Title: BRIGHT AND EARLY
Post by: bk on February 11, 2006, 12:57:06 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were very Bright and Early, and now it is time for you to post until the Bright and Early cows come home - they're currently running the Eat My Muffin routine.

Title: Re:BRIGHT AND EARLY
Post by: Jrand73 on February 11, 2006, 06:09:22 AM: Yes, WHO stages these opening ceremonies? It was pretty bad....although I think the "skier" made up of performers was the worst, for me.

Oh well....and there WAS all of that disco music for the parade of nations, my guess is that MOST of the athletes did NOT know what was being sung as they were marching around the stadium....."At first I was alone, I was petrified....."

DR TOMovOZ - congratulations on your money!

I will take some photographs for those who might be interested.

Post by: Jrand73 on February 11, 2006, 06:15:02 AM: Abbott & Costello - the usual routines, plus one where Lou was onstage singing and Bud was instructing the stage manager to raise and lower the "legs" on either side of the stage.

Martin & Lewis.....

But I guess my favorite routine - one that I saw once and still remember and laugh about:

Nichols & May - the Bargain Funeral.

May: And just where did you see our ad?
Nichols: TV Guide.
Title: Re:BRIGHT AND EARLY
Post by: Ginny on February 11, 2006, 06:22:36 AM: DH Richard and I watched the Olympic ceremony last night only until the end of the parade of nations. I did like the speed skaters with the flaming helmets and Richard liked the Canadians' hats.

And, although we might be sick of them at the end of 2 weeks, I thought many of the commercials were more clever than the ones during the Super Bowl. I especially like the one that portrays "risk" as sniffing the milk carton and then pouring the milk into your coffee anyway.
Title: Re:BRIGHT AND EARLY
Post by: Jrand73 on February 11, 2006, 06:27:51 AM: Some of the commercials were funny.

I guess since it is all - or most - on taped delay....you can REALLY see the programmers dividing everything up and timing and staging it all JUST to GET IN the commercials. And the commentators trying to build suspense just makes it worse....."We'll have that when we come back....."

Oh well....and I am VERY tired of Bode Miller...and have been for a few weeks. It's not a story, folks.... Sometimes MEDIA interest is mistaken for public interest, and we get stuck with all the reports on the "controversy"...manufactured though it may be.

ANYWAY.....I do like the competitions, especially the skiing and skating!

The vocal selections book for The Music Man has what appears to be 2 voices and the librarian who's working on it at the desk is asking me for music advice. Boy, are we in trouble if I'm the music expert on duty today.

Title: Re:BRIGHT AND EARLY
Post by: elmore3003 on February 11, 2006, 07:05:14 AM: Good mornig, all! I slept quite late this morning, said to hell with the office today, and I shall putter about here until 12:30 and then go up to Karen Ziemba's. I need some rejuvenation pills.

DR JRand55, I sort of feel the same way about Bode Miller, but he's been made the US poor-boy-makes-good hero for this year's Olympics, whether we wants the constant attention or not. My other feelings are, good for him, run with it, become famous: he's a much more honest celebrity than that celebutramp Paris Hilton who became known for two things: sex and wealth, both of which get too much attention for her to be considered classy.

I'm hearing pros and cons about KISMET: I saw the Lincoln Center revival, which I loved, and so far friends have either liked or loathed the Encores! presentation. It sounds to me that Lonny Price forgot it's basically a burlesque show and that the Bagdad of KISMET is a metaphor for Minsky's; it was a camp then, and it probably needs a director like Charles Ludlam now. The original Knoblock play with Otis Skinner owed a lot to the popularity of the recently-published RUBAIYAT, the Richard Burton stories of his decadent life and his translation of the Arabian Nights, all those exotic Eastern locales that inspired operettas like CHU CHIN CHOW and the Victor Herbert song "Baghdad" with its KISMET references in 1912 at the same time; of course, that's all a hundred years ago, and the piece is an exotic comedy with a glorious score. The Encores! casting looks mediocre to me, although Marin Mazzie seems right to me after loving her as Lili Vanessi, something she has in common with the great Anne Jeffreys.

I bought it yesterday, along with MANHUNT, the new book about the Lincoln assassination, and MOZART'S WOMEN by Jane Glover.

I hope the rest of the move goes smoothly and that you have hot water today.

Post by: JoseSPiano on February 11, 2006, 07:51:46 AM: The final hour or so of the Opening Ceremonies was decidedly better than the first few hours. I thought the aerial acrobats forming The Dove was pretty cool, and quite beautiful. -Although, I would have preferred a less close-up shot of the formation.

