I have to be at Toyland by noon today. My Mac man is coming to carry off my iMac. Before I go down there I need to talk to my colleague Curtis about the Toyland situation and to Billy Hicks, our pianist on the Herbert recordings. Billy has concerns about the rcordings, and Curtis has concerns about my leaving.

My Appalachian Christmas director DJ was my guest for the dress rehearsal last night, and we ran into a lot of mutual friends. Dan Callaway, who's been appearing in BK's Gardenia shows, just did DJ's production of  JACQUES BREL IS ALIVE AND WELL . . . in Florida. He's got a lovely voice with great high notes, which he gets to show off in the title song "Where's Charley?"

DR Jose, I think Bill told me there are 15 players in the show, everything at the Beaumont but the solo violin.

More coffee!

In other news...

I'm about to drop off a bag full of binders at the Equity office. They have a recycling/collection program for 3-binders, and since I found about 25 empty binders as I was packing up stuff, well...

And then I'll head back up to the apartment to clean and clear out the rest of my stuff, as well as close out my Time-Warner Cable/Internet/Phone account.

And then, hopefully, a little bit of a break before I head to work later this afternoon.

Speaking of Paul Williams, I had done two parodies of Paul Williams songs.  (The AIG AGAINST THE WORLD one actually got excerpted on CNN, and the Katy Perry-related one got written up in the Village Voice online by Michael Musto and as a result seemed to get about 1,000 extra views.)


AIG AGAINST THE WORLD - parody of YOU AND ME AGAINST THE WORLD

CASH FLOW CONNECTION - parody of RAINBOW CONNECTION (about the Katy Perry-Elmo "low-cut dress scandal" last fall)

I've been listening to my late friend Frank Patterson sing Irish songs, and I just had an unintentioned laugh.  Frank was singing "The Town I Loved So Well" and one of the lines is:
   There was music there
   In the Derry air

I thoght he sang:
   There was music there
   In the derriere

Changes the whole meaning!

This City is a mess today. I think St Patrick's Day in Manhattan is our Mardi Gras.  My bus ride home took over an hour because traffic between 42nd St and 57th Street was at a complete standstill. The "Irish" (how many actually are Irish?) in colorful slly green costumes and hats - where do they find this getup? - are out in full force amd blocking the streets and intersections, and I suspect many of them are already looped. I believe some of them were looped at 10 am this morning. The No 7 bus was primarily empty all the way uptown, so I felt no guilt for taking up two seats with all of the scores for BABES IN TOYLAND, magazines from 1903 and 1904, and a few books. Tomorrow, I will go in, pick up as many books as I can, and put my name in all the ones there that I cannot take.

I have some duplicates of books that I needed at the office and home, like the Joseph Kaye and Edward Waters biographies of Victor Herbert, and I'll leave them there with some books I don't care about getting back, but I will put my name in everything. I may have to go back on Saturday morning for a few more, but I would like to clear out all that I want  tomorrow.

I forced Craig to go buy jeans that fit.  It is bad enough his jeans are too big, worse when he goes through security at the airport and has to take his belt off. ;D

Yesterday I bought him two pairs of jeans, both the wrong size which really doesn't matter.  Now he has to exchange them & get something he likes. I'm so clever. :)

VINDICATION!!  The jerk who wrote me an email attacking me about where on earth did I get the idea I posted on the listserv talked to the guy I said told me about the situation (I'm being intentionally vague to avoid searches)  Anyway, he backed about 99% of what I said and even said he understood and respected what I was upset about 15 years ago. (yes this is all over something that happened 15 years ago).   Of course the jerk focused on the 1% that we differed, but he's even wrong about that , lol.  I feel vindicated

I'm downloading the last of the 102 songs. It looks like there will be two sets: 2-CD set of piano and cello-piano music and a 4-CD set of 102 songs by Victor Herbert.

I think we should do the songs in chronological order, from 1890 to the posthumous songs ending around 1940. Herbert died in 1924, but one of his most famous songs, "Indian Summer," was cobbled together by his publisher around 1934 from a piano solo written around 1906.

Tuesday ngiht I was watching my hunky friend Anderson Cooper.  His show starts at 7:00 p.m. on the West Coast.  At about five minutes to eight, Anderson reports this BREAKIING NEWS FLASH saying that the Japanese has just announced that all of the workers had left the nuclear plant.  Anderson is shocked.  Sunjay is horrified.  Jim Walsh says this could be the end.  Anderson says we will be back after this break.....................................  The show comes on again and it is now a rerun of the last hour of the program!  I was throwing everything I could think of at the TV screen.

Happy St. Patricks Day all!

Well, I made the cabbage I posted about but have to confess that while it was better then boiled cabbage, if I never had it again, I don't think I would miss it.

Sure and begorrah, DR Danise!

I guess everyone is out drinking green beer today.

Not me...I'm at work, trying to stay awake after only about two, count 'em TWO hours of sleep. :P I just couldn't get to sleep.  Okay, I did stay up later than usual, but still...only two hours.

AND I have rehearsal tonight.  We'll be dancing.  That'll keep me awake.

I made my corned beef and cabbage last weekend, but decided to go to a local Irish bar (it's not a pub) and have their version for lunch.  OMG it was terrible.  They had those little round canned potatoes and just heated them.  The corned beef was ok but the cabbage had no flavor.   When I finished the bar tender (I was drinking ice tea, it was noon afterall)  asked how it was.  I said "Mine's better" and 5 or 6 people burst out laughing. 


I need to put on my cheaters.  I thought that Cilla wrote that she went to a local Irish bar and had their venison for lunch.  I didn't think that sounded very Irish.

Do you make this stuff up to give us a good laugh? ;)

No, I swear!  I kept looking at that post trying to figure out why she would order venison at a Irish Pub.

Earlier, I spent almost all afternoon watching the classic horror film, making sure all the cues on our tapes corresponded to the film order (they did, perfectly) and writing cue titles and doing the edit road map - then I sent that to the mastering guy.  It was REALLY exhausting, but fun to see the movie again.

I may be wrong, but right now there doesn't seem to be anyone here but us chickens.  I am listening to the horror film music in order and I love this score large.  It's big, at times corny as all get out (and I think we all know how corny all get out is) and I think it's going to make a lot of cult film people very happy indeed.

Tumwater Video is a local video rental store.  It's its own store owned by local people, not a chain.  I just found out today that they're going out of business.  A friend told me that she's known for a couple of weeks.  They had Blu-ray discs on sale, $10 each or two for $16.  I bought two:  Star Wars: The Clone Wars (http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Clone-Blu-ray/dp/B001GQSY64/ref=sr_1_10?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1300426402&sr=1-10) (the movie, not the series) and The Day the Earth Stood Still (http://www.amazon.com/Earth-Stood-3-Disc-Special-Blu-ray/dp/B001SMC9IK/ref=sr_1_2?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1300426495&sr=1-2) (it contains both the remake and the original...I bought it for the original).
Title: Re: SLEEPING BEAUTY
Post by: George on March 17, 2011, 10:58:35 PM
There were only about a dozen Blu-ray titles left, and I had no interest in any of the other titles, so at $8 each, I figured why not?  They're both in very good condition.  "Clone Wars" has the digital copy disc, but it expired in November 2009.  The digital copy for "The Day the Earth Stood Still" doesn't expire until April 6, 2011, but it didn't have the disc.  Darn.
