OH! DR JosePiano! Your friend... you know.... Yannick Rénier has a very small part in a new movie with songs (Les Chansons d'Amour) and he even manages to appear very briefly sans shirt!

I KNOW you'll want to see that film... for the songs ;) and for the cast who's fantastic, headed by dreamboat Louis Garrel;

There is a TV show called THE CLOSET?  Is it set in Salt Lake City?

No, it takes place in a closet.

DR Sandra, did you see the shower curtain we put up?

Nice! But I still say we should have gotten the one with the tassels.

RE: Roger Quilter's Folk Song Settings - and his Shakespeare settings, etc...  I do love them too, but, sometimes there's just too many notes - for the pianist!  ;)  "The Arnold Book of Old Songs" was practically a bible in my undergrad vocal studies.

*And there are some wonderful recordings of the Quilter songs on Naxos.

As for the Friday Media Check...

DVD: "Match Point"

CD - via my iPod:
The Puppini Sisters - "Betcha Bottom Dollar"
Michael Bublé - "Call Me Irresponsible" - There are some amazing horn charts on this album.  The second track, "It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera)" sizzles!
Lang Lang - Beethoven Piano Concertos No. 1 and 4
Barbabra Cook - "No One Is Alone" - I'm trying to think... Is this the first original post-Wally Harper album that Ms. Cook has done? Just curious.
Jessica Molaskey - "Sitting in Limbo" - I think the "The Circle Game/Waters of March" track is my favorite.  So far.  With the reimagining of Billy Joel's "Summer Highland Falls" a very close second.

And that's about all I had time to listen to on the train ride from New York's Penn Station to Richmond's Main Street Station.  ;)

Nope.  Well, at least not in coach.  I think internet access is only available in the First Class cars on the Acela trains.  -And since I didn't want to eat up all my Amtrak Guest Rewards points...

RE: Ms. Uggams "Bustin' Out"...

I can't remember if it was this year's or last year's Easter Bonnet Competition, but...

Sutton Foster came out to make an introduction, "Leslie Uggams was going to sing "June Is Bustin' Out All Over", but she hasn't learned the words yet."

:)

-And, yes, she does have a great sense of humor about that incident.

I began my evening of viewing with an ANGEL episode, this one continuing the indestructible demon. In this episode, we finally learned his true mission, to kill five primary auras and steal what they guard to cause the end of the world.

Things looked bad at the end of the episode, so this story arc isn't finished yet.

Next, I listened to the running commentary on the IF.... DVD. It's a combination of David Robinson's analysis and background information with Malcolm McDowell's comments added at important points. Combined, they make for a terrific, entertaining track.

At 8, TCM showed a mystery I've never seen before: GRAND STATION MYSTERY with a terrific cast including such MGM stalwarts as Van Heflin, Connie Gilchrist, Sam Levene, Tom Conway, Frank Ferguson, Cecilia Parker, and Virginia Grey.

I did figure out who committed the crime about halfway through the film, but not the method of murder. That was a surprise.

And throughout the film, I kept thinking that Heflin and Grey's parts could easily have been played by William Powell and Myrna Loy, and this could have been another THIN MAN mystery.

At 9:30, I put in DREAMGIRLS on Blu-ray and watched the first act (so to speak). Wanted to make sure it looked and sounded as good as it did before I installed the upgrade to the machine a few days ago. It did.

As for the train ride down, it was very pleasant if just a tad too long.  The car I got on turned out to have a group of high school junior and senior boys from Boston, who were heading down to DC for an end of the school-year trip.  Needless to say, they were a little rowdy, but since the train was full, I just took the first free seat I came across.  Thankfully, their teacher/chaperone kept them in order and under control during the trip from NYC to DC.  Most of them had iPods and Gameboys and Nintendos anyway.  Or they were making frequent trips to the Cafe Car.  In fact, their teacher turned out to be the "noisy one", since, like clockwork, she would yell out - in a wonderful Boston Back Bay accent! - "Get back in your seats!" "Don't block the aisles!" "Are you guys behaving!"...  And then when she discovered the very cute baby who boarded - with her mother - at Philadelphia...."OH!  Aren't you the cutest!" "Yeah! Look at your pretty Mommy!" "I just want to take you home with me!" etc., etc., etc.

At least it was entertaining.  And I had my iPod and headphones too. ;)

The "funniest" part of the trip was the trek from Richmond's Staples Mills Station to the recently opened Richmond's Main Street Station.  On the map, it's just about six miles from point to point.  But due to track work, and speed controls due to residential areas, the trip took about 20 minutes on the train.

But I'm here.

I remember getting into an elevator at Ripley-Grier one time with Tommy Tune and Larry Fuller.  The tallest choreographer in the business, and one of the shortest one.  *I think Baayork Lee is the shortest.  :)  Love ya, Connie Wong!
