DR elmore3003 - I'm sorry about the chart.  But I'm confused.  Wouldn't setting the key signature be dictated by the person commissioning the job before you even start working?

Will you still be paid for your work?

The orchestration job I mailed out yesterday is fine.  I'll be paid for it.

The "New York NY" problem is because of difficulties with other rental agents and the request for a fast NYNY fix for the benefit.  These damned galas are aklways the same: months of planning and yadayada and then a mad rush which stresses out everyone a week before performances because of changes - in this case a too-removed musical director - and dropouts.  Nothing was asked yesterday about the keys for the NYNY orchestration, and the MD should have been involved in the discussion, not just the producer. I was asked simply "do you have one we can rent?"  The answer was yes.  I sent them a recording of the Chorus doing the piece and the MD decided the key was too high for his six Dallas Divas.

But a further question that should be asked:  What do our "in office" politicians have to say to the grieving family. They're the ones responsible for changing things.  The "candidates" cannot be responsible for promising to fix ALL society's ills when the governing bodies that actually do the lawmaking ignore the problems.

Point well taken.

I had a gay friend who married a Swedish woman so she could come to America and work. They never lived together; in fact, he never heard from her after about five years.

I know this happens. It's the melodramatic seduction that I object to (if it happens). She's been eyeing them both like ice cream cones in the last couple of episodes where they've all appeared, and I know she has "designs" on them. Whether it's to become an American or whether it IS a grand plan designed by Colonel Meyer to get his son hitched, I'm not quite sure. But there's something "off" about her, and I despise how STUPID all of the other characters are who can't see her machinations. She's too needy for them all to buy this act hook, line, and sinker.

And what happened to the plan to go to the prison and ASK Colonel Meyer about her. They're taking the word of a complete stranger on face value. Another stupid plot machination.

This is but one of many plot stupidities on this soap, but they're common to all of them.  What about the plot to get the black lady to confess and that idiot Vienna's jumping into bed with another man? If she and her lover were so close, why didn't he tell her he was helping his family? I don't recall seeing a good soap since ALL MY CHILDREN in the early 1970s.

...I know a British lesbian who married a gay man for a green card ...

Well, that's better than selling it for green stamps. (Remember those?)

DR JMK, hope things work out with TV and personal health. How ironic to have both systems ailing at the same time!

;)

Thanks--and, yes, it just occurred to me it's the left speaker on the tv and my left ear which are out of whack.  I am my TV.  :)

In other news... I think I'm going to try to get my luggage packed for my trip tomorrow to Chattanooga this afternoon.  Or not.  But it would be nice just to have tonight "free".  We shall see.

Last night I had a very nice telephone call from the very E and T DR Rodzinski...all is going well in the life of the RAGE OF THE WEREWOLF star. In fact more then just well...he is in fact engaged to get hitched come this October!!!

His fiance is a reporter for Fox Business News, and no doubt she is a swell gal.

He sends his regards to everyone and promises to return soon!

I think that my first cast recording purchased was just a few years back...perhaps the new version of FLOWER DRUM SONG.

First lady singer would be BONNIE TYLER'S Faster then the Speed of Light album

That is all I can think of.

As for the Topic of the Day...

First LP I believe was some K-Tel disco compilation I ordered off the TV.  -And then found out what the meaning of "C.O.D." a few weeks later.  Well, my mom found out what that meant.  ;)

First 45 - I think it was either Peaches & Herb "Reunited" or Chic's "Freak Out".

First OCR - I think it was Sweeney Todd. Although, it might have been Pippin now that I think of it.

Like many 'my age', the Mary Martin Peter Pan was the first musical I saw(on TV)and the next day my father took me to the city library to check out the record.And that was the pattern for years.Money was tight and my father thought the 79cent LPs they sold at the supermarket were fine(and some were quite nice)The first LP I OWNED was the SOUND OF MUSIC OBC. I can still remember how thrilled I was, esp after overhearing my father tell my uncle Pat, "You won't believe it Pat but it cost 5.27$ for just the one record", 2nd LP that was my own personal property was a birthday gift from my godmother, MARY MARTIN SINGS>RICHARD RODGERS PLAYS, which I still listen to on CD;I was a Mary Martin junkie, and now, BK,thanks to TOD, I'll be jonesing on showtunes for the rest of the week.

I'm sure it's all in the Kritzer books, but the first 45 male vocalist I remember buying was Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel, but I also used to get tons of free 45s from my father's various jukeboxes, so it may have been something else.  Female was probably either Theresa Brewer's Bell Bottom Blues or Giselle McKenzie's Hard To Get.

First cast album that I actually bought would have probably been Subways Are For Sleeping.  First soundtrack probably would have been Ben-Hur.  First classical was definitely The Moldau, conducted by Eugene Ormandy.

And even though they weren't cast albums per se, I bought all the Ed Sullivan versions of shows.
