Well, you've read the notes, the notes had resonance and rhythm, and now it is time for you to post until the counting-down cows come home.

And a very happy haineshisway.com birthday to former dear reader Maya. She defected to other boards, but we always liked her and it's too bad she forsook us.

I've been listening to "the Soho collection" today. It's a collection of greatest songs from musicals sung by British performers.
Tonight's DVD is yet to be chosen.

I shall reach 22222 before toddling off to the bedroom environment.

Welcome six GUESTS. We're talkin' about CDs and DVDs.

Paul McCartney's brother Mike McGear's group (Scaffold) had a hit with "Lily The Prink". Of course that may have been Pink.

Bk has disappeared . Perhaps he has mislaid and is looking for his six posts.

There is a programme on TV at the moment - about Ukelele Clubs here in Australia. Perhaps DR Ben's partner Ant. will set up a club on the Island of Long or in Chelsea.

When I was preteen, the Victorian Banjo Club here in Melbourne would have had thousands of members - many of whom played the ukelele or the mandolin.

I was perusing eBay - always interesting things to look at.

A mere four more postings.

Since I'm tired, I may as well just get them done.

I'm listening to my iPod, something I haven't done in months. I forget what lovely music I've got in there - and I need to update it because I've put lots more into iTunes in the last few months.

Well, this is the penultimate posting of the evening.

And here it comes: Post number 22222. I like the way that looks, don't you? It shall stay until I arise in the morning.

And the word of the day is: PRINK!

Casey would waltz
With a strawberry blonde
Who had PRINKED herself to a faretheewell
In pink satin, rose silk, and silver lame...
and forgotten to zip up the back of her dress.
Fortunately, Casey's hands were warm, if wandering.

I've no idea why I woke up at four thirty this morning.

I've also no idea why I couldn't get back to sleep, just kind of laying there, dozing a little and giving the doggies cuddle time.

TOD -

Book - Bill Buford's Heat. He's about to head off to Italy, to learn how to make fresh pasta. Someone on-line (elsewhere) has said that this is where they got bored and put the book down. I think that someone was from NYC, however, and only wanted the dirt on Mario Batali. Wrong reason to read the book.

I'm not sure what we've got in the DVD stack right now. $:-\$

Good morning, all! I'm sleeping too late the past few days. and I have been pondering the possible reasons. There have been peculiar dream as well, the last of which last night had to do wth recording the Brel song "Brussels." Oy!

This evening, I'm having dinner with my friends Cathie and Alice, so I need to wrap their Christmas gifts this afternoon as well as do a bit of laundry. I think I will go back to the NYPL till tomorrow.

TOD:
DVD: THE BEGGAR'S OPERA
CD: Teresa Stratas Sings Kurt Weill, Guy Haines,
VCR: Cheap porn

Friday morning greetings! Another work day. I've discovered, throughout this first holiday season in my "new" position as a specialist, that this is a very slow time for me at work. I should have taken this week off.

TOD - CDs(car) Barry Manilow Greatest Songs of the Sixties and Bryn Terfel Tutto Mozart, both Christmas presents from my DS Rob.

DVD - Broadway's Lost Treasures Collection, a Christmas gift from DH Richard. We also have more episodes of season 1 of The Closer, borrowed from the library. Our DVD player clonked out on Christmas Eve, so DH Richard and I are on the lookout for a good buy on a DVD/VCR combo. In the meantime, we can watch our DVDs on one of the 4 computers in the house.

Congratulations to BK on his all-2 milestone - I just noticed that this post is my #4000!

BK, Mr. Donner one called me the most disrespectful writer he ever met. It came in the wake of a conversation about a series of what I felt were illogical re-writes he wanted me to make and he said: "Now are you going to write what we tell you or not?" I replied: "You don't need me for that, Dick, you can get secretary to do that." I actually enjoyed Dick, but I don't think I'd want to do a movie with him...leastways, not the one we were working on.

Me, too, but I'm allowing myself to to get over this 48 hour virus thing and recharge. It's such a luxury to get 9 hours sleep, snuggled up with DH and a few cats! I've had a very hectic last few months, with double sessions almost every day, but going into the new year, I only have a few days of work booked. That's kind of scary but I hope to use the down time productively to get the house finished so we can move!

Hmmmm...I might pick that book up!

Good morning dear elmore, Edi, and FJL -- I hope everyone has a splendid day as we enter into this sometimes crazy weekend.

TOD :

DVD - A Monk episode......and I have some Sopranos to catch up
with.

CD - I've been revisiting "A Wonderful Guy" and listening in detail
to the glorious elements in the arrangements and orchestrations,
and the way the Haines voice makes the lyric real and warm!

MusicGuy · « **Reply #26 on:** December 29, 2006, 08:12:12 AM »

Dear Edi -- what part of the Atlanta area is your new house in?

And why the hell can't I seem to write a sentence that doesn't end in a preposition??

MusicGuy · « **Reply #27 on:** December 29, 2006, 08:13:34 AM »

Or, I should have said.... a preposition is what all of my sentences end with !

JMK · « **Reply #28 on:** December 29, 2006, 08:17:50 AM »

I've always loved Jerry Goldsmith's theme to Room 22222.

DVD: I watched The Miracle at Morgan's Creek for the first time yesterday. What a wonderful pushing of the 1943 envellope. Then I started The Five Pennies, starring former DR Susan Gordon.

CD: Making it through all my holiday presents. Currently listening to the contemporary Christian group Jars of Clay, who remind me of a cross between America, mid-career Beatles and late-career Tears for Fears.

Book: Finishing up Misquoting Jesus, a fascinating history of scribes and how they sometimes intentionally and unintentionally changed the New Testament.

DR MBarnum, thanks for watching Jay's movie! I'm glad you liked it. He financed it all himself and it's been almost a 4 year labor of love that he has managed to fit in around his job of editing and co-producing "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" for the Cartoon Network. He has screened at lots of festivals and is distributing the film himself. (His editing room is piled high with boxes of DVD's!) We've been at 3 festivals together, so it's been fun to catch up. (He used to be the edit assist at a post house that was my base of operations for many years.)

His website: http://www.stompshoutscream.com has reviews of SSS and a journal he has kept since a few weeks before starting the film. It's a great insight into the mind of someone who is launching a huge endeavor, not knowing if anyone besides himself will even appreciate his movie. Fortunately, he has found lots of fans!
