I had unusual dreams last night as well....one of the most bizarre had a naked Matt Lauer reporting on the Today show from Africa and the camera man's questionable use of a close up lens.

And this is a problem...why??

Edisaurus' Murietta neighborhood gals caught!
BANK TELLER WAS IN ON 'BARBIE BANDITS' ROBBERY, COPS SAY

They should have been shoplifting "Clearasil" instead of robbing banks!

Maybe it's just all that stress from getting caught!

As DR Jose suggested, last night I downloaded and installed Finale NotePad and after a slight learning curve, I had a great deal of fun with it.  I was able to quickly copy the intro of "The Ladies Who Lunch" and it sounded pretty good.  There were a few instances where a slurred to note would disappear from the staff, but I could still hear it.  And it was getting late, so I just saved the file to its native .MUS type, so I'm not sure yet if it can be saved as a midi.  But overall, I think it's a much better tool than Cakewalk for my purposes.

Yeah!  It worked!  And you liked it!

As for saving as a MIDI file, I'm not sure NotePad has a "Save As" MIDI file option.  However, if you click on "File", then "Save As", if there's a "Standard MIDI" option there...

And, again, if you don't feel like spending the big(!) bucks for Finale 2007, PrintMusic should meet your needs nicely for about a fifth of the price.

DR Miss Karen, you just crack me up!

I knew from the time I met you at the Brain's opening night (do you even remember me??) that you would be such a wonderful additon to HHW!

You like me!  You really like me!   awww, I'm blushing  (Or are you just trying to kiss up now cause of my DR story...).  Of course, I remember you ... and all of you crack me up -- this site is such a hoot! (And I ain't kissin' up )

No one ever told me what DR meant.

Yes, DR Miss Karen, but you triumphed over that adversity and became a GODDESS, so you certainly showed THEM!

*  *  *

Did anyone else see A.O. Scott's wildly sarcastic review of the new movie, "Wild Hogs." in the New York Times?  The review is kind of a hoot.  Here's a teeny excerpt:

"The main thing about these guys — the main source of the movie’s fumbling attempts at humor — is that they’re not gay. Really. Seriously. No way. They may worry about people thinking that they’re gay, and they may do things that might make people think that they’re gay — dance, touch one another, take off their clothes, express emotion — but they’re absolutely 100 percent not gay. No no no no no no. No sir, I mean, no ma’am. That’s what makes it funny, see. "

The link is here, if you care to read the whole thing:
http://movies2.nytimes.com/2007/03/02/movies/02wild.html

And...by the way, BK, have you ever considered entering the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest - you know, the one for the [purposely] worst opening sentence for a [theoretical] novel?  With doozies like...well, anything about a gazelle...I think you'd have a good shot at the Grand Prize.

Toodles, all!

Speaking of caviar (and DerBrucer was), I saw on Paula Dean's show that Serendipity has a $1,000-per-serving ice cream sundae that features golf leaf chocolate as well as caviar among its ingredients.  

Maybe we should have this on the next walking tour, if it reaches the East side.

You mean this?

Quote
The Golden Opulence Sundae, the "World's most expensive sundae", was created to celebrate Serendipity's 50th Anniversay last year. (If you are paying attention, the 50th anniversary is the "golden" anniversary. Get it?)

Made with "5 scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla and covered in 23K edible gold leaf, the sundae is drizzled with the world's most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porceleana, and covered with chunks of rare Chuao chocolate, which is from cocoa beans harvested by the Caribbean Sea on Venezuela's coast. The masterpiece is suffused with exotic candied fruits from Paris, gold dragets, truffles and Marzipan Cherries. It is topped with a tiny glass bowl of Grand Passion Caviar, an exclusive dessert caviar, made of salt-free American Golden caviar, known for its sparkling golden color. It's sweetened and infused with fresh passion fruit, orange and Armagnac. The sundae is served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18K gold spoon to partake in the indulgenceserved with a petite mother of pearl spoon and topped with a gilded sugar flower by Ron Ben-Israel."

Last night, I dreamed about bright yellow goats with bright red spots who had learned the power of speech.

But then again, I had a fever.

DR DerBrucer and SWW - I think that "Concerto" series that Michael Tilson Thomas moderated and conducted is available on DVD too.  Great performers and performances.

And, in the "File under Unexpected Developments" category:

It is reported elsewhere on the web that Hal Prince's 1978 film adaptation of Sondheim's "A Little Night Music" will be released on DVD for the first time in June.  

Hoo and Ray!  It's not a great film, but it will be great to have it on DVD at last anyway.  And don't miss Jonathan Tunick's cameo in the opening moments...
