Good morning, all!

DRs, I could use some vibes today; this is the meeting about recording DEAREST ENEMY. i think it will go well, but vibes are always useful in case someone askips us. O slpt very poorly last night, and I was awake and ready for the meeting (which is at 10am)  at 5:45. I've washed up, had some coffee, and I will very shortly buckle down with some work. I've got to assemble the newest scores for DEAREST ENWMY and get some more work accomplished on the full score of the "wardrobe scene" from ROBERTA.

After the meeting, I will return here, hopefully catch a nap before I go out tonight to the dress rehearsal of Schubert's opera Die Verschworenen, based on Aristophanes Lysistrata, at Manhattan School of Music.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Good Tuesday Vibes for Everyone! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Morning all.

DR TCB your friend must belong to a different phone company.  I have Virgin Mobile and I pay $25.00 flat for 300 any time minutes, unlimited internet and text.  You will pay $35.00 a month because they raised their price but I was grandfathered in because I had the plan before it went up.

You will need to go to their website and look at the different plans if you need more minutes.

Vibes for DR Larry's meeting and to everyone who needs them!

This is from Australia's Got talent - an apprentice plumber does a strip but while not a great singer, for a stripper, he's not that bad a singer - and the judges let his "act' go on

Very entertaining, though maybe partly NSFW

Thank you for the vibes; the meeting went quite well, and we will be recording DEAREST ENEMY in August in Dublin. While there are things to be worked out, the hurdle is cleared and everyone's happy and excited. We've got Kim Criswell for Mrs Murray, and I'm hoping that we can get Julian Ovenden, who's recording a Rodgers & Hammerstein album next month, for our juvenile lead.

My books are in a huge disarray throughout the house. Which, when you consider more than 20 bookcases and books lining one side of the hallway, is a few books.

Anyway, I came across a copy of Ethel Waters' autobiography that I didn't know I had, alongside a Bert Williams bio, both of which book I can certainly use for class.

I don't want to open the Ethel Waters book or touch it anymore because I discovered that she had inscribed it. An autographed book of Ethel Waters! And I don't even remember where it came from.

I like a lot of George Platt Lynes' and Bruce Weber's  work, and I really love Richard Avedon.

I got a good review today for Mary Testa's arrangement of "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" in last night's  NY Philharmonic Frank Loesser event.

I have absolutely no memory of writing it, nada, zilch, although I might have done it for the 1998 Symphony space concert.

Morning all.

DR TCB your friend must belong to a different phone company.  I have Virgin Mobile and I pay $25.00 flat for 300 any time minutes, unlimited internet and text.  You will pay $35.00 a month because they raised their price but I was grandfathered in because I had the plan before it went up.

You will need to go to their website and look at the different plans if you need more minutes.

Vibes for DR Larry's meeting and to everyone who needs them!


Thank you, Danise.  I think my friend pays more because she is always on her damn phone.  Virgin told me the same thing that you did, so that is terrific

I have been reading up on that.  Apparently 25% of first heart attack in men, are what they call silent heart attacks.  So, I guess I am no alone.  I will say that the heart on the ultra sound is a lot worse looking than the adorable unborns you always see.

If there are any typos left in this book you'll have to take it up with the THREE people who proofed it - then you can take it up with me, because I also proofed it three times.  However, if there are any left, we're in very good company with John Steinbeck, James Agee, J.K. Rowling (the queen of typos and mistakes - her proofers ought to be run out of town on a rail), etc.

I did notice on the Kindle version some weird formatting things.

Those are ALL Kindle problems - there are no problems like that in the printed book - anywhere.  The reason it does that has to do with where lines are breaking in the eBook - if, for example, in the printed book an end of sentence reads Stephen Sond- and the "heim" is hyphenated to the following line, then the eBook doesn't correct that should the line fall in the middle of a sentence rather than the end - it's weird but I suppose they'd have to go through by hand to correct every one of those things and there are probably a lot - it's why I don't really do eBooks.  But rest assured, there are 0 formatting issues in the real book.

"Titus Andronicus"! I love it. I saw an outer space rock musical version of it about the time that "Star Wars" came out. I think even at 10 or 12, I knew it was cheesy when a character grabbed a microphone out of a rock before he started to sing. But, hey, it was a foodie musical with that pie featuring the queen's two sons. Yeah!

