Yes, an accusation he and Hercule Poirot must contend with at all times.

Chet Clark was a very run-of-the-mill artist. He didn't meet with success in Oz.
He appeared on Six O'Clock Rock which was compered by Johnny O'Keefe known to some DRs through "Shout" the bio musical which starred David Campbell.

Judy Cannon, listed on the LP cover, was in the London production of Gypsy with Angela Lansbury in 1973.

Perhaps by nationality...but he was born IN Paris.

Any nationality born IN the U.S. is American born.

Thank you for the link DR Ben!

Dame Julie is taking her bloody time to write her book which was promised quite a few years back!

Now... I think that stopping at My Fair Lady is a BIG mistake! Who wants to read about Julie Andrews from age 0 to age 22?

The TOD reminded me that I had never purchased the orchestral version of Milhaud's Le Boeuf Sur le Toit on CD. When I went to look for it, lo! I discovered there was a 2 piano version! Can anyone recommend a recording of this?

I have Bernstein's recording which also includes La Creation du monde but I also like this Hyperion recording with the New London Orchestra because it includes Le Carnaval de Londres, Milhaud's arrangement of music from The Beggar's Opera.

DR Tomovoz, DR Francois can carp about the Belgian Brel not being French all he wants to, but the songs have French texts and I would guess the arrangements and often co-writers are French.  Is a song with a French text and a British composer, such as Les Illuminations a French song? Beats me.

Brian is very similar to "BRAIN", which you will hear mentioned in these parts from time to time. We have some notoriously bad typists here, (me included) so keep that in mind if you see yourself mentioned.

If i/m in the right spot I love Bizet's Carmen(Leotyne Price) and Kurt Weill's song from Marie Galante(on teresa Stratas' Unknown Kurt Weill

Again! Are J'attends un navire and Le roi d'Aquitaine from the German Kurt Weill's French show Marie Galante French or German songs?

Thanks, DR Elmore! I will pick up one of those. Maybe you or Jose can recommend one of the two piano 4 hands versions? Just the IDEA of it is very exciting to me

I am not carping about anything, I am just -- well, I did not, DR Tomovoz did -- saying that he was Belgian because his writing and his singing,his inspiration and his sensitivity were very Belgian; that's all! Of course, he spent most of his short career in France and I am rather "proud" that people think he was French.

re: so you think you can dance

Quote from: JoseSPiano on June 14, 2007, 11:44:47 AM
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.

I don't care about their personal stories.  What i meant was that i like to know everybody by name/ know what they've done leading up to now in the competition.

I think it really sucks that we were not given the chance to watch every step of ALL the dancers.

They are making up for it a bit by going back now.  But i would have rather gotten to see everybody's dancing before last night.

The reason I asked was because I met him when I was in LA...and I knew nothing of his career until yesterday when I finally too a look at his website. I had run into he and his lady friend while shopping in Burbank and we talked for quite a long time as his lady friend turned out to be a 1950s actress that I liked.

I'm back to THE CLOSER, Season 2.  I swear Frances Sternhagen is channeling Miss Daisy, which I saw her perform with the wonderful gentleman Earl Hyman, a really wonderful man.  I'm very fond of him, and I love Frances; she's one of my favorite actresses and always adorable whenever I see her, but I can't call her a friend even though I'm friendly with her two sons Tony and Paul, who is on the Kritzerland AFTER THE BALL.

I was worried about upsetting you!  A lot of Brel's songs are co-written with others so he can't take full credit for a lot of them.

I've not checked the website but it always amazes me how much invention goes into the past successes of pop artists and the heights of their success.  I've read a few where the artists have had #1 records in Australia (in reality they were lucky to have made it to #40)
