BEST PRODUCER: Mark Bakalor for "BABY..."

Am I missing something? Is Mr. Bakalor a father?!?!

Yes, Jason. A little girl, I believe.

When did THAT happen??

Not sure what the melodic intent was above, but the one that went through my head was to "Rose's Turn" (Momma's lettin' go, Momma's doin' fine....).

As for what you sing instaed of "Harry Beaton"....was it something dirty??? Or did you substitute "Henry Higgins"?

As for the alternate lyrics, just remember we were in high school, so....

For "Jeannie's packing up, Jeannie's moving out..." just substitute "putting" for "moving"...

And as for "Harry Beaton"... Well, let's just say he instead of being "on" he was "off"...

Ah, the joys and foibles of adolescence! -And in a Catholic high school no less!?!?!?

Oh, and a Topic of the Day update:

Music to pack by: Donny Osmond's "Somewhere in Time" - I just love the whole retro-ness of this album.

And now from the ridiculous to the sublime: Avenue Q OCR.

DR Jrand - As for Amish Acres doing State Fair: Yes, it was quite the big deal. Richard Pletcher, the producer and owner of Amish Acres somehow managed to secure the rights to the show before anyone else - and they weren't even "publicly" on the market yet. That was actually quite a big season for them since they brought in Scott Schwartz to direct The Baker's Wife too - and had his father, Stephen, come in for the opening night. And the stage there is actually named in honor of Joseph Stein. If anyone is interested, you can check out:

www.amishacres.com

And to tie this thread up, I made a very dear friend that summer, Leigh. -And trust me, at that time, we all needed good friends.

OK - Back to packing. Clothes are done - Now for the kitchen... *I'm afraid I'm going to have to throw away a bunch of perishables - I hate when that happens, but I'll see what I can throw into a cooler with some ice. -OH, and then it's on to all the "little things" that have accumulated over the past 12 weeks.. Hmm... Maybe I will head back in the morning.. Hmmm...

DVD...Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, a TV play with Jack Palance...the best Jekyll & Hyde I've ever seen.

How exciting! A very young me is in that film! You won't find me if you blink (in a couple of scenes) - but what fun it was. I've posted before about how I almost missed one of my mother's weddings because rehearsal ran over and Tessie O'Shea stole my cab. And how Jack Palance refused to let a stunt double run across the rafters and he (Palance) fell to the very hard floor of the CBC studio, badly injuring his back so that he couldn't even lift the girls (including me - and I ain't heavy).

Lovely reminiscences of Cully.

TCB - Your HHW/Tony Awards are not at all lame. They're quite wonderful (except that I don't get one - but you're forgiven.)

Panni · « **Reply #130 on:** June 04, 2004, 01:18:07 PM »

Now the big question is... Do I go out to find some lunch and interrupt my writing - I actually STARTED the script - ended the endless notes and STARTED THE SCRIPT. Cheers, please. But now I'm famished. Dare I go out? Or shall I forage in the house?

If I go out, will I have trouble getting started again? Or will it actually help?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #131 on:** June 04, 2004, 01:29:50 PM »

It will help.

TCB I also thought your HHW Tony Awards were clever...even though I didn't get one either.

-Just brought my Pilates "machine" and the two big bags of clothes down to my car.

TCM has shown the complete TARZAN AND HIS MATE before, because I taped it. This was at least a year ago and maybe longer. It was actually around the time an uncut videotape of TARZAN AND HIS MATE was released, so that would probably make it something like three or four years ago before DVDs became so popular.

I spent a lovely afternoon inside (it's raining off and on here and overcast) watching THE DRESSER. Albert Finney was tremendously better than I remembered him being when I saw the film in the theater all those years ago.

I think I'm going MAD sooner than expected. I got my mail (nothing from JR yet!) and as I was carrying it in I heard music playing from the packages. I assumed it was another one of those trick Emmy tapes (like the singing Joan of Arcadia). But now I've opened all the packages - the final FRIENDS episodes, "24"; ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT...and none of them is a musical package. Was I hallucinating that my mail was playing upbeat tunes?... Possibly.

