Perhaps George skipped over my post about where he got those cheap prop laptops - need one and some fake cell phones, too.

Nope, I was trying to find it and I finally did!  WHEW!!  It was actually Michael who posted the link and here it is:

And for the phones, I just bought random phone covers at The Dollar Tree (where everything's a dollar!), then I did a screen capture of my very own phone and printed those out, then taped those onto cardboard cut to fit the phone cases, and attached everything together with tape and hot glue as necessary.  Instant fake phones! :D

I couldn't find any fake cell phone at that website, so I made them myself.  I think my idea was pretty inventive.

I didn't think about this...here is an Amazon listing for 10 Pack of Fake Cell Phone - Toy Phones & Tablet for Kids (https://www.amazon.com/Pack-Fake-Phone-Phones-Tablet/dp/B075PW23DV).  There are many different options to choose from!

DR JohnG, I thought the last episode rushed to finish things up, much like frenzied finish to the Kiera Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice.  I think another 30 minutes would have clarified a few things for me: the reasons for Silverbridge's return to the Liberal party and Plantagenet's final acceptance of his children's marriage choices.

Still, what a great series, as good as the 15 hours of the BBC War and Peace.

I’m playing in HELLO, DOLLY! at a college in February. It’ll be full orchestra, piano/celeste for me, and my friend the MD would like it if I can cover the harp. We don’t see a harp book (or reference to keyboard coverage) on the Tams site and we won’t have materials for a while yet, so I’m wondering two things: 

Could that just be an omission in their listing? And is the rental orchestration more or less the original 1960s one? (I know they send the transpositions, too, so obviously those are altered.)

http://www.tamswitmark.com/shows/hello-dolly/

I haven’t listened to it in a while, and I don’t remember how original or how changed the orchestration was in the Channing revival that BK recorded.

I believe you can hear a harp on the OBC, and there may be cues in the original published vocal score, but there is no harp in the rental package to my knowledge.  That orchestration is based on the original but I believe it's been tampered with for both the tours and to cover missing instruments.

I highly suggest you practice this while they are healthy to get a feel for doing it.  It is much easier to know when a dog isn't getting enough fluids than a cat.  Catch a serious problem in time and save a trip to the vet :)

I had the HEAT on last night for the first time this year....everything seems to be working properly.

This morning, I was in my second floor extra room and noticed that that heater was on.  It's the first time that I noticed that any heater had come on.  I have it set to come on at 55°.  I also realized that my bottom floor heater has not yet come on at all!  What's up with that?  I checked that one and I had actually turned it all the way off!  No wonder it's been so cold up in my third floor bedroom!  I set that thermostat to 60° and will see how it all is.  It's really not worth it to turn the heat up much more because it ALL just goes right up the stairs and out my skylight.  I just want enough heat so that my pipes don't freeze (or my neighbors' again). :P

While at the Goodwill this morning looking for a fall type jacket....with a lining....which I found for $5.99 - I also stopped to look at the books and records and cd recordings.

And there among the country music and religious solo albums and boy bands were 12 - TWELVE - different cd recordings from Dino....the famous DINO at the piano of HHW.

I studied them all - and I decided I would buy ONE....so I chose Unforgettable Dino - the Pop Sessions which includes a medley of Unchained Melody/Everything I Do/Unforgettable, Wind Beneath My Wings, and several other ditties....ten in all.

It is most entertaining....next time I am there I will see what else is left.....

I also bought Bryn Terfel sings Rodgers & Hammerstein....which I have not listened to yet.

Oh and Dino's last name is Kartsonakis.....and he plays Baldwin pianos exclusively....

My nephew married a woman 19 years his senior.....she has had him cut off communication with his family completely - it's a bad situation that needs not to be discussed in detail.....life goes on for my sister, her husband and his two sisters.

The wife who has several serious illnesses that no doctor can name or treat her for is crazy - for want of a better word - and of course he is complicit as well or he would say - they ARE my family....

ANYWAY she has been bragging on her Facebook page, which I look at occasionally, about the great job that he got and how much he loves it, etc.  I looked at the picture that she posted of one event he worked on.

I said to my sister - that looks like the place where Roe (our cousin's son) works.....so I happened to message him.....and asked does NAME work for you - he's my nephew.

ROE said....NO way!!!  I just hired him a couple of months ago, he's great.

I said tell him hi! 