And I did wonder if Pavarotti was lip-syncing... I mean they usually do a pre-mix of the music anyway for broadcast, so... Anything is possible.

Nothing yet - I just peeked outside. It's not supposed to start until around 3:00 or 4:00.... at least that's what they said last night. I need to check the latest forecast to see what's up. -But I do remember "them" saying it was supposed to start snowing down the DC area by now.

Channel 20 in DC would usually program comedies on the weekend:

Abbott & Costello - "Who's on first?"
Bob Hope & Bing Crosby
Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis

Otherwise, I would include the first group of Not Ready for Primetime Players on "Saturday Night Live", and on the semi-obscure side, Monteith & Rand.

I got up, but there was no one at the door. It was surreal - outside it was completely foggy - I haven't seen fog in the Valley for twenty years. Then I went back to bed, had some more weird dreams, then awoke at eight-fifteen. No more fog, blue skies, and the singing bird has returned and was singing Losing My Mind, and a very good rendition it was.

I find that I play the film fairly often even though it's dully directed. I just adore the music.
Title: Re:BRIGHT AND EARLY
Post by: JoseSPiano on February 11, 2006, 08:56:11 AM: And speaking of madness...

Just been catching up on some my reading, and came across this story in the New York Times:

In Small Town, 'Grease' Ignites a Culture War (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/11/national/11fulton.html?_r=1&oref=slogin)

Here are the opening paragraphs:

Quote
By DIANA JEAN SCHEMO
FULTON, Mo. — When Wendy DeVore, the drama teacher at Fulton High here, staged the musical "Grease," about high school students in the 1950's, she carefully changed the script to avoid causing offense in this small town.

She softened the language, substituting slang for profanity in places. Instead of smoking "weed," the teenagers duck out for a cigarette. She rated the production PG-13, advising parents it was not suitable for small children.

But a month after the performances in November, three letters arrived on the desk of Mark Enderle, Fulton's superintendent of schools. Although the letters did not say so, the three writers were members of a small group linked by e-mail, all members of the same congregation, Callaway Christian Church.

Each criticized the show, complaining that scenes of drinking, smoking and a couple kissing went too far, and glorified conduct that the community tries to discourage. One letter, from someone who had not seen the show but only heard about it, criticized "immoral behavior veiled behind the excuse of acting out a play."

Dr. Enderle watched a video of the play, ultimately agreeing that "Grease" was unsuitable for the high school, despite his having approved it beforehand, without looking at the script. Hoping to avoid similar complaints in the future, he decided to ban the scheduled spring play, "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller.

"That was me in my worst Joe McCarthy moment, to some," Dr. Enderle said.

Stories like this just make me shake my head... I went to a Catholic High School, and we performed Grease, The Crucible, West Side Story... Have things changed that much - and for the worse - in just 20 years?

:-\
Title: Re:BRIGHT AND EARLY
Post by: Matt H. on February 11, 2006, 08:58:13 AM: And I have a fair number of things to watch on TV from the DVR today.

I don't intend to watch the Olympics much at all. If I read on-line that someone has done a memorable performance, then I'll tune in to the highlight on NBC-HD that night. Otherwise, I'm just not that much interested in the sports.
Title: Re:BRIGHT AND EARLY
Post by: JoseSPiano on February 11, 2006, 08:59:08 AM: OK - The Color Purple OCR is almost done, and I should get ready to head out...

In fact, when is the Purl/Donnie Most collection coming out? Features LEO AND LOREE, CRAZY MAMA and various HAPPY DAYS episodes.

That's my favorite comedy team by the way Purl & Most. They tried to revive some Bright and Early routines, with not much success.

Speaking of Bright and Early what happened to that other team Dim and Late...Donald Dim and Lonsdale Late, also known as Donnie and Lonnie, who blatantly ripped off Bright and Early's brilliant Eat My Muffin routine with their sadder, dirtier imitation called Pet My Poodle?

BK, do the Olympics impact anything anymore? I sorta thought interest in their televised antics went the way of space flights and the Miss America pageant? I won't be watching the Olympics.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on February 11, 2006, 10:43:26 AM: Bode Miller -- he looks like a younger Russell Crowe. With his directness about any issue put to him, the press are playing up the "bad boy" image.

Olympic Gold is Olympic Gold. It yields HUGE dividends for the athletes who sign contracts afterward.

