DR MBARNUM - I thought DR CP might like to see No No My Darling Daughter...and you are the only source for it I know. Might you send him a copy?

Good morning, all! Where the hell is the promised snow?

I slept badly with puzzling dreams, one about my dad, which I am hoping is not a preminition. I have vague memories of another involving Ted Chapin of the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization, a film based on Meyerbeer's opera LES HUGUENOTS, and a train station in Paris. It was quite frustrating.

So, today my agenda includes the NYPL, laundry, and God alone knows what else. I will haul the snowshoes, extra supplies and blankets back into storage.

TOD:
CD: The Brain rough mix, Guy Haines, Barbara Cook, Brahms Gypsy songs
DVD: Jeeves & Wooster Season 3, La Fille du Regiment
VCR: various things

There's some here in Ohio, DR Elmore. We'll try to keep it around until you get here.

Media report:

CD(car) - audiobook: Lauren (The Devil Wears Prada) Weisberger's Everyone Worth Knowing, narrated by Stina Nielsen. I gave up on Thirteen Moons after 3 discs because it was too similar to the audiobook I'd just finished, On Agate Hill. Also, I agreed with the reviewer in the Washington Post who said that it's longer and even more boring than Cold Mountain.

DVD - Friends and Family, Mad Hot Ballroom

Well DR EDISAURUS - I like most of the Adult Swim original programming on CN....but ATHF ain't one of them. I have tried to watch it, but I cannot understand ONE WORD that MeatWad says...NOT ONE WORD....I have tried several times, watched again last night to be sure...so I don't watch it.

When we recorded Tony Shalhoub's Sacco VO, we took over one of the writer's offices and Greg turned it into a recording studio. He had worked on ATHF and had a Meatwad pinata on his shelf! I bet a lot of people would like to bust that up. (He assured me it wasn't full of meat.)

I can undersand Meatwad, but then again, I live in the South, where everyone slurs their words...

I have no problem with THE DIVINCI CODE DVD.

I don't have it, so no problem.

Bruce has started a trend:

ASO Family Concert: February 4, 2007 1:30pm & 3:30pm
"Orchestra from Planet X"with special guest artists The Magic Circle Mime Company !

Don Miller: Overture to Planet X
Don Gillis: Symphony X -1st mvt. - All American City
Aaron Copland: Variations on a Shaker Hymn
Aaron Copland: Hoe-Down from "Rodeo"
Louis Moreau Gottschalk: Festa Criola from "Night in the Tropics"
Scott Joplin: The Entertainer (arranged by Gunther Schuller)
Morton Gould: American Symphonette No. 2
Leroy Anderson: The Typewriter Song
John Williams: E.T.: The Flying Theme

The Typewriter? Isn't that a little archaic for Planet X?

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I wish there was snow on the ground... Ah, well..

*It was interesting checking out the forecast throughout the day yesterday - everything from just a few flurries to a minor-major winter storm... and back again.

*And if I didn't say it earlier, I really do owe Steve some major thanks for helping me with my move this week. The U-Haul was packed to the brim - and I had to leave a couple of boxes-o-stuff down in DC. And, right now, my room here looks like a warehouse - a very organized warehouse, but boxes from floor to ceiling nonetheless. And I really could not have done it without Steve.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #56 on:** February 02, 2007, 06:23:27 AM »

My media check, m'dear:

iPod: Just finished listening to the latest Nora Jones and somehow managed to stay awake. I need to listen to something more jazzy, now--perhaps some 12th century Gregorian chants.

What I had expected to put me to sleep but utterly delighted me instead was Carly Simon's INTO WHITE CD. It's a wonderful recording. I think DR Tomovoz has reccomended it here before.

TIVO: I have about three weeks' worth of BREAKFAST WITH THE ARTS to fast forward through. Plus THE KILLERS from TCM last night, a film which I have never seen.

DVD: THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA (which I've seen) and LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE (which I haven't.)

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #57 on:** February 02, 2007, 06:26:06 AM »

...And we both enjoyed Mary Poppins last night. And we had great seats too!

*And we ended up having lots of room in our row too. Steve and I were seated at one end next to another couple, and there was another couple seated at the other end. And no one in between - at least eight empty seats. Eight empty prime orchestra seats. So, at intermission, we all moved in closer to the center and were able to have our own armrests. -I'm just wondering is some group/family was not able to make it in, or if the box office should have released the house seat row earlier for public sale. In any case...

-We both shed a tear during "Feed the Birds".

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #58 on:** February 02, 2007, 06:31:13 AM »

Well, I think we're heading down to Steinway Hall in a bit for some "dreaming". -Steve is also looking to upgrade his current upright, so we're going to try out a couple of the newer models.

In the meantime, time to get the day started...

Laters...
