Hart Was Doyenne of the Arts and Showbiz

Quote

David Lewis, Miss Carlisle’s longtime piano accompanist, played Stephen Sondheim’s “Old Friends” — one of the first songs she and Mr. Lewis learned together — and Gershwin’s “The Man I Love.”

The reason for that one, Mr. Lewis explained, was something she had told him once: “When I die and there’s a memorial service,” he recalled her saying, “I want you to go to the piano and play ‘The Man I Love’ in my key. If I don’t come out on that stage, then you’ll know I’m gone.”

Stars shining bright above you
night breezes seem to whisper
I love you
Birds singin' in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me.

Say "nighty night" and kiss me
just hold me tight and tell me
you'll miss me.
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me.

Stars fading
but I linger on
dear
still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger til dawn
dear
Just saying this:

Sweet dreams til sun beams find you
sweet dreams that leave our worries behind you.
But in your dreams
whatever they be
dream a little dream of me.

And a lovely good morning to all of the studlies and lovelies, and assorted cookies...

I had a very nice dream last night, where my schedule for going out to dinner became kind of twisted up and complicated, because 2 "daytime male soap opera" stars were fighting about which one of them was my date for that night.

......LOOK !!! ..... it was my dream, so leave it alone !!

As for the TOD :

When I have kind of dark times (like recently), I love to listen to the "Libera Me" section of the Faure Requiem.

Gounod - "O Divine Redeemer"
Poulenc - Concerto for Organ, Strings, and Tympani
Bizet - "Carmen"
Debussy - Lots !
Ravel - Lots!

And I love the french popular song, that became translated and recorded in this country as "Hymn to Love" (I think??)

Hi Naomi..... you said something yesterday that really cracked me up. But I seem to have older "lovely brain tissues" and I can't remember what it was.

But thanks anyway!!

Thursday afternoon greetings! My morning was consumed with teaching the June edition of Grantseeking Basics. 19 people attended and they had great comments and questions.

TOD - The section of "Down at the Twist and Shout" that Mary Chapin Carpenter sings in French. This topic also reminds me about that old Streisand album, Je M'appelle Barbra.

I'm listening to David Shire's gorgeous score to Old Boyfriends. When I attended the first reading of what became Take Flight, I was sitting in the third row and David was about three rows behind me. At some point, Christiane Noll as Amelia Earhart began singing a gorgeous ballad - everyone sat, enthralled. I, of course, was the only one who knew immediately that dear David had "borrowed" his main theme from Old Boyfriends and used it for the ballad. I turned around and looked at him and smiled and nodded, and he sheepishly smiled and nodded back. Nothing like making use of a good tune.

Shortly I shall be on my way to the Kritzerland designer's home environment.

Streisand in foreign languages department: Does anybody remember how the classical album was first announced as Follow the Lieder, a much better title IMHO.

DR Elmore - thank you for introducing Charlotte to us! I've shared the video with DH Richard and with a couple of Harry Potter fans here at work.

DR Jose, i also enjoyed last night's SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE.

Who are your favorites?

I can't really say my absolute favorites yet. Since i really feel like i don't know most of them yet at all. That is my biggest complaint.

I thought the best routine of the night was the one wade did (with sara). That was so good. But in a way it's unfair that they get incredible choreography while others did not.

I really liked lacey and her partner doing mia's dance. And also really enjoyed the broadway number. I thought they were great.

I also love hok.

I'll be very interested to see who goes tonight. It's sort of sad for them. But i'm glad the judges get to make the final call.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #176 on:** June 14, 2007, 11:37:54 AM »

Good Afternoon!

Too bad it's not hot and sunny right now, or I'd head down to Chelsea in a tigh, white t-shirt.

NOT!

-But I do feel pumped!

Yep. Basically one for each skit. -And since there are up to 20 costume designers, there are also 20 or so teams of stitchers and fitters. Even though it's called "Broadway Bares", there's still some clothing involved.

Well, I don't really have a favorite right now either. However, I think not knowing most of them is a good thing. It helps to put everyone on equal footing from the start. You just simply judge them on their dancing. Not on who their father is. Not on what their mother did. Not on what kind of obstacle they had to overcome. It actually makes it seem like a real competition/audition - where most of the time, all you really know the contestant by is a number.

And I can tell that the choreographers have also stepped up their game too. Yes, there were some better routines last night, but there were really no bad ones. Even the "Smooth Waltz" was nicely choreographed.

*And, on a sort of personal note, one of my roommates works at Broadway Dance Center here in NYC, and he knows some of this year's finalists. And he's also working on Mia Michael's new website.

So, is that the "real" version? or the "el cheapo porno" version?
