Someone alert the copyright police. It's in "I've Got Me" from Beggar's Holiday, too (music by Duke Ellington).

Well, maybe LaTouche figured BEGGAR'S HOLIDAY would never resurface and what Jerome Moross didn't know wouldn't hurt him. Does that demo recording go into how little is Ellington and how much is Billy Strayhorn?

In the last picture, the enormous pile of snow next to the garage is actually a car. You wouldn't be able to tell from that picture though!

You're absolutely correct. It looked like a blue shadow. Isn't he in THE DESERT SONG?

So sorry to read that, DR Jane.

DR Tomovoz wrote: " Crawford did not really "sing" in Forum and Dolly."

Well, what he did was SUPPOSED to be singing, but I agree, that's not really singing. Don't know what it is really except VERY unpleasant. Screeching perhaps?

Speaking of THE DESERT SONG, has anyone heard the recent NEW MOON recording?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILLIAM F. ORR!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRAIG BROCKMAN!!

Hi Arnold MBrockman .

Thank you DRLaura & Panni

Jennifer thanks and I’m glad Coco is improving.

DiT I received your message, thank you.

Echo is doing better since we put her back on the prednisone. The doctor wants to do more tests to determine what kind of cancer she has before treating her. Now we have decisions to make. We can guess without the tests and hope we are right. I would like to give her more prednisone but we can’t increase it until after the tests as it could interfere with them.

Jose those cookies sound good so I saved the recipe.

JRand I’m so pleased Holly the Zaftig Sharpei is recovering.

Elmore feel better.

Michael Shayne, glad you are felling so well.

I've been tempted to get it, but so far I've resisted the temptation. I got that Decca Broadway reissue a year or so ago which might be all THE NEW MOON I need in my collection.

However, if anyone has bought this new complete version, I'd love to read your thoughts on it.

Good Afternoon!

Make that Four!

Make that Three!

-I hope that's right, I've lost count.

I don't/didn't mind Crawford in POTO, but some of his studio albums have literally made me cringe at times with some of his more "dramatic" phrasings.

As for Josh Groban... Since most men's voices don't really mature until around age 30.... Who knows? Maybe he'll end up being a basso profundo... or end up doing the countertenor route?

Elmoore, now you've got me really curious--first, no, it doesn't mention Strayhorn (it's the OBC demo with Drake--evidently an LP was never cut of the score). I just jotted down the first 2 measures of this version. Are they the same as Moross'?

I just returned from the vet specialist where Echo had x-rays and an ultrasound before being diagnosed with cancer.

I'm very tired.

Nope! Not even close to the Moross tune. It's recorded on WINDFLOWERS: THE SONGS OF JEROME MOROSS (PS Classics).

DRMattH, I don't believe the new recording of THE NEW MOON is complete; I understand a lot of cuts were made. I haven't seen the recording in stores, but I guess it's out.

DRJMK, according to a bio of Strayhorn from around 6 years ago, Ellington was never around the BEGGAR'S HOLIDAY rehearsals and most of the score is by Strayhorn. My favorite version of THE BEGGAR'S OPERA, after Brecht and Weill in the Blitzstein version, is Benjamin Britten's.

Oy, I have tried resizing this frigging thing about 12 times and it's either tiny or huge. What's goin' on (as Marvin would say?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #193 on:** December 23, 2004, 03:25:29 PM »

DR Jane - I'm sure that whatever decision you end up making for Echo will only come out of care and love.

-When is your son due in town again?

JMK · « **Reply #194 on:** December 23, 2004, 03:26:21 PM »

Figured it out--evidently it stores the original version and you have to change the filename if you change the size. Oy.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #195 on:** December 23, 2004, 03:27:21 PM »

...Oh, I guess what I never understood about the Crawford "mystique" was/is his status as a sex symbol among some of his fans - both female and male! Tom Jones, yes, that's comprehensible. Michael Crawford... Hmmm...

-DR Danise - Remember, that's what make horse-racing!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #196 on:** December 23, 2004, 03:33:43 PM »

Write your review Deity JMK!

Hopefully Holly's cancer has been abated. I guess we will know in the next few months.

DRJOSE we will work on getting the snow out by April. Mamma Mia!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #197 on:** December 23, 2004, 03:34:00 PM »

DRs Ginny and Joey - THANK YOU FOR THE SNOW PICTURES!!!

-Reminded of those great snowfalls we'd get in Ledyard, CT. We were at the bottom of the street which was a nice hill - perfect for sledding! And in our backyard, we had this sort of pit area where after a few days, we would have a mini ice-rink form as the snow settled and melted. Oh, those were the days at 13 Kennedy Drive!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #198 on:** December 23, 2004, 03:36:23 PM »

Well... I now know what I will be getting myself for Christmas.. A new cell phone... It still works, but the display goes blank as soon as I pick it up... Ah, well...

OK - Time for me to head in for tonight's show.

Laters.... And from Richmond!

Pardon my non-knowledge but why will DR Jose be coming to Indianapolis? He has gone off to his show and I just do not have the patience to wait that long.

Sorry to hear about Echo. ~Healing Vibes~

(I am a one man walking grammar accident tonight! Sheesh!)

Have we had enough choices on the topic of the day? I don't think so.

I am back and perfectly coiffed. I am once again kempt.

I just ate two marzipan chocolate bars that my former husband and his present wife sent me. Is that civilized, or what?

DR Joey, we need DR JRand54 to supply the info; I'm not sure if DRJose is playing a show or doing some kind of a workshop. I think DR JRand54 knows more than I. TOD? What is it again?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #204 on:** December 23, 2004, 04:09:34 PM »

DRJOEY - Jose will be playing in the pit of MAMMI MIA! when it comes to Clowes Hall in April.

Well, the gesture was civilized, but I think eating both counts as gluttony, especially when you could have sent a close friend in NYC one of them.
