Well, you've read the notes, the notes featured both Schubert and sherbet, and now it is time for you to post until the Schubert cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: ENVISAGE!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I did not get to bed last night till after 10:30m, and I slept quite poorly. I think I wiull most likely spend a great deal of the day lying down.
-
And I zoomed for the first time. On June 19, 1970, the Miami University Theatre's production of Once Upon A Mattressm reduced to a cast of fourteen, began a USO tour to Greenland and Iceland. One of the cast began a Facebook page about a month ago, and last night we had our first Zoom session. Of the twelve participants only nine were cast members. The other three were the costumer, director, and me.
-
Well, I hope tonight's Tulsa rally ends up with huge number of Covid-19 cases. These fools deserve no less.
-
I have almost finished my orchestration: so far, 450 measures, and 85 pages of score. I may finish it up today.
-
Annabelle is not eating again.
-
Good morning!
-
Poor Dog Dazzle.....
-
Finishing the orchestration vibes for DR ELMORE.
-
I think my favorite person with the gift of ENVISAGE was Kreskin.....
"We are all interested in the future for that is where we spend the rest of our lives......"
You can't argue with that logic.
-
Congrats on selling the property DR CILLA LIZ.
I know what you mean about road construction. There are two ways to my house from the theatre - well two ways that I use.
I chose the wrong one yesterday.....usually I drive it on the weekends or in the evening. Yesterday at 4:30 p.m. there was construction at the highway and Interstate exchange.
Then on the frontage road I finally got on, a few miles in there was a "Road Closed Ahead" sign. I turned off on a side road and meandered around and finally got back on the frontage road....just where the "Road Closed" sign was.
I went the other way and meandered around and finally got to a road I recognized and came into town.
I am old and I have now been on roads that I had never been on in my life.
-
I shall think about the TOD.
But I can answer one part now.
Charles Grodin - NONE.
He is insufferable onscreen and off. One night he was on a TCM choose your favorite movie night, and of course he chose two of his own epics.....neither of which has been shown on the network since. And he opined that the critics ruined what would have been obvious box office successes....
-
Everyone stay cool.
-
Everyone stay cool.
None so cool as you, DR JRand69!
-
Good morning, all.
-
I’m not out of bed yet, but JB is summoning me.
-
From DR TCB:
Nobody mentions not touching your face anymore
.
Bryan did to us the other day.
-
Today’s first feature is Jean Renoir’s The Golden Coach with Anna Magnani.
-
Thank you DR George. It is very sad.
-
DR TCB do not get a bunny.
-
Poor Dog Dazzle.....
Yes. I sent them an email and have not heard back, not that I expected to.
-
The Heartbreak Kid is my favorite Grodin film. I just realized his movies are ones we have watched multiple times.
-
I liked Cybill Shepherd best in Moonlighting.
-
I am a Cybill Shepherd fan. Last Picture Show, Heartbreak Kid, Daisy Miller and At Long Last Love as well as Moonlighting are favorites.
-
Grodin:
Heartbreak Kid
Heaven Can Wait
Ishtar
But I generally like the movies better than him.
-
I'm up, I'm up - four and a half hours of sleep. Not up to doing garage hunting right now.
-
Cybill Shepherd:
Moonlighting
Cybill
The Last Picture Show
Taxi Driver
Texasville
Daisy Miller
Neil Simon:
Barefoot in the Park - Play & Movie
The Sunshine Boys - Play & Movie
The Odd Couple - Play & Movie
The Prisoner of Second Avenue - Play [Mr BK should play this part one day.....]
California Suite - Movie
The Goodbye Girl - Movie, I haven't seen the play
The Out-Of-Towners - original movie not the remake

