MEGA HEALTH VIBES TO ALL THAT NEED THEM

TOD
I had follow everthing that BK did while at Varese Saranbande and was disappointed when he left. I need my fix of all the cds that he released. I read that he was starting a new label and I contacted him and he told me this site and voila! And although I wasn't here right from the start, I have been more or less (More than less.) since then too.
CONGRATS ON 11 YEARS!!!
Maybe you can once a week (Sundays??) you canlook back at what you have written over the years and comment after the fact about what you have written .i.e. predictions you have made or thing that have happened to you.

TOD:
I think I followed a link from the Kritzerland site after ordering my first CD there (which would have been Scent of Mystery).
BK: Hearty congratulations on your 11th Anniversary. I don't know how you find time to write the daily blog and do everything else!
-
Terrible dull, damp, cold weather today. For my trip to town on the train I think I'm going to have to wrap up for the first time since last winter.
-
Good morning, all, and happy, happy anniversary, HHW!
-
TOD: I discovered Bruce Kimmel through Varese Sarabande, when a friend gave me "A Broadway Christmas" for Christmas and I saw Larry Moore's name on there, too. I was soon hooked. And somehow Larry and I got electronically reconnected and he invited me to join the group. So, thanks, Larry. And thanks, all.
-
Tuesday morning greetings! I must have been really tired last night, because I forgot to log out of here and my other social networks and turn off my computer.
-
Richard and I are getting ready to go VOTE and out to breakfast.
-
TOD - I've known DR Elmore for almost 40 years and he had given me many of the BK recordings he'd worked on. In 2004, when I started going to NYC regularly on business he told me about this internet site where he spent a lot of time. After about a month of lurking, I jumped in to ID a photo that DR JRand had posted.
-
Happy Anniversary to MR BK and HHW!
I remember that DR GINNY - but I forget what the photo was.
-
Good news on the report DR JANE.
And non-travel vibes for DR CILLA LIZ - you deserve to stand still today.
As long as MR BK doesn't use DR JOSE's former choreographer, I think the show will get up on time.
-
Today is election day in Indiana.....a few things in my area.....which I expressed my opinion on earlier today. The big race is the Indianapolis Mayor's race which is out of my county of course.
We shall see.....I am hoping we keep the incumbent Mr Ballard, but Ms Kennedy has run a mean and spiteful campaign to get the office and has a big machine behind her, so we shall see.
-
DR JMK - he of the new furnace - directed me here to this site. He had asked my a trivia question which I worked on with him.....and then he said it originated here and suggested that I read and post.
This was on the old site.....and I have been entertained daily ever since.
-
Vibes for DR ELMORE.....who is sans inner web, it seems.
-
Happy Anniversary, BK!
-
I discovered this site after we met and started working together on HAIL ON THE CHIEF!
-
Yeah, whatever happened to the trivia contest? And the sparkling prize I won which never arrived? ;)

Excellent idea.
BK should do a 5 minute trailer with her in the role.
Perhaps it would garner some interest to do something larger.
-
BK himself invited me here, and I was here from Day 1, though I am not the Kauffman who spells his name incorrectly who posted on Day 1. :)
-
It took me a few days to post IIRC, as I am a shy, retiring sort.
-
Happy Anniversary!

I'm up, I'm up... And it's only 6:50am.... PST.

TOD: I found this site because I found Bruce. I happened into our favourtie bookstore, Mystery & Imagination (aka Bookfellows), to browse and he was giving a reading. I knew BK from his records and Cds already, many of which I owned. And the owner of the store, Malcolm, had actually introduced us once before when the bookstore had been in another location. Anyway, I enjoyed the reading and bought the books and BK and I chatted and he suggested I do one of his interviews on his site. The rest, as they say, is history.

PAGE TWO JET-LAGGED IN LOS ANGELES DANCE!!

The view from Hidalgo this morning (that's fog/mist down in the valley over the Willamette River):
-
WOW....DR JMK - that CD is at Amazon for less than $9....NEW.
-
So I bought it.