This year, the USA has fielded its strongest team ever. Sports remain HUGE in the USA no matter how dissociative we become in our dotage! For every individual declaring he or she "won't" be watching, there will be untold numbers of new fans glued to their TV sets. I know my loss of interest in football hasn't hurt that sport one bit. I still can't get over how it takes three-plus hours to play a 60-minute game. Time is short and I've wasted enough of it on football!!! :D

I've read on Yahoo this morning that Michelle Kwan is quoted as saying she may withdraw. Actually, she had a scary first practice and left the ice 15 minutes before her time was up. The reporter read all kinds of bad news into this because Kwan had fallen on a triple jump. He (or she) asked her if she would pull out. Michelle answered that if she doesn't feel she is able to perform, she will. But that's what Kwan has said all along. She said that today she was feeling stiff and attributed that to the flight and the march of athletes last night. Coupled with the absence of her coach (who provides psychological support, as well) at the rink, she worried she might aggravate the condition that had kept her from competing at Nationals.

Until the announcement comes, and it may, I remain hopeful she will skate.

I suspect they are not attempting to persue the continuance of this show with another network as they pretty much resolved all the major story lines .

Post by: vixmom on February 11, 2006, 11:01:43 AM: Oh, befoer I leave a comment on the Grease story....I don;t understand why concerns over sex, drinking, drugs and scantily clothed teens would end with the banishing of the Crucible in favor of A Midsummers Night dream.... is the principal aware of any of the storylines of any of the shows he approves?

Does he think the church folks will look more favorably on fairies dancing around a forest half dressed and having it on with men transformed into jackasses than they would about a man sticking to his principals and refusing to confess to something he hasn't done in an effort to save his soul though it costs him his life?? (Or does he figure that the Shakespearean prose will be incomprehensible to the flock and they will feel criticized by The Crucible?)

DR MBarnum - I also really enjoyed GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK. I highly recommend CAPOTE. Philip Seymour Hoffman is just incredible. He really should win best actor for that performance.

I meant to say the same thing.

Post by: FJL on February 11, 2006, 01:02:34 PM: I agree that "I Will Survive" was an odd choice to play during the Olympics opening ceremony. Hope no one's offended by this, but has anyone noted that when the athletes from India paraded by, they were playing "Funkytown?" I thought of MBarnum when that happened.

Post by: FJL on February 11, 2006, 01:07:38 PM: Interesting coincidence that there was discussion of ALL OVER THE GUY here yesterday. We just happened to have watched it Wednesday night, first movie I've willingly sat all the way through in a long time.

According to imdb, Dan Bucatinsky, who wrote the film and played Eli is the partner of Don (The Opposite of Sex) Roos. Explains the willingness of Lisa Kudrow and Chrstiina Ricci to do such small roles. But I really enjoyed the film a great deal.

I went out because we needed milk and bread. I got a couple of other things as well. The store wasn't mobbed, but it was busier than it usually is on a Saturday afternoon.

That's all from Chelsea.

And the sound, which has been very problematic on this tape the last couple of times I watched it, was fine this afternoon. No scratching or misalligned audio heads at all.

I DO wish I had this on laserdisc, however. The lack of detail shows up on digital TVs with videotape. Laserdiscs (and DVDs, of course) always look much better.

There's still plenty of time for her to get herself acclimated to the surroundings and then decide if she needs to compete. I can't see her competing just for the sake of it if she's not feeling her best. I'm sure she won't compete if she knows she's not ready. She's already won silver and bronze medals in the previous two Olympics and really has nothing left to prove to anyone.

Back from a fine and fun afternoon with DRs TPunk and Rodzinksi. We headed up to Riverdale (the Bronx), had lunch, spent some time in Target - WOW! was that place crazy - and it seemed like everyone in there was stocking up on EVERYTHING! My main "mission" was to buy another under-the-bed storage bin, but all they had on the shelves were the lids. Cuh-ray-zee! But we managed to get out of the there unscathed.

Then we took a trip a little further north to see where DR TPunk works. Then we stopped at a bakery... :)

And now...

Just waiting for the snow storm/blizzard/winter weather event.

Post by: TPunk on February 11, 2006, 03:00:51 PM: Here's my two cents on the Grease thing. Sometimes the powers that be can be dumb. What do they think kids see on the tv/movies/internet/general environment?? Denying it, surpressing it, pretending like it doesn't happen just leads to kids with little to no correct information and coping skills. If there was true concern on their part that the subject material was questionable, why not follow the show with a question and answer period to explore the consequences of some of the actions. Kids are not dumb and they are not blind. Why do some folks insist on poking their heads down into the sand? That is why we end up with the problems we have. And now I will climb down off of my soapbox.

