Well, you've read the notes, the notes had speed and pace, not necessarily in that order, and now it is time for you to post until the speedy cows come home speedily in their Speedos.

Good Morning!

Although it is Friday here in the US of A, it is my Monday.  Yes, I am coming off of my weekend which was spent watching the following things on dvd:
SOUTH PACIFIC IN CONCERT - I love Reba.  What can I say?  I love the natural twang she brings to Nellie, even if it is Oklahoman not Arkansasian.
THE JOHN WAYNE - JOHN FORD COLLECTION's bonus features.  BK, you must tell Mr. Redman how much I enjoyed his contribution to THE SEARCHERS.  The PBS docu ain't too bad, either.
ZODIAC - from Netflix.  A waste of time.  Though David Hess is in it, looking old and haggard.
KUCH NAA KAHU - also from Netflix, but one that I will eventually own.  It's a charming musical with catchy songs and lovely cinematography.
HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL - Kenny Ortega has come a long way since NEWSIES; Alyson Reed has come a long way since the film of A CHORUS LINE and Broadway's MARILYN.

Musically speaking, I've been listening to:
THE PETE SEEGER SESSIONS from Bruce Springsteen
THE DROWSY CHAPERONE - a bit twee, but fun.
SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE -  2006 London recording, at first off-putting because of the accents, but glorious when it gets going.

As for Maxwell Caulfield - well any time he spends putting ON clothes is wasted as far as I am concerned.

Hi DR td.

As for the DVD Release announcement made by DRMBARNUM yesterday.

There is nothing like seeing a chimp in a trench coat and fedora and another chimp in a dress and ruffled panties chasing each other through tall flowers in slo mo while a soundtrack plays "Rollin' in the Clover"....Lancelot Link is essential viewing.

TOD:

iPod:  SONG OF SINGAPORE and the Deutsche Grammophon ON THE TOWN, neither of which I've heard before.

Tivo:  All from PBS:  a Sammy Davis Jr clip show,  a documentary on Connie Mack Stadium and Chris Botti (and friends?)

I'm not generally a fan of the concert events that PBS broadcasts these days--I find them to be mostly pablum.  But this Chris Botti concert was quite good--he is an excellent jazz trumpetist and he plays along side a line-up of some wonderful guest vocalists (Gladys Knight, Jill Scott, Sting.)  Give it a shot when it's shown in your area.

I may be getting too absorbed in all the Tony awards race handicapping, or else it was just too early in the morning.  I got my daily entertainment email and could have sworn the headline was MURDOCH BETS ON CHITA, and I thought that's a gutsy move for the Best Actress race.  (Of course, when I read the article, it was actually "Murdoch bets on China.")

Good morning, all!  Welcome back, DRtd.  You've been missed.

I slept late this morning, so I'm rather disorganized at the moment.  I know I have a trip to Toyland to work on piano reductions of dances for The Lady of The Slipper, and then a trip to NYPL that I postponed from yesterday in order to clean the apartment and do laundry.

Dear Friend BK, soaptalk sounds like a perfect venue for Mr Ashford to discuss the new DECEIT DVD.

TOD:
  CD:  Guy Haines, Jule Styne in Hollywood, Susan Reed, soundtrack to LILI
  DVD:  The Virgin Spring, Arms & The Man
  VCR:  packed away till September (sob!)

I like a lot of the ON THE TOWN recording.  Although I think the Bernstein recording with John Reardon, Comden & Green, et al is close to definitive, "Some Other Time" is better on Michael Tilson Thomas' recording since it doesn't have the pitch problems when the singers break into harmony.

Dylan went to his first screening last night:  the new Troma flic POULTRYGEIST.