As for the Topic of the Day...
I lurked for a while, and then on September 9, 2002, I posted the following post on the original "brown board". It turned out to be a "Roll Call" day, so...
"
Well, this will be my first time posting here, so I guess I officially become a lurker now - an upgrade(?) from just a reader. ;-)
My name is Jose C. Simbulan. I am fortunate enough to make my living as a professional musician - pianist/keyboard player/musical director/conductor. I most recently had the honor of playing rehearsals for the Kennedy Center's Sondheim Celebration productions of SWEENEY TODD and A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC. Upcoming projects include EVITA for a local university, CARMEN JONES at the Kennedy Center, and SOUTH PACIFIC at Arena Stage
I work locally (D.C. and Richmond) and regionally - pick a region, any region. One of my specialties is playing auditions - I LOVE to play auditions. Each Spring and Fall I get to indulge that pleasure by playing for the Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC) auditions, and the Unified Professional Theatre Auditions (UPTA). There's nothing like playing for 200-300 in one day! -Really, I do like to do this. *I'll be in Charlotte this weekend for the Fall SETCs.
For all you singers out there: Train your pianists!
For all you pianists our there: Train your singers!
I must take this chance to thank BK for all his work on those UNSUNG MUSICALS and LOST IN BOSTON albums. Wonderful material, and they've provided many an opportunity for me to work on my transcription skills as singers have requested material from those albums for auditions, cabarets, etc. *I was always hoping some publishing deal could be worked out in conjunction with those albums... ah, well...
It has been a joy reading everyone's posts - not just today, but for the past couple of months - ever since I first decided to head on over to this site. Hopefully, I'll find myself fully in the loop in no time!
Keep up the great work!
*Oh, and how does one go about bolding and italicizing within the posts?"
-
...And now I'm working with bk on "LOST AND UNSUNG". A true Full Circle moment!
-
If any other DRs want to go back to my first day on HHW:
http://www.haineshisway.com/archives/00000304.html
-
Happy Anniversary to us all!
And God bless us every one!
-
And now I think I'm going to try to catch another hour or two of sleep.
Laters...
-
I am not on that day....so I must have come after 2002.
Yes, October 22, 2003.
-
Thanks DR TCB.....I don't remember his name either.
-
Good morning, all! I am on DJ's laptop and moving cautiously while I figure out this keyboard and cursor. I think I want one now, so perhaps DR Jose and I will look into this when he returns.
Last night we cast the two children's roles and we got great kids, Jarod,who's around 12, and Broderick, an adorable little girl around 9.
I suspect I will spend a bit of time with them today teaching them music.
Following that, our house had a party for the cast and I got to bed around 10:30.
Hopefully, more to follow!Happy Anniversary, BK! I found HHW in 2003 because Liz Callaway had told me that BK had started a site. I'm happy that I'm here You've seen me through a lot of good and bad times.
-
Time to go to the theatre!

Sounds like a rewarding and potentially fun day today. Teaching kids who want to learn music is great. Hope it works out that way.

Ugh. Property taxes (on two, count 'em, two, properties) are paid for another year.

WOW....DR JMK - that CD is at Amazon for less than $9....NEW.
Are you talking about the Riddle CD? I'm listening to it as I type.
-
A question for all you Percy Faith fans: He did an album of songs from "Do I Hear a Waltz?" (my z just stuck and it came out "Do I Hear a Walt?" which was a Disney musical, right?). Anyway, was that album ever released on CD? I remember really enjoying that one.

