Topic of the Day;  I don't remember when I first heard of Sherlock Holmes.  I do think that one of the first movies that I saw was The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother.  I don't remember anything about it now, but just that my sister and I really liked it when we watched in on TV when we were kids.

Otherwise, I really like the three-man (or person) play version of The Hound of the Baskervilles as adapted by Steven Canny & John Nicholson, very much in the style of the Reduced Shakespeare Company.  I ran the sound for a local production and it was hysterical!  I also enjoy (some of) the score to Baker Street, and the movie The Seven-Per-Cent Solution. :)

T.O.D

Obviously, my favorite Sherlock Holmes is Basil Rathbone, since I've written both a book and a stage play about him.

My favorite Sherlock Holmes (Rathbone) film is THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES, followed by THE SCARLET CLAW.

I also like MURDER BY DECREE (1979), in which Christopher Plummer was Holmes and James Mason was Watson.  In that once, they were going after Jack the Ripper.

Kitty cleanup is over, and I've sent a few emails and files.

Yesterday I posted an inquiry on the Cast Recording List about the 1962 Readers Digest Treasury of Great Operettas.  It was originally issued on 9 LPs, each containing excerpts from 2 operettas, one on each side.  I got the set as a Christmas gift that year.  In 1965, in London, the Readers Digest recorded three more LPS and sold the set in UK and Australia as a 12-LP set.

Several years ago I paid Anthony Morelli to transfer a clean set of LPs to mp3 files, but I've been wanting the additional six operettas from 1965.  Thanks to Cast Rexording Listers, I now have the entire collection.  I find like a lot of atudio cast recordings there isa little in the way of emoting, just a lot of pretty singing.  Still it was a great intro to a lot of piece I barely knew as a 16 year-old.

There were two films that I know of that pitted Sherlock Holmes against Jack the Ripper:
A Study In Terror, 1965, with John Neville as Sherlock and Donald Houston as Doctor Watson, and I believe it was Judi Dench's film debut.  Robert Morley does a wonderfully funny turn as Mycroft, Sherlock's brother.
The 1979 Murder By Decree is much darker and owes a lot to Stephen Knight's 1976 book Jack the Ripper: The final Solution, which was the first to imply the Ripper was a cover-ip for a royal plot to cover up a marriage and child between a Soho model and one of Queen Victoria's sons.  This theory is now bogus since DNA finally revealed the actual killer.
I am also fond of the Jeremy Brett-Edward Hardwicke TV series.
I also enjoyed my close personal friend Ian Richardson's Holmes in former DR Charles Pogue's The Hound of the Baskervilles and Sign of Four, but the Doctor Watson changed for each.

DR Elmore, I had a (truly) mint condition of that Operettas album, and I'm afraid to say it left the building during the Great Purge of 2011. For the most part, I did well in getting rid of "extraneous" things then, but every once in a while a reminder comes up of something I absolutely should have kept. But our interests mutate over time, and, well...these things happen.

But I never knew about the 12-disc version until I saw your Facebook post yesterday. I'd almost be tempted to buy one from someone in the UK, if I could be certain of the condition, and if overseas shipping weren't so horrendous right now.

Post by: ChasSmith on July 02, 2020, 06:29:57 AM
It's amusing about the Reader's Digest sets. If you want to collect those, even now it's easy to find mint condition sets for practically no money at secondhand record and book stores, library sales, flea markets, and of course online. It's as though people subscribed to them and rarely, sometimes never, played them. I had about a dozen such sets before the Purge, and they were practically audiophile grade vinyl -- partly due to the above theory, but they're also known for excellent pressing and sound quality, having been produced by RCA in their prime. Great attention was given to their design and manufacture.

Just so you know:

You’ve no doubt heard the phrase “what goes around comes around,” and that has never been truer than when Saturn is retrograde. As karmic Saturn continues its backward journey and moves into serious, structured Capricorn today, we’re asked to turn the mirror onto ourselves and think about our own karma. What areas of your life have you been responsible in, and which ones could use some work?
 
This retrograde period is a valuable time of discovery. It reminds you that the guidelines you set for yourself should always be under assessment and revisiting your moral and ethical stand on certain topics is necessary. Saturn calls on you now to start sorting through both the good and the bad that you’ve helped materialize in your life lately, and come to a decision about changes you want to make in the future.

One of the songs from this album about the covid-19 crisis is about a woman who has been quarantined a little too long with her husband and here kids. It's called Someday. Lyrics from Sean Berry.


Our family is doing fine.
Thanks to Netflix
And to wine ...

I know it sounds a bit bizarre,
Pandemics being what they are,
But I'll miss this
Someday
Not today.
Someday.

As for me
I've a fantasy
Of what will be
When
Someday
After all of this has past
And we've burned up all the masks,
We'll go out And drink rose'
At our favorite cafe
And we'll miss this ...
Someday.

Listened to some fun Countess Maritza excerpts thanks to elmore.  He sent me the other stuff, too, so I'll listen to that stuff later.  Right now it's another Kalman piece, Arizona Lady.  Very enjoyable but very amusing listening to Germans try to be Arizona cowboys.  The recording is great - although it has zero information about what it is, since it's in mono (and GREAT mono) I'd suspect it was recorded around the time of the production in 1954.

Back from picking up packages and Taco Bell - no free deliveries today from anywhere.

What a coinkydink!  I went to Taco Bell today, too.  The drive-thru was always full, but I also actually ate in the restaurant.  A couple of people came in and got food to go, but otherwise, only one father and his young daughter came in and ate inside.  They stayed at the opposite corner from where I was.

I have that, but I haven't listened to it in a long time.

Hugh Downs has died.  He was 99-wow.

Oh, no, but had no idea that he was 99 years old!  Or that his wife (they were married in 1944) died only three years ago!

I mentioned to my sister earlier that I had watched The Nose last night. She reminded me that I had given my nephew a children's book version of the Gogol story it was based on. It was one of his favorites as a kid. She didn't know about the opera and was going to tell Herman about it.

I have started watching Lorraine Hansberry's Les Blancs as staged by the National Theater. It's a wildly different work from Raisin in the Sun, but no less impressive. The big surprise to me is that one of the stars is Sian Phillips, whom I haven't seen in years. All these decades after I, Claudius, she remains a most impressive performer. Long may she entertain us.

Larry, I'd suggest you look at the Life Extension website to narrow down the product options, then call the free Health Advisors/Wellness Consultants for additional help. Some of them are very knowledgable and they're not at all pushy. This is a great resource, IMO.

If you find a product that helps you you might then want to become a member to get better prices. Also, Vitacost carries some, but not all, LE products and they have excellent promotions.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention magnesium for pain relief. In addition to the mineral we're all familiar with, the homeopathic Magnesia Phosphorica is useful. I keep Mag Phos cell salts,  (a kind of subset of homeopathy) tiny tablets that melt in your mouth, next to my bed. If I have trouble falling asleep or wake during the night I'll take one or two of these and usually fall right to sleep. It doesn't guarantee a good night, but it has saved me many times. Use the 30C dose. Don't take with water, just let them dissolve in your mouth. Available from Amazon.

Hope you find some relief.

Trust me, Larry and Jane, my sister’s husband would be no help at all.

Only Larry asked that question.  I knew better and was hesitant to ask about your niece knowing how frustrated she is with her mother, and I expect with her father.


I think, perhaps, it was Jennifer who also mentioned my sister’ husband.

That's in my liked videos.  I didn't know that Siân Phillips was in it.  I recently got the new DigiMix Remastered studio recording of A Little Night Music, where she played Desiree (https://youtu.be/nmEf8LtUzoE). :)