This year's opening ceremonies were as spectacularly cheesey as any of the others that I recall seeing but I think thats part of their charm.
Title: Re:BRIGHT AND EARLY
Post by: Ann on February 11, 2006, 05:22:30 PM: Hello all! I believe Jed and I forgot to inform you all that we would be E&T for a few days. We decided to take a trip down to San Francisco to celebrate the last week of freedom before his job starts on Monday. We drove down on Tuesday night, arriving at the city at around 11 in the morning, and spent two glorious days roaming around. I had been there for a few days on a choir trip back in 2003, and Jed had last been there about five years ago, but neither of us had really taken the time to explore the city from top to bottom, which I believe we did this time around.
On Wednesday we covered the beach, which was gorgeous, a drive through Golden Gate park, and headed up to Twin Peaks to catch the city as the sun set. It was unbelievably beautiful up there. I took some pictures that I hope turn out well. We then headed down to Chinatown for some prowling around and a yummy dinner. Jed tried duck for the first time, and found the bone-to-meat ratio a bit unseemly.
Thursday was packed with good touristy times. We got up early, got a passport so we could take all the busses and cable cars we wanted, and hit the city. We headed out to the bridge, did Fisherman's Wharf, Ghiradelli Square...including some seriously yummy ice cream sundaes...and ended up in Coit Tower for sunset #2. Again, many pictures taken which I hope turn out.
Thanks to DR Jane's comment about the Stinking Rose, we ended up having dinner there, and still reek of garlic this evening :) The food was delicious and plentiful...highly reccomended to anyone who finds themselves hungry in San Francisco.
Yesterday we spent a leisurely morning geting ready to leave, and hit the Jelly Belly factory on our way out of the valley. As DR Jed will attest to, I am a huge fan of Jelly Bellys, so I was in heaven. I ended up walking out with no less than 5 pounds of jelly beans in hand :D This thanks to the cheap deals on bags of "belly flop" beans...misshapen or discontinued flavors. This should last me at least a week :)
For some reason the drive back up seemed much longer than the one down, and we are both glad to be out of the car and back home.

I will post pics when I get the film developed

Thanks. I found out the plumber didn't turn the knob on the hot water heater from pilot to on. What an idiot. I used that company because my realtor recommended him. I called my realtor today and he was shocked when I told him all the things that went wrong and that the owner never came by once (I guess he usually checks in). So he is going to give him a piece of his mind on Monday and tell him he better make things right or their real estate office will have to quit using him.
That's a much bigger threat than I could make, so I'll see what happens.

Since Keith is no longer traveling :D I find I watch less and less of the Olympics each year. He just isn’t interested in watching any of it. Lately I have so little free time to watch on my own. Oh, well, I would rather have Keith home than watch ice skating.

Just in case I have TIVO recording as much as it will hold. I plan to at least catch some of the highlights.

My new "enormous chair" and sofa are being exchanged for a smaller more stylized sofa and chair. I had to laugh at my salesman. When I told him they were too big for the room he said "Yeah I hear that a lot, a woman just called me and said she knew the moment she saw it, it was way too big". Of course he was speaking about a chair, but I really had to laugh.

For some reason Ann Blyth's voice (if it is hers) is lovely and can hit the same notes that Jane Powell & Kathryn : )B>< Grayson do....but Ann doesn't set my teeth on edge, so to speak. And there is the glorious Dolores Gray....AND Sebastian Cabot (ya ever notice that he has to duck when he comes through the door?) - and of course Howard Keel & Vic Damone!!!

Ann and Jed your trip sounds great and am so pleased you enjoyed your dinner.

You might have found the drive home easier if you had done what Penny often does and spent the night with us.

If we had not already arranged to stay at Ann's mom's house in Eugene last night, we may have pursued that option! :) I'm so very glad you mentioned The Stinking Rose a couple weeks ago. My mouth waters at the very thought of the incredible bagna calda and yummilicious ravioli we had Thursday night!

Dont' pay too much...Image did not do a great job putting it on DVD...the color is glorious, but the picture is not very sharp, IMO.

But I think you would enjoy the movie...it is long, and at times I had a bit of trouble keeping characters straight as to who was who and who was really doing what, but it is never boring.

Title: Re:BRIGHT AND EARLY
Post by: JoseSPiano on February 11, 2006, 08:55:47 PM: Good Evening!

Back from Kismet. A truly wonderful evening. Brian Stokes Mitchell and Marin Mazzie really seemed to be relishing their roles, and it was nice to see that their chemistry has not diminished. Marcy Harriell truly was a revelation. The last two times I've heard her, she was Mimi in Rent, and she sang the heck out of "Another Hundred People" at the Kennedy Center... Who knew she had such a nice upper range? And Danny Gurwin... Ah... He still makes me smile. And he looks great with a beard too.