Percy is one of the few artists of the easy listening era (yes, I hate that term, too) whose entire oeuvre has been released on CD.
-
BK used to consider himself a Percy Faith fan until he saw my wall of Faith CDs, which he pronounced excessive. :)
-
I could have answered my own question by googling it, which I did. It's on CD married with a "Subways Are for Sleeping" recording. I may have to get that one. "Be a Santa" and "Moon in My Window" on the same disc.
-
TOD: My first post to Bruce's original site was on 03/25/02, the day after the Oscars. Bruce had found me embattled with a rec.music.movies Nazi who didn't like anyone posting thoughts with which he didn't agree. Bruce not only sided with me, but invited me to join him at HainesHisWay.com.
My first post (thank you, Jose, for the inspiration)(and apologies to anyone it, yet again, offends):
Okay, first things first:
Tom Cruise -- I don't believe for a second that he and Nicole are still "friends." I DO believe he used all his clout to get that spot on the Oscar show in a lame attempt to upstage Nicole. There was NO value in anything he had to say....who cares about his travels anyway?
Second...Tom Cruise. He does have two kids. Two that were ADOPTED. The Cruise penis did not enter a vagina and procreate.
Third...please! Rosie O'Donnell's instincts are STRONGER than Tom's toothy denials. She doesn't adore him because he's straight. Anyone else sick to DEATH of his smile -- the Cruise grin reminds me sometimes of a smirking skull.
Next...
What in hell could Cameron Diaz have been thinking when she left her house with her hair looking worse than it did when she applied the "Something About Mary" "gel" to it?
Did she pay some sicko hairdresser to do THAT to her hair? Revoke that queen's license! Quick!
Woody Allen WAS the class act of last night's show -- no question about it.
Next was Sidney Poitier -- much eloquence and sincerity.
Robert Redford was pretty darned spiffy, too (and I did not detect one single clue that he's ever had any face work done -- and he DESPERATELY needs some...he'd look SO much better).
Denzel was the class that Halle should have been. Too much "race" talk last night. I've never thought any of it was about race, when it came to acting nominations/awards. Overlook Spike Lee and you're a racist. Overlook Bas Luhrmann and, "Oh, well..."
When the performances are good enough, they get nominated. When the buzz is at its hottest, that's when the votes get cast...whether you're black, white, Australian, English or whatever else.
Dump the entire trend of backless-to-the-butt gowns -- not ONE of the actresses wearing them looked good in them. As one announcer said about Sharon Stone, "She showed us her 'junk in the trunk' and it wasn't very pretty."

I was not a Percy Faith fan until I dropped 10 cents on that Do I Hear a Waltz? album. It's still a little too smooth for me in large doses, but I do see why people like his music.
-
Great first post, Ron Pulliam.
-
Gosh! I remember all that as if it were....oh....I dunno....yesterday?

I have a CPR class this morning.
Tomorrow morning, I see the dental surgeon who performed the sinus lift I had two weeks ago.
Thursday morning, I see my dentist and we start working on replacing two crowns.
Sigh.

One of the things that I love about Percy, and which Gene Lees hipped me to, was Percy's incredible use of counter-melodies, which he interpolates into virtually all of his arrangements. Percy basically recomposes a song each time.

Happy Anniversary to MR BK and HHW!
I remember that DR GINNY - but I forget what the photo was.

A little disappointed that the Bronislau Kaper CD I bought turns out to be the maestro at the piano, not with an orchestra. He's not the world's most facile pianist. :)

In the late 1990's, I started my cast recording/theatre related CD collection (or call it what you will) and I kept purchasing these CD's with a brown spine and produced by this guy named Bruce Kimmel. I was an avid chat-ter on IRC and I was internet friends with Mark Bakalor who somehow got himself involved with this same Bruce Kimmel. I kept on eye on what Bruce was doing and was excited when he started the "other" label, and then he disappeared. I don't remember how I found this site, but I've been here on and off since 2002. Happy Anniversary.
-

If you paid more than $5 for it, you were gypped.
I urge you to check out the FSM library of available titles...that label has issued TONS of Kaper material from the MGM vaults.

Yes, I have tons of FSM stuff, but I was on a Mutiny on the Bounty kick last week LOL. I only paid 99 cents, so I guess I did OK.