I know now why Schubert operas are never performed now: beautiful music with no sense of drama, theatrics, pacing, comedy, or sense. I thought my friend did a great job of trying to keep it afloat and there were good funny bits. the student cast sang beautifully, and the leading lady was quite wonderful. It's a good piece for a student production, since I doubt any major company will ever produce iit, and it was accompanied very well by a student orchestra of around 25 players. I'm glad I saw it, and I'm happy that my friend is doing so well with the Manhattan School of Music opera dept. She's good for them.

Sherri and Val. I watch The View, so I already like Sherri. I know she has wanted to do the show for a long time. She is just so excited to be on the show. And she acts every number. And she smiles thru every number. Plus she also has rhythm. I love her attitude. And she's doing pretty well.

I still occasionally post photos on my photo blog when I see something interesting. www.andthisiswhatisawtoday.blogspot.com

And someone from this site posted a very nice review of my blog on a blog review site back when I had just started it. Whoever you are, thank you very much!

I've read the book, and the one error that really struck me is you referencing your Maguire Sisters take on "Another Hundred People", which was actually "Not Getting Married." (I flew through the book - I thought it was marvelous.

Oops.  Well, can't catch 'em all :)  Glad you liked! So, that's now two factual errors we know of - hopefully no more.  And at least Sondheim had a few in his books :)

Just finishing up Robert Altman's "A Perfect Couple." Love the romance. Hate the music and Ted Neeley.

I don't know if I like dystopia books.  I enjoys the movies.

Dystopia is the biggest craze in YA right now. And one of my favorite categories. I can't get enough of it.

I know really know if any of these books would be your cup of tea. I don't suspect you read much YA. The biggest dystopian book of last year was probably Divergent by Veronica Roth.

I am totally lost.

Which part? YA = young adult books.
Dystopia is a newish genre in YA set in the future where the main character has struggles, society is often in a  repressed state.

This is from Australia's Got talent - an apprentice plumber does a strip but while not a great singer, for a stripper, he's not that bad a singer - and the judges let his "act' go on

Very entertaining, though maybe partly NSFW

Rather cocky (pardon the expression).

I would buy his album.

re: miniscule font size.  I did not know about this until Betsy and the kids showed me, but you can easily adjust font size by "pulling" out from the center of a page until it's as big as you want/need.  Just put your thumb and preferred finger ( ;) ) together and then pull them apart out toward the edge of the screen and the font will increase in size.

Well, someone must be buying the softcover of the new book on amazon - it was formerly at number 863,000 in the sales rank and is now at 38, 400 or something.  Love that - and a very good deal right now at almost ten bucks off list price.

Actually, the actual title is "Getting Married Today."

Well, I'm off to a special TAO board meeting.  We lost our performing space and need to figure out what to do.  Fortunately, we have some time (we weren't supposed to start rehearsals for "Titus Andronicus" until May), but probably just about anything we find will cost more than what we had.  Wish us luck!!

Be back later.
"Titus Andronicus"! I love it. I saw an outer space rock musical version of it about the time that "Star Wars" came out. I think even at 10 or 12, I knew it was cheesy when a character grabbed a microphone out of a rock before he started to sing. But, hey, it was a foodie musical with that pie featuring the queen's two sons. Yeah!

Cool...our version won't be a musical, though.  It'll be cut down, but it'll all be Shakespeare's original language.  The concept, however, will be based on "Sons of Anarchy (http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/soa/)."

At least I erred with a three-word title :)

Who will be first to post a review of the book?

If there are any typos left in this book you'll have to take it up with the THREE people who proofed it - then you can take it up with me, because I also proofed it three times.  However, if there are any left, we're in very good company with John Steinbeck, James Agee, J.K. Rowling (the queen of typos and mistakes - her proofers ought to be run out of town on a rail), etc.

I did notice on the Kindle version some weird formatting things.

I didn't find any spelling mistakes, just a few rogue spaces ("So ndheim") and hyphens ("Sond-heim") and paragraph breaks. :)

Those are ALL Kindle problems - there are no problems like that in the printed book - anywhere.  The reason it does that has to do with where lines are breaking in the eBook - if, for example, in the printed book an end of sentence reads Stephen Sond- and the "heim" is hyphenated to the following line, then the eBook doesn't correct that should the line fall in the middle of a sentence rather than the end - it's weird but I suppose they'd have to go through by hand to correct every one of those things and there are probably a lot - it's why I don't really do eBooks.  But rest assured, there are 0 formatting issues in the real book.

I wondered if that was why the mistakes were the kind that they were.  So far, it's been fun to read. :)
