And as a result, she was a victim of that Russian VD, rochakokoff!

Oh!

Who knew I could tell a joke and turn out to be the straight man?  ;D

Good morning!

When I woke up, it was bright and sunny outside. By the time I finished reading the newspaper, clouds had moved onto the scene, and it looked like rain. Now, as I sit in the kitchen and look out my greenhouse window, it's blue skies again.

I don't know what's going on.

RE: BROTHERS & SISTERS. I suspect that performance last night will be an Emmy submission episode for Sally Field. She got to crack jokes, play naive, and then lower the boom on everyone. Quite a range of emotions in one episode.

For Michael Caine's lousy track record, I think it's safe to say he's now taking just about any film that's offered him, very much like Laurence Olivier did in the latter stages of his career.

Let's not forget thatg Michael starred in two of the absolute worst sequels in movie history: BEYOND THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE and JAWS: THE REVENGE. He also lent his presence to one of the all-time worst disaster movies (THE SWARM) and one of the all-time worst horror movies (THE HAND).

Good morning Esteemed, sung-out, read-through, and morning-"gogged" BK --

I'll hold good thoughts for your read-through this afternoon.  I wish I were in L.A. and could sit like a mouse in the corner, because I really like to see a play evolve from the first read-through to the actual opening.

Have a great time, and don't over-do the vocal chords for the next few days.

Really cannot comment on the topic of the day. Other than "The Messiah," I really am not familiar with any other classical choral pieces.

But I'm glad we've got some music experts on ths site who can illuminate some great ones for us.

TOD :

The "Easter scene" from Cavalleria Rusticana

"Libera Me," and "In Paradisium" from Faure's Requiem

and I know that this last one isn't really the right form for TOD, but.....

"Vocalise" by Rachmaninoff, as sung by Anna Moffo.  No words, just an open vocal tone and beautiful orchestra behind it.  Even though Anna could be a spitfire, her sound on this is FABULOUS and DIVINE !  There -- I have now used 2 of my favorite cliche'd gay words in the same sentence!

DR Music Guy,
Haven't heard Anna Moffo do Vocalise, but I haven't heard a version of it I didn't like. It's beauty grabs me every time. I'll look for the AM recording.

Monday morning greetings!  I'm due at work at noon - it was nice to have a little sleep-in on our first day back from our trip.

Thanks to DRs Cillaliz and Vixmom for the NYC photos - I'll have a couple to add when I find the cable that connects my camera and computer.

Welcome home to North America to DR Michael S!

TOD - Messiah, of course, and Elijah and Bach's Christmas Oratorio.  Some of John Rutter's choral arrangements of specific songs, none of which I can remember right now.  We sang many of them when Richard and I were in the choir at First United Methodist Church here in Middletown.

I'm driving to the lunch site today (instead of being picked up by other friends), so I need to get off-line and get cleaned up for my outing soon.

DR FJL - what were some of the reactions to IMITATION OF LIFE at summer camp?  Did everyone go back to the cabin and write a letter to his mom?

If we're heading into vocalise territory, what about Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasieleros No 5 for soprano and 8 celli?

I also forgot Faure's Requiem.  My brain is definitely slower these days.

The choral piece that was written for the Doris Day-James Stewart THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH is very entertaining.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!!!!!!










Very difficult tasks last night.  I kept hoping it would be a non-elimination round.  We lost a very fun team - but they took it well.  I'll miss them.

Yes DRMBARNUM - I thought you had a Gene Barry in person signature, even though he didn't know where he was when he was signing. :)