I must say Elmer Bernstein's arrangment of Follow Me from MOTB is quite outre, featuring an Yma Sumac-esque vocalist declaiming "Folllllllooooowwww meeeeeee" in the highest audible registers of a soprano voice. ;)

Dental Vibes, Ron Pulliam.
I've got a friend who's getting a dental implant this morning. I hope it's not contagious.
-
And... I think I'm ready to head out and about for a bit.
Laters...
-
It is (dental contagious that is) since I'm going right from the office to the Dentist chair this late afternoon (6pm). I should have 1 or perhaps 2 more visits before I'm finished. He has to do prep work for the crown today and that may take two sessions. If it only takes one then he can take the impression and send the crown out to be made and then I just need have it installed.
-
Dental vibes for our HHW Denizens.
-
Yes DR JMK - the Nelson Riddle Route 66 CD - with the Lucy Show track.
-
Nice review DR JMK - but I just can't see purchasing the movie again!!!
-
Yes, a very good review by JMK and perhaps the only online review to really state the problems clearly and concisely and then say, also clearly and concisely, that most of it looks great, especially the color. I tried in all my posts over the last few weeks to keep reminding people of that, as did Mr. Harris.
JMK - one typo in the beginning of one of the paragraphs - you used "made" for "may".
-
I'm up after a good night's sleep and will jog in ten minutes.
-
I just went for a nice walk on this beautiful sunny Arizona day. This is what we've been waiting for!

TOD:
I was directed to this here sight by DR JRand and former DR DenMother (wait, is that right?)...I remembered BK from his appearances long ago on Laverne and Shirley, but was unaware of all his other accomplishments...but know I know...and he continues to accomplish more and more!
-
You know what? I will NOT speak with "Customer Service" people who cannot speak English. I just hung up twice with Amazon. Will not, not, not do it. Period.
-
If that makes me a xenophobe, so be it.
-
Years ago I was at Portland's "big" shul for Yom Kippur and we were reading through the litany of sins we all collectively commit, which include xenophobia. Suddenly this extremely elderly woman next to me shouted out (in a great New York accent), "What's xenophobia?" :)

And non-travel vibes for DR CILLA LIZ - you deserve to stand still today.

The center of London is packed with people looking at the Christmas decorations. Met my old friend Steve at the Captain's Cabin where I had a roast beef meal washed down with 5 pints of beer. The beer had absolutely nothing to do with my catching the wrong train home and having to change and catch a train back and then having to wait on the staiton where I am now, waiting for the right train!

My friend, Sharry, and I were in rehearsals for HELLO, DOLLY!. She said that she had always wanted to track down an address for Jerry Herman so that she could write him a fan letter. I said that I would try to find an address on the Internet. When I started searching for Mr. Herman, I ended up finding all these sites for Guy Haines. I started reading HHW, and I was hooked.

VIBES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
It is (dental contagious that is) since I'm going right from the office to the Dentist chair this late afternoon (6pm). I should have 1 or perhaps 2 more visits before I'm finished. He has to do prep work for the crown today and that may take two sessions. If it only takes one then he can take the impression and send the crown out to be made and then I just need have it installed.
GOOD DENTAL VIBES!!!

I can't find my actual very first post, but it was in January of 2005.
At the top of a page (page 4, I believe) on January 16, 2005, BK welcomed you as a lurker and invited you to join in when you felt like doing so.
Several posts later, your first post appeared:

Thanks for the welcome. I'll probably just lurk for awhile but will no doubt join in soon!
(To find this, go to HHW Community Forums. Scroll down to the Archives section. January 2005 is under Archive 2).

Thank you dr'S Jrand & TCB.

Dental vibes for those who need them!

Happy Anniversary to BK and everyone else!

TOD: I lurked as far back as 2005 and finally joined the party in 2009.
-
Wow, Kevin! I'm so glad you finally joined in!
-
Thanks, Laura!

Ratner's out as Oscar producer after his gaffes last week. Since he brought Eddie Murphy on board, Murphy may be next.

While I'm trying not to complain that we have completely lost heat, until Friday or more likely Monday, my friend who is still suffering from the effects of Irene finally has hot water after 74 days without. She still doesn't have heat.
-
Vibes to stay warm, Jane! And for your friend to get back to normal.
-
Thank you Laura. It seems we will be replacing the heater & the new one won't arrive until Friday. Depending on the arrival time they might not put it in until Monday. The heater guy told Keith to shut the power off to the non-working heater system only it also shut off the heater in our bedroom. I really get cold at night. Craig doesn't care after not have heat or hot water in Romania which has winters like the mid-west & east coast do.