That's not an acceptable Tony speech, bk! Everybody thanks God and agents and parents and significant others... You thank no one? In this instance, thanking your (weird) parents would for once be quite appropriate. Just think, if you'd had a "normal" childhood with a father who wore underwear around the house and a mother who only used hangers for hanging clothes, what mundane books you'd have.

The parents from Mars?

DR PANNI do you hear music and there's no one there?
Do you smell blossoms and the trees are bare?

Ask Irving Berlin he knows, you're not sick.....

1st Class Mailed Tuesday and still not in CA by Friday? Must be coming by Pony Express.

That's... well... ummm... don't know what to tell you, Panni, that's just plain odd.

So very pleased I am that ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT has been picked up for a second season!

Count me in as another DR enjoying the Hungarian posts.

I am waiting for a call to pick Echo up from getting groomed. I dropped her off at 10 this morning and just returned from running errands. If the call comes in I shall be off again before catching up on the posts.

Dan-in-Toronto the window washing story was funny. I wish the story of the boy was.

Panni your guest house looks charming and cute, cute pic of Abie and the sheep.

Well, I'm done packing - more or less - well, thankfully, more than less, so... I'm also thinking that I'll just stay the night here instead of heading back to Richmond in the wee hours of the morning. This way I can also spend some time with my nephew in the morning - and drop off some of the perishables that would have no problem making the ten minute trip to my parents house, but would probably not survive the two hour trip back down to Richmond. *And I won't have to feel bad about throwing away all that food.

Well, time to get ready for the final show...

How about some of our own Tony Awards?

Best Book: BK for ?The Triplets of Kritzerville?

Best Producer: Mark Bakalor for ?Baby?

Best Solo Performance: Danise for ?Alone in the Big Apple?

Best Supporting Roles (Tie): elmore3003 and Jane for ?The Phone Calls?

Best Musical (wedding): Noel and Joy in ?I Do, I Do.?

Best Revival: Ron as ?RLP?

........okay, maybe these are lame, but it was something different for Tony Weekend.

Well, it's an honor just to be nominated. Oh wait...

I am leaving now, Dear Readers, for a sojourn to Ojai, California to attend one of the concerts in this year's Ojai Music Festival.

(If I leave now, it will take me about 90 minutes to get there. If I leave in an hour, it will take me about three hours to get there!)

The concerts are held in an intimate outdoor amphitheatre. The second half of tonight's program is comprised of Die Kluge (which translates as "The Wise Woman"), a rarely performed opera by Carl Orff. Of course, Mr. Orff is best known for that perennial concert hall (and movie trailer) favorite, Carmina Burana.

I won't be home until late, so keep the home fries burning, Dear Readers out there in the dark.

CharlesPogue, I enjoyed your beautiful and interesting story of Cully. Thanks you for sharing.
I remember almost buying a dog at the pet store in Century City. I believe the store isn’t there anymore.

MBarnum we are waiting for a Fed-X delivery. It could arrive any moment. I wonder who will deliver our new camera. I’ll let you know.

I’m SO excited. I’m sorry I haven’t read notes/post yet but I have to jump ahead and share this with you all. I couldn’t wait to tell you about it.

Guess what I saw today?? A real live WATERSPOUT! I have always wanted to see either a waterspout or a tornado (not that I want anyone or anything to be hurt so I could see one) and I finely saw one!

It was so beautiful. It was just a small one. It looked about as thick as a pencil and only lasted a few minutes but it was something to see. So graceful. Like a ribbon floating in the sky.

Why, oh, why didn't I have my camera with me! I wish you all could have been there to see it.

I have to go tell some other people about it. Be back later!!!

I'm very logey right now, having eaten some cold pasta salad. I've done my spot of writing, so perhaps I'll watch Tiger Bay with Miss Hayley Mills.