:)

The sound of the orchestra seemed a little too-mic'd at times where I was sitting, but, all in all, balances were fine. However, it would have been interesting to hear the sound coming out of an actual orchestra pit, instead of from the stage... Most of the sound goes up into the fly space.

There were also a bunch of familiar faces in the audience tonight too - Mary Testa, Faith Prince, etc. And I always get a kick out of Paul Gemignani's no-nonsense conducting style. -And it looks like he's slimmed down a little bit from the last time I saw him.

:)
Title: Re:BRIGHT AND EARLY
Post by: JoseSPiano on February 11, 2006, 08:58:17 PM: And, once again, a Big Thank You to DR FJL for his kindness and generosity.

Watched the moguling, watched the speed skating, watched the pairs figure skating.

I wasn't terribly excited about any of the figure skating until the leading Russian couple took to the ice. I thought they were perfect. I don't care for the new scoring system, mostly because I've yet to understand how it works plus I miss the excitement of perfect scores.

And while I do like Bode Miller, is it necessary to see every stinkin' single practice run? I think I know about as much of that course as he does by now...

Good shopping vibes to DRGEORGE! Congrats on getting your check! I thought they said March! Gives me hope!!

Thanks! When I checked www.irs.gov the first time and saw the "receive money by March" date, it was more than two or so weeks after I had sent it in (by snail mail), so I thought that that would be enough time to get an accurate due date. It wasn't. I checked it again only a few days later and then it showed the updated due date of February 10. I was very happy. ;D

I didn't need to see it this time, but I said that I would take her, so I did...and she paid. Actually, I'm glad I did because afterwards, we went to Tower Records and I bought some stuff! I bought the US release of the original London cast recording of Billy Elliot: The Musical (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CS45RE/qid=1139724693/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/102-4779504-7364131?s=music&v=glance&n=5174) (it was on sale for $15.99, down from $19.99), the original London cast of Fings Ain't Wot They Used t'Be (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005QZMD/qid=1139724791/sr=11-1/ref=sr_11_1/102-4779504-7364131?n=5174), the original cast album of Oh!

I also got a cheap "War of the Worlds" DVD (I can't find it on amazon.com) that includes a CD of the Orson Welles radio broadcast (it was cheap). I also bought my niece a CD single of some singing group from England.

Post by: George on February 11, 2006, 10:43:49 PM: We headed south to Renton and stopped at See's Candy. Hilary (my niece) wanted some chocolates and marzipan for her mother (my sister) for Valentine's Day (yes, Jane, my sister loves marizpan, too!). I got a few things. ;) Then we went to Silver Platters just a couple of blocks down, but didn't get anything there. After that, we headed south again and stopped at Pepper at Ted Brown to see what music they had. My niece almost bought the songbook to Wicked but didn't and I did buy the songbook to Light in the Piazza. It was a total impulse purchase, because I could've gotten it $5 cheaper at amazon.com. Oh, well.

And that was my day of spending. When we were at Tower Records, there were probably five other CDs that I wanted to get, but I didn't. Even though I just got my income tax refund and could have afforded it all, I felt like I was getting too much. Maybe I have learned something from not having my credit cards for the last four years! ;)

Have you (or anyone) ever heard (or heard of) THIS (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000063TKR/qid=1139727457/sr=2-3/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_3/102-4779504-7364131?s=music&v=glance&n=5174) version of G&S's HMS Pinfore? According to the Product Description:

Original Cast recording of the World Premiere production. From HMS Pinfore by Gilbert & Sullivan, Adapted and Directed by Mark Savage. The Operetta is reset in the new gay Navy ("Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was a disaster, so president Al Gore is trying "Separate But Equal") They're docked in Palm Springs, CA. awaiting the arrival of their commander, the oh-so-PC Senator Barney Crank, Democrat of Maryland. Spicing up the mix are the only straight sailor on board, Dick Dockstrap, the Captain's dress-wearing son, Joseph, and three new cross-dressing recruits. When both the Senator and the naive Dick set their sights on Josephine, the complications ensue. An obsession is revealed, an Elopement foiled, a crime confessed, and a Happy Finale ends it all.

Here's the picture:

I have seen Kevin Locke perform several times. He is an incredible hoop dancer.... I usually feel very out of place and get a LOT of looks when he performs for there are some in the crowds that do not trust the whites in the crowd...

Sad in a way but I do understand the reasoning. I am intringued and I enjoy the music... I like to explore different cultures, music...