MBarnum, please sit down and take a deep breath before you read this:
CBS is developing a remake of THE RIFLEMAN.

Sherlock is a strange dog, because I want him on top of me he will probably sleep on the floor. I do have a heating pad. I used to have two & one broke. Keith pulled some muscles in his shoulder & chest & has been in a good amount of pain. Last night he needed my heating pad. I told him he has to share it with me tonight. Of course I will only use it briefly until we go to sleep & then take it back.

We are also fans. I don't think this makes me happy.

Here is my very first post on HHW:
Hello All,
I know it's late in the evening (do I get a prize for being the last post of the evening?), but this is my very first posting on this website: I am a chronic lurker and parenthetical user (I'm getting professional help). I would like to put in my two cents about the male and female non-theatrical singers...for no other reason than just because. I have been in love with the five singers of The Manhattan Transfer. Tim Hauser, Alan Paul, Janis Siegel (my favorite of the bunch), Laurel Masse (original member, left the group in 1979) and Cheryl Bentyne (in the group since 1979). Individually they each have a wonderful sense of musicianship and style, but put them together and watch out! Incredible singing. That's my two cents.
The CDs that I've been listening to lately: Elaine Stritch At Liberty (love it - listened to it twice in one day) and Thoroughly Modern Millie (like it - twice in one week).
Well, until the next time.
PS. I would like to personally thank Mr. Kimmel (and/or Mr. Bakalor) for knowing how to correctly spell "a lot," (or for at least knowing how to use a spellchecker). A website with which Mr. Kimmel is no longer affiliated, no longer spells it correctly and even the incorrect spellings aren't consistent. I've seen "allot" and "alot" a lot.

And now, it's time to go home.
Until later.

When I was on my LOST HORIZON kick, which preceded my MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY kick, but came after my EDMUNDO ROS kick, I ordered a bunch of CDs/LPs that had cover versions of the LH tunes on them. I just got a UK import by something called the Film Score Orchestra. There are no credits whatsoever on the CD or insert and it troubles me greatly that I know without a doubt that the arrangements are by JOHNNY GREGORY, whose kick I was on last year. :)
-
Here's the skivvy on THE RIFLEMAN:
The Eye is developing a redo of the Western drama, with Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier penning the script and exec producing for CBS TV Studios. Chris Columbus, who has a development deal with CBS TV Studios, is attached to direct and exec producer. Carol Mendelsohn and Julie Weitz are also exec producing.
The original half-hour drama ran on CBS from 1958-1963. It starred Chuck Connors as a skilled gunman and widowed Civil War hero who moves to uncharted New Mexico territory to raise his young son and gets recruited by the sheriff to help protect the unruly town.
The original series was created by Jules Levy, Arthur Gardner and Arnold Laven. Robert Levy, Steven Gardner and Arthur Gardner are exec producing the remake.
Deal for the remake was orchestrated by WME and attorney Dan Black of Greenberg Traurig.
-
Speaking of LOST HORIZON, the remastered 5.1 soundtrack is evidently now available on the MOD. I ordered a replacement from Amazon today.

Who can spot the error in that VARIETY article about THE RIFLEMAN? I thought something was off, and it seems I am correct.

Is there something you aren't telling us?

Do you have a down comforter? I have mine under a quilt and it's really warm and toasty
-
OK. I"m feeling more rested, but really need to get a good night's sleep tonight so I can get back in the swing of things tomorrow. Night all

Back from a fun rehearsal, about which more later. Poor Jose is under a mountain of hard to read music, some of which has now had keys changed, so he's got his work cut out for him - but he has the patience of a saint and I'm in very good hands. I actually blocked six numbers tonight, so we got a little ahead of the game.
-
Thankfully I'd been alerted to the flooding problem and other than doing the four-mile jog this morning, stayed home until lunch - I went to Jerry's but always go in the street that runs in back of it, so no Ventura Blvd. problems. I only got one package today, so hopefully more tomorrow. Eating some snacks from Gelson's.
-
Believe me, Melody would love to play Adriana Hofstetter and we've spoken about it many times. In a year, who knows?
-
Good Evening!
Would someone get this mountain off of me?
::)