Promises, Promises
Barefoot in the Park
The Odd Couple
Biloxi Blues
-
Two!
-
I finished the orchestration, and tomorrow I will go through it, ascertain the page and bar numbers are correct, and make any changes. It looks good.
-
Good .... um, afternoon, all.
-
Been lazying around this summery Saturday morning.
-
We watched THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL last night.
Hadn't seen it for 5-6 years.
Who was that "innocent" young kid who played the would-be director of the movie?
I know him from somewhere...
-
I am taking a break today.
-
Congratulations, Elmore, on finishing the orchestration.
-
I doubt that I’ve heard all the Sherbet symphonies, but I really took to the Ninth — or Seventh, if you’re George Szell. It’s been years, but I know I listened a lot to Szell’s (on Epic), Toscanini’s (some special release - was it a Soria?), and Walter’s on Columbia. We did it under Levine and I have a private recording of that. But I can’t say I’ve ever heard Munch’s, which kind of makes no sense. Have to check into that.
I also like the Unfinished (when conducted well, otherwise it’s just a warhorse I can do without), and I think the Fourth is the other one I’ve liked.
-
I think I have narrowed things down as far as colors of the house are concerned.
I have a strip with three grays and I want to talk to the color person about what's going to show best in the Texas sun. The names are strange.
Zircon
Knitting Needles (makes me think of Madame de Farge)
March Wind
The second color is called Recycled Glass and is a green with both sunlight and sage undertones.
The third, which is probably only for the front door, is called Greenblack. It's black all right, but you can see the green underneath. All of the colors go with the red brick very nicely, which is what I was sort of worried about, and they'll go well with the gray white roof.
Now, if I could only see them not on a computer and a little larger than the paint sample book.
-
Best name today that I've found is Dorian Gray.
-
It’s nice to hear that BK is enjoying some Mendelssohn. He is well worth it.
-
DR John G., if there isn’t already some app that loads a photo of your house and shows what it would look like with various sample colors, then damn it, there should be.
-
I am at home and have finally eaten
-
Omelette with homemade guacamole and Muenster cheese
-
And coffee
-
I go back to moms in 4.5 hours
-
Back from some matzoh brei at Jerry's Deli - only me and one other booth far away. It was good and low-calorie. Just had fruit on the side.
-
Then I did some stuff, picked up a package, and am now home and she of the Evil Eye has done her work and is gone.
-

Yes, there should be.
-
Time for Renoir’s French Can-Can.
-
The sight of Jean Gabin dancing is something I wasn’t expecting. Bet he had the time of his life making this movie.
-
I like all of the colors mentioned by DR JOHN G.
-
Omelet.....sounds good DR VIXMOM.
-
LOL DR DRUXY. He does look familiar.
-
Reading what DR CHAS SMITH wrote about Schubert's Unfinished Symphony reminded me of the one I wrote.
It's called:
Jack's Unstarted Symphony.....I believe it will one day be universally popular.....
-
Tonight on HBO is the premiere of FORD vs FERRARI which I think I will watch.....
-
Again 90 degrees.....AGAIN with the heat!
-
I am waiting for the director to send me the next installment of Conversations With Jack - the new hit TV show that everyone in the county is talking about.
It has to go to the station on Monday, so I'm hoping he gets it to me for a "look-see" before that happens.
-
We have 81 views since Tuesday on YouTube with 89% of those coming from those following the link on the website.....
Most of them watch for about 10 minutes......although about 36% of them are gone by 6 minutes into the video.....
-
So sad to be all alone in the world......
-
Three!
-
So, one of the extras on French Cancan was an interview with the set designer, Max Douy. He spoke about filming in color back in the 1950s when you had to worry about certain reds that came out black, blue becoming white, and getting the right colors of the costumes to match the sets. You didn't want a woman in purple on a mauve set. It just felt right for today with all of my color craziness.

Can you post the link again, please?

Of course DR JOHN G.....we have solved the lighting and audio problems, but here is the first one in all its unglory.

-
Thank you, sir.
-
Now it’s on to Elena and Her Men. Because, well, I never miss an Ingrid Bergman musical.
-
Hey, JohnG, don't you want to review a book?
-
We need reviews.
-
Had a phone call interrupt the movie. When I returned, the voice dubbing Mel Ferrer seems to have changed. It sounds a half-octave higher.
-
In other news, I'm finished with my viewing and listening to Chopin's first piano concerto - I like Chopin pretty okay. Prior to that was the Berlioz requiem - it was okay.
-
In other news, why are we on page three?
-
And not even halfway through page three, if you must know.
-
My exciting time home today
-
Made an avocado omelette
-
Emptied and refilled the dishwasher
-
Went to the grocery store with Vixdad
-
Not the local store, we traveled to the Stew Leonard’s 8 miles away
-
Hey, JohnG, don't you want to review a book?
It posted yesterday.

