just recieved and listened to CASINO ROYALE today. Holy Kritzerland,
Batman! What a listen! You fellas really did a number on this one - and
an utterly delightful number it is! I never thought this one would sound as
great as this cd, but here it is. I don't how James Nelson got it to sound this
stunning, but it's absolutely crystal clear without those annoying dropouts
and flutter that plagued the previous cd. I absolutely LOVE the resequencing
of the cues. Not to take away anything that Phil Ramone did for the LP, but
the new track order just makes more sense in narrative musical sense.
I really anticipated how the editing would segue from Big Cowboys and
Indians into the vocal end title, and it sounds perfect - like it should have
always been there. Anyway...Bruce, James....BRAVO!!!

That booklet is a real eye opener. Gorgeous, beautiful color layout.

PS. The Keystone Kops snippet made bust up.

We just got some great glimpses of niece/goddaughter Lauren during the sideline celebration of a Miami interception that was run back for a touchdown. She looked so happy!

It is so wonderful that she is having this opportunity!

It is, DR Vixmom, especially considering what she went through losing her father a year and a half ago. If ever a kid had reason to crash and burn, she certainly did. But, instead, she's thrown herself into her schooling and, this past semester, earned a higher GPA than Rob's. She gave him all kinds of grief about that when they were all here for our after-Christmas party.

This was posted on the Film Score Monthly messageboard:

Just recieved and listened to CASINO ROYALE today. Holy Kritzerland,
Batman! What a listen! You fellas really did a number on this one - and
an utterly delightful number it is! I never thought this one would sound as
great as this cd, but here it is. I don't how James Nelson got it to sound this
stunning, but it's absolutely crystal clear without those annoying dropouts
and flutter that plagued the previous cd. I absolutely LOVE the resequencing
of the cues. Not to take away anything that Phil Ramone did for the LP, but
the new track order just makes more sense in narrative musical sense.
I really anticipated how the editing would segue from Big Cowboys and
Indians into the vocal end title, and it sounds perfect - like it should have
always been there. Anyway...Bruce, James....BRAVO!!!

That booklet is a real eye opener. Gorgeous, beautiful color layout.

PS. The Keystone Kops snippet made bust up.

Den

Very nice!!

I remerb seeing this mvoe inteh drive in when it first came out

of course I was a twig of a sprig back then and Mom & Dad had the 3 of us kids in PJ's in the back of the station wagon

thanks - maybe I need snowplow vibes --- the mayor is still getting flack for the job that was doen - or not done inclearingthe roads after the last storm - and I hate to take the train since they seem to like to get stuck between stations for hours and hours with no heat, no lights, overflowing toliets.... last storm people were stuck fpr 12 - 18 hours

others were stranded at train stations and had to be rescued by the Red Cross

I don't know much of anything about Charleston (or any other part of the "low country") except that the food is great.

Check out the Huguenot church, though. It's old and beautiful and historic!

Title: Re: SOLID SILVER PLATFORM SHOES
Post by: Cillaliz on January 06, 2011, 10:41:49 PM: LOL, I knew Laura would be most interested. Let's just say I was the lawyer for the current defendant's co-defendant. We found some evidence the police missed. It all came out in the trial we had back in 1997. Anyway, our investigator died, so now the prosecution wants to use it against the guy who fled the country at the time. Without our investigator to call as a witness, they are calling me. Just foundational fact witness for physical evidence missed by the cops. It was more exciting to just say I got a subpoena.

Post by: Cillaliz on January 06, 2011, 10:43:57 PM: Didn't get the brief done tonight. Tomorrow was more aspirational than necessary, but we'll have to overnight on Monday now. I spent the evening learning the whole messy political history of Guatemala and trying to figure out how my client's family fits into it. It's an asylum case so I won't say more, but it's really quite interesting.
