Good Morning DR Edi -- Randy Newman wrote the theme song for "Monk" right?

As BK has said, the concert was a delight! I'm grateful that I got to be a part of it!* So many wonderful new sngs were sung by Alice, Emily did quite a few show tunes from classic, not-so-classic and possible-classic shows; making for a fine blend of material. Each gal had their own shining moments.
The after party affair at the Cafe 1 2 3 was also a true treat, Evil Twin and I stayed, and stayed as The Seigels chatted with us, Emily chatted with us (I'll be seeing her again in a few weeks, as she's doing a teaching gig at Carnegie Mellon!), Shannon, Alice's huuby, remembered me from the time chatted in Pittsburgh, Jonathan - today's HHW BIRTHDAY BOY, and Michael Dale from one the Broadway sites on line.
Janet and I walked Barbara Seigel to her cab, then called it a night.
I was having so much fun that I was oblivious to the come-on that had been heading my way all evening.

*as there was "an incindent" on the subway lines at 28th Street, the trains uptown weren't running, and Janet and I stood on a corner for twenty minutes before a cab could take us! great driver, a true lifesaver, got us to Town Hall and as we plopped into our seats - - Alice and Emily took to the stage! Incredible timing!

Can you post the program of songs?

Michael S-I didn’t need a faith healer, just Keith to go with me.

It was a short walk, but a walk. I stayed in bed late this morning & feel rested enough to go on my own, except I’m not sure I will have time to walk now.

Company arrives tomorrow and I need to figure out what to cook for someone on a zone diet.

First, DR Jane, you have to shop for some nice fresh zones...

I love David Copperfield. I even like the cheesey TV version from the '70's.

TNT did a nice adaptation a few years ago that I worked on doing their trailers and promos. Paul Bettany played Steerforth, which to me is always the most interesting character. He was great! I told the producer "This guy is going to be a big star". I'm happy to see he's done so well!

I love the BBC version with Maggie Smith and Daniel Radcliffe. but I'm quite fond of the MGM film as well.

And now that I've caught up with the posts, I must leave and finish removing EVERYTHING of mine from my old house. My sister wants it completely empty and then we have to clean it like it's never been cleaned before...because it probably hasn'tb een cleaned that thoroughly in a long time.

Re: "Heroes" and Cillaliz' query about my posting "Save the cheerleader...save the World"...this is a totally intriguing series about people around the world developing extraordinary abilities. An Indian scientist, mysteriously murdered, proposed a theory that humankind was about to make an evolutionary leap and that people with such powers would begin learning of them/experiencing them/experimenting with them.

The cheerleader is one character among several -- two of whom can fly, and one of whom can teleport himself in both distance and time. In previews for the upcoming episode, some of the other characters with powers begin receiving messages that read: "Save the cheerleader...save the world."

One of the characters is a drug-addicted artist who pains apocalyptic visions when he's high. His paintings are actually of the very characters we've seen, thus far. One of his paintings is of an apocalypse that this group is apparently being led toward preventing.

re: "Jericho" and MBarnum's query as to whether anyone else watches...YES! I won't miss an episode unless I can't help it. I haven't experienced any problems with the camerawork, although it's possible it's an effect the producers want to impart because of the nature of what's going on in this little town. I really like all the characters, thus far. The lead male character is my favorite!!

Good Morning DR Edi -- Randy Newman wrote the theme song for "Monk" right?

Right, "It's a Jungle Out There". He didn't write the original theme---this is the current one. I like it better, of course! But there was a lot of protest when they changed themes. It's funny how people grow so attached to them.

I have written and edited a gardening show, "A Gardener's Diary" for HGTV for 15 seasons. Every 5 years or so we'd do a whole new graphic treatment and new musical theme. The pieces were never that great to begin with, they sounded like library music, but still people would write and complain. I think it was because a lot of people leave their TV tuned to that network and would come in when they heard our theme and knew the show was starting.

There's a new Randy Newman piano book out that has the "Monk" theme and other music he's written for film and TV. Michael Roth (you may know of him, he does theatre music in La and NY) did all the piano arrangements and they are very true to Randy's complex playing style, where he manages to condense a whole orchestral arrangment into 10 happy fingers:

http://snipurl.com/103ow

When I went to the "Monk" writer's offices to record Tony Shalhoub as the voice of Sacco, Michael sent me an advance copy of the "Monk" theme which I gave to Tony and the show's creator, Andy Breckman. When I went in Andy's office, I saw that on his wall he already had a framed orchestra part from the scoring session, signed by Randy. They all love him there!

DR MBranum, here's a photo of Mr McGuire from HAIR! He's with Diane Keaton and Steve Curry, who married Shelly Plimpton, although Martha Plimpton's father is Keith Carradine, I believe. Ah, the days of HAIR!

And here's Mr McGuire with Hiram Keller who later was in Fellini's SATYRICON and Sally Eaton, who sang "Air."