Well, you simply must alert us! :)
-
I like this Chopin guy.
-
http://www.stewleonards.com/bakery/bethys-bakery/

Came home

Put away the groceries
-
Made dinner
-
Well heated up dinner actually
-
Vixdad saw a ready to bake buffalo chicken pizza at Stew Leonards that was calling his name
-
I had some left over Greek pastichio from Fridays lunch
-
(The girls in the office ordered from the local Greek place and I broke down and ordered with them)
-
So I popped those both in the oven and presto chango dinner was ready in 15 minutes
-
Then I put the dishes in the dishwasher
-
Put myself in the shower
-
Then it was time to dress, repack my overnight back and go back to mom’s
-
I ordered the medical alert system tonight,
-
It should by here by Friday
-
Loverly review from JohnG! Check out the three that are there if you haven't: https://www.amazon.com/Simply-Lifetime-Lyrics-Bruce-Kimmel/dp/1728350700/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
-
Then we watched three episodes of the last season of Downton Abbey
-
Lady Mary is hateful
-
I like this Chopin guy. Good tunes.
-
And now mom is tucked up in bed and I am tucked up on the couch
-
Very nice reviews
-
I am afraid I have had no time todo any reading myself
-
The Jean Renoir trilogy is finished. I am off to bed.
-
Glad you like the review, BK.
-
Good night, all.
-
And thanks, Vixmom. I shall probably dream of an avocado omelet.
-
Now playing, the Dvorak cello concerto - wonderful performance and soloist.
-
I'll have an avocado omelet.
-
I do have eggs here, but no avocado.
-
Did you know that avocado spelled backwards is odacova? I like that better. I'm going to make an odacova telemo.
-
Made an avocado omelette
I rarely eat omelettes. The first few years in Ashland we would often go for Sunday brunch at a restaurant the made delicious avocado omelettes.
-
Any other time we went there I got their fantastic Awesome Veggie Burger.
-
We were very sad when the owner's retired.
-
Then it was time to dress, repack my overnight back and go back to mom’s
:(
-
It should by here by Friday
Excellent. I hope you are pleased with it.
-
Listening to some Berlioz overtures - they're kind of fun in their way.
-

Can you get samples? I know home depot used to do small samples that you can take home and try out on the wall in real life. Don't know if they still do. I'm sure other places do that too
-
I worked outside today. I power washed the gazebo to get the peeling paint off. I'm going to stain it with a solid wood stain to match the garage that it is near. Then I have screen repair and some work to do on the inside. I've never spent much time in there, well virtually none, but if I get it fixed up that might change. The fun part is I can see people walking by and hear them and they rarely if ever notice me sitting in the gazebo. It's small and has a bench all the way around that isn't comfortable, so I've got a small table and a chair in there to sit on, still not ideal. It's something I'll have to work on. The gazebo was built in the late 1930s. It used to have electricity and glass windows, now it's just screens and the electric doesn't work
-
It's late and I must sleep. Night all and don't touch your face!
-
Good evening.

Page 5? Really?
-
Well, we lost two of our cast members today.
-
One of them was former DR Jed.
-
I am hoping that this will be the final straw.
-
The show needs to be cancelled.
-
The way the show stands, if we open the show in July, we can only have thirty people in the house.
-
I liked Cybill Shepherd best in Moonlighting.
I loved that show! But I barely remember it now. ::)
-
Hi, Tom.
-
The staff keeps telling us that we have all performed for houses of thirty people, or less.
-
Well, we lost two of our cast members today.
Oh, no!
-
The staff keeps telling us that we have all performed for houses of thirty people, or less.
I know I have. ::)
-
That may be true, but never have we planned for that size of an audience.
-
Both actors who left are leads.
-
Hello, George.
-
I am very tired tonight. Good night.
-
Tom, if you want them to cancel, why don't you quit? That might be the nail in the coffin. Just a thought.
-
I am very tired tonight. Good night.
Good night, Tom.
-
I am a Cybill Shepherd fan. Last Picture Show, Heartbreak Kid, Daisy Miller and At Long Last Love as well as Moonlighting are favorites.
Other than the TV show Moonlighting, of these I've only seen At Long Last Love, which I really like.

You mean Jed who used to come here and visit with his wife?
-
I finished the orchestration, and tomorrow I will go through it, ascertain the page and bar numbers are correct, and make any changes. It looks good.
Congrats, Larry! And good luck with finding and making any corrections!

Yup, that Jed.

Back in the early 2000s, when my work got remodeled, there was one color in the lavender scheme called "Fascination."
-
Best name today that I've found is Dorian Gray.
:))
-
Last night, I recorded Ann on PBS.
-
It's about Ann Richards, the governor of Texas, starring Holland Taylor.
-
I didn't realize it, but Holland Taylor also wrote the play!
-
PAGE SIX ANN DANCE!!

Holland Taylor was very good, and the show was very funny!
