I've also been thinking about a piece I want to write for my dad, so I need to do a bit of choral networking to see if any chorus is interested in premiering it when it's finished.

What a nice idea!

I listened to the first six cuts of THE BRAIN on the way to my dinner engagement. Very sprightly; lots of fun, and excellent singers.

Will we never get to page eight?

Good things happen to those who wait.

So very sad to read about Daniel McDonald. He was in a MURDER SHE WROTE episode as a young actor played a spoiled teenager (he was probably in his 20s at the time of filming) with Jean SImmons as his mother. Have loved him ever since.

I had tickets to STEEL PIER, but it closed before I could get to NYC. I did get to see him in HIGH SOCIETY, a poor show, but he was one of the bright lights of the production.

Favorite Livingstone and Evans:

"Silver Bells" and "Mona Lisa." I'd have put "Dear Heart," but I so associate it with Mancini.

It thrills me no end to read DR Ron's enthusiasm for his HDTV. I would hate to play up something as much as I do only to have someone get it and say, "well, it's OK, but it's not all it's cracked up to be."

We started the evening watching MAN VS. WILD on the Discovery Channel. Explorer/naturalist/survivalist Bear (oops, forgotten his last name) parachuted into the Alps and spent days trying to survive. The show has him putting himself into desperate survival situations each episode and showing how he makes everyday items into life saving pieces of equipment, and how he can live off the land under the harshest of circumstances. A pretty fascinating show that I had never seen before.

My friend John likes Natalie Portman a lot, but he had never seen CLOSER, so I showed him her strip sequence from that film. We watched it twice.

Matt H. · « **Reply #249 on:** February 16, 2007, 08:49:13 PM »

Then we watched V FOR VENDETTA which he also hadn't watched in its entirety. I wasn't sure whether he'd like it or not, but he said he liked it very much. I certainly think the film is full of ideas and good intentions, and I enjoyed my third time seeing it.

And I hope he will get hooked on the HiDef version of THE CLOSER!

Ray Evans favorites: Silver Bells, Theme from Mr. Ed, Que Sera Sera, Hey, Punchinello, Once Upon A Horse, Tammy, Dear Heart and of course, the theme to Bonanza!

He said that he and Jay wrote "The Cat and The Canary" when they were trying to write a Johnny Mercer-style song.

Our producer had just seen Ray 2 weeks ago out in LA at a Mercer Foundation meeting and said he was doing great, so it must have been pretty sudden. Not a bad way to go, at 92.

Friday is bring-your-lunch-to-school day, so there were lots of lunchboxes, but no plates. I am not eating my lunchbox.

We had a crier again. It was Quan this time. He calmed down after I said "dinosaur" to him.

And I'm not sure, but I think he might have said "tuchus" during lunch. It was hard to tell because his mouth was full of potato chips. (MY potato chips!)

vixmom · « **Reply #262 on:** February 16, 2007, 09:25:27 PM »

Did you little Quan (is that the right name?) learned any more English words? Have you learned any of his language?

As best as I can remember, I've heard Quan say six English words and possibly one Yiddish word.

Dinosaur
Frog
No!
Sponge Bob
Fish feet
Okay
Tuchus

Back from a lovelier than lovely dinner with Mr. Bert I. Gordon and his deelightful daughter, Christina. We spoke of many things, including what I thought would be a great project for him - and he has been thinking the same thing, so we'll see if we can make it happen.

I've written amazon about the review thing - Deceit, which I just listed and which is in preorder (I had to put a street date of next Tuesday) has the review button. Anyway, for those who will be kind enough to write reviews, please go ahead and write them and save them, then as soon as the button appears, you can post.