Um... That should be "Saint" with a capital "S".
;D
-
Otherwise...
It was a good rehearsal, and I just need to spend a few hours tomorrow getting my book in order. -At least the first version of it. Tonight was about building a sense of trust and security with the inexperienced singers in the cast. And, I believe, bk and I were successful in that regard.
-
In other news...
I called the hospital where my mother is staying(?) to see if I could talk to her doctor or nurse. After being transferred a few times, they connected me with her main attending nurse. When I asked her about the specifics about my mom's condition, she replied, "Well, she's right here next to me. Why don't I give the phone to her."
-Insert "sad trombone" sound here. ::)
In any case, I asked my mom a few more questions, and, she gave me a bit more information. I also found out that she had talked to my brother, Jay, earlier in the day, and she also spoke to Jay's new wife, Christy. Christy is a nurse. So...
My mom is on the mend, and she should be allowed to go home in another day or two. Thankfully, my father is now in ultra-protective/preventative mode, and he's been doing what I did a few years ago after my mom had her heart surgery: getting rid of all of the bad "stuff" in their cupboard and refrigerator at home. Additionally, he's going to try to get my mom out of her night owl mode. No more late night TV, no more going to bed at 3:00am. I wish him well. ;)
-
And in other news...
It was a beautiful day in Los Angeles. A beautiful Fall day in Los Angeles.
When I headed out earlier, I took the Red Line down to Pershing Square, and just walked around for a couple of hours. I sampled two coffee places, checked out some possible future dining destinations, and wandered around the grounds of the Disney Concert Hall. As it turned out, the Los Angeles Philharmonic had just started their "Bench" seat sale for some of their upcoming concerts. The Bench seats are the ones on stage, behind the orchestra. And when they go on sale, they're only $18 a piece. Quite a great bargain. So, I picked up some tickets to two of their upcoming concerts. :)

Good morning, all! I am on DJ's laptop and moving cautiously while I figure out this keyboard and cursor. I think I want one now, so perhaps DR Jose and I will look into this when he returns.
...
MacBook? Richard and I love ours.
I would recommend a MacBook for DR Elmore too. -Especially since he already has a Mac at home.

In the late 1990's, I started my cast recording/theatre related CD collection (or call it what you will) and I kept purchasing these CD's with a brown spine and produced by this guy named Bruce Kimmel. I was an avid chat-ter on IRC and I was internet friends with Mark Bakalor who somehow got himself involved with this same Bruce Kimmel. I kept on eye on what Bruce was doing and was excited when he started the "other" label, and then he disappeared. I don't remember how I found this site, but I've been here on and off since 2002. Happy Anniversary.
Brown? I thought they were maroon or a very dark burgundy. ;)

So, how does Gloria Allred seem to be with ALL the women accusing men of things?
I've always wondered about that too. And if she really takes on a bunch of those cases pro bono. I think. Does she have a staff of people who monitor newspaper clippings and Google alerts?
I've also always wondered if she gets some sort of kickback from the designer of the business suits she wears. Sort of like a product placement thing. ???
-
Or something like that.

The center of London is packed with people looking at the Christmas decorations. Met my old friend Steve at the Captain's Cabin where I had a roast beef meal washed down with 5 pints of beer. The beer had absolutely nothing to do with my catching the wrong train home and having to change and catch a train back and then having to wait on the staiton where I am now, waiting for the right train!
DR Doug R - So.... Christmas decorations drive you to drink?

You should have told me that you wrote it JMK, before I read it.
A-HA! So you do read his posts, DR TCB!

MBarnum, please sit down and take a deep breath before you read this:

Does this mean they will be "reviving" the original cast?
;D

Not I.

And now...
I need to organize a few things for tomorrow before going to bed and getting some sleep.
Goodnight.

Tomorrow, I'm ushering for both the matinee and the evening performances of the national tour of SPAMALOT that's coming to the Washington Center for the Performing Arts! :D I'm taking the day off so I can sleep in but hope that I don't have coughing fits during the shows because of my cold. :-\