HA HA!  His wife's head will explode when she finds out he's working with ONE OF US.....

Small world.

83 years ago today Cole Porter's musical with Moss Hart, Jubilee, opened on Broadway.  It was a hit until Mary Boland's drinking problems caused her to leave the show and it folded shortly after Laura Hope Crews replaced her.

The show was performed twice during the 1940s at the St Louis Muny before the materials were lost in shipment from St Louis to Manhattan and it became a lost musical.  In 1985 I was hired to reconstruct and orchestrate the show from the rehearsal manuscripts in the Cole Porter Trust.  Here's the overture from my reconstruction:

This morning I have a port flush and then my sister Paula and I are going to the Mooresville Goodwill store....which should be fun.

I had the HEAT on last night for the first time this year....everything seems to be working properly.

This morning, I was in my second floor extra room and noticed that that heater was on.  It's the first time that I noticed that any heater had come on.  I have it set to come on at 55°.  I also realized that my bottom floor heater has not yet come on at all!  What's up with that?  I checked that one and I had actually turned it all the way off!  No wonder it's been so cold up in my third floor bedroom!  I set that thermostat to 60° and will see how it all is.  It's really not worth it to turn the heat up much more because it ALL just goes right up the stairs and out my skylight.  I just want enough heat so that my pipes don't freeze (or my neighbors' again). :P

Frozen pipes is not a good thing.  Do you know about leaving a little dripping water if it get very cold?

Yes, I do know about that.  It hasn't gotten that cold, yet, so I haven't really been worried about it.  It's just that finding the second floor heater on this morning made me think of all that.

Well, it's been OFFICIALLY announced, so I can now announce that I have been cast as Santa (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwGYfMVKQtQ) in Broadway Olympia Productions (https://www.broadwayolympia.com/)' upcoming production of the musical version of A Christmas Story! :D I'll also be in the Ensemble.

Congratulations :)

Have fun.

83 years ago today Cole Porter's musical with Moss Hart, Jubilee, opened on Broadway.  It was a hit until Mary Boland's drinking problems caused her to leave the show and it folded shortly after Laura Hope Crews replaced her.

The show was performed twice during the 1940s at the St Louis Muny before the materials were lost in shipment from St Louis to Manhattan and it became a lost musical.  In 1985 I was hired to reconstruct and orchestrate the show from the rehearsal manuscripts in the Cole Porter Trust.  Here's the overture from my reconstruction:

My prediction - he won't keep the job and will be gone by the first of the year.  She won't be able to stand it.

If he is smart he won't tell her.  Such a sad situation.

Otherwise I'm just listening to music - currently playing more music from Joly Braga Santos - he's like the two faces of Eve - his first period is great, up through the 1950s - tonal, beautiful, and just wonderful music - haven't heard a bum piece yet.  Then sometime in the 60s he has a complete change of style and becomes strident and atonal with nary a trace of his other face.  I find the latter interesting on certain levels, but obviously I prefer his earlier stuff, which is stunning.

And speaking of Virginal and Santa...did anyone see or remember this segment from Antiques Roadshow?  It's a 2012 rebroadcast and reappraising of the original 1997 segment with the great-grandson of the actual Virginia!  At the time, he had the actual letter that was sent to the newspaper.  Here's the segment:

I am listening to the music of Arnold Bax conducted by the other AB - Adrian Boult on Lyrita, perhaps the greatest label from Britain ever in terms of quality of performance and sound.  I had all the Bax music in the 80s and 90s on Chandos and I never really warmed to it.  But now warming has taken place thanks to Mr. Boult and the Lyrita sound.  It's like hearing completely different music, frankly.

The songwriter Carol Hall has passed away at eighty-two.  Had no idea she was that old.  I really enjoyed working with her when I recorded the Ann-Margret Best Little Whorehouse - we had the best time.  I met her first in New York to discuss the recording, and also recorded her Jenny Rebecca song on some album.  At some point I wanted to do a Carol Hall album, which we were talking about when the bad people caused the label I created to go to hell.

Looking at the cast list, I don’t know a single person in the cast, except the director, Aaron, who is also plying a couple of small parts in the show.  Aaron was in SECOND SAMUEL with me.

I know a few people in my cast, but not many.

I told the Artitic Director, but he didn’t seem to think it was any big whoop. Considering how many tickets they have sold for the 23rd, I would say it was a pretty big deal.
